Exhuast setup: Twice Pipes and 3into2 header.. any setbacks???
hmm Is there any way I could get the twice pipes, and then when the glass-packs go out, I could use a normal muffler, like MagnaFLow for example? I thought that maybe muffler shop could do that.... I have read however, that usually the glass-packs will last about 2 years or so, before they need to be replaced. So i figured every 2 years or so, replace them. BTW, does MSA sell 2.25" exhaust? I could only find that cheap Targa exhuast with 2.25". I would love to get the Turbo Exhuast system, but I don't see that they made it in 2.25"... only 2.5"

Exhuast setup: Twice Pipes and 3into2 header.. any setbacks???
Well, I am all ready to buy my long awaited exhuast "package" I wanted to purchase MSA 3 into 2 headers, as well as the Twice Pipes exhuast setup. However, I wanted to see if there were any drawbacks or "cons" about purchasing the twice pipes exhuast. What is so special about glass-pack mufflers, and on average how long do they keep their "tone"? MSA also never specified if the twice-pipes exhuast was 2.5" or 2.25", does anyone know off hand? Another thing .... how will may cat converter fit with this piping? Would I go w/o a cat converter? Finally.... is there any performance differences between 6 into 1 headers and 3 into 2 headers?

300zx Hatchback Or Coupe
it's all hatchback... meaning you can sit in the seats and literally turn around and reach into the trunk because it's right there... the rear window connects (hinges) from the roof down to the end of the trunk.... and the "hatch" (rear window"moves with the trunk when opened. hard to explain.... anyway you can get the regular 2 seater car.... or the 2+2 meaning it has a backseat for other passengers Other than that... 2+2's are usually heavier and are "longer" that's about it

What? does a Z31 turbo v6 bolt into a 70-78 tranny?
it was $12,000 for him to install it... his name is ZR8ED and I still give him mad props for his install but if you spend $12,000 you can do a complete RB26DETT swap

Insurance rates
best option... put the parents name on the title, mainly because insurance for teens are much more expensive.... me for example, I am 17 years old with good student discount, drivers ed course discount, and not a single ticket or crash on my record..... $163 a month through State Farm Insurance.

2.25" or 2.5"?
by means of modded engine... if I have an all stock engine... would adding on headers change anything? I was thinking of getting a set of coated MSA headers, with 2.25" exhaust. With the headers would the 2.25" be ideal, or would 2.5" be better for all around performance?

Headers, what can I get for my Automatic?
Well, I am all set to purchase a set of headers for my 280Z, however I noticed while browsing MSA, they do not have a set of headers which will fit into my car with my automatic transmission. Everything is for manual/standard trannies. Where can I get a set of coated headers for my Z with an automatic transmission?

spark plugs
I just recently replaced mine.. and I have always used NGK plugs for my Nissan Sentra, my dad's Suzuki motorcycle.... and originally on my Z.. but I went to Napa, Checkers, and Auto Zone, and non of them carry NGK's for my Z, but they carry NGK sparks? Through all the frustration, I bought some Bosch platinum plugs... they say if I am not happy with them i can get my money back

New SuperStreet Magazine... has an 240Z??
Well I was excited, yet disappointed at the same time with this car... it's an 240Z.. with an '83 ZX turbo engine swapped in it... but there is no turbo.. he just used the turbo block and put on some dual webers... Can someone please explain why someone would do this.. other than the ease and affordabilty with Carbs? Anyway.. it's a very nice car, with 7 coats of Ford Red paint... nice airdam.... nice seats and interior... check it out

Opinions on those Clear Headlight Covers... for an Z
DO you happen to have that part number? I can't seem to find it directly through the online catalog Oh yeh.. btw.... I am not really a huge fan of those sealed.. filled headlight's.... in my opinion I think they kinda take away the Z look... and plus I wouldnt want to mount HuGe foglights or driving lamps in the front of me car

Well.. today as I was driving down the road and I saw an SpecV... i noticed the rims and damn!.. sexy So i did a 40 second photoshop with MS paint... and I looked up some info.. the rims are 17X7 size... 4X114.3 lug.. but with an 40 offset I can get a quick conversion to make it fit due to the offset.. but let me know what you think... Sentra Spec V My 280Z My 280Z with Spec V rims Any opinions?

Opinions on those Clear Headlight Covers... for an Z
We all know they chrome ones are a beautiful touch.... but if you read back in the thread, they are very very hard to find now a days, and if you can find them, they will probably cost you.. unless you have a set you wanna sell me
