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 had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
