This z31 has been in my family since new.  My younger sister owned it first.  She bought it  in Florida and kept it all these years even though she stopped driving it back in 1997.  The car accumulated mostly highway miles on her weekly commutes between the west coast and east coast of Florida.  She did a good job of keeping the oil changed.  After seeing the car sit in her driveway for years, I asked her if I could "refresh" it, and she gave the car to me.  This car has a single turbo, not a twin turbo like the z32.

This car has the infamous digital dash option.  A lot of the digital readouts were not working when I first got the car.  The dealer wanted >$600 for a new power supply box.  Instead, I found a kid who was an electronics student at the local community college.  He resoldered the circuit board and the dash has worked perfectly since.   Final price, 40 bucks. 

I decided to have fun with this Z, since my other 300ZX is all about performance, and has basically double the horsepower of this Z. 

I redid the interior trim myself in red leopard fleece and it looks great.  I intentionally use cup holders and the "Johnny Bravo" magnet on the dash to complete the effect.  I get a lot more compliments on the interior of this car than I do my other Z, because of the gadgets, digital displays, and the kitch interior.  This Z is also more comfortable on the highway than my twin turbo.  But performance-wise there in no contest.  The z32 > z31.
