I'm proof positive that you can do a 4 wheel lock with a stock Z31 MC.

Posting stupid useless mods is the sign of someone who hasn't actually DRIVEN a Z31.

i tried it in my 88 at 65mph, it was close, but no locking up of the front wheels, that was with new pads rotors and tires..

100%, I've owned both, and if the track is fairly straight then the 300 NA is going to preform FAR better.

If the car has the 6 1/2 rims I also suggest running a set of Yokohama ES100 225/50's for rubber. By far the best tires I have EVER used with my '87 300.
