thanks, i guess i will be up grading when i am done with the car.

heres a questions, why would you want to upgrade the alternater?

i just bought my new truck and i was thinking of getting the k & n cold air intake kit. i have heard good and bad things about them. the questions i have is does it hurt the life of the engine? will it really improve gas milege? and are there other cold air intakes that are just as good as or better and lower priced. the main reason i am looking at k & n is due to the advertising they do.

i would do the whole thing. it would look stupid to have 350 dash and 240 console. i agree with you chickenwafer the front is different i have mixed feelings about it. i love the 240z body the only thing i am doing to mines is installing an air dam and the subtle z fenders from john washington. i was going to install the 280yz quartors from john but i didnt like what it did to the look of the 240z.

i am just wondering how hard would it be to convert a 240z dash to the 350z dash?

thanks hawkeye1017 do you have any contact info for him i would love to pick his brain.

no one said change the outside look of the 240z i love 240z shape. what i am not real crazy about is the dash and console. if you look at the 350z dash and console everything has a smooth flow. when they made the z in the 70s they were at the peak of there technology and thats what they came up with. fyi... Ghetto Blaster Boom Box was used in the 80's us youngins call it a stereo now. I have looked at many photos that people have upload in the years and there are many z's i have saw that were ugly or just not my taste, but as long as they like it thats all that matters

i have a question to you guys does your car have the origanal factory radio with the one speaker or any performance parts or even a different paint job than what it originally came with? if you answer yes than your a hypocrit. i am rebuilding my car for me not for a bunch of people that are afraid of change. i realize that changing the dash and console might be really tough, but lets at least find out from the guy who did do it how much time and money did it cost him and would he ever do it again.

i really am interested in the dash and console. i wonder what would have to be done to fit that in my 240z?

i was looking at some of the photo of the latest car show and i noticed this cars dash and console. here are the photos of the car. z.bmp z2.bmp

thanks for all the advice everyone

i am rebuilding a 73' 240z and i have some questions. starting with the engine first. I dont plan on racing the car just street driving. So what should i change to increase horsepower. the next is suspension. what should i change to give it a smoother ride and increase preformance.
