im 18 and i love going fast but i have a stock na and its not fast enough. i was thinking of an engine swap but it seems to pricey for me right now and i love the noise that a bov makes when your shifting on a turbo car. SO i guess i want to know whats the benefits on fixing up the na and is ther another way to gain more horses besides nos maybe like a supercharger or somthing else that brings more horses to the car without nos. i would love to do a tt engine swap but it looked real expensive on z1 does it really come up close to 6000 for a swap?

 

if U want power Save up and Do a TT I'm in that progress my self. U want Drifto get a Silvia. and if Uwant cheap performance upgrades it's not quite gonna feed your needs, if U notice all those little upgrades add up when U can be doinga TT swap. teh choiceis yours.

 

This may be of some help if your planning on sticking w/ your NA. Click this Link

 

Swap to a TT....give up the dreams of getting sideways.....buy a beater 240sx for that. Just my $.99

 

you could always sell your car and buy a TT.
you won't go thru the headache of a swap that way.

 

not neseseraly. it's just a littel harder becasue of the fact that the car is a bit Heavier. but it's actualy a better drift car. Longer wheel base than 240. widetrack body as well. so if U wanna get sidewayz and Be fast a gutted TTZ with weight reduction shoul dfill your needs quite nicely. U can go Fast Sideways the best of both worlds!

 

um...no... Z is a heavy bitch...get a 240 if you wanna go sideways. + don't silvias have better weight distribution??

 

well their shorter wheel base helps them break out better/easier then a Z, not to mention Z's have factory LSDs which would help for autocross, but would make drifting more difficult. I'd stick w/ a 240sx if I were you, of course, thats not to say that a Z can't be drifted, anything can be drifted w/ enough practice/skill.

Edit: But then again, with enough RWHP, I guess a Z would probably be an awesome drifter, probably on the same level as an S15 or a Skyline, or Supra, which are all killer drifters.

 

you guys are all missing the point he made. all your info is useless.

he just wants a car that goes...

PHSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WOOOOOOOOOSH PAAAAAAAAAAA BRFFFFSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSH PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT:and in the end i love the car for what it is. not what it could be.

 

well if that's the case, then you'd be better off selling your Z and buying something that comes turboed stock.

 

i <3 threads like this

 

get a tooorboed civic

 

yeah Silvias and 300's have diferent wheel base. silvias are longer but Thiner thus makign it good fro drifting, but a slightly shorter HEavier Wider car is better for Swinging it's *** arround. thus comign to a conclution. LSD's are better for drifting. both wheels spining are hella better than Just one. if U got a better weight distributed car it;s better. Silvia's have the motor on front and Gas tank in middle with a big trunk on back woth no weight. Z's in the other hand have the motor further back into the middle of the car and the tank is in the middle. the back wheels are closer to the middle so the hatch is pretty decently weighted. so if most of the weight is in the middle what do U think it's easier to drift? somethign with most of teh weight in the middle, or somethign with most of weight in the front?

I've Drifted S13's, S14's, Older supras an 88 to eb exact, a Z32 and a Z31 and so far mY Z32 takes the cake. well atleast for my Style that is. so for me A TT Z would be heaven I would get the best of both worlds. Slifing Sidewayz and Going liek super fast.

 

ive accidentally found out how easy a tt z can be to drift. id love to have the rest of those cars you guys are takling about. i probably will get a 240 as well right now my escort zx2 is my beater, but i put a kit and everything on that and need to start a new project goin. ive also looked into skylines with body damage. bondo is god! got off point there. zs are great drifters, not to knock the other big dogs tho.

 

300zx's r slow

 

Haell yeah they are, especially compared to cars with ls1's & ls6's.

 

lol, no, they are just sloh, trust me on this one...you must trust me..

 

trust me.......... I trust you.............

op ed: at the rate new car tech is moving along, most guys in their Z's will be getting smoked by stock civics, focii & neons. At least we have cooler looking carz.

 

off topic, but, did you hear about the 05 civic Si's? They come stock w/ 200hp, disc brakes on all four corners and center exit exhaust. Oh and a cf hood and spoiler. They're coming pre-riced out for all the [ricers]..

 

ive seen it at the honda dealer while making a delivery. ITS RICERLICIOUS!!!!!!!

 

Kenz, if your right and performance isn't the issue, then I suggest he gets a tape recording of the PHSSSSSSSSSS WOOOOOOOOOOOOSH PAAAAAAAAAAA
BRFFFFFFFSHSHSHSHSH
PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSS
and install a amp with some big speakers and be happier than a pig knee deep in mud.
Think of the money he'd save. Plus he wouldn't be ruining a good car.
