And it sounds like this!


Crap pics but these were the latest updates... Bit of Nismo under the plenum! (had a seal go in no6 spark so perfect time to change the cam covers!)

Suspension and Exhaust system upgraded (from the manifolds back...) but no decent pics of those!

Few more upgrades planned but still at decision point on a few things... But all in all, the car drives and handles better and is more comfy place to sit from the day I picked her up... But if I had to go back to day 1, I would still probably be as happy!

Hope you like (but am open to Crit too ;) )

Hi Racer, Unfortunately not at Japfest tomorrow, might be @ Zedfest, will possibly be at a few other shows this year. Dyno sheets here http://zclub.net/forum/350z-370z/16693-350z-mild-tuning-2.html

@Val, I know what you mean! As its one of the nicest aftermarket rears for the Zed I wasnt suprised! Still not too many Blades in the UK with it, a few blues and blacks and now a Liquid Yellow!

Hope they can give me some advice on keeping it up to scratch! Bain of my life the polishing esp with the bonnet vents and it being a daily driver! Seen a few products that say they help with water marks but not tried any!

BTW, and sorry for a newb to zclub question but whats a G-Nose? Guess I should practice what I preach and go uptop and hit the search button!! ;)

The G-Nose is an acquired taste on the 240Z but was a 'traditional' modification. Gives the front a larger over-hang and (in possibly my opinion only) a more US feel (it makes the front look a little more Corvette). It's a similar flavour to what you've done with yours. I'm not massively keen on the G-Nose on a 240 as it required the right colour to 'work' for me, but your car looks the tits! Hope you make it to Zedfest so I can have a look-see.

I thought it was a factory car....not a "modification" and not "traditional"....what tradition ?

"US feel" - Corvette like......next thing you'll be saying is that the 240Z was built for the Yanks !:rolleyes:

Yup, sorry Sean. It was a jap homologated version originally to get into Group 4 racing. It originally had a plastic 'nose' and rivet-on arches (and probably a spoiler..?). In the right colours with the tight shoes it looks great. It's is a reasonably traditional mod for regular s30's though now though (extends neck and hangs out head once again).

Tee-hee!

Of course.....and they went on to design and build ever bigger and fatter cars to match 'em until your Z32 after which they followed the health-food and fitness mode and went (almost) back to basics - the Z is now a reasonably trim 40yr old after years of corpulence.

I just had a little sex wee................................... That is HAWTTTTTT! :)

If only I could stop modding the 350z I would start with doing up a 240z so the 350 has a friend to keep him company in the garage!
