300zx???

[HakenTT]

Does anybody know if they are putting a 300ZX or Z TT in Underground 2??? It would be Kick A** is they do ... cuz i have a 94 300ZX TT , man if u floor it in first gear... you dont even have time to shift !!! The RPM Gauge needle jumps for 750 Idle to 9400 Redline in 2 secounds!!

I doubt they'd be including any of the old Fairlady Z's, or Fairlady Z Twin-turbo models since they are long since superseded.

It is likely that the only cars they will include are current model cars, or very iconic ones such as the Skyline GT-R. (made famous in Group A racing, or, otherwise, brought to everyones attention in an dodgy B-grade movie portraying the car in a very bad way).

[VQ]

dodgy B grade movie? Which movie is that? I know of FNF, but the group a thing, only old men like u Chris know about, the kids now adays only like The GTR and Skylines because of FNF as far as I am aware of and the fact that we get a huge amount of them imported in Australia and most are owned by bloody p platers and are realy just gts' or GTS-t's. Also, the r34 was never used in Group A racing as far as I am aware.

One of my Dad's freind's he's a school teacher, he owns a 300xz, it's modified and he bought it modified from Japan, it is the 2 seater model, lightest one and I can't fit inside comfortably without hitting my head, even with the seat all the way back.
But he brags about being able to plug his laptop into a plug for it and diagnose the problem it is having, which is quite often apparantly.

He's had it up 250km/h as shown on his GPS, because he can set the boost up and stuff. He also has a Black LHD 9287 Porsche and a Neova hovercraft amoung his hover's reckons one day he will put the 928 motor in the neova cos it currently has a Beetle motor as it is a 70's neova Hovercraft because he can't use the 928 in Aus of course.

You know me, I despise the whole Fast and Furious thing.. ;) And naturally the R34 was never raced in Group A (it didn't exist in 1990's). For me, it is the R32 GT-R that is special.

But the old Fairlady Z was something of an eye-catcher, and one of the better Japanese car designs (along with the very low-slung NSX). Sitting in an NSX is like being in a ultra-low riding race car, except while you are sitting so low, you are in complete luxury and comfort, with no rattles or squeaks, and without all the usual quirks usually associated with that sort of car.

[XY_Futura]

ur tellin me... ive been in a NSX with my uncle(he works for honda) and that things is FAST. we where going round the Windy roads at anywhere from 120-200 k's at night goin past all the other cars like they where standin still and going through round abouts like they where Throughabouts lol. i mean u go from 0-100 in like 4 seconds its amazing. ive never been so stuck to the seat since i was in a 180 SX... thats a diff story. any way i better get back to reality and say to my self ill never afford one of them lol

"brought to everyones attention in an dodgy B-grade movie portraying the car in a very bad way)." yes he means the gay a** and the furious......
gives us import racers bad names and posuers in stock escorts with spoilers and 6 inch mufflers.....

more detail on the 300zx? those are nice, VG30DETT. there are a few in town, particularly a nice black one on 18 inch deep dish mesh bbs rims. supposedly had GReddy twin turbos and some other stuff and makes 400hp. i don't really know for sure i haven't talked to the owner, but its pretty tho.

"ive never been so stuck to the seat since i was in a 180 SX... thats a diff story. " do go on.....

[PROBEX]

Dannnng that is one sweet 280zx in your sig. blackice I always loved those cars. I in fact owned one, I still kick myself for selling it. There is a picture of it on my site in the little picture show if you would like to see it.

goto here and click on pictures link (http://probex.tk)

[blackice111288]

yeah, i wish it was mine. i want a '82 2+2 with the MSA type 2 aero kit. theres a 80-83 2+2 in a lot not far from my house, i want to check it out....


how was it(handleing/ speed/ reliability/ drivability/ fuel economy)? i never have driven one, came close to test driving a perfect condition '78 5 speed, but i didnt have the $2,500 (im only 16) so i didnt want to chance it. i wish i could have just gone around the corne rwith it. i happpen to skilled in tha ways of M/T...........

[blackice111288]

wow, what year war your 280? thast exactly what i want dawg, that was nice. i want a royal blue one or black, though that was a tight red/maroon. you have a very nice stealth to. is it a r/t?

[VQ]

2+2 equls too much weight IMO, as I've said I know someone who owns a 2 seer 300zx in white pearl, I've seen onhis GPS with him hitting 250km/h, but I dunno what horsepower it makes, I know it's reletivly stock cept fo the turbos and stuff.

Haven't you been in a decent V8 XY? Maybe once your making a bit of power in it, you wil know real Torque and hp :p

[XY_Futura]

yes VQ i have been in one,,, it was a 1976 XC Falcon ute had a 351 in it that was bored out so much that if he had it bored out 1 mill more hed hit water. that thing would throw u to the seat and ya teeth would rattal loose. it was insain. it had about 500 Hp at the wheels and had a stage 2 shift kit. the body looked shit house but Man it could drive. my sister drove it once she was reversin out of a car park at the Beach and just touched the pedle and did a burn out in reverse lol. but it lost all of its charm when he was down at the local peer hangin out with all the boys doing burn outs. when he was leaving some dick head had put some oil down right where there was a turn so he took off and went to turn but it didn't.. went right into a Lamp post. he got it going again but it just wasn't the same.

then the bastard traded it in for a VT Ex copper. that went ok handled like it was on rails but missed the noise of the wind going through the cabbin at 200+ k's that his old ute made lol

[PROBEX]

It was a 81 280zx it had only 130,000 kl on it I miss it it was exclent on gas and drove very nice a little stiff but not bad. The power band was strange in it all the power came in at 3000 rmp so it almost felt like it was turbo but it was not fastest I had it up to was 220 klph and it handled better and better the faster you went. But the killer was insurance a 2 seater is death for insurance. It was 1200 a year in Saskatchewan and that is very high.

The DODGE STEALTH is a R/T and I still love it as much today as the day I bought it. Who woulnt love 330 h/p all wheel drive come on.... hehe Its a true Canadain Sports car. thank you mitsubishi and dodge. :p

[VQ]

Youy should be thanking Daimler for buying both companys, but anyway, I have a mdoel of a 95 Stealth R/T, looks better then the Mitsubishi GTO IMO.

[blackice111288]

2+2 also equals lower insurance fees and the body style i want is particular to that model...........

280's are already pretty heavy anyway, 2 extra seats wont hurt that much, you should know mr. heavy bloated big blocks! ^_^ just playing.

"Haven't you been in a decent V8 XY? Maybe once your making a bit of power in it, you wil know real Torque and hp "
:rolleyes:
"Thou shalt not live on torque alone.." its in the Bible somewhere. ^_^

[XY_Futura]

he he ill just chuck a Diesal V8 in my XB and thats enough torque right there lol.

now now im not the stupid. anyway ive almost got my XB with the 302 running fine.. just finnished doing the brakes ( found out one of the brake lines had been taken off), just need to fix the auto choke on it and do the rust and a paint job then its done. cant wait

[VQ]

horespower might win in the pub, but Torque wins down the strip, and I'd say a story behind it but I cbf and besides a current alloy v8 is no more heavier then a VG30DETT motor wth more horses and torque as far as I know, and why is it that the cars with more then 2000hp are big block hemis?

XY, don't even need a v8 diesel, though I'd prefer a VW V10 TDi diesel motor, 750nm of torque mmmmm.

[blackice111288]

good luck on the XB...i wanna see pics when u r finished with it.

i've never seen a street legal hemi pushing 2000 hp, but if were gonna talk about all out drag cars, theyve got 2jz-gte's with 1600 horses ,which is dang near 2000.theyre running 6's to. it's team Bullish racing and some other team using purple solaras.

its actually not torque that win races, its horse power.horsepower is a calulation of torrqe and rpm. so its basically how much torque you can use and how well u can use it, see the article in vehicles talk.....

[VQ]

It isn't always that, the amount of torque from the drag cars exceeds well over the amount of Hp it is making, as far as I know, only 6000hp nitro powered cars are pushing 4 second quarters with billit hemis in them. The Buick GNX motor twin turbo-charged is also pushing 6 second quarters so it isn't just supras making 6 second quarters and I bet the GNX was done for the motor a lot cheaper. I'll stop ranting now cos I could care about this now.

[XY_Futura]

well the cars well on its way... ive got all the front end off to do the rust behind the gards.. theres not alot so thatal be done in like 3 days lol. i just did the brakes., it was funny cause i took of the master cylinder cleaned it out and all that put it back on filled it up with brake fluid and pumped the peddle and it all squerted out on the ground cause one of the rear brake lines had been taken off lol so i replaced it did a very crued Brake bleed and there all good lol

[blackice111288]

it was funny cause i took of the master cylinder cleaned it out and all that put it back on filled it up with brake fluid and pumped the peddle and it all squerted out on the ground cause one of the rear brake lines had been taken off [QUOTE]
ha ha, hilarious, i did that before, my and my friends were messing with the brakes of a Acura legend (a project car we had at our school), and we forgot to check if the lines were on good. my freind was putting the front wheel on and i offered to hold the brakes so the wheel wouldn't spin when he tightened it. BTW, the car is on a hydralic lift. so he starts tightening the lug nuts and i mash the brake and a whole bunch of brake fluid sprayed every where. it just missed him, but it was still hilarious till we had to mop it up. ^_^


[QUOTE]The Buick GNX motor twin turbo-charged is also pushing 6 second quarters so it isn't just supras making 6 second quarters and I bet the GNX was done for the motor a lot cheaper.


um, lets see. never said only supras are running sixes, as FWD drag cars are starting to get there, lots of other RWD import drag cars are in the sixes, and doubt building a Grand national is gonna be any cheaper, it expensive both ways, and chevey motors are running fours, not just hemis,, ithink thats it....

[VQ]

I'm not sure which Chevy motors they are, cos only Hemi's have Hemi heads which makes em super stong, but all the drag cars are billit hemi blocks all aftermarket.

So it's cheaper making a car with more parts and a higher RPM limit go fast is it? I very much doubt it Blackice.

[blackice111288]

So it's cheaper making a car with more parts and a higher RPM limit go fast is it?

how is a v6 have less parts than a inline 6? two cylinder heads verus 1, 4 cams versus 2, etc? or a inline 4- 6 pistons versus 4, etc?


more than hemi's have hemispherical heads, i dunno who lied to you, just about all inline performance engines have em.

how did we get on this subject anyway? this has nothing to do with 300zx's.... ^_^

[VQ]

umm, a OHV V6 has one cam, a DOHC 6 has two cams, the valves have to be stronger and more expensive as a result to be able to rev higher, they head might flow more but that's it.

HEMI heads are for OHV engines, because OHC is different. They are semi hemispherical I believe.

[blackice111288]

what are you talking about? how in the world can a dohc v6 have 2 cams, there is 2 on each side!!!

[VQ]

but the buick motor is OHV and only has one cam, and the supra has 2 cams and higher revs so it needs to be stronger to make the extra revs.

[blackice111288]

oh, right, i forgot it was a pushrod engine.

ive taken apart 4's and dohc v6's , inline 6's, and 1 pushrod v6. the combustion chambers are in fact hemispherical, i cant rember but i think the olds head i took of was a wedge design, i cant remember. what were talking about is the shape of the combustion chamber atop the piston. there are only 2 desings being widely used now adays, wedge and hemispherical. hemihead are more effiecient i belive, and they are more widely used on performance engines, and smaller displacement engine. i think chey stop making truck engine with the wedge desing, i dunno for sure tho. i can find out.

DOHC v6's have 2 cams in each of their heads, or else they couldn't be called DOHC, and they could'nt have 24 valves. and, the combustion chambers are in fact hemispherical, i cant rember but i think the olds head i took of was a wedge design, i cant remember. what were talking about is the shape of the combustion chamber atop the piston. there are only 2 desings being widely used now adays, wedge and hemispherical. hemi-heads are more effiecient i belive, and they are more widely used on performance engines, and smaller displacement engines. i think chey stop making truck engines with the wedge design, i dunno for sure tho. i can find out.

[wello]

Hey VQ David Bowden's 72 (xa)gtho phase 4 in race trim is good for an easy 175 mph
if your interested buy this months aussie muscle car theres a comp to win a lap a round bathurst in brockie's 78 or 79 winning A9X how cool would that be -^ -^

[VQ]

Yeah, the GTHO's are beasts, but I'd still prefer a 350 powered HQ Monaro or a LJ 308, what about that super GT which made 500hp or something crazy like that?

I will have to look at it. Would love to go in a car at speed for once, last time was at 200 kmh around the Thunder Dome in a bloody V8 powered Fairlane in like 98, I wanted to go in the new VT HSV!
