Ok, After months of not adding any new posts here I am doing 3 in about a 24 hour period of time. Well lets just say I am a little bored. The picture to the right is not the best color for the car but the information that is to follow is just about as exciting as the previous post. There is a rumor that Nissan is going to put the 4.5L V8 that powers the Infiniti M45 in the 350Z making it a 450Z. HOLY CRAP!!!! I am so glad that I hesitated to buy the 350Z when I was looking at them. Not only will they put in the 4.5L engine they are possibly looking at putting in Quattro-like drive train. Can you say "look out WRX!!!" Now since the 350Z came out it has been my dream to get a pre 90 black Turbo Z , a 94-95 Black TT Z(this one I do have), and to get a black 350Z(now I want the 450!!!). How sweet will my garage be huh? Now the 95 300ZXTT is my favorite and will always be my favorite. Who can say no to having the trio. All three in black. I think I’m drooling!! Yep! Now, this is all rumor so far and of course it may never happen but here's hoping is does. Although I hope it doesn't happen for a couple more years. Say 2 years. By that time I should be able to afford one of these sweet sweet cars. Here's to planning your debt ahead of time.

I got your message. Check out my site for a new post. :-)11/29/2005 07:12:00 PM|W|P|Bradley Jones|W|P| A colleague/friend and fellow Z owner and lover directed me to an article on the web about the Variable Turbine Geometry turbo (VTG),pictured above, that Porsche is going to put into it’s new 911 Turbo. I have to say that I am extremely excited about this. It is probably the first thing I’ve heard of since I found out about turbos that has been done to drastically improve them. Now, the turbos on my car run about 900 dollars a piece for stock replacements from the manufacturer. I can only imagine how much these are going to cost. My other concern is if they would even fit on the Z or not. I sure hope there might be some kind of adapter and if not. I just might have to make one!!! Here is an excerpt from the actual article located at http://www.autoblog.com/ . “This technology allows the angle of the compressor’s turbine blades to continually adjust. While some diesel engines have enjoyed this technology since the Nineties, the higher exhaust gas temperatures created by gasoline engines necessitated the creation of new heat-resistant materials to handle the hotness.” “much broader torque curve and more flexible powerband than a standard single turbo could provide on its own. Power ratings for the new VTG turbo engine haven’t been released and probably won’t be until the new 911 Turbo surfaces sometime next year.” Hope you enjoyed this.
