  1. this gnose will live on now that it's here in the US and will be reproduced soon, no matter who does it. have some faith it will get handled and not just dropped like a hot potato.

    This front end will be a welcome adition to the ZX comunity no mater who produces it, I know that some ZX Owners might fell neglected by the aftermarket due to the popularaty of all other models but those who do have ZX's are as I am, Stuck like glue due to the fact that they do grow on you! So to who ever end's up making this front end please make us proud by making one booty-full:icon10: front .

  2. There's very little you can do to squeeze much more power out of the stock NA engine. Best thing you could do for yourself I think would be to install a EDIS ignition system and install megasquirt EFI. This system could be transfered to almost any engine you decide to go with, so it's not a redundant modification.

     

    Right now your engine will probably put around 100-110hp to the wheels, being optimistic... The most you could really do on a budget would be exhaust, throttle body, cam, maybe some mild port matching of the head/intake/exhaust. These modifications wouldn't get you over 150 wheel HP, if even 130hp if you're lucky. The real power increases come from porting the head, installing a wild cam, and having an intake that can breathe at the RPM that cam lives at, and if you've got EFI then good control of the fuel will be required as well. Of course if you're going through all that work most bump the compression a little.

     

    On the other hand, if you just do as I suggest, install modern EFI like megasquirt and a good ignition system like EDIS you'd see a noticable power gain in ALL RPM and any future mods could be fully taken advantage of.

    Wow thanks for the info I never knew that about the (Megasqrt) thanks to cool!!

  4. look for the blue ZX

    why would I pay for the g-nose when I can get this(in the 1st attachment) for half the price? your g-nose looks nothing like the second attachment wich is the real thing. it looks more rounded than yours and thats what the people want the g-nose for. Now if you can round your g-nose more than we can talk some worth while business. I know 4 people so far that want the rounder one and will pay good $ for it

    Nahh I'll wait for the Arita Speed Clone and at the end you'll end up paying the same price if not more with importing from Europe or Japan if you can translate the japanese text so no thanks, Plus the European G-Nose looks butt ugly when instaled and the Bomex clone literaly lost its flares after the cloning, I've seen the real bomex front for the S130 It looks a lot better than the copy:icon45:

  5. Never knew they were "rare"...I've got an 82, my brother has a JDM 79 rhd with an SR20DET swapped in his. Here's a lousy pic of mine, daily driver...

    Hey your car looks almost like Mine except MY Z is a T-Top, As for the slick top there is an older guy here in Vegas who has one it's an 83 and weirder thing is that HE IS THE ORIGINAL OWNER!!!!! kinda spooky not many OG owner for a Z that old,
