you can do an RB26 (i think .... god is one of the RB motors) to a Z31 :D .... love to do something like that but its not going to happen ..... i gav eup my ZX to get my skyline which means tha tmy fevil parents (with only an appreciation for holdens ) have control of Z31 now. But my Z31 is an Pandoras box ..... phuck knows what is in it (but guy that used to have it .... had it from new and now has an 400rwkw R33 ....endless money) it just beats the living daylights out of an R33 in a drag ...... got huge mofo alumininum pipes coming off turbo ...... just an absolute monster ..... pity noone is WA knows how to tune it :D

costs??? dont mention that question around me! I cant count (or try not to on purpose)

on a more serious note, it depends on how much of the work you can do yourself, how much you can source parts for and what kind of standard/finish your are willing to accept (how fussy you are to detail)

but it will be never be cheap...another way to put it is that you can buy a GTR and STILL have money to modify it for the same cost...but uniqueness doesnt come cheap!

Bam...... well the car will cost you 8K ..... as for the motor ..... no idea :D

my ZX is two-pak paint ..... always comes up a lot nicer when washed that the R33 ..... ZX is kept out of sun but its paint job is A1!!! ummm as for R33 ..... sits in sun a little too much :D but will come back to me all buffed so should be nice n brand newish!! :D

240Z .....ever seen under a Z31's bonnet?? its what mechanics call a spaghetti factory .... i can identfiy stuff under R33's bonnet but Z31 have no clue ..... and unfortunately neither does most mechanics :D

oh well wish i could keep her but cant ..... gotta just throw money away on whale ...... actually vowed tonight to dad i would have a Z32 as well one day ..... or a 350Z ..... what the hell ..... i'll just have both :D lauren to bank "what do you mean i only can afford to finance a Scooter?"

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
