Nice car, but any better info on the engine setup? 300ZR's were a later model special run using a VG30DE, so quad-cam/non-turbo motor. This being a single cammer, mean's its not really a genuine 300ZR.

yupp, I was thinking the same as was expecting to see a z32 motor in this..

It's a original ZR I still have the orginal vg30de engine that I bought it with but it has blown head gasket and was no use to me so I fit this worked z31 vg30et engine in it

fez the issue is probably your price

20k is about 10k above market value

yea may get 12k but realistically your engine is a very undesirable combo for a zed lover(that likes reliability)

Better check prices here in the states for that. Plenty of 300ZXT to compare your prices to. I was under the assumption that a 300ZR came with red top RB20DET.

ive got 1 of these in Qld, the 200zr has the rb20det redtop, the 300zr has the vg30de. what does it say on the nissan build plate on firewall? vg30??

jon.

theres a 200zr on carsales for round 7k.

It really is a buyers market when it comes to niche rides like this.

I sold my 88 cali with a zsport motor and no gbox for $1500 which I think is crazy given only 250 came into the country 23+ years ago.

16k wow, good luck dude.

I wish it was otherwise, but I just dont see people lining up to buy z31s for that kind of coin.

A guy was selling his insanely modded 200zr with an animal rb26dett for mid 20's not too long ago and not sure if he even sold it.

I personally cant wait for the prices of these things to go up. 23+ years old its about time...

I'm about to commence an rb26dett transplant into my 88 cali.

You wouldnt happen to have a 200zr ECU, engine loom & sump pan lying around would you?

Nah I got no 200zr parts liying around I wish I had a 200zr cross member so I cld build my 87 cali with a rb26det, yeah I seen that black z31 400+rwkw and 100k spent on that car

ive got 1 of these in Qld, the 200zr has the rb20det redtop, the 300zr has the vg30de. what does it say on the nissan build plate on firewall? vg30??

jon.

Yeah mines a 300zr plated vg30de with stonger gearbox and the LSD dif

only offering advice old son

i have owned about 10 so dont really have any personal experience to back it up :whistling:

You have owned 10 Nissan 300zr that have the vg30de engine in it?

You have owned 10 Nissan 300zr that have the vg30de engine in it?

your talking about fatz lol, hes owned like 10 of every import

oh and +1 about the price, you gotta remember you can buy an insaine 32 GTR for that price

for 20k there are just hundreds more cars out there that are faster, more reliable, just as rare to find, and in talking about rare the R33 IMPUL is more rare than this but it doesn't mean its a sought after car

some cars are rare for a reason, like the toyota toyopet, there are like 5 in the country...but its just junk

then if were talking about collectors cars they are only worth money in prestine original condish, once modified you actually lose value

honestly mate its not a dig at you or the car, its just that the kind of peope who want the Z31 want it stock, or the people who want a modified one will not pay more than 10k

so the chioce you hav to make is wheather you are willing to keep the car forever or sell it for what people are willing to pay

and i would trust fatz, hes never wrong about these sort of things

"edit"

forgot to mention i had a look at a Prince skyline GTB a few years back, the guy had an RB25DET engine in it

the car in original good condish is worth 50k, his car sold for 10k after 6 months of asking for 15k

as much as we get labled the bad guys, we who deal with cars everyday of our lives only give you honest advise

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
