Here is a post a couple of posts down from this one.. It is rick bowers and his 3.0 ltr stroker turbo http://hybridz.org/nuke/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=34708 I know Zgad used to have a 3.1 stroker turbo, as well as 240Z turbo with his stroker twin turbo.. I am sure there are others.

I just got back from the body shops.. I talked to her insurance and she admitted guilt. So her insurance company called me and said that I have to bring them 2 estimates and they will pay for a rental car when it is in the body shop. The body shops have to fax me the estimates cause they cannot locate the parts on hand. I found out that a new door from nissan is a grand!!!.. But I bet I will have to get a used one..

my rocker panel is bashed from previous owner.. so that needs to be replaced as well. He ran over someting on the interstate and it flipped up and put a huge gash in the rocker..

It was a ford crown vic.

Here are some pics.. * warning* not for the feint at heart

It never fails.. I was pulling out of my parking space from work.. already pulled out..about to put it in first and start my way home.. but NOOOOOOO this stupid )#*#$(&@#@ person decided to start backing out and I didt have time to go forward or reverse just sit there with my horn blaring and watch her HURT MY Z!!. BAAAAM right in the passenger side door. I let the horn go for another 20 secs after she hit me. I got out.. and luckily I am in IT so I went inside and grabbed the digi cam to take pics. It was on private property so the cops are doing anything. she gave me her insurance and she said I am sorry like 20 times. I told her that it is my baby and she hurt her. So off to go get estimates during my lunch hour tomarrow and see what can be done. It is right in the middle of the door and it will not even open now. so I think the door is toast.It almost peirced the metal.. I will get pics up soon.Just soo pissed right now..

NICE VID LEN!! Thanks..

Looking great Scottie.

LEN!! that is awsome man.. Is that the fastest time with a T3 in a Z with out nitrious? I cannot wait to see the vid from that. Was your cousin there with his turbo Z? Wow. talk about giving hope to guys like me still running the T3. I bet the people at the track just could not believe what they were seeing..LOL

I agree. that was a great write up. And you know you can count me in for the next SEZS. And congrats on the attention Scottie.. It was a great last who RAH for your GNZ..

Looking awsome man.. I am digging the flat black! Very nice engine bay..Looks mean..

And it even looks better in person.. Now. Jon.. if thats not a motivator.. I dont know what is.. Get this thing back on the road!!

What is a Z3 turbo?

That sure stinks scotty. I was hoping to hear good news.good luck with repairs.

oh yes I think scotty has a couple of things to tell us.. DONT YOU SCOTTY!!!.. Have you done any more tuning man? been back to the track? Getting any leads on a LSD? Welcome back to HybridZ.

RICK!!!.. that is looking HOT man . I bet you cannot wait till it is all tuned and broke in so you can stomp on the loud pedel eh? If you could.. get some nice vid too eh? how much boost are you going to be running on this set up?

Charles.. Man you have really dropped the times.. I think you have taken that old 305 to the limits.. that is just awsome. I bet you cannot wait for the 355 and SDS..

Yeah thoes are pretty cool.. BUT OMG.. check out the engine bay.. Talk about almost impossable to work on.. Good deall..... Or was it?? ...LOL.. Joking..

Thats awsome man. so you have pics of the whole meet? I would like to see them. sounds like it was a great time..

Yes they are but I would not be too concerned as I have yet to see a decent running one expect for that hideous lime green one. I believe if you target 250 at the wheels in your 240Z you have nothing to worry about. As for the weight of the 240SX' date=' that was an option for me and the lightest model I found in my research was 2695 for the early notchback model. 2500 does not sound right for a 240SX. Most of the late model SXs with SRs are right at 3000lbs with driver and with 240+hp, you have them covered.[/quote'] Scottie. you saw this 2500 lb 240SX at reynolds.(2650 with driver.. chris is a little dude..lol) he drove up with me from mobile. It was the red one running low 13's ( traction limited). I saw him get on the scales at reynolds. He does not have AC. But other then that it is a stock body. I am not saying that the SR motor will dominate over the L series but I agree if you have a 240Z with around 250rear wheel hp you will beat a rather stock SR. but if you run into one with cams and upgraded header with a larger turbo ect. ect. they can really be a serious runner. I think so far the most HP on a stock bottom ended SR is 540 some odd rear wheel hp. that is with nice cams and alot of other bolt on mods but the bottem end is stock. Not to mention the 9500 redline. But really. I guess it all comes down to.. the ole saying from Speeder.. " speed costs.... how fast do you want to spend"..

It seems to me your doing the right thing here. Get through with school and get a great job.. then when you have the time and money.. get back into your Z addiction..

What I was comparing was my real life situations. I have a 77 280Z that comes in at 2615. True the 240Z's weight a good bit less. True that will make a difference in accell. But it will also come down to driver. a 2-300 lbs difference can easily be made up by driver. All we can really do is sit back and watch. I know what I have seen personally and it is a strong motor. Not saying one bit that a SR with the relative same HP as a Z will be faster or slow cause I have never seen the 2 at the same HP levels. I am sure interested in finding out though.

I have a few favorite parts. First theres all of the body lines and one of my most favorite.. molded rear spoiler Then we have the No EGR intake and turbo motor!! Finally there is my newest favorite part... LSD BABY!!!!!

Well I just noticed where you are from ... I know exactly who it is !! I have riden in that car!!.. GIVE ME A PM... " who ever you are"...lol.. I will be heading out to the local 1/8th mile track tonight.. hoping for some 8's.. we will see..
