To answer your question "what is a Shiro"? The Shiro special edition was the all white special (even the rims are white) of which only 1000 were made all Turbos and all identical. It had the simplest things such as anolog dash and none of the creature comforts found in other Z31s (it was the sportiest Z31 put out it). It had Recaro bucket seats, and all were 5 speeds. They came with a viscous coupling LSD. All had suspension upgrades (their springs are better than any of the aftermarket options but sadly they are completely out of stock), along with better springs came struts that were much firmer (not adjustable) than any struts that came on Z31s (if you think firm is really firm on your Electronically Adjustable Suspension get in a Shiro) and they had thicker swaybars. All for an extra 1000 bucks above a normal Turbo. Theres more, all 1000 were identical with a special lower front lip spoiler. I am leaving some things out but thats the jist of it.
Oh and 86 already listed it.

thanks guys.The reason i ask is because i might have the chance to trade my 87t straight up for an ss.but that is because the ss is recked (not as bad as it looks)and the owner wants a z that he can modify.

Sounds good. Hope you find an 88SS front lip if that is damaged too.

LOL easy is a hard word to use when getting replacement body parts for the Z31. Well I should say it isn't hard but it isn't cheap.

in that case if you can find a nice 86 fender for me Id buy it from you. it looks like the one on my Z is aftermarket crap cuz there is a hole on the bottom for some reason. I have no idea why its there. anyway. lemme know.
