Did anyone else take a closer look inside that one ZX with the Sparco seats? I'm wondering if they were actually narrow enough to fit inside without the door armrests hitting them.

mmm I think that pink Z31 belongs to a guy name Xavier, I met him on myspace's Z group.(yeah I have a damn myspace). Hey beside the people that we already know on this forum, do you think any of those other Z owners are on Zdriver? Like the RB swapped 240Zs, Maybe theyre all on HybridZ?

The green RB25DET 240Z is owned by one of Kyle's closest friends, but he doesn't have time to post or even read the forums. He's got a business to run!

I send him the juicy bits in email.

I keep thinking there's some 280ZX around that molded the gas cap area closed, and re-routed the filler to the back of the inside hatch area.

oh crap it is him! Ive seen his video on Streetfire.net and cried!!! Sickest 240Z Ive ever seen!!! Looks sick and I love the deep RS Watanabe wheels and a pretty cool swap with good numbers, I dont remember too well but I think the SR20 made like 300hp.

That's the problem with the SR20 turbo swaps. They can be made to make from 300 to 350 hp to the wheels, but past that and you're really pushing the SR20 to the limit.

The RB can go a LOT farther and even the L6 ultimately has more potential. It can just move a greater volume of air than the little SR20.

The SR20 is really popular with the 240SX crowd because it's easy to fit the little 4 banger in where the KA24 (also a 4 cylinder) was originally mounted.

For the effort, I would put an RB in my Z before even considering the SR. The amount of time and money necessary to do the swap to an RB is little more than what the SR20 would cost and you'll end up with a lot more car for your effort.

Or, for even less effort and money and even more output you could swap in an LS1 And make more power on pump gas then the L28 is probably capable of making at all
