    I pick up the 240Z this weekend ( I will post some pics then) its in need of restoration...not sure what power plant to go with. But I <3 Nissan and since its a Carbed Inline 6 stock I may update it with Rb20,RB25 or a RB26 kinda weighing my options at this point. main goal is just to get it stripped primed and ready for its makeover

    ah, one of projects i'd love to do...RB in a 240z and one of the others being an F20c or e36 M3 in a 510

    Your Z32 is sweet, what front bumper is that? (I had one for 4 years)

    Its the greddy widemouth bumper (had it for while) I just ordered a JUN front bumper to have a different look for this show season. Alot of people are getting that greddy one now (and it does look good) just wanted to set my car apart from the 15billion modded Z's out there LOL (yeah right)

    Nah I have helped friends put SR20's in everything from a 240 to a Puegot lol thats probably what will end up in the 510 anyway. Im still researching the swaps to go with. but right now the PSHHHH sound is the leaste of my concerns. the more I research the RB's they drop in with little modification cause the car is already set up to hold a inline six. but we will see. got much more to do before that happens.

    nah, but it will be funny to see the ricers "drift" in a 240 by using the e-brake!!

    you think you don't use the e-brake to induce a drift? [...not just clutch kick and the other techniques]

    u must not have gotten it. i meant totally using the e-brake. doing a 180, then stopping, and calling it drift.
