buy ac casket first.....remember the hindenburg......BOOM....seriously---very costly conversion???? benefits??????.

My vote goes to joke seeing as how this was just brought up yesterday in a thread started by a new member as one of the many topics that could be found via the search feature.
That aside, the Z needs no conversion. The engine is just that damn good so go nuts. In fact I read somewhere it'll run on chocolate syrup if you cut it with 10 parts water. Fill'er up and stick it to teh man.

I doubt Zs can run directly on Hydrogen safely
when hydrogen burns you get water, and very small amounts of other combonations of nitrogen,oxygen, hydrogen. Todays cars aren't ment to deal with that (think catalytic converter). Also Hydrogen storage is inherently dangerous (compressing a gas that very easily ignites then subjecting it to road hazards is borderline insane) I am not saying that if you hook up lines of H2 into your intake your car will not start or run but, it wont run well. Sure the Z can auto detect knocking and try to adjust timing to compensate but I don't think it can advance or retard the timing enough to deal with hydrogen gas. also, the air fuel mixture through acceleration is a problem cuase you would have to increase the pressure or volume of hydrogen that is "injected" into the manifold in comensurate volume to the air that is needed. when you decelerate this system would cause explosive backfires. You would have to rework the engine completely, would probably have to run a type of air compressor to premix the hydrogen and directly inject that mixture into the manifold, get rid of your catylictic converter, put in a new computer/fuel managment system, write the software you would need to run it. develope a safe high volume hydrogen storage/refilling system to replace your gas tank and then you would probably get about 60% of the power you would get from gasoline cause you cant turbocharge Hydrogen powered cars (at least not that i have ever heard of)
Your response would've been more warranted in the infamous "hydro-power" thread... I'm pretty sure this thread is a joke and no one reading it actually thinks hydrogen is a worthy replacement for gasoline.
