I am looking for a 87-89 turbo Z! Ack! :crazy:
Didn't say you should get one...but you said that your s12 was rarer than it and I questioned that.

I use http://www.searchtempest.com I like how it shows each city in a separate window within the one page.

BUT anyway.

Here Datte, I know your in DC but Pittsburgh isn't too far.

I guess it had a little rust but it was repaired and I know you said '87 and up but hey...its not THAT bad.

The rest of these are '87s and up though.

This one is in Erie, no pictures though and I know you said no red, but oh well. haha

This is also right near Erie. It was NA and he swapped in a turbo but the trans doesn't bolt up for whatever reason. Pretty cheap, looks clean, and you are competent.

This is nice, however, auto.

That's all I found so far.

Whatever you do, don't come down here if you are looking for one. There are basically none available. There is one, but I don't know if it's a turbo, it's not listed on Craigs, and worst of all, it's an automatic. All we have down here are riced out Hondas.

They didn't..a California company converted it post-OEM. Like 300 of them were converted.
They don't look all that bad. Certainly rare.

No, I didn't say my S12 was rarer than a Shiro. You read something wrong.

That's a little light for the color I had in mind, but yeah, I dig the fender flares. I wouldn't go for the stretch tires at all, tho...

Also, it's an '86. I don't like '86s.

The later Z31 tail lights suck. Is it possible to swap the earlier ones onto a later model, or is the rear bodywork too different?

NO THEY DON'T! You're full of crap. I luz them.

Also, the body is different in the rear, it requires welding the older piece onto the newer car.

That's what I figured.
The later ones are so...plain. But mainly I don't like how they leave so much empty space above the bumper. If Nissan had redesigned the bumper to fill more of that space in I don't think I'd mind them.

They are just like one of the Q45s rear lights.

Eh, sort of. But the Q tail lights have depth to them. And, more importantly, they don't float a foot above the bumper.

So I'll just put one of these stickers in between the bumper and tail lights:

I'm looking!!! And I do have to agree with MoD, the 86 does have a nicer rear end ;)

Speaking of which, here's a RED 1986 turbo :rotfl :

And here's some sketchyness:

I'm finding a few 85-86 models. Just incase you decide to settle:
