'91 Infiniti M30

So…my new spring/summer/fall DD for rainy days (tires that are on the Z wheels suck in rain) is a '91 Infiniti M30. Its a florida car with ZERO rust anywhere, and the only body flaws are 2 small dings you can’t even notice unless you’re looking for them. The floors and frame are clean enough to eat off of!

So basically, its a typical M30 in pearl white, VG30E automatic as they all are (may swap it to a 5spd), with 160k on it…it needs rack bushings (i have them) and a couple of the injectors are stuck open (have new injectors also)

Overall its a pretty nice car, adjustable suspension seems to work and its pretty clean.

Also has an Alpine headunit and speakers, but whatever about that. lol

SO, my first thing (distracting me from the Zs…) will be the rack bushings, injectors, and cleaning it up.

You don’t see those cars too often. I had to look up other pics to get a good idea, but that’s actually a pretty nice lookin vehicle for a 91 IMO.

Looks like a nice little project.

Perfect DD. Nice pick up :tup:

my dad had one of these, except his was all pearl white not the two tone, and no woodgrain. was a pretty nice car for what it was, although the transmission would have problems. his went twice. first time he lost reverse, pretty much lost everything the second time. only had 120k when he got rid of it.

Yeah, the old (early 90s and older) Nissan RWD Automatics weren’t the greatest, turbo Z31s shred them to pieces. lol I’m probably going to swap a 5 speed into this car, all the Z31 parts work just need a custom driveshaft.

very cool cars… there is A LOT of parts sharing to be had with S13/S14/Z32 which is very important.

Gusy swap coilovers, brakes, and other suspension bits onto these to make them super awesome… 5 spd swap is a must.

VG30DE is meh, but good enough for a DD.

You can have a lot of fun with this if you do the research. I am certain there are build threads on zilvia with these cars.

Its VG30E, not DE. Parts sharing is S13/S14/S130/Z31/Z32/R31…lol

I’m going to guess you could turbo this with Z31 parts for under $1000 ?

10

You’d need to fab a drivers-side manifold or relocation pipe because of the motor mount design interfering with the turbo, but yeah…

Obscure car built on a popular and familiar platform is helpful!

These cars (F31 chassis, Infiniti M30/Nissan Leopard) literally share the same exact platform as the R31 Skyline. A R31 front crossmember can be bolted right in, as can an S13 crossmember…giving many easy options for engine swaps. lol
