Hi. My name is Mark i am a 17 year old kid who drives a ricced out nissan altima at the moment. (eck!) at the current moment i am stripping my car back to stock to sell so i can buy my ver own Z car. i have one prob. tho. i know hardly anything about the Z. i like the 1st body style the best, and hate carburation. so i think that leaves me with 73-78... i think. i dont know much about the differences between the 240, 260, and 280. well except for the .2 of displacement. a turbo would be sweet but i think the only years it was offered was in the bodystyle im not too thrilled about. (unless i want to go custom but that takes $$) i am pretty sure the same goes for a t-top. i live in phoenix AZ so rust is not a problem for me. i would absolutly love it if someone would tell be where to find the info on the stock zs of this time period. IE: HP, torque, 1/4 mile, 0-60, skidpad raitings...etc. thanks in advance.

maybe your best bet would be to find an early Z car which already has the Turbo engine in it...I am sure there are a few around. 240z and 260z practically look the same, main difference is that the 240z is lighter.

Engine swaps from later to earlier Zed's are easy, so you can still get the shape with the engine you want. T-tops only came on 280zx's, the shape you don't like
