If I Ever Wanted A 300z, This Would Be It

Your lack of intelligence does not surprise me! Nor does the fact that your immediate response to someone voicing an opinion (good,bad or indifferent) that doesn't align with yours, must mean that they're intellectually challenged with a predisposition to suicide!

I was just stirring because it looks just like every other 300ZX on the road, a rushed under cooked wedge looking thing suppose to hold a candle to the other sports cars of its era!

I was stirring shit! So consider yourself "a piece of shit" and consider yourself "stirred"! :laughing-smiley-014:

Stirring shite is for the wasteland. This is a legit post and there's no need to crap in it like that.

Blitz.....what happened to yours that made it such a mistake?

haha Get Angry son! :)

Dont get me started.

The list of problems was long but distinguished.

I owned a series 2 R33, swapped it for a 300zx with a few mods. I have regretted it every day since. The car costs heaps every time something minor goes wrong (which is monthly) the engine bay is so cramped that i tore 75% of my hands off changing radiator hoses and no matter how much car i take with it something new goes wrong.

I suggest to those who are considering a zed, mkae sure you have PLENTY of patience!!!

But to stay on topic with this thread that white zed did look quite tidy.

They arnt exactly the easiest cars to work on.

Simple things such as a spark plug change require the engine to be pulled.

LOL,

U probly heard it of some 1 huh?

they spark plugs was on top!

no need to pull engine...LOL

I had 1, I could called myself lucky, never have any major problems since 2 yrs of ownership!

the 300zx cockpit feel like a true sport car, if u ever sit in 1.

skyline, i feel its like a family car.

and the torque, omg, the torque!

hard to find a good clean 300zx, but if u found 1, U gona love it to dead!

I sat in my friend's 300z a while back, was bloody awesome.

Back then I didn't know much about cars, and he had a full veilside kit with a massive exhaust. I thought it was a super car of some sort.

Nice car.

They aren't that bad to work on geeezuz. I have one and enjoy working on it you pansies :P

I'll go with Lysergic on this one! Alot of what you guys hear about the 300ZX is BULL$%T urban myth. Any import (Zed or otherwise) that hasnt been taken care of, rolled off the boat and driven will give troubles and overheat.

Yes I am biased as I own one, but its been the best car I have ever owned. I race the thing (club, hillclimb, supersprints etc) and drive it hard regularly and it gives few drama's (only minor ones you expect from a hard driven car).

They can be awkward to work on but most of the normal maintenance shit is as easy as a Skyline. Turbo changes are a bitch but hey thats what you pay for an awesome handling and low slung package. They can be made to handle extremely well with little money and are a dream to drive.

Dream garage one day will be Z32 and R32, what great packages.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
