clarification of rizzspeed's comment
regarding https://www.zdriver.com/forums/showt...&threadid=7525

The correct answer to Datsunguy's question would have been what ZXBoy said...
"1st gen had v-6's also, just sohc instead of dohc"
Z31's had the VG30E or VG30ET, both SOHC V-6 engines, which produced 160/200hp respectively. (165/205hp for 88-89 models)

Are you talking about a JDM Z31? That may be a possibility, but was never the case in the states. All US spec Z31's had VG30 blocks. You may have seen a Z31 engine swap or a JDM import. Please show any proof you have of a factory inline 6.

I don't have any proof besides my word. I saw one in '94 when I was looking for a newer car. It was an ugly, light blue '84 Datsun 300zx with an inline 6. The owner was a real piece of work, so needless to say I didn't buy it. If it was a JDM import, I didn't know about it, and I'm sure the owner had no clue either. The car was in Fremont, CA. The only reason I remember it was because I though all of the Z31's had V6's. I was shocked when I popped open the hood and saw that IL 6 sittin' in there.

thanks for the correction. I obviously was typing to fast and left that part out.
But you are correct, both generations have V6's.
I'll go back and correct my post.
I'll even give you credit for the correction.

I believe that you saw what you did. I had an 87 and an 84 parts car, so I'm speaking from experience as well. The chance of an imported Z31 in CA is better than most places. I was going off of your "Some, if not all of the '84 Z31's had inline 6's" comment.
My main point was about rizzspeed's thought that all Z31's had inline-6 engines. I read his post a few times to be sure I didn't misunderstand, if I have somewhere, I apologize. I don't want to give the impression i'm flaming anyone, just a simple correction.
Gotta run back to the photo lab, I'm developing some nice B&W photos of my Z32

Well, when I think about it, I have only seen under the hoss of 1 '84 Z. So, to me, all of them had it. My statement was true, but only in my world. What EMO stated makes much more sense. The guy selling it was a complete twit. I don't know how common it was to import JDM Spec cars back then.
