I was wondering if it is possible to put a 350z engine into a 1990-96 300zx??

anyone know if its possible and if you did do it what would you need to do??


thanks
 
unless you are puting it in an NA i wouldnt bother its not as powerful as the TT stock motor and its french ................yeuchhhhhhhhh !!! they eat frogs and snails for heavens sake
 
Don't get us started on the 350z not being French debate, the engine was first used in a Nissan I believe (cue Mr.F).

Again it's a case of "why" not "if", anything is possible (I can't see it'll drop it easily) :)
 
In USA the whole 350Z engine and transmission has been transplanted into a Z - anything is possible...after all there are two Fiat 126 with Chevy SBC installed running around the place and that barely leaves room for a driver!

I'd love to see a race with a stock TT Z32 and a stock Z33..... not too sure that even with a TT the Z32 would win, especially on a twisty track :cool:
 
You've seen the top gear dvd right?

I'd sooner have a crash in a 350z, but I'd sooner drag a 300 :)

I know things move on, but not always for the better. Don't forget the 300zx was about £30k or something in 1988, the 350 isn't that NOW (think £60k 350z).

Which particular stage-managed pack of lies do you refer to? The one where Clarkson realised the 350 was ahead and backed off to let the 300 through or the one where Clarkson realised he was doing too well and backed off to the extent that Tony Lamb's 260Z nearly ran into the back of him?

The stock TT and the stock 350Z are almost exactly matched in a straight line from a standing start and even the wonderful HICAS rear wheel steering wouldn't help the 300 keep up on the twisties...

:devil::p:devil:
 
When they raced over a 1/5 mile back in 2003, the 300ZX beat the 350Z over the line once it got into 3rd gear!...with The Stig driving the Z Club member's white 300zx.

You mean when Clarkson realised he was winning in the 350Z and backed off to let the 300 through...? :devil:
 
:p

You run the drag league, look at the numbers ;) Can someone remind me stock 1/4 times for a CZ32 and a Z33?
 
Hi,
As I recall it was the owner of the 350z driving his own car and The Stig drove the 300ZX, as the owner wasn't happy driving it himself??
Clarkson wasn't in either car!

amen to that :cool:
 
well, I sense a face off then!

My Z is nearly stock, (surely stock power levels anyway) I'm an average driver, any stock Z32TT would like to go round a track or do a 1/4 mile?
 
There's already a few in the drag league surely? Someone must have some numbers for us :)
