Thanks, 280Zone. I am in Tucson. I have not done anything to the car, beside drove it a few times before I got "busy" with my STI, and work. I am going to find the service manual, and "study". Hope I can figure the problem out.

I never work on a car before, and got myself a 280Z few months ago hoping to learn how to work/fix car. The Z was driving fine for awhile. Now, the car is hard to start(takes 3 or more time to start the engine). After the engine starts, it will die again soon. Where should I start checking? The fuel pump? Fuel pump relay? What tools do I need? Any good website, or books I can learn more about car stuff? Thanks.

This looks interesting. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/15/gm-announces-clean-diesel-v8-for-pickups-and-the-hummer-h2/ Quote: The new oil burner is expected to produce at least 310 horsepower and 520 ft-lbs. of torque. It features dual-overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, a variable-vane turbocharger and aluminum cylinder heads with integrated manifolding that helps keep the overall package small enough to fit in the same space as the automaker's small-block gas V8s.

Found a few pictures of V8 350Z

There is a 350Z drift car with the V8 from Titan. It was on G4 TV the other day.

damn...too bad i am broke. if i win the lotter tomorrow, i will call you right away.

I want the blue one...

The way I feel about price and value is always if you thik it's worht the price, than who care about what other people thing. It's just me, and probably I don't have a lot of money in the bank now....

I am guess 13B can handle/make more power than the renisis engine. JIC magic has a 500+HP RX8, but it uses the 13B engine. I have not seen any RX8 with Renisis engine make more than 350HP yet.

Hope you are selling after april, after I get my bonus, gift from my boss, and the raise. I wanted to build a SR/RB or LS powerd Z for so long. For a newbie like me(never work on a car before except oil change and replace the door handle), it probably eaiser to "mod" instead of build.

Any idea how much you will be asking?

LS1240Z, Love your cars, and your garage/shop. Wish I have a garage like yours.

You mean drive-by-wire, right? I know LS* Z is fast(I really want one), but don't think it can fly yet.

Not feeling the wing and wheels. Otherwise, it's very cool car.

Why not SR20DET? It's a lot lighter than RB or V8. It's shorter, so the weight is shifted toward the center of the car more. It can make decent power(300~400HP), and it revs quite happy. Oh, and the parts are easier to find than the RB
