If I could wrangle my way back in to an S30 Z car (Unlikely when a good one costs as much as a couple of year old 370Z) I would build one like the last one my father and I had, which had an L28 with a ludicrous compression ratio, but now I would fit triple DCOE style throttle bodies and a modern ECU with knock control and flex fuel so it could run safely on 98RON unleaded but really work right on E85 when you can get it. Our old one ran best on Avgas when you could still lay your hands on that for road cars and just barely OK on 98 RON when that first became available.
I had multi throttle bodies and a much earlier EFI system on one of mine and the sound it made was just amazing.
The pics are of my old one being used in anger while I had it, and another from a couple of years ago when the current owner (Who I sold it to) had his brother pull it out of storage after 20+ years, get it sorted and drive it over to where he lives now. IMO Z cars look soooo much nicer with the rear bumper removed and sheet metal smoothed out, if I had another one even now I would be very tempted to do that again, but I would probably look for a way to run ECU wiring without making any new holes.
The yellow one is my "Permanently under works" race car.
