Or maybe an RB26DETT engine swap (the one with the NEO head) then..... (for you oldies that haven't got a clue what i am talking about, that is the highly tunable 3.0 V6 twin turbo engine from a Nissan Skyline, standard parts can handle up to about 400bhp)...

Sorry to correct you, but the RB26DETT was a 2.6L inline 6-cylinder engine. Standard output was 320bhp although official figures will quote 276bhp because of the "gentlemans agreement" in Japan. The ceramic turbos can't handle much more boost power because of their durability but a steel turbine (RB26DETT-N1) engines can handle up to 600bhp with standard kit.

There have even been modified Skylines achieving an awesome 1600bhp!

Okay. I'm done being smug and geeky in my knowledge

Good Call Old Chap, i was meaning the RB30DETT, not the 2.6, made myself look like an a**e now..

And by equipment being able to withstand 400bhp, i was meaning standard clutch, pistons, gearbox etc...

We all make those mistakes now and again. Nevermind! No harm done! :lol:

Since the 'one option' rule has gone by the wayside I feel that I can now post!

1. Cruise Control (no surprise there then!)
2. Trip computer
3. Intelligence pack
4. Sat Nav
5. Full leather seats and monogram interior
6. Illuminated vanity mirror equipped visors (not an option - but MGR shouldn't have deleted these!!!)
7. Roof rails

I could go on. And on. And on. But I won't!!!

Plan to retrofit:
1. Cruise control (har har)
2. Trip computer (with the Traffic Master mod!)
3. Autodimming rear view mirror
4. Leather seats with heating (and why not? )
5. Illuminated vanity mirror equipped sun visors

And also a double DIN head unit rather than the OE sat nav.

Have already 'mono-grammed' the dashboard - and retrofitted the roof rails

Once that job list is done, I'll be very happy bunny!

Those were the days when you could have the rear doors wide open and go for a ride sitting with your feet trailing out of the back or even all piled up on the roof rack coming back from a picnic (did that on an Austin Oxbridge estate iirc)

Modern motoring has lost something through the years hasn't it?

Mine was smoke grey then changed to tundra (dark green), not that horrible green you mention Keith.

Ken, the windows were a luxury I could never run to.

Funny that thing with the back doors open; the exhaust fumes would be dragged back in again and self and passengers would arrive sick with headaches from CO2 poisoning.
Health & safety eh?

Glad to have been there but doesn't it just make you realise how fantastic our 75/ZTs are.
Still brings me back to the fact that I have quite enough gizmos!

And if you could only have one? My guess would be cruise control

Very useful on a dark, stormy night trying to find your way home along country lanes. I may well have still been lost now

Again since this thread has gone into free-abandon, here is everything I want to retro fit to my car (and probably in the order they will be done - but this is entirely subject to budget! )

1. Better stereo (this is a work in progress)
2. Multi-function trip computer (also a work in progress)
3. Reverse parking sensors (on my xmas list)
4. Power-fold mirrors (Although, if I have to take my doors off I'm gonna cry...)
5. Some sort of parking heater for a V6 would be nice, despite the inherent fire risk
6. Dual exit tale pipe.
7. Re-trim the seats as mine are looking a bit worse-for-wear.
8. Private number plates. Just because I can.

Mine has everything but a sunroof, and sat nav-TV.

I do miss having an electric sunroof.

As for the sat nav.... I've just purchased a new tom tom where I can check the 5 day weather of my destination (or anywhere else for that matter), it can handle all my text messages and phone calls and has a live traffic alert! Don't think the fitted ones on the 75s have these functions...... But having a TV would be wicked!!!!
