* Thoughts about the New 300Z *

I was talking to my Dad who is a Nissan mechanic, and he said that a Nissan district manager was in to give them info on the new 300. He said that they decided to take the 3.5 and enhance it to a twin turbo, you guys might have already known this but I thought that it was pretty cool.. That should easily take it to at least 350HP.. I was asking my dad if they could ever apply that twin turbo to the 2002 Max 3.5, and it he said it would be quite hard.. Just some thoughts..

Isn't it the 350Z? I like it. Doesn't only have 280hp? I might be wrong. Veilside has already made a kit for this car. Check the link below to see it. How much are those things going to runing for when the come to Canada?

Sorry my mistake the 350Z, they were only going to make it 260Hp targeted horse, but I guess they are acutally trying to use a Twin Turbo version of the 3.5, if it is true that would be pretty sweet..

I always said I would want to hold off to see if it would up with a turbo. That would be real nice.

I was really thinking of getting the new 350Z and now that I saw that kit it is for sure. Do you know what the price for the kit is?

I think that's a very well done Photoshopped pic. That same picture is somewhere without the kit.

Real or not, that's a very nice looking Z (w/o the kit it doesn't look too great).

Great photochop job! I hate those side skirts and that bumper, but the rear spoiler compliments the rear

did you guys see the interior of the new Z?

It looks a bit too radical for me.... I like the 20" stock rims though

Sorry...I never come into the 5th gen area, thus never read the 'G35 and Z posts deletion thread'...Looks like I resurrected a dead thread.

My apologies.

It's ok. I personally think we need a new section just for cars that share the VQ35DE engine, obviously everyone has interest in it.

My friend just got a new Z, interior is nice. He got Navi and makes interior cooler. It looks really sporty inside.

It doesn't come with 20" rims. It comes with 18" rims.
