Z31 Write Ups

Below is a list of write-ups created by The Z Garage. Many of these write-ups are gathered from multiple sources in hopes of creating one all encompassing, master write-up (check the article for other relevant links). XenonZCar.com has many good write-ups as well which I recommend checking out.
Common Issues and Fixes
Just like any other car, the Z31 has its fair share of various issues, however since it is 30+ years old, many of those issues have simple fixes

CHTS Info/Relocation
The CHTS is an important sensor for Z31's. It measures the temperature of the engine block and allows for proper air/fuel mixtures on startup and while running. 

Fuel Pump Upgrade
Wiring, warnings, and possible upgrade options when considering chasing after more power and upgrading your fuel pump to get you there.


Megasquirt
The Megasquirt ecu replaces the factory computer. Depending on the kit you get, you can also make your own harness to get rid of the 30+ year old wiring and update your engine to run via speed density, as well as coil on plugs for better ignition control and intensity.

Manual Transmission Swap
All of the information on manual transmission swapping your Z31, a list of needed parts, and links to products used in our manual transmission swap.

Pathfinder Transmission Swap
Of all the transmissions to put in a Z, the 30a is the most coveted, but for me it was hard to find a good Z31 or Z32 transmission. So I opted to take the road less traveled and bought a Pathfinder 30a. Here is was I had to do to make it work, and how I felt about it in the end.

NA2T Swap and Turbo info
This article is still under construction but has links and relevant information
A complete guide from multiple sources on what is needed to convert your naturally aspirated Z to a turbocharged Z along with common mods and upgrades to get the most out of your swap.
