This is my turd. I paid $1000 for it....sometime in 2010 I think. Dont know, had like 40 z31s. Anywhoooo....
It was a mess when I got it...solid, straight chassis...but the hood was banged up and the hatch glass was broken.

What a turd! lol
So I had what I believed was a cracked manifold...
https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/270097_1809563326365_5192811_n.jpg
It was a big crack...
https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/259905_1809567526470_7687828_n.jpg
Escalated quite quickly, actually.

Wait...rewind for a second. I forgot to mention, this was a factory automatic car. So another project was auto to manual swap. I did that in a day, no real pictures.
ugly mess though here:

Awesome CLSD (not stock) in factory Z31 diff case, with finned cover.

Sooo...this happened:

So I figured it was a good time to install some stuff I've had for a while
http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1240615_10200386947063775_1742385614_n_zpsf10ba6e9 .jpg
Swapped out the cheapo boost gauge for an autometer I found

Then I threw a RSB-07 CAS in for giggles...absolutely nothing changed with how it ran.

BIG Update alert
SO, while drifting I could only go for so long before it'd start to run warm because the maxima fans suck balls. I decided it was time to go to the good old trusty Taurus fan.
Step one was pulling the bumper cover
http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1173597_10200396374939466_1684922208_n_zps43ff5247 .jpg
I got the maxima fan removed and the taurus fan in....the next issue was my intercooler routing. I had to cut some of the taurus fans shroud down so the pipe could go over it.
http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1238191_10200396648306300_1208632367_n_zps67d92c6c .jpg
http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1148890_10200396649506330_1144106605_n_zpsfbad7622 .jpg
So i got it all back in and wired up and such.
http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1175726_10200396675946991_295319661_n_zpsfe344f2a. jpg
I then noticed once the bumper cover was back on and the hood was shut...as soon as the fan turned on the car would want to stall or would stall. SO, the solution was a shield/cover for the air filter to keep the air/turbulance from the fan down....its not the prettiest, but it works! Function > form (for the most part)

And ready for the next weekend...

THEN...One of my cam seals started leaking...so I decided to take all this shit apart again..

Then started reassembly after changing the cam seals, and cleaning the oil off stuff
http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1175380_10200427687202253_1767550927_n_zps72810fd3 .jpg

Sunday 9/15! Had a blast, ran out of tires fast beause I didnt have many and one set was a bitch and came apart immediately. Had fun anyways. I really love the car with the ASCO solid motor mounts, poly trans mount and other random bits.

9/23 was fun...2 New Z31s! My friend Jeremiah bought a minty 87NA with 90k miles, and we went in on a 86T parts car with 102,000 miles which has less rust than 99% of all Z31s. He just wants the engine parts.

After getting it all back together I adjusted the parking brake then I went and performed an e-brake 180 from about 60mph...so now we're all good with the e-brake functioning properly which should add to the fun.
A week or so prior I ordered a brand new 86GL dash harness so I could make use of my analog dash.
It came on the 4th.

I got all of the analog dash stuff installed...pictures later?

On the 19th I decided to do some tinkering and "maintenance"/modifications.

Thats all for now...on the 28th I moved down to Illinois. Awesome car is awesome. Drive 100 miles, drift all day...drive 100 miles back - then make a 800 mile trip the next day.
