Pulled along side a very nice looking 300ZX the other night on Mona Vale Rd - at a set of lights.

I looked in, his G/F in the passenger seat just smiled. I raised my eyebrows....

He moved forward a little....

I moved forward a little.....

I gave my car a bit of a rev....

He knew it was on !

I looked down at his car - HKS sticker, Sard, APEXi and other stickers lined his front door

I knew he wanted to race.

I was ready.

Then he revved his car.

SHIT - I'm not racing that - It sounded MEAN !!

I chickened out !

He took off

I flashed my lights at him (nice car mate) as he took off in front of me -

I went home and sulked.

I need to do some more stuff to my car !!!!!

My uncles stock 308 automatic VB commodore with broken exhaust manifold sounds mean, but dosent mean its fast :D

300ZX are much the same, put a decent exhaust on it and they sound fairly tough... and it never means that the driver is assured to put all the power down.. so go for it next time :)

I haven't done this myself - But I hear ... short of taking the engine out, you have to dismantle the front suspension and get at it from underneath....

They really jam the motor into those things - I saw one the other day - You had to take one of the BOVs of to change a damn fuse in the fuse box !!

Nah - too labour intensive for me.... They are still horny as tho !!!

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
