Had a great couple of days with the Z.
Gave her its first wash in years to get rid of all the dust that had gathered on her.
Then took her on its maiden voyage over to East Sussex/Kent borders for a close friends wedding. Was a nice 200 mile round trip to . Apart from fuel economy (which has yet to be tuned), it performed faultlessly! Deffo need to further exhaust work to kill horrendous drone between 2-3k rpm, but I can’t express how nice it was cruising through the southern English countryside on a sunny day with the roof off. It just reminded me how much I love this car

I am planning an engine swap for my zed just to do something differnt and these are the choices before me :
VQ30DET 280hp/285tq
VQ30DE-K 222hp/ 217tq
VQ35DE 255hp/246tq (350z)
all mated to a 6 speed gearbox....
my dilemma is go with the VQ30DET where little is know about it , go with a VQ30DE-k and use the extra cash to turbo chargre it
Go with the VQ35DE but will have to stay NA for a while....what do you guys think??
Why i choose the VQ line of engines is because they are 30% lighter than a VG and close to 40% lighter with the VQ35
