280zwitha383 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Right on, throw down some pavement. When I was going out with my gf in high school and it wasn't cool with the school (a very legalistic private school) one of my teachers said, "You know, I like what you're doing because I know there are a lot of kids here that want to have boyfriends and girlfriends but are afraid because it's taboo here; but, sometimes the pioneers are the ones that catch the arrows."

Alf Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 well i finally ran my car out of gas and dropped the tank this past weekend. it went smoothly, and i only broke one screw that held on the heat sheild for the differential. i was expecting to see rust and crud galore when i pried the top off the tank, but to my surprise it looked like brand new. this car sat for about ten or eleven years so i was releived. i ditched the electric pump and modified the sump with a 3/8 line complete with new sock filter and special bracing for my new setup. all in all i think it went pretty well, there is a noticable difference in the way the engine runs; smoother idle, smoother acceleration. i still have some ignition and carb tuning to do to make it perfect, i am never satisfied, i don't think i am that great at tuning engines with stock cams, haha. anyway here are some pics of my modifications. stock in tank baffle stock sump with electric pump my modified version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete84 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 How much more difficult is a swap into a Z31 than a S30? The engine mounts and transmission crossmember are custom, but how much more work does it take? I ask as there are a good deal more Z31's that are in non-rusted condition up where I am.
