BurnoutZ

Kind of off subject but, there is a guy close by my house that has three 81 zxt's the bodys arent in very good shape but the engines look good. He claims 2 280zx's can be built from these 3 as far as the body goes. He was trying to sell all three for 1,000$. For those looking for turbo parts this is a cush deal. the only reason i didnt buy them is i dont want three junks sitting in the yard.

So clean. What a great adition to f and f 4...

*Bump* Anyone know anything about this?

No im speaking about on msa. You can buy either springs for a 9/74-78 280z or springs for a 70-8/74 240z. I have a 8/74 260z. Its has a full 280z r200 rear end in it recently installed. What combination of struts and springs should i purchase? I have figured that because of the extra weight that i should buy both 280z struts and springs. Will this fit? Also, what is the difference between the arizona z car springs and struts vs the, say, springs and struts msa sells. Tokico illumina and eibach springs vs an arizona z car set up. Which provides better handling? Differences? Similarities?

I know i am reviving an old thread but i have a question on this subject. I have a 260z, early 74, I am planning on putting a turbo engine in it and i have already installed an r200 rear diff. Should i get 280z struts and coils because of the added weight? Or should i get 240z struts and 280z coils? Ideas? Im looking for the best decision concerning optimum handling.

Most likely japanese though because aren't datsun's japenese made... and monza... :wink:comeon that just sounds japanese. Haha.

Also its probably a japanese car because the steering wheel is on the right side.

So is this project going to be attempted or has it died?

Hahha i never payed that close attention. They only film them shifting and not downshifting. So it seems they have more gears than they really have. Ha ill be thinking about that when i wartch the 4th one lol.

So this project is still in progress?

^same here. If im interested in the movie, ill watch it. Fast and the furious isnt too bad of a movie for an action movie. People into more of a dramatic movie probably wouldnt perfer this movie. Everyone has different "taste" in movie genres. And the 16 gears? I didnt understand this one

That will prob have to depend on the ferrari you race. You have a power to weight advantage even tho some might have a v12. But if your going with one of the lighter bigger engined ones.... hahhha gl. Did they tell you it was gonna be a RACE scene or did they just say it was a scene? mmhmm

Maybe it will be a role similar in the 1st movie where the supra pulls up next to the ferrari. A "sorta" main role like that. The ferrari was probably owned by the driver.

You probably should at least watch the first one, the new one is suppose to tie directly into the first one, charactors and plot. I dont think 2 and 3 are gonna be related to the 4th.

So you really did get in? Wow. Your car is gonna be famous after this. The s30's will probably be recognized more too.

Drift craze? sorta i guess. I would call it JDM craze. But fast and the furious has some fault in it... but not all.

Alright ill be looking forward to some pics.

The grated shifter should at least be given a chance...

I think it would be a good think to have s30's get alot more recognition. But as mopar was saying, it is gonna get more expensive. The s30's are already hard to find, with a new flair in popularity it could make them impossible to find, like a nissan skyline.

Woah! are you serious? Man, i hope he gets in on this.

I like the idea also and would be interested in it if it was to be made.

They're making a new fast and the furious and they're looking for cars to be in the movie. Seems like a quick way for someones car to get famous...

To me it looks like a "smoothed" version of the msa 3. I wonder how it would look installed....

How much did it cost to have it made? Whats its efficiency?
