One of my garage roomies just finished tinted to color code Rino liner on the underside of his Shiro restoration. Think I will do this when my car gets painted this winter.

Z31 Shiro?
That looks nice!
I see Z31s as organ doners for real Z cars.
S30s...
The rear end in that is a viscous coupling R200 LSD unit with special axles. No-one wants them.
88-89 Z31 turbo automatics came with a clutch plate LSD with a 3.7 ratio.
Wakes an early Z right up!
Bolts right in, you cannot use the finned rear housing in an early Z.
Those diffs are solid gold on the Z forums.
A Shiro or an Anniversary is the only Z31 worth restoring IMO.
Shiro's had the very best seats of any previous Z car.

@technicalninja Recaro seats. 4 of 1002 are in our garage. 2 are consecutive waiting their turn, one donor, and this one inching it's way to the road again.

That's way cool!
The VG30 is good for 500hp with proper mods.
Sadly, a Shiro or Anniversary needs to stay stock for ultimate value.
I once had a nice 84 Anniversary.
It had the "body-sonic" seat vibrators in it...
Truely weird!
I let it go to another enthusiast.
Wish I had kept it now.

I did my 72 with tinted Rhino. A lot of work to prep all the surfaces. Looks
Nice and it supposed to help a little with noise. I also did my Targa top with tintable Rhino.
