Or no Z at all!

Good catch, Larry. No one ever talks about the ZX Type-3 so I forgot about it; when roro4g63 posted that picture, I didn't even question it and the OP didn't say anything either. It's a downward spiral until you step in!

I have a theory about this. I don't think it's folks being jerks most of the time. Instead, I think there are one of two things going on: 1. Your faster speed, whether you're passing or catching up to them, is a conscious or unconscious reminder to them that they are going too slow. 2. There is a bond of sorts that is created when you get close to them. Passing fast and suddenly breaks the bond or reaching an absurd speed too fast to maintain the bond (ie they become aware how fast they're going) breaks the bond. I find myself doing this sometimes and proactively have to cancel or defeat it so I only go the same speed I was already going. However, most of the time I don't allow myself to be the slow, passive vehicle on the road; instead, I'm proactive, but not necessarily FAST, just faster.

My biased and well-enough educated decision is it just doesn't make sense. It would be too much work and it would start costing you some bucks.

Cool! I'm gonna make six of those and stick them in my Z and have an equivalent 1:1 SBC. That'll work, right?

Those Type III's always look like they're angled wrong - seems like they point up. I mostly like them but they come down about an inch too far and they seem to tilt.

Correct!

Nice. I wonder how long it took BMW to get theirs up after seeing that and how much it cost to grab that billboard.

I can like them; I've owned a beautiful '86 and a decent looking '87 Turbo and still think about getting back into them. Now, I'm just posting them up to tempt BRAAP into making a cool Z31 because there are so few good examples of their potential.

Mine says no more often than 2 hours. My wife has trouble with it getting in her throat but I do not.

I actually am a bit of Thread Policeman, hence my title - "Terminator." However, it was not my intention to rip into you. I was just making sure we were on the same page. Drax just supplied you with a fantastic thread which, if you (and many before you) had looked around a bit, you would have found and this thread wouldn't exist.

I'm sure it is, but the angle and quality of that shot makes it difficult to see the lip.

yep....

So is neti potting, I'm finding.

There are no "kits" any more. The closest you'll find to a kit is buying someone else's system they put together with various parts, or finding a relatively complete 280ZX Turbo and transplanting everything to your Z. And with that I suggest you do a lot of reading of other threads and searching because this thread should not (and will not) become a place for you to do Q/A for every bit and piece - a bit of de facto and a bit of de jure.

I never do. Depending on the vehicle I'm in/on (car, motorcycle) I'll approach it differently. Usually I'll just slowly slow down by not completely letting off the gas. My favorite thing is to press the brake until the brake light comes on and mash the gas - I usually do this on my motorcycle; brake light comes on and I'm gone in a flash, leaving the tailgater saying WTF and left all alone.

I suggest using it at least twice in a 2-3 hour period to see the best results. Neti potting isn't a miracle worker, but it can clear stuff out pretty well. The nasal passages will take awhile to open up more but at least the crap is out. Note: you can use it wrong and cause some weird issues, which could be why you have water in your ear.

I think it comes down about 2" too low but it's definitely coming together. It's kinda like one of Bob Ross' paintings where he starts out with some beautifully scenery and RUINS it by putting in more happy trees... a few strokes later you say "Bob, you genius!" That cycle repeats several more times through one painting. Wow us with final execution.

DLC has done something very similar. Check out his site - http://www.supratrucks.com/300ZX.htm

Z31 EDIT: ...and just so the first thing that comes to mind isn't a ragged out Z31 owned by a 17 year old, here's a decent example.

I wouldn't say "in 300ZX." Wow!

Seems to me this thread has been adequately hijacked. Probably time to return it to its owner.

You're obviously welcome to get help here, but I would check out a site like http://www.z31performance.com for your Z31 specific questions. I know they cover this specific swap in a FAQ or something similar.

Right now, my goal is 400WHP with a fairly early-spooling turbo - probably a T61 - and stock USDM cams; if the funds permit, I may choose something like the GT35R. I want to avoid nitrous and methanol injection. Hopefully, with what I have in mind I'll be able to hit full boost somewhere around 3200RPM.

I vote 3.15 R200.... oh wait, I have one! Reading this thread makes me feel a little better about getting read to run it with my project.
