z31's were made from 84-89 and z32's were made from 90-96 here in the US...the code symbolizes the chasis number.

Z31...
here are pictures of both...

Z32...

BTW: this is sean wagner's Z32...(i am guessing this is an older pic of his car)

no problem, you never can give enough information. i thought some of you may like those pics!!! that z31 was converted to a 200zr. i think someone posted the page (that the pic came off of) before, a while ago, but i always remembered it. i have hopes for my z31!!!

it was offered to japan only...it was a z31 (84-89 300zx) with a rb20det drivetrain from the R32(89-94?) skyline. besides the engine, it was identical to the z31 here in america...

well it was still a Z car but it only had a 2.0 Liter engine (RB20DET)in it...so they had to change it to 200Z and the R probably was just added so it sounds cooler...

EDIT: actually now that i think about it, the R probably stands for Racing or something of that nature. like in skyline GT-R...they added the R to symbolize higher performance (racing), i guess. im sure someone here has a more precise explanation for the R.

Re: Whats the difference??

^Precisely! You are really on a roll there, Jason! You've been cramming info, huh?

k3 is correct... 200ZR= 2.0 liter, 300ZX= 3.0 liter, blah-blah-blah.... Same Z31 chassis code but different names depending on engine... God, I love Nissan!
