I used to a own a 300zx TT as my 1st car....

It went Really well i had done some mods to it:

- Hi flowd turbos

- Exhaust

- Front mount

After a couple of month i was driving it on the new m5 road and I saw my oil pressure gauge drop to zero i backed off and then BOOM...Conrod straight out the side of the Block BYE BYE motor....

Quick cars while they last LOL

But overall a great car..Handling was a dream...well Drifting handling i mean

In one of HPI old issues, they mentioned that 300ZXs with VG30DETT is actually very good and reliable engine. There's nothing wrong with the V6 itself. The reason why most of them start playing up when modded is because poor heat management under the bonnet (not much room and air circulation), particularly in TT models. Therefore wiring looms will melt as they get old, and engine boosted higher than std would overheat coz it can't dissipate the heat, resulting in various engine failures over a long period of time.

If u want one, I suggest get a stock TT one, as young as possible (find something like 96 or above) & as low km as possible and when you modify it, don't be a superman. Try use sensible boost level & make sure you get either bonnet vents or aftermarket frontbar with extra hole at the front (I read somewhere the US version has this kind of bumper for better airflow).

Correct me if I'm wrong as I only know thinly abt 300ZXs.

Oh, and I think Prestige Motor Sports' 300ZX is one madly boosted animal on the road. It's auto and despite all mods, the car is still very reliable. I think it was on sale quite some time ago, maybe contact them and ask for more details or hints on modifying 300ZX without blowing them up.

The 300ZXTT is a good value for money car but like every other import there is good & bad one's, They can make good reliable power without 2 many mods, eg mates makes abit over 200rwkw's with C.E.S twin dump exhaust, hks pod filter, timing advanced,good fuel & 14psi owes him around $2000 in mods but he did all the work himself (fitting etc) it does have some small mods like the non turbo auto transmission cpu, non turbo diff, 4ws removed & the std intercooler ducting improved but hasn't cost a heap of dollars & has run a best of 12.59@115mph or there abouts plus still has a top end of around 270 or so if you wanted to try it out.

nismo 300kph speedo in it! also has calitec speed meter! He also has software to remove speed cut & upped the rev limiter 500rpm! just burn a new chip & away you go! as a joke another mate who's a radio tech, he copies the chips for MRz, gave him a blank chip without MRz knowing & anyways puts it in the z & the thing started & ran but wouldn't rev over 4000 from memory so there you go, car will still run with blank chip!

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
