Sorry, but headers are almost always significantly louder than cast exhaust manifolds. The thinner wall of the header allows a lot more of the noise of exhaust blasts (at the head, where the forces a

Sorry, but the new 350z design is uninspired. My father's first comment sums it up--"a lump." The "New Beetle" set the standard for good retro design. The Audi TT set a new standard for simply inspir

Thanks for confirming with an "in-person" perspective the overwhelming response of Datsun-philes across the globe: The new Z sucks raw eggs. I think it was the French influence--the new design reeks

I think that Nissan and Renault corporate idiots have cleansed Nissan Design of anyone with the right stuff to tap into the Z's aesthetic past and translate that into a worthy design--be it retro or

Yes on the color. That yellow-golden effect comes from the Zinc plating done on relay covers, brake lines, etc. Zinc plating protects from rust because the zinc acts as a "sacrificial anode"--meaning

Put me down for a copy. If club orders are the prefered method, is there an East Coast ROC, or VA ROC I could order it through? Whatever, we'll work all that out when more orders are tabulated. Alex

I agree with Dave. I think a well run petition to Nissan by USA owners would have an impact. Believe it or not, but corporations respond to such things--it gives them something to do (same with polit

We're running alloy wheels formerly on a 280Z on our '69 2000. They should work just fine. Remember, lots of parts are interchangeable on the roadsters and Z cars, especially wheels!

Amid all of this debate about Z wheels, what exactly is the offset of stock roadster wheels and what is the exact offset of the Z "kidney bean" mag wheels? As I said B4, the 14x6" SHELBY wheels I pul
