S30Z Goals

    My goals for this car. Not really after power. Maybe 250hp? Probably less. I’m more concerned with the setup. Individual throttle bodies, stainless headers, oil catch can, oil cooler, diff cooler, baffled pan, radiator, breather tank. Another strong part is the rev limit. I want to get it to 8k. I heard that the L28 crank can only hold up to 8500 rpms, so 8k should be ok right? Even if it doesn’t make power that high. With a completely trick head, some high comp coated pistons, and a extra strong set of valve springs. I should be able to get some decent power, and at least be able take it to 8k just for fun. As far as the suspension. I want to upgrade everything, and make it as adjustable as possible. Then slam/camber it. Get some decent wheels, cross drilled slotted rotors, rear disc brakes, an some better calipers, an lsd. Then inside of course a fixed back carbon bucket, tilted gauges, a quick release, short shifter, and roll cage. Other than that nuthin big. Some thick black 350Z paint, euro bumpers, chin spoiler, composite hood, cowl thing, hatch, and maybe front fenders. Last of all I’m reserching ways to fit a Z33, S15 or R34 6 speed to an L28 motor. I know this isn’t a real detailed list, it’s kind of an outline for me.

    Eveyone in the old school game wants Work Equip, SSR MK series, Starshark, Mesh, Longchamps, Hayashi Streets, or Watanabe wheels. Me……I really want a set Hoshino Impuls, or Work Equip 02’s.
