Hi, I thought since it seems as thought more and more Z31 guy's pop up daily on here i thought it would be nice to set up a Z31 ONLY Showcase. of any and all Z31's you have seen on your travels on the Internet. Maybe it would help people choose what color or rim they would like to go with or what aero or what not. So bring with the Z31 pictures!

wow!, I love the tucked bumper and molded spoiler, I think with the 87-89 rear it would be even hotter, but the ZG flares are best left to the S30's and the grapefruit shooter has gotta go, and it dtrives me nuts when people get a 10" wheel and only enough tire for 8"

the mouldings are on with double sided tape, not sure iof they can be removed without paint damage, also you have to use sidemarkers from an 86-89 as they had a thicker thingy (technical term) to alow for mounting without the added thickness of the sidemarkers, they are also a buit more rounded and I think look nicer, I used rear side markers front and rear as I do not cars for the amber

Take some dental floss and run it under the molding slowly. You can usually get the off pretty easily if you add a little heat as well. The only problem is paint discoloration under the molding.

I gotta admit, I really never gave the Z31 much thought, but wow! I may have another Nissan to obsess over. Hmm.

not a very good pic but the wheels might be CCWs with black centers? I love the S130 hoodscoop/vent in the Z31, I've never seen that done on a Z31

I was readdly looking for a 240z when I found my Z31 years ago, it quickly grew on me, I had also lusted after the other models and have since owned all but the Z33, the Z32 was actually the disappointment of the bunch, don't get me wrong, it's a nice car and has since grown on me but it's more of a luxury car than a sports car and like the Z31 are way too heavy for their own good
