    I chopped the filler neck off due to fabbing a breather tank for the system.

    I'll see what I can find relating to my z31. The pics below are some modded arms and drop spindle for a mates aristo.

    I'll be fitting a 40,000 btu unit from jegs racing which has a 300cfm 3 speed fan blower built in. For $180 is piece of mind that I would not have heating issues.

    Also when the previous owner of my 85 had taken the car in for diagnostic the brilliant mechanic decided to dump head gasket stop leak into the system and I did not want to chance the heater core to fail and fill my fresh rb and radiator with stop leak.

    The z31 hvac system is totally vacuum actuated. Because I do not like the idea of trying to wire in a vacuum pump to cope with boost I decided the whole lot will get ripped out and tossed.

    Welded in a nipple for the iacc and Aacv as well as a flange for the synapse engineering synchronic bov. Also a 3 core s13 radiator modded to fit and a custom made shroud for the 14" fan. Unsure on cfm but the shop who built the car for the previous owner had used an oem vgz31 radiator and shroud with this fan tucked inside very crudely. Lower coolant hose is fitted with a temp switch for the fan relay.

    Modded the plenum to reduce overall piping.

    Built some one piece intercooler piping because I don't care for couplers. 4 couplers is a party any more makes a head ache.

    Got the engine put back together and installed then trailered the project 50 miles home to be finished.

    Wheels were ordered 17x9 +20 because stock wouldn't grip well once it's running again. New block fitted with Pistons.

    Engine was siezed so I started to take it apart. What I found blew me away. Internal: .015" over custom Wiesco pistons spool rods full balanced rotating assembly oil snout to pressure plate spec stage 3 6 puck sprung clutch and flywheel acl bearings hks step 1 cams 264/264 adjustable cam gears and greddy timing belt bolt on: rc racing 750cc injectors precission 5557e dual ball bearing with billet wheel z32 maf aeromotive fpr Nistune type 2 board The list of parts well exceeded my $800 paid for the siezed block. I discovered the heard was ported by a hydroplane mechanic. I have no idea as to what power the car made or what psi the tune was done at. All the info I have is the car ran for two weeks and then it was totaled.

    Ken's z31 I wanna go fast build I am Ken from the Seattle area USA. I bought my 1985 300zx GLL non turbo 5 speed in 2011 with the impression it had blown head gaskets which only an RB swap would remedy. I replaced the bad thermostat and drove it for 4 years. Opportunities arose and I purchased a wrecked 87 300zx with what I assumed was a stock rb20 silver top and 5 speed swap for $800 usd. Car had been sitting for 6 years after the owner wrecked.

    Hello from the states Hey all, my name is Ken and I live on the west coast of the US. I am a first time member but long time reader of this board. I have owned an 85 300zx since 2011. Last year I had the oppertunity to purchase a wrecked 87 300zx with a silver top rb20 for a swear price which I began immediately to strip for my own 300zx. It has been a long process of building a new lthe long block from scratch due to siezed rings causing terrible cylinder wall pitting. This is my first rb which I am excited about because I have dreamt of a rb powered z31 from day one. I am looking forward to being a member of this community and learning from you all.
