    no holes...Hmmm

    how about a bulge like on the new fords but more subtle, more like the MX5 nice and smooth.

    Yeah a "cowl" will work, depending on the supercharger used it will be one mighty big cowl though lol

    Cue ridiculously large cowl hood now...

    Haha, you will seriously need something of that size.

    There have been a few Z32 supercharged NA's posted up from the states, some with vortech's others with roots.

    No holes in the bonnet? What's that about? According to QLD transport you can have parts of the engine exposed outside of the stock bonnet as long as they are covered with a scoop of similar material as the rest of the boonet.


    I'll look forward to it, new shocks, lowered springs, big strutbraces, solid swaybars, super sticky tyres and a road I know back to front. Should be fun, hey?

    I dont need none of that, I'll give you a run on 18 year old stock suspension on a road I dont know at all on a 100% stock engine. Hell I wont even turn up the boost so you have a chance. :) lol

    A scoop that big is going to look pretty silly, a cowl hood is the only real way to go in my opinion for a professional looking finish...

    Chrispy, 300zxt... If you guys are so keen on racing why not take it to the track? That way you can actually push yourselves as hard as you want and don't have to worry about doing something that would be illegal on the streets...

    supercharged Zed would be good to see. I've wanted to do it... but I'd miss my aircon too much if I went that way. Nissport had a bug catcher setup that they pulled off a Zed... was just sitting in their workshop. Would have loved to see the zed it came off.

    Haha we're just playing around, we've met before at the last cruise. Just poking fun...

    I say you need to ride shot gun with me some time Chrispy to give you an all new appreciation of the Z31 Turbo, and I'll do the same in yours to give me a new appreciation for the Z32 NA! :)

    Find some pics of those supercharged Z32s aswell, I wanna see how they ended up mounting it.

    fair enough... but still Police do read these forums and I'm sure both of you as well as all the other QLD Zedder's wouldn't want them to pay more attention to the QLD cruises. But whatever my opinions on street racing are, it's your choice I guess.

    Maybe get some sort of QLD aus300zx race meet going or tag along with another group or an open/practice day. It'd be an interesting race too I reckon. Stockish Z31 Turbo with no suspension mods but with increased boost Versus Chrispy's NA which is far from stock... I guess driver comes into it as well... but still would be good to see you guys hit it on the track.

    Ah yep, I missed that... Same thing as the first pic I posted of the Z31, replaced the ac compressor aswell but man I bet it gets super hot down there on dohc vg.

    Don't like the look of that

    that crank pulley is so far from the bearing, I think you would quickly destroy those bearings. The eccentricity is massive.
