I bought my 720 for $1k a few months ago. It had a 3" body lift, kc's, burned oil, and had hackjob wiring everywhere.
At home...ignore the GF's miata. It is a Nissan household.
It needed tires and it barely made the 50 mile trip home. After a full tune up(cap, rotor, wires, and plugs), I still couldn't get it running worth a damn. So I had some discussions with the old gearheads I work with, who knew more about carburators than I do, they pointed me towards carb issues.
I found an 85 in a jy and snagged the carb, slapped it on ad it ran much better.
I took it down to a buddys farm, and did some work on his yota crawler in exhange for some 31x10.50r15s.
Testing out the 4x4 on his trails.
It did a surrprisingly good job on the trails, but the old z24 did not like turning the 31's on the road...it was hell as I was used to my boosted 86 z31...this truck had ZERO pep.
So....I decided to was time for a small upgrade. For weeks I debated, weber/cam, ka, vg....I just love the vg in the z31, so I thought, "what the hell".
Trans work while i had it apart
Vg33e from a 97 pathy
ECU and harness from a 91 maxima
IT IS IN!
And thats it so far. It is in, it runs, it drives, and it was a very good swap. I don't have a single complaint yet.
Any ideas on what I should do to upgrade the braking system? Now that the truck has gobbs of torque, I plan on pulling my car with it, however I wouldn't trust the brakes to stop that much weight.
