That leaves 2, one Z logo, and one not on a logo.

Maybe this was said already, but the Z in the 350Z emblem on the rear hatch has 3 dots...

This may be reaching, but I think there are also three dots on the base of the shifter (aluminum piece at the bottom)... one on the left, one on the front, and one on the right.


I have no idea where that last Z emblem is unless it's under the hood or something. I recall there being a badge on the top of the intake cover, but I thought it was a Nissan badge...

Here you can see the right side "dot" on the shifter base I was referring to above...

Okay, the hatch was the last Z logo.

The last set can be seen in this picture (I know it is a touring interior, but it is on all Z's). Another hint, the Tamiya model that I got a while ago came with two of them, but there is only one in the car.

On the original concept for the new Z. What was the name and size of the engine that they used?

Isn't there a Z on the cover of the owner's manual...? Great question by the way!

To the dismay of Z-Car fans everywhere, the Z concept (1999) featured a modified 2.4-liter DOHC 16-valve four cylinder (KA24DE - I believe) powering the rear wheels. This engine has seen duty in the 240SX. For the Z Concept, it was modified with a racing camshaft, lightweight pistons (10.7:1 compression ratio), reprogrammed engine management, and a dual exhaust system.

Adding to the Z Concept controversy was Nissan’s engine choice. Z-Cars have always been known for their robust inline six cylinder, or V6 engines (occasionally with single or twin turbo chargers). Residing under the hood of the Z Concept was a version of the Nissan 240sx engine, an inline 4 cylinder . While the engine had been modified with lightweight pistons, racing profile camshafts and additional technical enhancements allowing it to produce 200 bhp at 6200RPM, the engine was two cylinders short of satisfying Z-Car traditionalists. Many vowed that they would never purchase a Z with a “four-banger”.


Right?

No problem- I don't care. Actually I'm surprised you were able to find that old site- it is in desparate need of updating don't you think. Actually I have some ideas what I'm going to do with it.

www.thenewzcar.com if you're bored & want a good laugh from 1999.

It's amazing what can be found on a google search. It doesn't need to be updated. If you ask me why it doesn't need to be updated, I'll let you know...if you start first by telling us, who is Dara?

umm...she's a friend from L.A. If I tell you any more than that, I'll have to move this thing to off topic....! (now that was a handy excuse).
