No freaking way. I bought my front end swap and was looking for a vid on it. Plus there’s no better z31 youtuber than you.
I owned an 87 and always thought the Zenki front was better, it's just got that 80's style that the car needs.

To avoid swiss cheesing your headlight buckets, make a paper template of the bucket hole (s) from the parts car, using the crossmember spot weld flange edges as a X-Y reference. Of course this only works if you have the parts car as a source. Great video!
Definitely can see you blowing up making this content again since you explain everything so well.
Yessssss! I have the 87 front. Just need a z31 haha. As always, awesome work!
Good to see you back
Love the progress sir! Good job!
Nice man. Needed some new z31 content!
From Japan. The first half is cool...
Good job. Love the build
This looks amazing!
wow i never would have even thought about doing that but my z 31 is a 87. nice job bro. you definitely have SKILLssss.
Thank you!!! Thank ive been looking for a cheap kouki to do this lol
Thank you good sir. I have a '84 slicktop with a 87 front bumper only. Still has the 84/85 headlights and hood. Bumper was shaved a bit to accommodate the headlights in the closed position. I want a zenki front again. I bought it like that :/
Very good job . keep on making more videos
why am i even watching this? im not even doing a front end swap on my z31....oh wait its because you do an excellent job at explaining things and your videos are awesome. keep it up
love my 87 2+2, kouki front end is best imo, nice car man!
This looks great
Great video!!!
The fitment issue on the front lower lip is a well know issue , in your case with the zenki fenders it makes the gap even wider.
Ambitious
Great video
Where you been? Miss your content. Hope all is well. Z31 owner for 32yrs. From Chattanooga Tn. Thanks
Pretty cool upgrade! Was curious how're the carpets holding up? Looking to do something similar to my car.
I've seen some overseas zenkis with the kouki headlights with a zenki front end
man i started missing my zs after watching your videos again :/
man the kouki fronts look much much better.
Hey dude could you do a walk-through of setting a distributor correctly. Like if it's removed and how to reinstall correctly. Because the gear will fit any way but not point correctly if not aligned. Thanks man.
Dope build man. My first car was a 84 non turbo then I got an 85 turbo. Wish I knew how to n had the $ to hook it up like that bak in the day. Mine was bought in Alaska n had a ton of electrical problems tho. Had a lot fun w it tho. What you hitting on the dyno? You goin to put a bigger turbo on?? I think you should haha
Did you touch-up the raw metal edges with any kind of paint or sealer? I forsee rust growth if not..
@turbochargedcreations where did you go man? I’ve been looking forward to seeing the end results of this... I don’t even have a JDM but like your content!

Que bien seve exente trabajo cuando lo pintes muestra el video
So I have a 1986 , I would like to change the bumper to one of the 88 89 for that smooth look. If I only get the hood and the bumper what els would I need if I did not want to get the lights?
The bottom plate on the headlight seems to be what's preventing it from seating all the way. Could you not remove that instead of cutting the body? Or is the lens of the headlight bulged out too?
I learned absolutely nothing lmaooooo I already have an 87 but thanks it was fun to watch
awesome vid, but personally I think the zenki looks better :)
How do you wire the lights to work? The zenki an kouki have different style plugs in the back of the light.
So, the PITA fender nuts way up inside the front of the fender holding on the nose cone ...? Did you delete or just not go there in the video?
What hub do you use for your steering wheel? Thinking about getting a momo
Do you have a link for the bumper and lip?
What did you do about the intercooler set up with the pipe routing on the new bumper
What is the difference between the two, I just bought a z31
Man I miss my Z31 :/
is the secondary latch panel from your existing front end? or did you have to get the late model panel?
Should I get a z31?
i gotta know, where do you get your parts from?
where would you get all this kouki stuff?
Have you made it to the track lately
What side skirts are you using??
what wheels are those?
Can you do this to my car :( ?😂 what experience level would you say this job is ?
Chuki > Zenki > Kouki Great video though, especially all the explanations.

You think the hood from the 84-86 300zx hood will fit on an 87 300zx?

Down where the hood is between the headlights, the hood will not be the right width. The early headlights are a different width than the later ones.

Maybe with a ton of modifications, the hood indent for the headlights are different and the front bumper
Zenki > Kouki but its awesome nonetheless
Just bought a 1985 Z31 with 32k miles today. Anything important I needa know 😂

Asking since I bought a front bumper and headlight buckets from Zbroz31, but he couldn't find an 87 plus ECU to sell me
Ill buy all the stuff you dont end up using
Cmon don't be showing me this, ur getting me all interested in the swap now. I can barely afford general maintenance, but now i gotta save up n do it.
Thats a kouki, zenki is the zx that looks like a childish lambo buddy
Rip zenki look, i like it way better
Great video
