I think you should post some engine pictures. The car is a non-turbo.

What size are the rear tires? They don't look any wider than stock Z33 tires, but that could just be the pictures.

I also think you should get 1" adapters fro the front wheels to match the look of the rear wheels. Will also allow you to have properly fitting center caps.

Also, the B&M short throw shifter generally works better when it's INSTALLED, not sitting on the passenger floor:

I don't see how a twin turbo fuel gauge sending unit is going to work in a Z31. That sounds rather stupid.

I don't see how a 250mm twin turbo clutch is going to work in the Z31's NA transmission. It won't bolt to the flywheel.

Either you are full of it, or the person who sold you the car lied about a number of things.

This might clear some things up for you Z-Guru...

You are right it was originally an NA coupe but was converted to a turbo.

Let me know if that clears some things up about the fuel and clutch.

I installed the shifter since that picture, and the rear wheel were widened out to 10.5 and the tire size is 285/40 17. And the 1" adapters are on the way. Here are some pics that might help. [IMG][/IMG]

Nice looking Z. I like the little "Z" on the end of the pin stripe detail. Not a big fan of blue cars, but that one is gorgeous. and welcome to NICO

btw...you can edit pictures so they go ^v instead of <>. It makes reading the post less of a treasure hunt

I know all about using a TT fuel pump for the Z31. I wasn't questioning that. I was asking about the "twin turbo fuel gauge sending unit". I'm 99% sure that won't work in a Z31. Also doesn't answer anything about using a TT clutch. Which flywheel did you use?
