SleeperZ Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 I can't believe it fits! That is sooo cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Damn, that's how it should have come from the factory. If that were the case, I would likely be driving one right now! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80LS1T Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I guess those guys are just saying "screw waiting for a turbo/superchargers kit, were just going to go balls to the wall and put in a RB26DETT!" I wouldn't have the balls to do that to a brand new car! I love it though! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest michael_240Z Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 wouldn't the engine technically be an RB26DET since they went to a single turbo setup? i agree with tim, that's how it should have come from the factory, except they could have tried to set the engine farther back or lengthened the front end slightly(that way not only would it balance the front and rear better, it would give it a general body shape more like the first generation Zs).

Guest tt350 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Man I cant wait to finish Mecahnical Engineering, youll be seeing some crazy stuff then. lol (I got about 3 years to go, dam). Why is nissan dropping its testoreone levels these days? I mean, did you guys see the new Skyline. They friggin killed the looks, and the power. Forget about upgradibilty, i think that was shotgunned to hell as well. I think this Batlground engineering should show this to nissan... dreams Im seriously considering makin my own money now (kiddin, dont go on callin the cops). That is one nice setup. Only 2900 lbs.? how much does the original weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Hey, I just noticed this forum, and found my car on it. Thanks for the compliments, the engine is at the machine shop now, hopefully will be going in soon. I have a lot of work to do and a lot of parts laying around. Hopefully going to pump out 850RWHP, put some of these import haters in their places. Here are my mods: Nissan 350Z - RB26DETT GT76 Single Turbo, 1000cc Injectors, AEM Race ECU, Wiseco Pistons .40 Over, Polished Stock Rods with ARP Rod Bolts, HKS 60mm Wategate, 2 Greddy Type S BOV, Apex Head Gasket, HKS Fuel Rail, Aeromotive External 1000hp Fuel Pump, Aeromotive FPR, ARP Head Studs, Blitz BLM EGT/Boost Guages, Volk GT-7 Wheels with BFG G-Force KD/TA's for street use. I forget the rest. The Splug you see on the bumper was me hitting a bug 3 days earlier, the last time it was on the road It should be back on the road in mid September at the latest!

Drax240z Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Wow, that engine bay sure is small compared to the S30's! I too think this is the car nissan SHOULD have made out of the 350z. (I guess that would be 260z... Hmm, I see a marketing problem here) Great swap, keep us updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
