Count Von Purp Z31

[jesus94p]

Well it all started almost 5 years ago. Bought it with a blown head gasket and missing misc. Parts for 400 bucks. Months later it looked like this
http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/100075641.jpg

I was 15 and didn't know much about this car. But I knew I liked and wanted to keep it. It slowly grew on me. I went thru some faces which I don't like to talk about but I'll show them to you guys lol

Black top and wheels

Rattled canned
http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/flatblack.jpg

who doesn't like cool blue light? lol
http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/100_1647.jpg

At this point, I started learning about the stance scene and I knew I wanted to follow it. So I went and picked up some 1 1/2" (38mm)spacers for the wheels

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/IMG_20110909_165335.jpg

Looked better than before but there was alot of low desired. So I installed some coilover sleeves and went low.

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/IMG_20111029_123557.jpg

I was satisfied with the rear but there was work still left for the front. Rode around for a few weeks before hitting my first show.

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/IMG_20111105_140336.jpg

After this I got a little bored with the car and wanted to do something fun. So what did I do?

http://v2lab.com/gallery/winterfest2011/IMG_05477.JPG

And man was it fun. People use to go crazy at shows and write all kinds of stuff. But i got tired and raised the rear back up and added a roof rack.

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/101_3023.jpg

I was also starting to get bored with the interior, So Ebay hub adapter, Wheel, and shift knob were ordered. Picked up some seats and a wink mirror local and it all went in.

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/598438_10150980250063431_500608870_n.jpg

Oh and Led lights were added later

http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/422349_10151056441743431_1678293841_n.jpg

The car called lots of attention at shows but I was still not happy with how the car sat. So I ordered me some cheap knockoff wheels

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/IMG_20120922_162812_zps92ffd523.jpg

and this happened. Spacers still on. Wheels are 17x10 +20. with spacer =-18

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/IMG_20120928_170359.jpg

I was in love with how the wheels looked on the car, but with the lower profile tires the car needed to go lower. So I did this(godspeed s13 coils)

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/IMG_20121014_130519.jpg

So I could do this(didn't stay like that lol)
http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/IMG_20121014_141352.jpg

and this(shorterned towers, scirocco inserts, adjustable perches, godspeed springs and camber plates).
http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/550594_10151196566858431_816122089_n.jpg

At this point I was very please with the stance on the car. I took it to various local shows and people loved it

http://imageshack.us/a/img191/3624/correctiond.jpg

After that show I started to get bored with the car(something I do a lot) and cranked the front a little lower to accomplish this

http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/21158_10151226465513431_501417185_n.jpg

it sat awesome. but the rear wasn't were I wanted it even with the spacer, so I added a 7mm slip on spacer on top and It was perfect

http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/522211_10151135486641546_1792093498_n.jpg

http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/66787_270531143069491_1516763157_n.jpg

http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/196176_353625888068763_2091061469_n.jpg

Anyways I got tired of the rack and took it off and decided to go on a different direction. More of a cleaner look.

http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/76360_319104718206510_2103874031_n.jpg

At this point I had things rolling thru my head and I knew I wanted big changes. So I ordered this

http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/14807_10151363414738431_40460980_n.jpg

And while I waited for the spare time to paint the car, I went and got the hood cf wrapped and picked up a new lip. I also made some splitters just for the hell of it

http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/13147_335397726577209_480111286_n.jpg

http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/6542_10151477074558431_2028914288_n.jpg

Then the day came and this happened

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/64360_10151502165888431_2050177121_n.jpg

All put together

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/65303_10151505308133431_89077579_n.jpg

The paint job wasn't perfect but in the end it was a backyard job so I was pleased

http://distilleryimage11.s3.amazonaws.com/a2fde9eca30611e2b8e822000a1fbcc7_7.jpg

Went to a local show

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8100/8655593505_cd117129b8_b.jpg

tried taking pictures of the car but failed

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/64109_10151539688153431_571901562_n.jpg

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/540706_10151539688288431_368665293_n.jpg

Around my buddy had just finished painting his, the other #thundercookie so we went out and took some pics

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/momo94p/DSC_3773-2_zps118b265b.jpg

And I started getting bored again. So I built me a rear diffuser and roof spoiler and we come to what it looks like today

Car has been thru a lot but I'm happy I never gave up. I love where it stands today and I will never stop doing things to it. Future plans? most likely Stance Solutions Air cups and some legit wheels. But for now, Daily driving will do. Thanks for reading.

[z31na2t]

Hai sexy. hahaha, I had forgotten you used to be that kid with the red turd. Looks good now, you did a good job. 8)

[jesus94p]

You found me my love <3

[forgotten]

cool color you picked up!!!

[240dream]

where did you get that paint?
and how did you make that diffuser, look proper

[jesus94p]

Paint is from tcpglobal and I made the diffuser out of an abs sheet.

[benarovi]

I can dig that loose the stickers and wheels and it'll look a lot
Better

[jesus94p]

Yeah the wheels will go once I can afford new wheels. As for the stickers, those are staying on for now.

[WristWork]

I personally liked this part of the evolution the best.

Can't argue that you went with it and did what made you happy. Nice ride, keep the z31 alive!

[OBEEWON]

I cringed a lot until the purple. I love the color and the splitter and diffuser came out cool. What matierial did you use to make them and where did you buy it?

[jesus94p]

ABS Plastic and I picked it up locally.

[Bmxer300zx]

Wow I love how this turned out.
Went from average to awesome, love seeing a clean z31 build not to many do it.

[supersayianjim]

interesting, any plans to go turbo??

[ReallyBroke]

I really like these cars. its good to see somebody doing something with one. most of these just get ran into the ground, then scrapped.

[jesus94p]

Thanks and nope, staying N/A

[simmode1]

Thanks and nope, staying N/A
Sounds like a problem free recipe for cheap, on-demand torque. How does the ZG33 swap feel in comparison to the old engine? What kinda of power do you estimate it's making?

[jesus94p]

feels a lot stronger than before. with the current setup it should be around the high 170s. With the plans i have in mind, once its done im hopping to crank around 200.

[simmode1]

^^^Nice... Frontier/Xterra supercharger, maybe? Would love to see this thing with dual exhaust.

You make me wanna get a Z31. I gotta stop letting ppl talk me out of it citing the difficulty of the S-chassis suspension conversion...

Got any vids of Count Von Purp in action?

[jesus94p]

nope, all N/A. and dual exhaust just doesnt look right on z31s

[ReallyBroke]

Why NA?

boost is your friend.

[jesus94p]

Because this way I wont blow it. If i went boost, it wouldn't last lol Plus i got a boosted car already

[g35gabby]

Seen car through out the years, the purple looks great in person. Love it.

[jesus94p]

here's another one from this past weekend

At first I thought you were being too harsh... then I looked at all the pics.

It's like every bad fad that came along this car was subjected to. I guess the "car shows" part kinda explains a lot of it with just following the trends.

[jesus94p]

I lol at these comments. Anyways, got my valve springs in the mail. Now I'm just waiting on MSA to send me my stage 3 cams.
