wow... i had no idea there was a vert Z31

ugly as sin, buts crazy

**ThatGuy** · 12-05-2008, 10:09 AM

Rare car =

Being possibly the ugliest Z-Car, and looking even goofier with the top up =

***CrimsonRockett*** · 12-05-2008, 10:15 AM

Horrible paint job.

You can still see the red!

Dunno, just not feeling it.

Flicktitty · 12-05-2008, 10:19 AM

man, if that ish was local i would totally jump on it.

***S14DB*** · 12-05-2008, 10:20 AM

What's a Convertable? Can I eat on it? some sort of sports car lunch wagon?

stiizy · 12-05-2008, 10:40 AM

That car is ugly as hell.......

Who gives a fuck if it's rare

qt_240 · 12-05-2008, 10:43 AM

just doesnt look right.. .

nevaland9 · 12-05-2008, 10:54 AM

the z31 was prob the biggest POS nissan ever made.. dont even want to imagine one with a soft top, good find tho..i guess

LA_phantom_240 · 12-05-2008, 11:16 AM

Dude... I dunno, maybe I just have a thing for odd cars, but I think it's sexy with the top down.

Okay, I hate the z31 front... but I would love to see this thing with a vq35 or vh45... or an lsx with twin exhausts coming out its ass.

HyperTek · 12-05-2008, 12:03 PM

ive seen a few z31 verts pop up on los angeles craigslist from time to time..

I dont htink Z31s are bad.. better looking then sohc s13s
not the prettiest Z, bbut still deserves its respect

Quote:

In 1983, the Z was drastically revised with the introduction of the Z31 model. The big news for the Z31 was that it was the first Z to be powered by a V6 engine (although a turbo inline six was still available in select Japanese models). Again, the Z31's were heavier and more complex then their predecessors, but the turbo Z with its turbocharged VG30ET V6 was a very fast car for its day. My good friend had a turbo Z31 when were high school and I have plenty of good memories of cruising around in that car and I remember thinking it was pretty damn fast! I have a feeling that '80s sports cars are going become the next big thing, and the Z31 with its "high tech" styling could become a favorite as more1980's nostalgia settles in. Scoop them up now while they are still cheap!

Kalashnikov · 12-05-2008, 12:05 PM

My question is........how did he do the 5 lug conversion to put those Z32 wheels on?

Using Z32 arms, knuckles and hubs?

HyperTek · 12-05-2008, 12:11 PM

Z31s are 5lug... some where 4 lug

A Spec Products · 12-05-2008, 01:15 PM

...as long at its not a Datsun DOG.

LOL

*slider2828* · 12-05-2008, 01:26 PM

I think its cool actually... Top up not so much, but top down is alright...

mRclARK1 · 12-05-2008, 01:36 PM

I'm still meh...

The Z31 is the worst of the Z's IMHO.

The other 351 were put out of their misery decades ago.

DUFFM4N · 12-05-2008, 03:49 PM

car is very over hyped in that craigslist add

BustedS13 · 12-05-2008, 04:07 PM

Seriously. I want to see one turned into a dope ass machine.

UfoZ8myCow · 12-05-2008, 05:22 PM

Whatever, Id totally rock that thing as a silly daily driver. I'd get some bright red Ray Ban Wayfearers and blast 80s music all day long with the top down.

QFT.

seriously, the whole cressida thing blows my mind. what a pile of fuck.

HyperTek · 12-05-2008, 07:13 PM

i know the z31 isnt the best looking Z, but it has its history behind it and Nissan, being it was at the time Nissan North America's flagship sports car and the racing history behind em.

I know the rear suspension isnt that favorable.

They can look pretty decent.

LA_phantom_240 · 12-05-2008, 07:19 PM
