Scottie-GNZ Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 I am curious. What are the specs and how much? What does a Cima weigh? ------------------ Scottie 71 240GN-Z http://www.mindspring.com/~vscott911/gnz.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clint78z Posted August 11, 2000 Share Posted August 11, 2000 I think it is simular to VG30et in z31 but it has DOHC and a couple of other tricks up it's sleeve . I think a ceramic blade was used in turbo to reduce rotational mass . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 12, 2000 Share Posted August 12, 2000 Isn't the cima the twin cam 4.5 liter V8 engine? Those ceramic turbos are very fragile too. Skylines have ceramic turbos as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted March 30, 2001 Share Posted March 30, 2001 this was an old post but couldnt resist to reply..... teh ceramic turbos are crap they are good for stock booste levels but anything that would make it worth while and the wheels shatter sending all that stuff into your engine......If i remember correctly the engine in teh cima is the same engine that is in the same year 300zx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
