240Z in Sunset Orange (350Z Colour)

[Alfadog]

Just found these pics the other day - what a CLEAN 240! I'm not too fond of the colour, but I thought some would be interested. And that's not the only thing about this 240Z which is from a 350Z............

For comparison.

teehee! :tapemouth

I like the color! The rims are a little tall IMO, makes the tires look like rubberbands. But the side by side comparison shot just shows how much better looking the 240Z is over the frumpy 350Z.

I like the color. Frumpy! Great word, Vicky! I've been looking for a word to accurately describe the 350Z. I'd like to see a performance comparison test between these two. It wouldn't be any less fair than the ones I've seen in magazines so far.:classic:

It doesnt do it for me... A 240z with standard bodywork and with big mo-foing deepdish rims!. Looks odd. Colour is ok...

Yeh a comparison of the two would be good!

Yes "Frumpy", like a big fat grandma, that has a little pep, but you've seen pictures of her when she was thin, sleek and fast (240Z)

So is that the 350Z engine under the hood? i'm not so good at identifying engines by sight. Is there any write up about the conversion process (maybe over at HybridZ)?

Thanks,

Ty

At a glance, I thought it was a VG30.

[Alfadog]

That's what I think too, Stephen. VG30DETT converted to one mumma-chunk turbo? In any case, I love the fact that the bodywork is all stock (mostly). Can't say I'm a fan of the wheels but I wouldn't complain!!

datsun-sports, do you have any more pictures of this beauty??

[Zvoiture]

It is 'Lemans Sunset', and is it VGE30?
