Chris83zxt Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Very nice, though the carpet dash cap looks so out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Oh, I know Star Road... Wonder what it sounds like on a cold-start? Edited November 13, 2013 by Tony D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger280zx Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Am I the only one who doesn't find this car a huge deal? Granted it is light years ahead of the last 4 or 5 big internet hype s30s (mostly because of no visible rust), guess I'm just too picky.

miky360 Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 What impresses me about it is that it's an L28 making 360hp that isnt completely gutted out and built for racing. It could easily keep up with the bigger budgeted builds and then driven home without a trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I struggle to believe it makes a true 360hp but that's one beautiful engine and instrument panel....love those side view mirrors, anyone knows where I can get a set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobafeets Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 This is a beautiful mesh of show, fast, daily driver. I think that power is MORE THAN SUFFICIENT for the s30. Carpet dash isnt the BEST but I think it fits well. Love it. Would be proud to have built that. Great job Star Road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdizzy204 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Definitely a good looking car. The guy in the video definitely doesn't know much about Zs but that takes nothing away from the car. I also highly doubt the HP figure is 360 at the wheels. Perhaps on an engine dyno but no way it has 360 whp and is a street car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowRob Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Million dollar car with a $50 dash carpet. Huh?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnke Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Sure it is 360hp and streetable. Look to the Aussies, or the Japanese...they do this level of work without a second thought. It simply is a matter of proper gearing and good tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I waited all week to watch this video and was disappointed. The Video narrator ruined it for me from wrong wheel PCD to not providing any real details of the engine to calling the headlights "LED" etc etc. I also have a hard time believing it is 360hp, it did not sound like a high compression big cam engine. The TWM TBs and individual coils are impressive as is the A\C. Certainly a well built car and beautifully presented, I am fascinated with fasteners and this car certainly is a true nut and bolt build.

It simply is a matter of proper gearing and good tuning. There is a 325RWHP L24 240Z running around SoCal done All-American... You guys need to get your head out of "rules built engines" mindset and realise if there is no limit on some things, power becomes easier. Just because it's an engine that may make power peak at 8,000+ rpms doesn't necessarily make it "unstreetable"--those same TWM's took our 300+ RWHP Bonneville engine from something that idled roughly at 1,700 and made it start and idle flawlessly as any Corona grandma would drive, I oft opined that if we removed the triple disc Tilton from that engine, and fitted a conventional 225 or 240mm clutch and cover assembly, I bet it would be streetable! People would say "it's mushy before the cam comes on " at 5,000... But look at the power curve and realize "mushy" is a relative term as it's making considerably more HP at that point (and from 2,700 rpms up) than a stock L28!

Blaaa, blaa, bla...forget about streetable, it's not making 360hp from what I saw...you believe that and I have a bridge to sell you. And I'm from NY, so know I'm good for it!

T-Bone028 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 It's impressive that some of you can determine horsepower and how streetable a car can be from watching a YouTube video. Nothing wrong with being skeptical, but there's also nothing wrong with taking someone's word. Some 6-cylinder grocery getters are rated at +300 hp...I don't think soccer moms across the country are driving white knuckled into parking lots.

Tony D Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Would it help to say I stopped by Star Road last year? Seriously, what passes and is tolerated as "streetable" in Japan is quite a bit different than BarcaLounger-Driving American Sensibilities!

roger280zx Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Whether it is 36, 360, or 3600 hp matters not. Because stretched tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
