man....all the things i could do with $95,000...mmmmmmm

nitrous is something you could get away with on a newer engine...but i wouldnt recommend it on an old 280z. plus im totally against nitrous, and really dont like forced induction either. a V8 would certainly to the trick :classic:

i honk at Z's but never a ZX....its aint a Z, its a ZX (no offense to any ZX owners in here ) . however...i had a guy in a 350z roll down his window at the stoplight and started talking to me bout my Z. theres gonna be 2 kinds of drivers for the new 350z....those that buy it as a "classic reborn" and are an avid Z fan....or the pricks who buy its because its fast, you can already tell just by looks of the car.

you put a 4-cylinder engine in your Z **GASP** :stupid: :dead: :mad: and every other face i could possibly make. you poor Z...its been demoted and embarassed. :disappoin

one more of the speaker behind passenger seat

heres another shot from the hatch....

i built one of them boxes that DOHC was talking about...ive got two 6x9's in that. i also put two more 6x9's in their own individual boxes behind the seats....take a lookeey

the only way you would notice a performance increase with triple carbs would be if you had and performance cam. the triple carbs only provide more fuel....not power. So when ur runnin the stock SU's (very good carbs btw, unless uve got the "flattops") and ur up in the high RPM's with some performance mods on the engine...the engine needs more fuel and the SU's cant do that but the triples can provide it....thereby allowin the engine to do what it needs. for performance wise theres so much you can do. Electronic ignition is probably the first thing you would want to do...improves your mileage, idle, and requires less work. A performance cam would help, bigger air horns on the SU's, and E31 head, L28 valves, a nice 2 1/4 exhaust, some headers, theres almost an endless list of things. All depends on your budget and waht u want. all for now...

i saw 2 on the road today...i think the thing looks pretty good. sounds sweet too!

that doesnt look like a zcar....

who cares...ITS A HONDA! :stupid:

more wreckage...

yeah...ok...like everyone else street racing is probably the dumbest thing ull do, but im sure EVERY Z owner has engaged at least once. Also, dont stoop down to some ricer in a honda...save it for the punks in their mustangs . In any case...being 17 i know the urge and gave in one to many times, the pics speak for themeselves. You try flippin' ur car at 80mph and crawling out the window turning around and seeing ur baby all mangled and beat....not the mention the aftermath. Partaking in a speed contest is a misdemeanor u know? Yeah...well...the legal system will rip u open and let u bleed slowly. Just look....think...and please dont race....(on the street anyway) anything can happen esp if the other guy is a dumbass and cuts u off! Them Z's dont stop to well unless uve done the 4-piston calipers. K well...look at my baby below...

:sick:

rims are far to large...but nice paint!

might have a bad head gasket or bad valve seals

yeah...ummm...i dont think you have to worry about any Z going for more than 10,000....and thats like fullly restored series I cars. Unless your talking about buyin a 350z .... in that case GET OUT!

simply put I-HATE-HONDAS and those who are stupid enough to spend 6 times the value of theyre POS to make it look and sound waaaaaaay worse than before

have u tried bleeding the master cylinder yet...that too could be a source of your troubles

just take a look at my old baby...think twice before you race again. Your car may look like this and u wont be as lucky as i was. At 17 i didnt need to flip a car...man i wasnt even racing...but $h!+ happens and u can prevent it. Take a look on my post in the CAMPFIRE STORIES section...entitle "a horrible weekend...." That twisted hunk of yellow WAS a Z...now its a little cube somewhere in the crusher

sorry to hear about that...just remember, it could have been worse. Remember what happened to my Z? At least urs has a hope for repair. In any case...good luck with the whole thing.

yeah ive seen it....AMAZING PIECE OF MACHINERY!!! so damn small for an 8...but the 350z has more HP with a V6 than that W8...but its still amazing. Anyone interesting do to VW's site...they got some awesome animations and such...http://www.vw.com

you can easily match your friends 300zx with the proper mods to you car...the diesel crank "stroker kit" just isnt worth the amount of time and effort. Stick with and L28 with flat-top pistons and maybe a higher compression head (i.e. E31, E88). Stick a nice cam on it...tripple delorttos/webbers/mikunis, whichever you prefer, a nice 2 1/2" exhaust with headers, EI,....i mean, theres just so many things you can do, its all up to what you decide. But like most other ppl here....i feel that the stroker motor is a waste of time and money.

yes i wave and give em a thumbs up...except to zx's. I find that most ZX owners have no love for the car...i.e...its all beat up and mechanically unsound. Theres only 1 240 around town here. In fact, a few weeks ago when i was going to the gas station...they guy saw me and followed my there. We talked for quite a bit bout the Z's, it was great! Most 300zx (90-96) owners have some sort of broomstick up their arse or something.
