Interested to see how this comes out Chris. I see you and Harris are going to the Ole Skool Meet on Friday with the 240...I am going to try and make it. Looking forward to catching up with you, its been a while. Yasin

This!!!

That is correct K!!! Mine rubbed ****really**** badly at the front of the rear fender before the top...I ruined a perfectly good set of brand new Yokohamas (swiss cheese!).

Please provide some details..I might be interested.

I hear you Bloz..while the Z31 Turbo may not be the fastest thing in the world right now and V6 Camrys can humble them (who would have thunk), they are plenty quick to commute maybe 1-2 times per week to work. They just look great, are solid, well proportioned and a perfect all rounder. I would love a clean one, that I would put an beautiful hand made exhaust on, turn the boost just a notch (and maybe an intercooler)..I love the factory 16-in wheels and the factory ride height.

You bet I'll visit Ron! I'll take you and Paul out for drinks and some food!

As of late I am aching for a nice clean Z31 Turbo ('84 Anniv. Edition, Shiro or an '87-'88). I sadly missed a really nice adult owned '84 AE Turbo local to me in Houston, but have been scouring the classifieds, Craigslist, eBay etc frequently. I really feel these cars are coming into their own and when I compare them to the MA70 / 7MGTE Supra or the FC3s Mazda RX7 TurboII (both great cars), the Z31 Turbo seems so much more appealing (also love the look and styling of the Starion \ Conquest ESI-R but hate the TBI and the 2.6L 4 cylinder engines in those cars). Don't be surprised if I report back in with a new addition to the family (when I should be using that money to fix-up my house...laughing!). Yasin

Ron - That car I am 100% guessing was a 280SL to begin with. As a by the way Mercedes starting putting the letters before the the numbers in 1996/7 (280SL vs. SL280 for example) and this car is easily as pre-1986. I would not jump to such a hasty conclusion...it is a cool engine swap...if you took time to notice this engine has individual throttle bodies, full engine standalone and I bet high compression, head work, a worked exhaust and a hot cam..on other words this baby will easily put down a cool 250whp and not break a sweat...the MB 2.8L could never run with this particular L28. Personally..I like it..great \ tough stance and the Wantanabes look great too. Yasin

That looks good..interested to see if it will rub.

That is correct most Canadian S30 cars have long rusted. That is an easy $4K car but need to poke under the car and look at the rust on the floors and frame to be certain.

This is where I placed mine. Oil cooler is made by Permacool. Lines and fittings are -10 and I am using a Permacool thermostat and oil filter adapter kit that threads to the block. Not a cheap set-up but a very effective set-up and I also have an Auotmete oil temperature gauge mounted in my dash.

I feel your pain. Water in a house is a terrible and mortifying experience. Good luck!

Those are Boyd Coddington wheels, and they are from the 1995-1998/9 vintage, I can tell that from the center caps over the lugs. I like the lip but the centers are very dated and not my style. Those wheels were very expensive brand new. I have had Boyds make a custom set of wheels and the quality is good, but expensive and the wheels will fold if you just "look" at a pothole or raised manhole cover. Yasin

Ask a technical question about Turbos..you get two maybe three responsones. Ask a question about girls and relationships...you get two pages worth of responses..go figure. Go buy the damn liter bike will you! Yasin

You can make your own lines, just buy the Earls hoses and fittings (follow the instructions on how to insert the fittings in the hoses, or better yet buy the Push Loc fittings and voila easy). I have been doing this for years and years.

I wish that was the case with a coilovered S130..I had nothing but expensive and tedious issues with my 9.5" wide -19mm Rotas...it worked out in the end but what an effort.

I missed this post...great looking S130...beautiful in fact!!! Love the work and attention to detail, would be interested to know why the adaptation to the Z31 suspension?

Rent a (smallish) house Aux with a garage, might be a little more outlay of $$$ but you can give your Apt complex and their HOA the middle finger. Heck if things are going solid with you and your GF she could move in, you guys could share some bills and you may wind up SAVING some money! Yasin

Undergound Racing is working on my Stage 2 Murcielago right now..should have it back in 3weeks.

Those 4.2L Audi engines do not do it for me..415hp..you could get that with a L28Turbo. The tensioners on the engines are on the backside of the engine too..entire engine has to be removed to replace them...it would be a novel (but expensive) swap. Yasin

Congrats Phil!! When are you coming down to Houston, or do I have to come up to Dallas? Yasin

Saw this and could not figure it out. Car has a replacement J-Pipe and no intercooler but that hose that goes over the valve cover to the right side of the engine is connected to what exactly (and what is that hose doing anyway?). Weird! Yasin

Cool...all I get is mouse turds when I move into a new place!

Wow..this is sad to read. I never thought the day would come, as child growing up I used to lust after BBS wheels on any car I would own.
