The powerhouse under the Z bonnet is a CA18 or a RB25 ~ confused as it look like a CA18 but that Z should be running on a inline-6 engine ~ eh =S

Good luck on the restoration project.....this Z31 gonna turn into 悪魔NoZetto ~ :evil::top:

Good luck. Looks like a lot of work but once finished I think it's worth it. Nothing is easy but it's the result that satisfy us.

1K? u mean the value or the Horses it produce =S

If it was the Horses,then it will be really interesting to see that amount of power being transferred to the both rear wheel ! =D
