I own a 240z and a 280z, and i would have to call a 350Z a Z. Of course they are no where near the same, but they both give you that rush of excitement when you drive it. I kind of look at at as a different flavor candy. It's like the 240Z and the 350Z are two different flavors but they are both delicious. Sure you can say the 350Z is sedan based but wasn't the 240Z sedan based also.(correct me if i am wrong.) I mean i am not going to buy a 350Z anytime soon but i still respect it as a Z. Moreover I am just glad there is a Z out there. The G35 is not a Z, but it is probably still fun to drive and if you need a backseat there it is. I'm glad they made the Infinity G35 seperate, cause I sure don't think it should be a 350Z 2+2.

I found a simalar post on another thread, and again have already ansewered my questions. I am checking out that website now on that extreme 280zx turbo page. thanx

I was about to drool, but you have convinced me to take the turbo route for my project. So now I will be looking for an L28T, Thanx for all your advice! PS (this may sound like a dumb question) Can you use carboration and turbo at the same time, ir must you use EFI? Or maybe is it way easier to use EFI?

I wanted to stick to my L24. I've been getting the impression that the L28 is the way to go. The 3.1 conversion definitely makes me think. I want to run triple webers and have a great street/race car. I am probably going to do the 3.1L bore and stroke, what do you guys recomend? I also want 300+ horses. What do you guys traditionally do to acomplish the triple weber L28 performance setup?

If the car wants to be a Z they should have called it the 350z 2+2, and branded it nissan. OH..... but how much more prestigous to say(for them) I have a INFINITY G35 than Nissan 350Z 2+2. I've always had trouble accepting the 2+2 Z anyway but the only reason I did accept it was because it had the Z name, and It only had minor visual differences. I guess the g35 kinda crossed that little thin line. I don't want to call the Infiniti a skyline either after all a skyline is a NISSAN and it's much faster.

I forgot to mention that you do not see much of the car.

Zvoiture i am sorry for makeing comments about your Z31. I always make fun of them. Well tonight i just got to drive a 85 300ZX turbo. My friend picked up a really well runing one today, his first Z for $1200(I call it a Z now.) It seems mechanically soud, good exterior, but the interior is not in that great of shape. The car was plenty fast and very fun to drive. It is different than the early Z's by a long shot,but not bad at all. I think it kinda felt like a 280ZX with rabies!

Is one of the guys(with the yellow car) in the movie have a skyline? http://www.drunkstunts.com/videos/canonballrun_200.wmv

I think you'll like them 205/60R14 cause they will look close to stock, and i think that is what u want. My 215/60R14 look pretty wide from behind the car, i don't know if you will like that. My 280z has 215/60 R14 and they don't look as wide as on my 240z, they kinda look stock.

what is it with me and blue Zs? I've always thought a nice set of slotted mags look good on silver Zs!

Or maybe a little bit milder

I like these alot

I have always liked the look of wider tires and I am biased towards them. However that is probably the method I'll use on the 240z But on my 280z which i plan to keep looking the way it is..(at least when it comes to tire size)(not the stock p185s either, the P215's siut me as a wide tire fanatic) I probably am going to put my either my slotted mags on there or look for some other mags. I know what they look like but I don't know what they are called. Anyway for the stock wheel well look I definitely prefer a lots of vintage mags over the panasports. I'm after rereading my message i don't think i've helped much OH NO! what am I gonna do when I am looking for wheels for my 280 :surprised

I never really likes panasports until i saw how good they look with the ZG flares. Or really unit I saw thi pic.

The previous owner of my car installed them to replace the troublesome 73 SUs. If i would of made the decision to replace the SUs i woulda put triple webers. If your gonna modify your car you want 40mm or 45mm carbs. check out zcarperformance.com MSA and i'm sure there is more Z vendors out there that sell 'em> I know I want to add these carbs and thats cause my DGV's don't even cause any trouble.

I didn't pay for them!LOLROFL heck i love that 240z you posted!! When i get panasports, a paint job, and ZG flares like that i'll probably put the slotted mags on my 280z. By the way were those MSA ZG flares i can't get over that blue Z.

I just went to the web site and i really don't have a good shot of the mags if you want i'll try to post a good close up pic later of all four if you wish, but they are all in very similar condition.

Doesn't MSA have center caps with the Z logo in both screw in and snap on. They don't even cost that much, if i remember correctly. I think they are for the slotted mags. I remeber i called once and all they needed to know was the diameter of the hole for the ceter cap.

I have some slotted mags on my parts car. They are in pretty good shape all they need is the snap on caps in the middle. you can see them at http://www.geocities.com/fstr240z/homepage.html just look at the parts car. I got that 280z from a kid didn't know what the car was. He saw my 240z stopped me and told me he had to pay some tickets and said he would sell me the car for $1000. The clutch wasn't working so he thought it had transmisson problems. i bled the clutch and presto. I was looking for another Z so i could begin my resto of my 240. I gave him the money 2 days later after i saw it.

Isn't that a big block chevy 572 cu. in? Does a big block chevy fit into the Z? I was under the impression only small blocks did. still in shock:surprised :surprised 720 HP yikes!

these are the american racing rims i know they come in all chrome also. ( i just got this car for a grand! hardly any rust! yeeaah.)

here is a shot of my 240z slotted mags. ( i just went through some water though.) they are 14x6 with 215/60 r14 tires and a shot of my 280z with american raceing rims and same size tires.
