Message	however they are usually kits with everything needed (Toyota kits come to mind) and they are far from easy to fabricate/design yourself. Now, that doesn't mean it can't be done but given the infrequent use of conversion kits on cars that are MUCH easier to convert than a Z, you can logically see why no one has bothered with it on our car. Just too much work/time/money for such a little gain. Timing belt failures are a pretty rare cause for engine failures...that is, when they are replaced at proper intervals with Nissan OEM parts. In fact, I'd venture to say that more engines blow from people putting in bad gasoline than timing belt problems every day. Good idea though, just not logical :) My 300Zs: www.zheaven.com - Have a question about either of my 300ZXs? Answers lie within.
