300zx Or R32gtr

[Sammo169]

Hi, im looking at a new car at the moment, and i was wondering if anyone has experience with the 300zx and whats there opinion, also which would be a better car to own?

[Mr Eps]

thinking about 300zx?

...engine out..

comparing R22 gtr to 300zx??

...that's engine out by default.

[DC33VN]

from what iv heard the engine bays of 300zx's are a real bitch to work on

[Hybrid905]

Yeh it's really tight in the bay of a 300 and is there really a question 32gtr for sure

[MrStabby]

Have you sat in a 300? - not much headroom. And if you want to track it, dont forget about how much more headroom you'll need for the helmet.

[Sammy B]

Have worked on numerous 300zx's, good looking, but fairly old, heavy and slow compared to an R32 GTR. Not to mention the engine bay...

[R31Nismoid]

R32/300ZX - both old and aged examples

IMO neither will be better as it sounds like you don't wanna spend too much coin...

Which means you wont be spending over 20k - as IMO, to get a DECENT R32 GTR that is clean on bodywork (so a respray), has had some maint done on it (undercarriage bushes, mounts etc) then well...

You'll just be buying a clapped out one. 300ZX's are half the price of a decent R32 GTR

[defari]

heavy cars.. not much room inside, moreso the 300zx.. im 6ft and i can just fit in the back of it

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

I had a 300 that had around 300rwkw. Bit of a weapon but suffers badly from under bonnet heat, and at higher power levels they are pretty loose.

Shit to work on too, go the GTR.

[mad082]

i'll be different and say r33 gts-t with a turbo upgrade to make about 250-270kw at the wheels

[Birds]

Did someone say 300zx?

Engine out.

In definate agreement there.

300zx + Engine out= same price as buying a 32 gtr anyway. Both expensive for alot of work

[typevu]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF--- that!

Engine out.

[Sammo169]

Well, unanimous verdict to the GTR. 300zx just popped into my head whilst i was looking at GTR's and i'd always liked the look of them and thought i may as well consider it.

Thanks for your help.

there you go, you already knew the answer in your head. it was always going to be GTR

[blur]

There are a lot more people willing to work on GTRs than 300zxs, with good reason. Find a good mechanic that knows GTRs and really there not that much more troublesome than other cars of their age.

[sneakey pete]

Was a sporting event, guy with a 300zx (who was driving it quite well actually, they can are pretty decent cars), had some coolant leaking out the front

"oh well, its leaking from somewhere in there".

Multiple bits to come off just to check out the hoses

They're a really nice car, yes I'm biased, but if your interested do some research on aus300zx.com

As long as the cars well maintained you wont have any dramas with overheating or anything like that & there's a few zed specialist mechanics in pretty much every state that do great work.

oh & 7 years ownership = no engine out

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

A few zed specialists, not enough.

Ever bled the clutch on one of those kunce, fkn mission.

Engine out.

[StealthX]

Finding a Z specialist without driving >100kms - engine out.
