As a Z owner myself I can tell you like all sports cars of that era with a turbo 300zx, Skyline, RX7, one of their biggest problems was cooling down the cast iron engine.. he should have vented the hood to the max and installed a large oil cooler and triple row radiator before ever atempting to push those rpms..
That's why he blew his engine. It's the same in the anime, in the games and in the manga. Haruda just knows how to stack on power but forgets about the vital things, coolant. That's why despite pushing his Z31 beyond what was safe for a VG30 which is about 450, his car was pushing 550hp with about 1.8bar as stated in the manga but due to him pushing it to the ragged edge every time he overtakes the Blackbird and such, it could not keep the speed long enough before the heat catches up. That's why Hiramoto is the better tuner who could use less to do more. Keep in mind that his GTR only has about 600hp and he's able to keep up with them and even outpace both the Blackbird and Devil Z if he just din't let go and retire.
the rpms werent the problem.. it was the massive boost.. still the fact that he got to over 500hp with little money and managed to run at 300kmh is quite a feat itself
On the manga, Haruda becomes a real rival further in the story. He rebuild the engine with forged parts and lots of mods, ECU mapping, twin turbo setup and such. Z31 were really nice cars for Wangan, RX-7 FC and Skyline R31 couldn't catch them. But they glory days died when the R32, RX-7 FD and Supra JZA80 arrived.
@@AnthroGearhead The anime/manga is set in 1998/1999, but what If we have a time jump in 2005 Harada (now at his mid 20's) finds a wrecked 350Z, in a junkyard and takes the VQ35 with the transmission and a few parts, to swap it into his Z31 It could be turned into a baby Devil Z, considering the potential of the VQ engines.

This is exactly what I did to my Z31. A wise man once told me "They all die the same. You think you've got it tuned perfectly, she's running better than she ever has, then all the sudden at the peak of your excitement *BOOM POP* done..."
This is why I don't install aftermarket Turbo Kits or Superchargers to my cars. I get the most out of them N/A and that way they continue to run perfectly and stay reliable.
@@hangemhighhilton Did you at least upgrade the cooling system tho? Can't lie, I probably would have done the same with a factory turbo car. What boost were you running?
I mean this seems to be the reason both Mazda and Toyota haven’t gone down the path of downsizing the engine and using a turbo like everyone else. It might be a better balance between fuel economy and power, but forcing air into an engine has to have more reliability issues than an engine breathing naturally. The new civics aren’t old enough for reliability issues to show, but I bet they will have shorter life spans than the 2000s era civics.
Was wondering why Haruda's car looked so familiar and sleepy...then I realized we have a Z31 living in the garage XD Courtesy of my father (the mechanic)...
Started to replay gt4 and bought a z31 and instantly thought of haruda and his z31, Great edit of harudas story, really wish he was more involved in the story, such a cool car. Feel like haruda, the triple rotor fc and the gtr guy that brakes his gearbox mount are the only real challangers to blackbird and the devil z
Thanks man, I agree with you on all points. Although Haruda was pushing his Z31 harder than the others. It didn't have the same level of potential but he forced it to go fast anyway lol
that fc is a 20b? if i rmb correctly its jus a 13bt with some bigger turbo and tunning... fc supra r33 and the evo they both can fight devil z and black bird.... and also there is a demo car which i believe can outrun all of them since that r33 has around 800hp all of them has lower output evo450 devilz600 blackbird700 fc idk supra 600

VG cranks generally don't hold out after about 6-700HP, they snap. That's why you'll see a lot of the higher horsepower applications running billet crankshafts. Now you can get serious power out of a VG, but the bottleneck is the crank. Kinda similar to how Ford 302 blocks crack down the center after about 500HP or 4AG's grenade (usually by sending a connecting rod through the block) after about 250HP.
There was a race car called Nissan GTP-ZX which ran at IMSA races during the 1980s. That car had a pretty nice VG30ET boosted to some 650/700 hp and 70 kgf/m of torque. So, that engine was pretty much solid enough for that output. But the performance for ET versions was very limited to that factor, sicne they weren't resistant enough to survive long running. In fact, I'd be more worried with overheating than metal wearing. With a forged crankshaft, the rest is pretty much up to your taste. Things got way better in the DETT versions, with the Fairlady Z32, the same car Jun Auto barely modified to clock 400 kph at Bonneville Salt Flats. But the magic of these "miladies" (Z31 and Z32) are on the body. They are just too perfect for grand touring at highways. The Porsches and "grannies" 240/280-Z have no aerodynamic control at the rear. The car reacts like a flying wing at high speeds and you can only mantain speed enough if you're going fully straight. Once you get a long curve, you're doomed if you don't have a big airfoil on the rear. The "boxy" design of Z31 and Z32 help in keeping downforce at rear and perforating the air smoothly at the front. Something not seriously considered by the author of the manga/anime. In the performance-investment, the miladies Z31 and Z32 are better than anything else. Not even the Supra and NSX come close to that. Maybe a NSX with lots of money invested. But then MR layout is another league and we're talking about a specific model designed to beat very refined european MR exotics. In the cheap FR league, Z31 and Z32 still top of the line.
Yeah, they are sick! Check out this guys channel; the guy probably has the nicest Z31 build on the planet. th-cam.com/channels/9aHaXFAtuKKo91fhesQi7A.html
at 1:47 you can see the original and actual colour of Haruda's 300ZX is red. And Akio's old 300ZX was/is also red... Wich means Haruda's Z could very likely be Akio's old Z
The Devil Z is also a single cam 12V..and it revs up to 9000 with what i presume some massive boost.. I think his Z31 most likelly has an intercooler.. its quite easy and cheap to fit
Haruda is such a fearless young kid, he thinks he's hot shit and then he kills his engine. Still though, love his car. If you can afford to get a new engine every month it can be a working strategy :D
He's got right stuff just his personality makes him take the faster ruite into getting deep instead of slow tuning that explores all avenues under all conditions
Dak Leonardo yes, but the kinda knowledge he learned will make him a better engine tuner, even with egine swaps, it will help him get attuned and push it to the max too
Blazebeat Racing I can see that, he’s got qualities of both. I want the three of them hanging out together and just fanboy over who’s idol is better. 🤣
I think it's set in the 90's, when 5-speeds were the best you could reasonably get. their ratios were prolly set for close-to-optimum use of the powerband since either big or twin turbos were the go-to choices for power. there's also the big prob of aero drag at 255+kph, especially when the longest stretch is above the bay
he was tunning cheap.. still respect what he managed even if it ended in a burn engine.. for a time he managed to take on even the BlackBird.. The series is about proper tunning.. this shows why.. adding just boost and a bigger intercooler/inyector and remaping isnt gonna make miracles.. the gearbox..suspension and geometries..cooling.. even the oil system need to be done...
@@sparrowlt Apparently the real blackbird was actually a Porsche shell that was totally gutted and used a custom space-frame for rigidity and weight loss, it also had over $100k spend on upgrades alone
Its funmy looking at the engine bay shot. Some parts are almost perfectly done, like the sprak plug wires and the little metal strap that holds the fan shroud. And other parts are a lil goofy, like the weird wide pipe on the roght of the motor and the 2 hoses exiting the right valve cover.
I’ve actually heard some pretty impressive things about VG30s. Not sure about the Z31 version, but if youtube is to be believed, some drag racers are making 1000 (american dyno) whp on stock bottom end Z32s.
Thanks for sharing this little tidbit Francisco, for all we know that's probably how he blew it in the anime if they had only shown it! It's too bad Haruda and his Z were only a side-story because I thought it was cooler than a typical GT-R tuner.
Dak Leonardo I agree, I'd drive one of those or a 180sx over a gtr, and a little fact, in the manga and in wangan midnight maximum tune his name is Harada
I'd take a 180sx for sure man. And yeah someone else was mentioning his name is Harada too. I haven't read the manga, but it's weird they would change his name in the anime.
So those trucks are doing 260 kmh ? ( 161 miles an hour ) . This is set in 1990 I belive . For perspective , the Lamborghini Jalpa went out of production in 1988 , which had a top speed of 249 kmh . Thats like if a modern 18 wheeler was outpacing a Huracan ( Based on both of these cars being the entry level lamborghini of the time )
Depends If you just want the looks then it isn't that bad, as the guy above me said the car is around 8-10k in decent condition If you want all the upgrades, you're definitely wanting to spend a little over 20K in reinforcing the entire engine to withstand boost without falling apart, specially cooling since the VG is cast iron
@Bronyfur05 the biggest fault with the z31 is the cooling. The factory motor can take alot boost before it starts getting upset, but cooling it is the issue. The rad is at a extreme angle and doesn't get much air flow, and the bay just heat soaks. Most failures on the z31 turbo is headgasket, as most guys just don't care enough to beef up the cooling
The Superglorious never give in more so when others say it's useless, you'll learn so much more about all the different settings and characters that a car can have if you do I correct. There's no one dogma.
shame they just kind of killed the story of the Z31 out of nowhere, it would be a cool if they took it further, VGs are a right units for big power, forged it could make some stupid power
I never understood the inclusion of a Z31 in the Wangan Midnight anime or Manga that car isn't a highway car. It's home are tight mountain roads. It was a missed opportunity to not have it feature in Initial D. Especially since it would actually make sense there. And it could be a 200ZS/ZG/ZR rather than a lazy 300ZX. It's a car that eats mountain roads and adores it. So for it to be in Wangan makes little sense. Same as the 350 didn't really make sense in Initial D. The 350 would be far more suited to Wangan. If it existed in that time period.
@@WanganTunedKeiCar a Z31 is heavy? In what world? The Z32 yeah, it's heavier, but a Z31 isn't that heavy. In the 3.0 V6 300ZX configuration I'd say that it is more of a Grand Tourer because the transmission paired with it, it's got longer gears than the standard 2.0, 200Z/ZG/ZR. The gearing in the 200 was much more Touge/Rally like. In the 2+2 seat variant the extra 8 inches helped the chassis sit better in corners and cured the twitchiness the regular 2 seat variant had in hard cornering. Also if we're talking heavy cars that performed well on Touge, R32/33/34 were all heavier than the Z31, the Celica GT was also heavier, Supra was slightly heavier.
@@Dominik189 I'm not saying it can't work on the touge, but what you're saying, that the Z31 isn't suited for the Shuto, is wrong. If that was the case, the S30Z would be an absolute garbage choice, lightweight and aero-less as it is. With a car like that, you'd be hard-pressed not to--I don't know...--lose traction and *freaking die*
They are cool cars for sure! You can always put a dry NOS kit in instead of turbo and it'll give you 50+hp for cheap. It won't hurt the engine either if you do it right. I might eventually put a 70 shot in my S130 for spirited driving.
That's awesome! Nothing wrong with a stock Z. My 280ZX was my daily for the first year I owned it, I had built a track-ready '76 Austin Mini for my Summer ride, but I ended up liking the 280 way more, sold the Mini, and got another fun car for my winter ride. I regret using the 280 for that winter though, but it was very fun drifting on the snow haha. Even pulled some 80km/h drifts! My advice to you is to get another car for winter (if you get snow).
Well I live in the south part of the US so there really isn't a say if I get snow or not. Sometimes it does and other times it doesn't. Either way I don't think my mother would let me drive in the snow so that shouldn't be a worry for me. Just gotta store her properly.

Haruda is such a fearless young kid, he thinks he's hot shit and then he kills his engine.
Still though, love his car. If you can afford to get a new engine every month it can be a working strategy :D
Or he could just do a 2JZ swap haha
He's got right stuff just his personality makes him take the faster ruite into getting deep instead of slow tuning that explores all avenues under all conditions
Dak Leonardo yeah heb could :D
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought engine swapping wasn't really a thing back then.
idk but it would be easy compared to all the work he's done to his Z31 already haha
Dak Leonardo yes, but the kinda knowledge he learned will make him a better engine tuner, even with egine swaps, it will help him get attuned and push it to the max too

He’s like a cooler version of Itsuki. 😭
He reminds me of Kenta. Same demeanor, basically the same voice, and he even wears orange! lol

@@verifeli I want Haruda to be the main character since he's pretty much Baby Akio
@@blitzy3244 You are right even haruda wears a red jacket just like Akio.
With that much of power and torque, all you need is a new gearbox with longer final drive... but Wangan logic, I get it. *facepalm*
Fact
I think it's set in the 90's, when 5-speeds were the best you could reasonably get. their ratios were prolly set for close-to-optimum use of the powerband since either big or twin turbos were the go-to choices for power. there's also the big prob of aero drag at 255+kph, especially when the longest stretch is above the bay
he was tunning cheap.. still respect what he managed even if it ended in a burn engine.. for a time he managed to take on even the BlackBird..
The series is about proper tunning.. this shows why.. adding just boost and a bigger intercooler/inyector and remaping isnt gonna make miracles.. the gearbox..suspension and geometries..cooling.. even the oil system need to be done...
@@sparrowlt Apparently the real blackbird was actually a Porsche shell that was totally gutted and used a custom space-frame for rigidity and weight loss, it also had over $100k spend on upgrades alone
@@taterater1052 he got that car to 500hp I think it blew on the wangan
1:33 the sound of that GTR tho
Its funmy looking at the engine bay shot. Some parts are almost perfectly done, like the sprak plug wires and the little metal strap that holds the fan shroud.
And other parts are a lil goofy, like the weird wide pipe on the roght of the motor and the 2 hoses exiting the right valve cover.
I’ve actually heard some pretty impressive things about VG30s. Not sure about the Z31 version, but if youtube is to be believed, some drag racers are making 1000 (american dyno) whp on stock bottom end Z32s.
That doesn't surprise me for the Z32's, but Z31's on the other hand...
@@BlazebeatRacing Well, stock bottom can handle 750whp and this is documented (vg30et)
This is cool as heck man
In the manga Harada blew his engine while racing Blackbird and Reina
Thanks for sharing this little tidbit Francisco, for all we know that's probably how he blew it in the anime if they had only shown it! It's too bad Haruda and his Z were only a side-story because I thought it was cooler than a typical GT-R tuner.
Z31s are indeed cool cars than a GTR
Dak Leonardo I agree, I'd drive one of those or a 180sx over a gtr, and a little fact, in the manga and in wangan midnight maximum tune his name is Harada
I'd take a 180sx for sure man. And yeah someone else was mentioning his name is Harada too. I haven't read the manga, but it's weird they would change his name in the anime.
This happened also in Maximum Tune 5.
ok the blackbird is crusing around 260 kmh then the Z31 came catching up then the truck in front of the blackbird is how fast?
Look for the z31 has come full force in this video thank you so much for posting it

Weird tho didn't some z31s have the inline 6? Instead of the vg engine if im not mistaken?
It was this anime that made me realize Japan was the only country where the Z31 and Z32 didn't come standard with a VG30
@2:00 wait, isn't low air:fuel mixture going to cool the engine instead of causing overheat?
No.

So those trucks are doing 260 kmh ? ( 161 miles an hour ) . This is set in 1990 I belive . For perspective , the Lamborghini Jalpa went out of production in 1988 , which had a top speed of 249 kmh . Thats like if a modern 18 wheeler was outpacing a Huracan
( Based on both of these cars being the entry level lamborghini of the time )
1:15 haruda should get a PFC F-CON, GCC, VPC and FCD
it looks so awesome.. how much would it cost to make the same car?
Not much. If you keep a eye out for a unmolested one you can get a very straight turbo manual for less than 8k
Depends
If you just want the looks then it isn't that bad, as the guy above me said the car is around 8-10k in decent condition
If you want all the upgrades, you're definitely wanting to spend a little over 20K in reinforcing the entire engine to withstand boost without falling apart, specially cooling since the VG is cast iron
@Bronyfur05 the biggest fault with the z31 is the cooling. The factory motor can take alot boost before it starts getting upset, but cooling it is the issue. The rad is at a extreme angle and doesn't get much air flow, and the bay just heat soaks. Most failures on the z31 turbo is headgasket, as most guys just don't care enough to beef up the cooling
LMAO
Haruda is the next Kitami Jun
The Superglorious never give in more so when others say it's useless, you'll learn so much more about all the different settings and characters that a car can have if you do I correct. There's no one dogma.
what is the song from 4:51
Like Hell from Wangan Midnight Soundtrack
shame they just kind of killed the story of the Z31 out of nowhere, it would be a cool if they took it further, VGs are a right units for big power, forged it could make some stupid power
Good looking car, bad owner. My words for this Z31 and Haruda
Agreed. Real tuners don't take shortcuts. I still like Haruda as a character they should have shown more of.

I never understood the inclusion of a Z31 in the Wangan Midnight anime or Manga that car isn't a highway car. It's home are tight mountain roads. It was a missed opportunity to not have it feature in Initial D. Especially since it would actually make sense there. And it could be a 200ZS/ZG/ZR rather than a lazy 300ZX. It's a car that eats mountain roads and adores it. So for it to be in Wangan makes little sense. Same as the 350 didn't really make sense in Initial D. The 350 would be far more suited to Wangan. If it existed in that time period.
I am under the impression that the Z31 is more of a grand touring machine than a touge carver. It's quite a heavy car. It makes sense imo
@@WanganTunedKeiCar a Z31 is heavy? In what world? The Z32 yeah, it's heavier, but a Z31 isn't that heavy. In the 3.0 V6 300ZX configuration I'd say that it is more of a Grand Tourer because the transmission paired with it, it's got longer gears than the standard 2.0, 200Z/ZG/ZR. The gearing in the 200 was much more Touge/Rally like. In the 2+2 seat variant the extra 8 inches helped the chassis sit better in corners and cured the twitchiness the regular 2 seat variant had in hard cornering.
Also if we're talking heavy cars that performed well on Touge, R32/33/34 were all heavier than the Z31, the Celica GT was also heavier, Supra was slightly heavier.
@@Dominik189 I'm not saying it can't work on the touge, but what you're saying, that the Z31 isn't suited for the Shuto, is wrong. If that was the case, the S30Z would be an absolute garbage choice, lightweight and aero-less as it is. With a car like that, you'd be hard-pressed not to--I don't know...--lose traction and *freaking die*
@@WanganTunedKeiCar which coincidentally happens in Wangan... Several times...
Because the real deal Mid Night uses any car no exception even R33 gets used
Its the wangan 86! Paintjob and all!
trainz 4460 productions That color scheme isn't unique to the 86, a lot of cars in the 80's did two tone black and white.

I wanted to see this z31 against the blue Evo
Blown Z31 engine
*GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD*
What was that little box and the button he pressed. I want one for my Z just for fun not actually gonna plug it in.
It was an analog boost controller I believe. They were common in the 80's, rare sight nowadays.
Makes me happy that I have a Z31!!~~ Non turbo though :(
They are cool cars for sure! You can always put a dry NOS kit in instead of turbo and it'll give you 50+hp for cheap. It won't hurt the engine either if you do it right. I might eventually put a 70 shot in my S130 for spirited driving.
Awh I love S130's. I don't know anything about tuning so I was actually just gonna leave it stock. She's gonna be my daily.
That's awesome! Nothing wrong with a stock Z. My 280ZX was my daily for the first year I owned it, I had built a track-ready '76 Austin Mini for my Summer ride, but I ended up liking the 280 way more, sold the Mini, and got another fun car for my winter ride. I regret using the 280 for that winter though, but it was very fun drifting on the snow haha. Even pulled some 80km/h drifts! My advice to you is to get another car for winter (if you get snow).
Well I live in the south part of the US so there really isn't a say if I get snow or not. Sometimes it does and other times it doesn't. Either way I don't think my mother would let me drive in the snow so that shouldn't be a worry for me. Just gotta store her properly.
Can someone tell me the song that played when the Z31 passed the Porsche?
