have you ever noticed the car sounds better with a manual ? maybe its just me. I have the stock 4 speed if I would ever need to replace it my choice would be a 5 speed

I had those same wheels on my 260z (see photo gallery) up until yesterday. From what Im told (from original owner) mine were put on as a dealer installed item (not factory) but put on at the dealer back in like 1975 I love them but they were 14x6 so it was hard to find tires because I wanted bigger wider tires so I bought some 15' rewinds

Ok the subject is changing from my original post that was my fault. All i meant was the Z is awsome and the new Z 0-60 is 5.4 quarter mile is 14.1 and a 911 carrera 0-60 4.9 quarter mile is 13.4. So for $40.000 less its not bad.

Naviathan I disagree with your coment about the 911 but thats your opinion. The fact that a $30,000 car (the Z) is compared to the performance of a $76,000 car is pretty impressive. This is what motor trend says about the 911 in there test review Blistering acceleration Impeccable handling Unmistakable presence http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/intellichoice/369_0512_review_2006_porsche_911_carrera/index2.html

I know this is early Z stuff ,But i ve read articles on the new 350z and it is still compared to the 911

I was reading an insurance company news letter this weekend and was happy to see an article about early Z cars. It gave a little history and talked about prices etc. The coolest part about the article was how they call the Z car an inexpensive alternative to the Porsche, Jag , and the Ferarri. Guys we drive one of the badest cars ever made and that statement in the article gives a lot of credibilty to the Z to be put in the company of such exotic cars. My 3 friends that all drive porsches were kind of awe struck. It s nice to know (not that I didn't already know) that the Z is still an awsome part of the auto world that is compared to such cars as Porsche , Jag , and Ferarri

Ok, what about this?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-Datsun-280zx-engine_W0QQitemZ8077169522QQihZ019QQcategoryZ33615QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I am rebuilding this year and was wondering if i should do my L26 motor or get an L28. Looking to get more then 200hp ,suggestions?

my early 74 260z had one on it and I took it off. much better as mine had a habbit of holding the throttle open

Yes he lowered the buy it now to $600 rent must be dew

But is the body worth $800 I ve seen engines on e bay for less then $500 or a rebuild ? is it worth it

I saw this. doesn't look bad for $800 must have done an engine swap or switched to carbs http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1977-Datsun-280-Z-5-speed_W0QQitemZ4652974999QQihZ002QQcategoryZ6187QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Yes and now the society of automotive engineers (SAE) is updating the system to measure hp and so every will change

So if I took all that stuff off my car 162 would accurate? Not to change the subject but how much hp can i gain from adding a cam?

Oh I see. 162 sounds better to. I dont know what my hp is since i put the 72 carbs on and a 6-2 header.
