z31 F/R weight ratio

[twilightslide]

just curious does anyone know the weight ratio of a z31? Also how hard is it to find better suspension parts as far as t/c rods, swaybars etc. Thanks

I put mine on a scale once, but i didn't have the rear wheels lined up on the thing right, so I just got a total weight (3202 w/ me in it) instead of total + front/rear. They handle pretty good, and motorsport auto and a few other places sell lots of suspension components.

have you ever drifted it? Cause i have a s13 right now and i'm just wondering how it might stack up. Does this seem like a good deal? it's a 88 turbo, supposedly runs good and the guy wants 1350 but i think i could talk him to 1000.

is it a shiro? those things are beautful. The Z can definitely slide around, but it's not nearly as nimble as the SX. But for me, the Z offers a more enjoyable driving experience straight out of the box - handles good, t-tops, and faster than the SX (and really easy/cheap to make faster). I would buy it. What state you in?

not a shiro, but it's pretty nice. Interior looks ok paint is scratched a little around the front bumper, besides that the exterior is pretty nice. Looks like it still has original paint. I haven't driven it so i don't know how it runs yet. It's in washington

I used to flog the snot out of my 300, I had an 85 turbo.It IS more of a true GT car, but I'm currently looking forone as a track vehicle. There are a few things to look outfor though.

1. The rear camber problem is time consuming to fixif you don't have a lot of experience with chassis work.there are 3 rubber mounts to replace to correct it,subframe connector bushings (2) and the rear diff. mount.

2. The injector recall... call up nissan to find out.

3. There are companies for parts (courtesy nissan, the specialty shop (http://www.thespecshop.com), and a few others)but there aren't that many. I know cusco made a few bitsfor the z31... along with a few other companies. Tokicoand kyb(?) have your struts, suspension techniques makesome bigger swaybars. A lot of my susp. components camefrom group buys at z31.com

4. Haven't been there in a while but z31.com has a lot of infoyou may find useful.

So now that I'm a post ho, I'll go to bed like i'm supposed to now...
