Who's Z is this?
 
I have watched this so many times because, well to be honest, this is one of the most kick ass cars I have seen. Do any of you know this person or know if there are any more vids of this car...or longer vids I should say? This car is one of the reasons I wanted a Z.

I guess it all went down hill in 1984... :(

icice9 07-11-2006 03:20 PM

i dont know if you guys heard but Nissan is having talks with GM cuz Nissan wants to buy majority shares in GM.. so i guess if they do end up buying GM that the chevy engine swap wont be so sacraligious after all...

Bleach 07-11-2006 03:26 PM

the Z has always been a six cylinder car though. Turbo or NA.

I think they should build a new generation RB or something of that sort. Inline six, DOHC, 3.7, Twin turbo :D

agree but single turbo since its an inline and some sort of variably valve timing for even more air flow. and already built internals properly balanced and weighted so it can rev high and handle a decent amount of power without haveing to tear it down. nothing super crazy, just highrevving stock capable of handling close 700hp as reliably as possible at that power

I'm 100% patriotic, but I think it's hilarious that GM & Ford are suffering so much right now.

jfairladyz 07-11-2006 08:55 PM

nissan will never go back to the inline 6. Those days are long gone. There are just so many more benefits to the V-layout in comparison to the L (and not all are related to the engine itself). The RB is officially played out in Nissan's book. Its all about the VQ now. Even Super GT made the switch to the VQ and that was back when the R34 was still sporting the RB new :rolleyes:

And yeah, I think GM made more 'Z' models then Nissan/Datsun did ;)
