I have a 1990 M30 that I would like to drive but it is just a dog. I need to know if there is something wrong with mine or do they all take off like something is holding it back? Is there any sites to get aftermarket parts?Does anyone make a body kit for this car?Do any other cars interchange other than s13 suspension?
PLEASE HELP NEED TO DRIVE

Re: I need M30 help (prts4days)
I've got an M30 myself, but not with the stock engine, so I can't help you out on your slowness problem. Just remember, it's a heavy car with a somewhat underwhelming engine and automatic transmission, so a speed-demon it is not.
If you look at pictures of R31 Skylines and compare them to the M30, which is an F31 by the way, you will see that other than front bumper, headlights, and taillights, the cars are VERY similar, so I wouldn't be surprised if the chassis themselves had some interchangeability. However, good luck finding parts for an R31 Skyline
Also, there ARE in fact bodykits for the M30 (Nissan Leopard in other countries) but not many, hard to find, and probably even harder to get. The only company name I can think of off the top of my head is Diana.
Oh, almost forgot...you can interchange some parts with those from a Z31...that's the first gen 300ZX. You can use parts from it to convert to 5-lug, and the differentials exchange, I think, so you could theoretically get an LSD for your car that way. The drivetrains are also interchangeable, to a certain extent. I personally have a Z31 Turbo engine and transmission in my M30, but didn't do the swap myself, so I can't tell you that much about it.

Re: I need M30 help (prts4days)
some nissan/infiniti's have an hesitation problem. you can try a search for "hesitation" and see if anything matches your car symptoms. mine hesitates because my 6th cylinder is giving trouble. since my engine doesnt run smoothly when i accelerate, the roughness shakes my knock sensor which then cuts my rpms; meaning sluggish start. the car jack rabbits ok, but a easy take off requires high grade gas and prayer. good luck.
