Well, maybe not, since the engine you are getting is a VG30DET. The Z31 never had a VG30DET in it. The closest thing to it was the 300ZR with a VG30DE.
So. The standard non turbo x member might do, or it might not. Same with the turbo x member. You might buy one and find it still wont fit.
You should jump onto aus300zx.com and send a pm to Aussiezedhead His real name's Barrie, and ask him what he did for a x member. If you search for posts by him you'll find pictures of his car with a VG30DET in it, but he added another turbo, so it's a DETT now.

Hmm..
How much-ish would ya be looking at? And what's still in the engine bay, if anything?
Haha I'm just .. typing my first thoughts lol. Mine needs some work before I can move onto the fun part, so buying a good condition roller and selling my bunky NA makes sence.
