Graduation Project

Unfortunatley in the state of Pennsylvania in order to recieve your diploma you must complete a graduation project which has to be a research intensive essay that must be 5 pages. Well i was brainstorming ideas and it popped into my head that there are 5 generations of Z cars if you lump the 240 260 and 280 Z together and then have the 280zx 300zx (z31) 300Z (z32) 350Z (Z33). Be really easy to create a 5 page essay with 5 seperate topics that are related to one another. What im lookin for is some information pages about the Z's ive looked through Riz's links pages and got all the Specs i could ever want. Im lookin more for like design notes and reviews like magazines. I know there was a comparison of a 300zx TT and a corvette that i saw on here a while back but i have no clue where it is now. But if anyone could provide me with some informative links it would be very helpful.

Thnx

5 pages of an essay? that's all? psh, here in california, we have to do a senior project, except our papers have to be 7~8 pages and all of this other criteria. Do you have to do a physical project in addition to the paper?

For your info, there is a good book out there, it's called "Datsun 240Z & 260Z Gold Portfolio" It covers years 1970-1978, and it covers the 240Z and 260Z mostly, but has some information on the 280. It is all magazine articles and comparisons, such as comparing the 240Z to a lotus elise, camaro, fiat, etc. Its a pretty informational book, and you can get it at Borders, I believe.

If you haven't already, Google search "nissan z history". There's way more than 5 pages worth of info.

imho, very good subject for a senior project. Share it with us when you're done.
