New member with a Fairlady 300ZR

[staminasanj]

HI,
I'm a new member currently doing a rolling restoration on a rare Z31 Nissan fairlady 300ZR with the VG30DE engine.

The car was stood under a tree for 2 years when I bought it. I've been told by 3 specialist that It's the only one in the UK.
The car is 80% complete and passed its MOT yesterday with flying colours and it unusually has zero rust anywhere nor has it been welded. It's showing 70,00 km (It's a JDM import) which seems to correspond with the condition of the car.

Had the timing belt and tensioners replaced yesterday (£285 for parts alone!)
Also a slight misfire that's been diagnosed to 2 faulty coil packs so have ordered all six. Unfortunately the later z32 packs are not compatible and also they are a nissan main dealer only part !! £72 each !! but had no other option.

Any info and specs would be much apreciated

Cheers
Sanj

Im new to this forum at well... i currently am a newer owner of a 1990 300zx i have some pictures, and currently doing a n/a engine swap. yes just with the vg30de style engine. engine is out of a 1995 300zx thouugh. so im hoping all goes well.. i would post pictures but im not sure how to post them. and would make my car my main pic but havent figured out either... but also what simple modications i could to get more horsepower, and better performance. exhaust(catback), intake, anything else for under 500.00 a piece i could add into that? also welcome to the club man, but im kinda in the same boat you are.
