Not a barn find but close enough......new(used) car for me.

BUT, there is nothing stopping an ingenious person from gutting that phone, and putting a digital GSM phone inside the case, and rigging the buttons so they still work as they should.....

Something to ponder....

I think you're right about the analog phone. I had a similar one in my wifes car of that vintage. They quickly became obsolete. Although the interior is dated (not a fan of digital dashes) the car looks pretty solid, nice find.

f***ing jealous. I love Z31's like no one's business. 117k!? Digital Dash!? Did you get a pair of Tom Selleck shades to go with it!? Make it a 200ZR and throw an RB20DET in there. Then again, that's a young VG..

The only difference was the cams. It used the exact same everything else. You can find those cams from NISMO for about $400, adds about 10HP to the wheels.

I like z31 cars but this one looks weird to me. What is with the hatch? It doesn't look like the inspirational car that Jay posted.
