seech Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Afternoon all, Stepping up the hunt for a Z at the mo. I am seeing some cross-over between vehicle years and claimed power. I have seen 2005 cars listed as 280 and 300 PS as have I seen 2006 cars listed as 300 and 313. Is there any definitive way of checking the difference between the 3 engines via pictures or an actual visit? I can see some unknowledgable/dodgy traders trying it on... I will post a wanted ad in the appropriate section... (low miles GT, anything but silver!) Thanks in advance. Quote

seech Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 Ha ha I knew that was coming. I did spend some time searching but could only find the interior difference between the 05 and 06 models. Will keep looking. Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 --> 2005 is 276 2006 --> 2007 is 296 (up to 07 plate) 2007 --> is 313 (57 plate onwards) 313 is easy to spot as it will have 2 air intakes The best way to spot the difference between a 276 and a 296 is the interior. The 296 shares the same interior as the 313. Have a look at some of the pics on here of members cars and you will see. Quote
HaydnH Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 2007 --> is 313 (57 plate onwards) Mines a 07 plate 313. Quote
seech Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 Brill. That's a massive help mate. Thanks for that! Quote
HaydnH Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 You selling it HayndH?... I don't want to, but work may be shipping me to Hong Kong soon so might have to then... hopefully I'll be here long enough to enjoy a summer with the roof down though. Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 2007 --> is 313 (57 plate onwards) Mines a 07 plate 313. I think there will be a few who will have 07 313 or 57 296..... Was just giving a rough guide Quote
Ian Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Easy way to tell what engine you have Timing cover on the 276 (DE) has a smooth surface Timing cover on the 300 (rev up) has a dimpled surface The 313 (HR) has twin intakes Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Hope you don't mind me asking but the picture with the air induction kit. I have one ready to fit. Were do you put the air sensor switch ie male as female is on the box Do you just leave it dangling or is it best to just keep the ducting and take the box off hence keeping the sensor switch as it is? Sorry if I should have looked it up but I suffer from a rare headache disorder and can only spend 30 mins at a time looking at PC screen. Kind regards in advance Peter (thenoname) Quote
