Hello everyone!
Im helping finish my Brother-in-laws Z31 with a rb26 that he started back in 2006. He is in the navy and has two kids so its been a long drawn out project for him that I hope I can help finish.
Im over here cause Im not too familiar with the Z31 ( I come from a Supra background) I need help buttoning up his wiring.
Ill post pics as it came to my shop and where its at now!

I've thought about pouring a slab and getting a lift but I would throw a roof over it haha. This is only nice where it doesn't rain nor snow!
Nice build! Looking forward to more

Are you a member on Z31performance.com? That's a really good forum that has a lot of information about the Z31. There's also another guy putting a RB26 into an 87 Z31 as well, so maybe you can consult with him.

Thanks. The Car left my shop to go up to Washington. Never did quite finish the project, was left to do some wiring, but never got done.
He is in the Navy and is currently on a Sub now and I have no idea when he'll be back.
Ill be there in March tho, maybe I can finish it for him.
