You could ask the previous owner what's been done.

I'm willing to wager there isn't much done to it and it doesn't pull as hard as you think, I'd be willing to bet on a dyno it's about 100 hp less than the 350

when peple "race form a roll" it actually makes slower cars seem more comperable to much faster cars, if one car is barely pulling on another from a "roll" it would smoke it from a "dig" or a a propper drag race launch

I'd be surprised if any stock 20+ year old Z31 would show a 100hp or more on a dyno. Brand new they only turned out 160hp... the Maximas turned out 180hp with the different plenum... still not that impressive for a 3.0L engine.

You're an idiot, you know that?

A good running car, properly maintained will lose virtually no horsepower. For instance, my 84NA, with 210,000 miles on it spun the rollers with 140rwhp.

Not when the moron claims to be a 34 year old mechanic and makes posts like this.

At a lot can't get n touch with original owner, I must say no one puts on exhaust then welds on stock tip keep car looking stock and not no what they were building and looking at engine it has been cracked open all I can say is sleeper who puts on complete exhaust intake injectors And keep it stock looking taking pics today

That's the true definition of a sleeper. It isn't hard to find a muffler with stock looking tips. How can you tell you have a different set of injectors?

And please use punctuation in your posts. It would make it so much easier to read.
