Hey all,

I just managed to get my hands on a 87 200ZR Fairlady.... There are few things that I want to do to it and I need an idea as to what other cars I can get body parts etc off... There isn't alot of info out there on these!

Engine is easy - RB20DET.. eventually it will be RB25 or RB26 :P

Gearbox - also R32

Drive train??? Possibly R32 tailshaft? It runs the R200 diff and thats in good nick so Im not concerned about that!

Body...hmmm... its classed as a Z31 so I am hoping Z31 300ZX... Dave (T04GTR) mentioned that DR30 are interchangable as well.... does anyone have any other ideas?

Cheers,

Anna

Heya

Ive got a Nissan 200ZR (87) as well. Its the same body as tha Aussie delivered Series 3 300ZX (commonly called the Californian). Trying to get hold of as many people with same cars to help with parts too. Been trying to locate front parkers (as mine are Amber) that are clear/amber from S3 300zx. Drivetrain is pretty easy to source parts for. A lot of Skyline gear is Interchangable. Drop me a PM if you need some parts. Will try keep look at for them and hopefully you can do same.

cheers

Not a Z31 but I im looking at putting a SR20DET in a 280z :/ but going to be in the same boat as you for parts lol if you find a good parts bin for these age cars drop me a pm

Yeah the 200ZR is a fantastic little car, good to see another one out there. If you want any info about them, I know a fair bit about the RB20 redtops, and the Z31/R31 series in general (as heaps of parts are interchangable between the two) also have owned pretty much all the variants of the Z31/R31 series at some stage.

    • Not too bad. Horrible compared to non-twinscroll options available, but not as much as genuine. So....workable. Probably still smarter to convert manifold to T4.
    • Those controllers don't do anything, except change how the signal appears to the controller. So for example, to make it more sporty, where you first put a little bit of throttle in, it instead will send a higher impulse, and then taper it down towards the target.   In theory, you can learn to do what the throttle controller does, but it feels unnatural, for example a normal take off at 15% throttle input in sport mode on Duncans setup, might actually tell the ECU, give it 75% throttle for 0.5 seconds, and then drop to 25% for a second then tailor it back to 20% throttle and maintain that. Compared with the normal throttle might have gone "I'll give you 50% of what you asked for, then half a second later I'll give you 50% more of what you're asking compared to what you have, and then in the end I might let you have 13% in total.   At the same time, engine setups like when cruising on the highway, while on light throttle may have the actual throttle 70% open, and playing massively with variable valve timing. A small change in your throttle request will see the motor just mildly tweaking torque request by adjust cams every so slightly, but give it a sudden gut full quickly, it'll bring the cams back into a performance mode ready to go, and then the throttle to follow the position of the pedal, which gives a lot more response. Hence the controller giving a much bigger input to the ECU then back it off, makes the throttle overall feel more responsive.   Peak power etc overall though is unchanged.   And as Duncan has said, this is why they have to make a different controller mapping typically per make/model as they are all doing different things etc.
    • Update 2: To make a custom TS T3 .82 Vband housing to suit a G30 super core, it will be $1000AUD. I’m still inquiring shipping cost 
    • I assume some busted arse rusty one may be getting a new lease of life Are the chassis numbers stamped on the JDM/AUD models? Or just the riveted on plate?
