damn, how much was that to ship.. wow

that's actually where I got my info.. and where I read about the 4.11 swap.

all '81-83 non-turbo ZX's have a 3.90 ... great the quest begins... this is a basic bolt up right? since it's the same engine and stuff right?

well after a quick 5 minute research.... the 3.90 would be better for an all around performance. Faster acceleration, but with an better top end... but where the hell can I get an 3.90?

so... would the 4.11 be the best choice for my automatic.. you should I go for an 390? What would be the pro's and con's about that?

Superchargers... are belt drivin turbochargers, are more expensive and are much much easier to install, and spool up faster. They can provide up to 55% increase in power. That's why those massive drag cars, that hit like 255MPH in about 4 seconds, use Superchargers... no lag. Turbochargers... are more efficient, as the exhuast gases spin the turbo to compress the air. They are cheaper, can provide 30-45% more power than your stock engine and are much more difficult to install.

actually now that I think of it... screw the Ferrari GTO kit.. I'd get an RB26DETT engine and a G-nose kit

... When I just bought my car a few weeks ago, well a month ago, I was about leave school (High School ) and some kids were like, hey how does that thing sound? I was like, I'll show ya, and I jumped in my seat and tried to start the car.... turn the key... nothing. After about 5 minutes they left and I was frantic checking all the battery terminal's, fuses, etc and I was about to kick my car. After about 15 minutes.. I looked down at the shifter.. (it's an automatic) and I didn't move it 100% into the P(ark) position, disable-ing the starter I moved it into Park completly and took off. Man I felt dumb.

I think the blue looks much better than the green

turn it into an Ferrari GTO replica and put in an RB26DETT

if the color were to go from the front end to the rear as: Yellow, to Orange, to Red, to Blue it would look sweet. I hate that pink and purple, so if you change the pink to red and purple to BLue.. hell yeh

if you are looking into blue.. have you looked at the BaySide Blue from R34 Skyline's or the Daytona from the new 350Z's?

excellent write up baddriver.... Yeh I figured if carbs provided more power, why aren't they still in production for newer cars? All viper's, corvertte's, ferrari's, lamboguini's, porche's, aston martin's, maserati's.... all the newer SuPeR cars have EFI.... and put out much much more power than any old muscle car with carbs. I feel that EFI is much more efficient and powerful, my opinion

I found an 200SX Turbo in a junkyard with an complete R200 4.11 differential. Is this an LSD differential? I decided it would be a great swap for my automatic tranny 280Z. What parts are necessary for a complete swap? I heard that for an 280Z it's a direct bolt on, but is it really? Do I have to mess with the speedometer or need any other parts other than JUST the differential? Also in this junkyard there are several 300ZX turbo's sitting out there. I have read about this swap here... but i'm not sure on the difficulty or ease of the install and things required for the swap.

.... those subs look just like mine... Even MtX Just need some sound to over-ride those massive 10's sitting in my trunk

I went to Crutchfield.com to find some aftermarket full component speakers, and I noticed that once I type in my year, make and model, they show what products my car can appropriatly take. Crutchfield says the 280Z has 5" speakers, but I swear I thought that they were 4" speakers. the original owner, (dumb arse) decided to have some shitty speaker guys drill holes the center console and mount 2 other speakers, right by the stereo faceplate to the left and to the right. i don't know how or why, but they are the same as the replaced speakers behind my head, appearing to be original size and shape. So are they 4" speakers or 5"?

what are you talking about? are you saying is the car an TRUE Japanese manufactured Fairlady Z, or what?

So in an racing situtation, which would you see the most difference?

After some research on the net.. especially from this site http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/engine.html And it mentions under Part 3 - carburation page, it is basically saying that Carbs are better than EFI? I have also read that on Zcar.com..... Why would Carbs be better or more efficient that EFI?

damn! she own's an GTiR???? you lucky basterds

yeh sorry about that... posted before I looked... the side window louvers are only for ZX's in my Victoria British catalog. my mistake

edit.. hmm dont look too bad

I like that vent looking thing on the quarter window... do they make those for Z's?

that's some freaky arse $^!#
