you're right, it is a pretty odd color, sort of a borderline between yellow and tan.

well, i've seen a couple of decent deals on ebay the past month, and there are plenty of junkyards out here in this big state. I hope i'll get lucky.

nice job, very clean!

well, send me any extra parts you don't need! Heh, seriously, though, are there any extra parts you might want to sell?

hell, I rather put something like this in my car than that Lexus engine I was contemplating. $1500? I'd do it. I wanted to do one of those 250 kits anyway. By the way, I like your custom mounted engine-bay phone.

heh, that sounds pretty familiar. Yeah, I always liked the SC400, so when I found that I could fit an engine from one into my car, its needless to say I was interested.

hey everybody, just had some time to pop in here. I just thought it's your guys' right to know why I haven't gotten much done yet. I'm in the middle of constructing a website for my grandpa who builds custom hot rods in California, so the little spare time I have is pretty much taken up by that right now. I should have that done pretty soon, but don't get your hopes too high if you're expecting your chop this week. So, sorry for the delay, life stinks.

here's a pic of the engine I could be buying. It's a '91-95. My mom's car is like a '99 or something, I think her engine is better than the older ones, but I know that this one would fit, anyway. (sorry about the image size, it won't stay scaled down for some reason...)

You sneaky little rat!! I live in Allen, Texas. Sounds like you got a really, really freakin awesome deal. I envy you.

Ah, great list, that helps me out a bit in what to look for. pretty much the only reason I wouldn't/can't do this is my dad knows shyte about Japanese engines. On the other hand, he knows plenty about American stuff because his dad built (and still built) hot rods all his life. Not that I wouldn't mind having one of my grandpa's engines in my car, that'd be even better...thanks guys

ok, thanks, thats actually what I was just about to do.

Ok, my mom drives a Lexus SC400 with a "4.0L V8 DOHC 32V FI" engine in it, I believe. Anyway, its a great car, but it's really heavy, being a luxury car and all, but the engine's pretty powerful. So what do you guys think about dropping one of these into a 280z? I don't know a ton about the cars yet, so I don't know. Just a thought, your guys' suggestions would be helpful. P.S. if you have one of those "any car other than a Nissan sucks" mindsets, please don't pick no without giving it considerable thought. I don't kind putting a toyota engine in my Datsun, it's certainly less desacrating than putting a Chevy in!

heh there was a similar experience during our fireworks display last night. some little b*stard kept trying to run off with some mortars while I was setting up, and he knew better, considering we told him 4 times to f*ck off. He finally got a handful and lit them off out in the field, and all of a sudden we were in the middle of a warzone with these things flying everywhere! One hit this chick on the @ss, that was kind of funny, and another hit this old guy in the chest and fell in his lap. He was sitting in a lawnchair with about a dozen people all around him when it went off. He was all right though, so afterwards it was funny.

Great picture, I like it a lot. I think the mirrors look fine, personally.

yeah...not really amazing driving, just an a$$. lots of these guys where I live.

I was just gonna put 240z bumpers on my car, I like the look. completely removing the bumpers and filling in the holes is another option, but I don't think i'll be able to do that.

pretty cool, this is pretty close to the paint job I think i'd be putting on my Z.

eech...I don't see how people can put body kits like that on their car. Its so much more beautiful stock...I've only seen a couple body kits that can get away with being on a Z, and even then, i'd rather leave it stock. Oh, I just read the above posts, so before anyone gets ticked at me, i'm not trying to be negative, anything can look good, you just have to do it right, that's all. Put a 240 bumper on it, and it'd look a ton better.

Gonzo nose?

hire a hitman...give him the aforementioned adress and info of the seller. Feel avenged. Seriously, though, that sucks. I don't think i'd ever buy a kit like that from anybody but the company that makes them.

Where'd you hear it was a go? I mean, I'm pretty sure it is, but are you saying it's officially confirmed? And yes, I agree, its much more awesome than the new Camaro, that needs a little work...

Thanks for both the Astons and this Jag, Callum. I love 'em!

Only 5?! That's not heaven!! Ok, i'll give you 5 super super-cars that pop into mind. Pagani Zonda Koenigsegg CCR Ferrari F40/F50/and/or Enzo (How to pick...) Of course, in my heaven, I would pretty much own every car worth owning, so the list would be pretty freakin long...

cool, not bad! Looks about the same as the first one I ever did.

Ha! This is nuts, but awesome. Maybe I shoulda done something like this with my old Omni.
