About Z31Parts.com |
||
|
Hello! If you are reading this then you are probably a little bit curious as to what exactly Z31parts.com is, or how it came to be. My name is Jason Butts and I have owned, driven, repaired and modified Z31's for well over a decade. These cars are my primary passion the automotive world; although I will admit I own many other cars and share a love for just about every under-appreciated cult car. Every single product or service we offer has been tested or installed on my 1984 300ZX. I run Z31Parts as a side-project to my life, full-time job and continuing education. After design and prototyping, all Z31Parts products are put through a standard product development cycle in which they are thoroughly tested by community members, revised if needed and released when they meet or exceed all requirements. I handle all aspects of the business. I do my best to answer individual customer questions via E-mail or phone and fill orders on a regular basis. Z31Parts.com is my small business exclusively interested in providing a wide variety of specialty parts and services designed for the Z31 model (1984-1989) Nissan 300ZX. Why the Z31? Why this car? While
often entirely overlooked by auto enthusiasts, many people don't
see that the Z31 platform has great potential. Sadly, unlike
other cars, there is severely under-developed aftermarket
support. My experience is that most "car" people don't
even know what a Z31 300ZX is, and many who do just see it as a
slow and boring (read: stereotypical) 80's car. Oddly enough,
these are usually the same people whom have never even driven
a Z31 300ZX, let alone owned or modified one. "Once you
get inside a Z, a Z will get inside of you" is an old Nissan
slogan that really rings true with these cars. The platform
blends a very well-balanced chassis (50/50 weight distribution
for most models, and fully independent suspension) with a smooth,
responsive and overly stout powertrain. With many other areas
that can be vastly improved upon, they offer a very good platform
for building a budget street rocket or race car. Unfortunately,
very few aftermarket companies have embraced the Z31 300ZX to
help shed it from its highly ill-deserved "red-headed-stepchild"
persona... In early 2003, I recognized the need to develop what became my first product: a high quality, durable replacement engine mount isolator for my then 400+hp Z31 which began to tear stock units within weeks. This was the first product I ever manufactured and sold myself, and over time became a very popular item in the Z31 community. Moving to the present, all Z31Parts.com products are tested and developed on my own and various community member vehicles. Feedback can always be had by searching or asking on any of the Z31 Forums on the internet: "But don't take my word for it!"
In 2010 I completed my formal education at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, MI. My time at Ferris was very helpful in developing my design and engineering skills, as well as many other skills: 2009 - BS in Automotive Engineering Technology 2009 - AAS in Automotive Service Technology 2009 - Certificate in Quality Engineering Technology 2008 - Certificate in Performance Motorsports 2008 - Certificate in Performance Engine Machining Also in 2010, I started a new full-time job which is very demanding but also very rewarding. Z31parts has always been a side-project and Z31's have always been a passion. I don't see either going away any time soon. From now on... we'll just have to see how it goes. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Q: Do you, or
will you design and manufacture parts for any other vehicles? Q: Why is
