About

In 1984 Nissan Motors produced 75,351 of its all new 300ZX (Z31) for the United States market. Of these Z cars 5,148 limited-edition 300ZX Turbos were badged to honor Nissan’s 50th Anniversary. 84' was also the year that Datusn officially became Nissan in the US. The cost of this Z ($26,000) was very pricy for the time (todays equivalent based on inflation rates; ranges in $52,000 range)... I didn't pay that much. I got mine busted for much much cheaper.

-Sending off My Turbo to get Tweaked/Modified.
-Working on a Custom Modified Maxima Upper Pleanum to Promote Flow.
-I have the Rear Sub-Frame/ Suspension from a Z32 as well as one from a S14 that I will swap (still deciding). The Sub-Frame doesn't allow the car to squat when you get on it, increases stability around corners and gives me some minor form of camber adjustment. I will also go from a 3.54 open Diff, to a 4.11 LSD. Should make it pretty peppy :)
