Hi,
The stock figures when new were 228bhp and 242ft lbs torque. That's still a good result for the age of the car though!

Ive looked everywhere and I havent seen those figures??

Wikipedia says.........

..........the twin-turbo Z32s have 300 hp (220 kW) and 283 lb·ft (384 N·m) torque versus the single turbo Z31, which has 200-205 hp and 227 lb·ft (308 N·m) of torque.

Confused now???

Well its still good lol :thumbs:
 
Wiki also says,

" Australian & European models

The Australian & European models made 230 hp (170 kW) in turbo form due to a better cam profile, also known as the nismo camshafts"



Not that wiki is always right, but the euro Z31 turbo had 228bhp:)

I'd be well pleased with that dyno sheet for a standard Z31Turbo.

Wikipedia is quoting US market figures which were lower, as their cars had cats fitted. UK models were 228bhp and the later facelift cars were quoted at 225bhp with slightly lower torque figures too.
I've attached a copy of the original MOTOR Road Test data......

Ive also got a set of TSW Imolas but they dont compare to the other 2 sets lol

Im gonna keep the 3 sets including the standard 16s and im hoping to get them referbed at somepoint! I can have a different look whenever I want then LOL :thumbs:

What do u think??
 
that's an awesome looking z31 :cool: I like the helicopter pics especially :D

I now want an early turbo instead of my facelift :D (I preferred the facelift when I got it, but now I prefer the early look with hood scoop :rolleyes: except in white - facelift still best there ;))
 
The car will still be on standard rims at JF as the Rays need a paint and some rubber (they are balenced on a tub in the pics LOL)

It will all start to come together very soon for my perfect look and my springs are being powder coated silver as we speak :D
