[@ricardodiaz4088]

So relaxing. Thanks for this content. 😌

[@FatalRPM]

No problem! I’m gonna try from now on to match the vibe I was in when filming. 😌

[@BanyanBirb]

I love z31's and z31 content

[@Dizzykitty817]

I can't wait to get a real job so I can start building my Z31. Love the video

[@FatalRPM]

I was doing DoorDash when I first started this. It’s just the only thing I spent my money on lol

What piston tool did you use? I’m doing my first rebuild

[@FatalRPM]

It's just a ring compressor off of amazon. You can buy them at the auto parts store too.

[@colmadohernandez000]

Where did you get those pistons

[@FatalRPM]

I got them from Concept Z Performance. Unfortunately they were special order so they took a few months to actually come in.

[@kylepederson2410]

How long did it take you to finish the full rebuild. My engine just blew up

[@FatalRPM]

A little over a year. This was due to my schedule mainly. If you have more free time it should only take a couple months depending on machine shop turn arounds near you.

[@calebdewer1015]

Where you get those bolt and studs for the camshaft tray?

[@Stevexnycautomotive]

That is a bad ass engine 😂

[@plarmbuss6898]

how much did you spend at the machine shop? Im looking into doing a vg30e rebuild too

[@FatalRPM]

I wanna say everything came out to $1200. There was a bit of extra work done like rebalancing so it did cost a bit more. I will say my options are supremely limited, so if you have options then you’ll probably have better pricing.

[@precise4163]

Did you happen to use the same piston rods from your old engine or did you purchase new rods?

[@FatalRPM]

Z32 rods, I go over all the parts for the engine in this video here; WE GOT THE ENIGNE BACK! - An Update For Miso, My Z31 300ZX Rebuild kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIuYh4yZrKyXnsk

@@FatalRPM Awesome thank you!

[@FatalRPM]

No problem! Thanks for watching and I appreciate your interaction.

[@precise4163]

@@FatalRPM Just saw your video I had some questions I didn't hear you mention if you could please answer for me: 1) What size Wiseco piston are you using 87 or 88mm? 2) Are you still using the z31 or did you also upgrade to a z32 crankshaft? Thank you! sorry for the amount of questions I am in the process of a rebuild and want to see what options I have.

[@FatalRPM]

@precise4163 I’m using 87.5 since I’ve had my block bored out since it was out of round a bit. Also I’m using the stock crank since I didn’t see a major advantage upgrading it since I’m staying under 700hp (forums say that I can handle over 700) and my clutch is already sorted. Granted, I wouldn’t have the issues I do with the harmonic balancer had I upgraded.
