Nissan Z31 Rear End Removal: The start of many fixes

Описание: In this video, I remove the rear end from my 1984 Nissan 300ZX (Z31) as part of the ongoing build. This is a full, real-world walkthrough of the process — no shortcuts, no fluff — just how the job actually gets done.

I cover the steps involved in dropping the differential and rear suspension components, what tools are required, and some of the challenges you’ll run into on a 40-year-old chassis. This teardown is in preparation for upgrades and improvements to handle LS (LM7) power and future drivetrain changes.

If you’re working on a Z31, planning a rear diff upgrade, or building an older chassis for modern power, this video should give you a solid reference and realistic expectations.
