Nissan Fairlady 200ZR

[Master__09]

Here is my 1986 Nissan Fairlady 200ZR. The only Z31 offered with an RB engine from factory and the last straight 6 Fairlady Z ever made.
I'll let the photos do the talking. First is how it sits now and the rest are progress photos from when I got the car until now.

I think I remember you had that CG8 RS back a few years ago?
This would have been on the road about the same time, just with different wheels

[SebastienPeek]

Yep, that's the one, feels like forever ago now...

Ahhh fantastic!, not enough Z31 love around here.
You running powertrix/stance coilovers? Or some custom s13?

Fitment looks spot on. If you ever want to sell that steering wheel let me know haha, we never got that style in the states and it's the best looking stock one imo.

How did you get the nightspeed sticker? I know some of those dudes and I'm curious how this German crew sticker ground it's way to Australia

[SebastienPeek]

Damn, I know exactly where this servo is.



Same spot, different angle..



The Subaru was parked legit around the corner from this all the time. I'm very surprised we never bumped into each other. Sorry for semi-hijack post.

Actually it's just lowered R31 Skyline springs. I will soon be getting a set of S13 fully adjustable coilovers and having them welded to the original spindles so it doesn't throw out my caster. There's a lot of debate on how to lower a Z31 but it seems welding coilovers to the spindles seems to be the safest way, and shipping a set of stance coilovers from the states that have to be welded in anyway seems like a waste of money when I can achieve the same thing locally with S13 coilovers.

I actually picked the sticker up at a car event called All Japan Day here in Adelaide. A friend of mine Stewy Bryant was giving them away on the day.

Your linked photo didn't work but I passed this servo every day for over a year on the way to and from work. I am also surprised we never met!

Thanks! I wanted to hide it in there because 1) I never use the ashtray, 2) I couldn't find anywhere else to mount it and 3) I like it being hidden in case I get pulled over.

Never knew that they excisted. Here we only have the 3 liter or the turbo. Love it!

Not many were produced and the ones still in Japan have suffered extreme frame rotting so even there they're becoming quite rare and desirable.
I own the full factory sales brochure for the car from Japan and had it scanned in and uploaded here if anyone is interested.

If the EU versions had the RB20 fitted instead of those oldschool 3-liter lumps, I would have driven one already... How much does a stock rb20 put down?
