Talking New Z31 Owner

Hey people!!!! I just bought my first Z31 - red '88 coupe. I pick it up next week. I have an '83 2+2 280ZX and found the information shared in that forum to be life saving at the least. i'm looking forward to learning all I can on the Z31 platform as well. So be patient with me as I go through the learning curve.

You will probably like it. They are nice but need some suspension mods if you like to corner hard. The springs weren't too good and wear out. If you just like driving around then enjoy.
