Yup and also with mentioning the significance of how the z31 shaped Nissans future as the VG was the first mass produced V6 engine in Japan. That VG30E, led to the VG30DE in the Z32, VQ series in most of the Nissan lineup, notably 350/370/G35/G37 and VR series in the R35, Q50/Q60, and the New Z. Pretty much cemented Nissan as the company you go to for fun V6 rwd cars.
I owned a 1985 300zx.... You forgot to mention that generation of 300 ZX had a vocal audible warning which became very annoying the longer you owned the car.... I still remember hearing LIGHTS ARE ON BEEP........ blaring in my ear whenever I parked the car at night..... Other than that it was an amazing luxury sports car.... I sold it when I upgraded to the new style 1990 300 ZX. Great channel btw.
The pic is the z32 motor but no biggie. It’s a lot more interesting looking than the z31 motor! 84 was the only year with the Datsun and Nissan badges! They also made some sub models in the jdm market. Z31 chassis but different motors. 200zr is one of them. I managed to snag some rare but awesome door panels with manual windows! Closest to the US those were was some of the Canadian SF trim models. They had hubcaps too.
I love the Z31, but man the prices have skyrocketed. I bought a very nice '86 2+2 GLL 5-speed in 2005 for $4,000. Some things happened that forced me to sell it, but I'd love to get another one. Unfortunately it looks like I'll have to spend a lot more than $4,000 to get a good example now.
Fantastic vid. Can you do one on the MK3 Supra sometime? I personally adore mine, but I think it's completely inline with what you're already doing here with the 300ZX.
Hi Soda Pop. I own a nice 280zx 83 with talking voice module. My daily driver camry is a 300,000 miles which now has to retire and it time for and upgrade. So far my choices are a 2007 sweet mustang vs leather liked new burgundy/cherry red color low mileage automatic. that I haggle to about 6500 or a 6 speed 2007 350 Z with 89,000. that I might be able to haggle to 10,000. What do you recommend? interior

Thanks for the detailed comment man! Lots of good info. I’m gonna pin this to the top!
Just picked up my first ever nissan and I had to get the 50th anniversary 300zx, I plan to restore her and make it my queen!
I had a Z31 for 3 years, pretty great car.
Awesome lol I’d love to have one
@@TheLeftPedalIf you're still interested a year later, they are extremely cheap nowadays due to barely no demand.
Dude your production qaulity is insane

I own every year z31 and a 90 twin turbo z32 and a 2+2 non turbo 90 z32. They’re awesome cars!

The Z31 is my favorite generation of the Z because it looked better than any Z so far
imo in z32 the mask is too short.

I can’t stand Nissans but I love learning about them when y’all are the ones teaching haha
Lol thank you man. We’ll be doing Hondas later on
i have a z31 im building right now love the vg should make a little bit of power when done
Wrong engine image, also forgot to mention the z31 has an rb20 from the factory 200zr
I appreciate the accuracy of the saggy rear-end.
Good work very interesting.
I still have my 1985 300ZX and it handles very well and I outran the 350 and it's non-turbo and it's nothing fancy about it
The 350z is MUCH faster than any stock or close to stock Z31.
Love this
Thanks!
This should state this applied to USA only EDM was completely different bhp, equipment and mechanical spec

🏆🏆🏆🏆
Damn bro you forgot the Shiro or the 200z
I might do a video on the special and rare models. I didn’t include them on the S30 or S130 episodes either

As a z31 owner that’s the worst car to work on 😐 no space for nothing
I have a Z31, I don’t think it’s that bad. Unless you put headers on and then try to change the oil filter. Then it blows hard. Lol
I want to L28et swap my Z31 ^_^
Here
Thanks for watching man!
@@TheLeftPedal yessir!
I love my z 31 it's a tire smoker lol
