1985 300zx 2+2 restoration (My way)!

[nacnud]

We are off to the paint shop for about 4 weeks! A change is as good as a rest so, they tell me!!!

Février de notre calendrier du club.....maybe you next year ?

[nacnud]

Well you never know! Let's take it step by step👍
Looking for info for tuning the 1988/89 single turbo engine?
Also engine part suppliers in Europe?
One thing I don't understand is remapping?
Any help is welcome!

To-day i got up very early 05;00 am (didn't sleep at all) and went very early to the paint shop! It was my job to clean the cabin, and spray all the walls with a sticky substance to collect any dust left over! Then the heating went on once all the panels & the body were inside! My job to-day was masking up the car to make sure i had no over-spray. Well you have seen how i like to work, and the underneath had also te be masked up! Pfffffffffffff, the guys in the shop kept looking through the windows at me sweating away inside and underneath the car, made me feel at home! Anyway, after what seem'd like ages, but the car was finally ready to paint! Then they sent me home

[nacnud]

No they did not send me home!!!!!! I had to take the pictures of course, and keep the painter on the right track! Well after many hours of spraying, and i lost count of the number of refills, the oven went on, and we drunk lots of van-nelle koffie! late in the afternoon we rolled the z out of the cabin outside to see its first sunlight of many!

I love it When a plan, comes together !!,

Rear brakes revision. Never Looked for new pistons, just fixed 'em myself!

New Pistons are available

But the game would have not been so pleasant

[nacnud]

Yes i know thanks! Have also bought 2 spare ones a few years ago! Well i had fun repairing them, and that's what its all about for me. i don't want to finish the car to quickly

[nacnud]

now tying up the loose ends! These parts took quite a long time to finish, but the result is great! I am looking for a front lip spoiler for the 1984/85 turbo model, so if anyone has one for sale, i am interested? The turbo model is wider than the one in the picture!

Do you know Erica in NL?
She has donor z31 cars

[nacnud]

Jep! I know Erica very good thanks!
She does not have a turbo spoiler at the moment!

Hallo,
sorry for the late reply! I am getting around to restarting my restoration work on the z31 after being delayed for a while due to other commitments! I am of course interested in any tips and advice you have regarding the tunning of the z31 engine, with a single turb0?
will check your link later this evening!
Thnx for the compliment!
