THe answer to your question is yes... But they will be a very very tight fit, because the seats are soo wide.. and you need to modify the brackets of both seats to get them to fit. But most will say.. they are too wide to fit... only because the fit is too tight.

Well people argue that 2.5" exhuast is perfect for a Z.... but here is my conclusion about my research on Z's... For mainly stock or light modifications the 2.25" exhuast is ideal. For modified or medium modifications the 2.5" exhuast is perfect. For TURBO or highly modified Z's the 3" exhaust is even better. Here is a baseline 240Z.... Dyno chart 1971 L24 stock bottom end, approx. 150K miles E88 cylinder head, fresh valve job, shaved 0.025 inches. Otherwise stock. MSD 6AL ignition, Pertronix Ignitor, MSD 8mm wires Stock Rebuilt Distributor - stock advance curve. Stock SU carb.'s, N-27 needles This is how much more HP you get from Rebello or Nismo headers *Almost nothing but a cool sound This is for a 2.5" exhuast compared to a 3.0" exhuast and finally.... an AIR CLEANER will actually improve your peak HP!

Yeh.. i was originally going to replace my big 280Z crash bumpers.. but if you look at some of the pictures... the bumper indeed protected alot of the front end. With a smaller bumper the hood would have been damaged, as well as the hood hinges, and I guarantee the frame would have been bent, or at least the radiator support. My bumpers don't bug me... so i'll keep em on. They do work.. that's all I care about

Hey! I'm only 18 years old... 2 years is a long long time... sorta.... Yeh it was alot of dough.. but that was when I first got my license and I loved music... and they fullfilled my desire. Next mods? WHo knows... Turbo ZXT motor :devious: ? 5-speed tranny swap? Suspension? Interior? Wheels? Eh... money money money

I bought those speakers at Circuit City a long long time ago... about 2 years ago for about $400. I had em in my Nissan Sentra and swapped em over to the 280Z. The box fits perfectly and very tight... got lucky. they are 3 10" MTX subwoofers and a MTX amplifier. Inside (see my gallery) I have 4 4" Alpine speakers and a Kenwood headunit

if you want an early Z.. early 70's... you will be looking for a 240Z. The 260Z, 280Z and 280ZX are later years. If you can find one... a 1970-1973 240Z are the early classics of the Z's. The 1972's are rated the best 240Z's because of the carb's (round top) Look around the classifieds at www.zcar.com

.. old thread back Yeh the car is all fixed up now.. Here she is in ALL of her GLORY

... i can't make up my mind... Twice Pipes or Aluminized 2.5"?? Performance gains? Equall? So far Twice Pipes have gotten better results sound wise... hmmm

.. there's already a thread about the air dam But I don't like it.. too ricey

Well MSA just came out with their NEW air dam... the TYPE 3 air dam... honestly.. i'm not too impressed.. looks RICEY and looks like it's trying to be a ZX rather than a Classic Z $219!!

Well... the complete swap could range from $5,000 to $11,000 !! So.. maybe.. ask him what he would charge to swap it in... you might get lucky

$125 ! and shipping!! Whoo.. I can just one from MSA for that price...

... so back to the original question... Do I need a 3" pipe both ends right? Should the filter be a bit in front of the radiator? Should I get a longer pipe and extent it to behind the headlights?

eepp... before everyone yells at ya to search... i recommend the SEARCH button on the top of the page or go to http://hybridz.org

.. i'm in physics! But high school style.. so not that technical yet

Here's the crapper... My engine only has 110,000 miles and I do have a set of headers (not yet installed) and I want to make this Cold Air Intake. Only problem is I want a TURBO.. so it wouldnt be a good idea to put on the headers and exhuast if I will replacing it with a 3" later when I get my L28eT. But i figured until then... CAI would be ok. BTW did anyone notice a difference in the SOUND of their engine with CAI? I have seen Honda's with an ALL stock exhuast setup, and they plugged in CAI and the car sounded deeper and throatier. Do Z's do that?

My dad drives a 2002 Hyundai Sonata My mom drives a 2002 Hyundai Elantra Both excellent cars... the Sonata is sweeT! But i'm a Nissan guy (only 17 hehe)

for how much though?? it's only 22$ and shipping to my front door?! Wouldn't this be cheaper and better?

After searching the archives for my quest to make a HOMEMADE cold air intake... I concluded the following: Get a 90* Bent Mendral Bent tube with 3" inlet and 3" outlet Get a K&N Cone Filter with a 3" inlet SO I started looking around for mendral bent tubing.... yeh... really hard.. so I came across this website JCWhitney.com and I found 2 that closely matched my needs : *90 Mandel-Bent Aluminized Tubing, (A/B)=12, ©=6", ID=2-7/8" OD=3" $20.99 http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&langId=-1&productId=219788&mediaCode=ZX&appId=384383 *Swaged (Expanded) End 90 Mandel-Bent Aluminized Tubing, (A/B)=14", ©=6", ID=3", OD=3" $22.99 http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&langId=-1&productId=219803&mediaCode=ZX&appId=384177 Now my question is.... What does (expanded) mean>? The first pipe has an inlet of 2-7/8" and an outlet of 3" will this work??? or should I get the inlet and outlet of 3" like the 2nd pipe? And this filter?? http://www.jegs.com//cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=4969&prmenbr=361 Total Cost : $69.98 plus shipping so about $80.00 to the front door plus install. Or.. should I just go with MSA http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=11-2931&Category_Code=PFFC12 Total: $124.95 plus shipping so about $135.00 Hmm.. what do you guys think....
