So the journey begins in the summer of 2013 when i purchased my very first car!!! I had been working all summer to buy a car and wanted to buy a 240sx or a miata, but my dad showed me a z31. i had never even seen a z31 but when i saw it i fell in love. i bought a 1986 300zx NA with 136,000 miles for $1200

Super excited after buying the Z!!

I knew the first thing that i had to do was get rid of that oxidized hood. Made my car look like crap.

Started sanding it down, primed it, and then rattle canned it BLACK!!

The next thing that i did was buy some new wheels. I knew that i wanted to go lower and i thought why not go with 18's. The car looked like a monster truck so i also decided that i would lower it on the cheaps.
Picked up these wheels for 200$ (later sold them for 200$)

I finally was able to pass the shoe test

Right about then is when I decided to go to my first car meet. me and my dad were to go to Cars and Coffee in Carlsbad. We never made it. About 3 mins away we lost the clutch petal. it would just go straight to the floor even when being pumped, so we had to call for a toe and the meet ended before we could go.

When we got home and did some research, we found out that it could either be the master or slave clutch cylinder. i waited for about a week until i was able to get the parts and then i installed them with the help of my dad. sorry no pics of that.

Decided that i would work on the interior while it was running better and god an ebay "DRIFT" steering wheel and some Cipher Auto bucket seats.
