Amazing. Best VG33 build I’ve ever seen. You are a talented individual. I want this engine in my 02 Frontier. Haha.

Oh wow, I remember subscribing to you back when I was following your builds on z3performance, then your YT channel... I was 15 and had just bought my first car - a Z31, of course. 1985 N/A 2+2, with only 80k miles (for $1,000!). Your builds got me into working on cars, and within two months I'd swapped the timing belt, radiator, thermostat, and water pump with nothing but a lot of time, swearing, busted knuckles, and rudimentary HF tools. That was 15 years ago, talk about a trip. Really miss my old Z31 now. 12 cars later and I still think about it.

This is wicked! Excited to see some pull footage!

Your car is absolutely beautiful, excellent job on the Fab work. Can't wait to see the next video with it on the Dyno then hopefully running it in the quarter mile.

I honestly forgot I was subbed to this channel and was pleasantly surprised with this video. Great z31

Cool car. Very clean I happen to love my cd009 but I’m only putting down 358whp on my 07 sedan na. The weak part was the factory clutch slave cylinder that is now a Jim wolf unit with lightweight flywheel an clutch. Still holding together at 209k miles. When the powertrain gives up the ghost it’s getting an ls3 and t56 though. Much cheaper to build the Chevy motor and maintain it dollar per dollar.

Bro your Z31 is so nice honestly a dream build for me, I currently own a 87 Z31 N/A and running it as a project so I aspire to have it on your level very soon. I got a quick question how much did tremec charge for the custom 6speed bc i still have the stock 5 and it runs great ofc after a little more beating it will probably need to be replaced or fixed as for the LSD with 20 clutches sounds amazing to run and probably super fun as well.

@z31online

Thanks man! This isn't a custom Tremec 6 speed. It's just the Tremec Magnum-F 2.66. It was $3500 before shipping. You would need a custom bellhousing, clutch, shifter, and driveshaft. That's another $4500. So it's roughly $8000 for this transmission setup.

🏆⚡️It’s always good to see someone truly appreciate this vehicle. I have an 87 Z31 GLL. It has suffered over the years because I didn’t know how to do some preventive maintenance to it when I got it as a young man. Overall it’s running and running pretty good. I’m doing a lot of work on it now to restore some of its glory. One issue that I have is the AC. I really want to fix that. I think my vacuum canister is junk. I don’t hear the canister operating. Should it make some sound while in operation? It blows hot air out of the defrost vents. Last night I charged the compressor and it blows cold now but it still only comes out of the top vents not the face vents. Any idea how to fix it? I’m thinking vacuum leak somewhere or the canister itself.

Everything from bad power supplies, bad capacitors/transistors, dead spots on the actual liquid crystal display. Beyond the flakey attributes, they are incredibly laggy when when accelerating or deceleratings, even on factory turbo and power levels.
