great as in easy to set up?

no idea? have you contacted the NZ Z Club: http://zclub.org.nz/

225hp for the latter model 300 NA

how much are you looking to spend?

are you sure they weigh less? it's a pretty big engine, you won't have much room left in the engine bay, also how much is the engine going to cost you?

what diameter was your fan?

I second that but maybe towards the luxury arm as well, like Lexus.

hey I answered honestly and got 6%, when you live in a homophobic country of beer drinking rugby players this sort of thing gets drilled into you

6%

unless you fit an intercooler then the T3 should go uo to 15psi

There might be something on the international section here: http://www.hella.co.nz/

I didn't mean cheap but bottom end, ECU, exhaust and intercooler + plumbing won't take much out of the $8000USD budget

the world is a big place and if someone can build a buisness out of making... those, then there will be some tastless person who will buy it

it's a few gold trinklets off a pimp car

there is no way you can handle 800hp in a 240Z for the road or even on the track. to put that in prospective a Ferrari F50 has a 5.4kg per KW ratio, with 800hp you would have 1.76kg per kw. I would aim for the 400hp max range even that is way too scary. you seem to be after easy hp no matter how it comes, doing up a N/A car to this level will be undriveable on the road (i.e. no hp below 4000, reving up to 8400) - great for the track though, I would suggest an L28 turbo, it is almost a direct bolt in engine conversion, take the bottom end to be rebuilt and balanced by someone who knows what they are doing (it won't cost that much) you could have you head done as well if you like (small hp gains). buy a bigger turbo like a Garret T04 or even a T03 (or have the existing turbo rebuilt), buy an intercooler - needed if you are going to wind the boost above 7psi (which if you will need to do to get it in the 300's / 400's) take it to an exhaust shop or something and have them do the pluming for the intercooler and the exhaust at the same time (won't cost that much). The T03 will take up to 15psi, the T04 will take more but the L28 block might not - I would suggest taking it to a performance shop to tweak the boost as you can easily screw things up, you could even get a adjustable boost gauge if you like, saves petrol when you don't need all that hp. then have the ECU upgraded (once again it doesn't cost that much) then boom shanka your in the 300 - 400hp range more than enough hp to pull 11 - 12 sec 1/4 miles which is kick arse!

just appending some more links to Doehring's list http://www.flex.net/~mgwilson/ http://www.bobsclassics.com/62f.htm http://www.flex.net/~mgwilson/Ferrari/ http://www.motorcities.com/contents_replica.html http://www.priceofhistoys.com/showroom/gto/ http://www.classicrevival.com.au/ http://www.zcarkitscom/ http://www.vongenaddidesign.com/

would this 240z be used for racing, daily driver, etc

RB - Engine series name (no idea what it stands for?) 20 / 25 / 26 / 30 = liters (2.0 / 2.5 / 2.6 / 3.0 ) D = DOCH E = EFI injection T = single turbo TT = twin turbo generally used in Nissan skylines

Depends on how well done the kit is: http://www.kitcars.com/Classifieds/AdDetails.asp?classified_id=1272

yes 150hp "gross" but as of todays standards ("net" if you like) it's around 137hp

I agree, you don't get born an expert, it takes a fair few years to establish some standards. Parental Guidance is at fault!

i did and I replayed the intro 10 times, Never got the urge to actually rent out the movie though. that looked like a Z kit as the fron't windscreen was on too much of an angle

250 SWB, have never seen one of those, or were you thinking of making your own kit? 250 SWB's are by far the best Ferrari ever!

havn't seen any 275 kits (based on a z or not) the only other old Ferrari kit I have seen is a 250 california (still not based on a z though) http://www.calspyder.com/ The 250 GTO kit isn't that hard to do (it has fared-in lights too), I don't see any more similarites in a 275 than a 250 to help in construction.
