everyones going to be selling their gtst's now and hopping on the 300zx E85run... :)

Its a good compromise if you cant afford a GTR or to build a rb3025

Hahaha i hope not! To be honest if the Z32 came in an AWD model i would never even consider a GTR of any sort. However i had the choice between skyline and 300ZX, drove both, made my choice.

5 years I have been running mine daily on ethanol, you must be a pansy Paul. :P

Yep. ;)

Not trying to go to far of topic here but have you found the united e85 to be consistent? I know someone was telling me there can be big jumps in octane at times.

now there is a big, heavy piece of work that suffers very horribly with the age most of them have under the belt now...

Gorgeous IMO and otherwise massive potential. but the challenges of getting it there are too great...

I wonder how the 300zx would go with a couple of GT3076's, maybe just the CHRA's inside the stock housings, probably a laggy combo for a street 300-400kw but the sound of them would be amazing ... ill keep dreaming :)

The 300zx has an incredible chassis, especially with regard to high speed stability, not to mention the motor is extremely capable.

The JUN/Blitz 300zx set the record in Bonneville in E/BMS class in 1991 at 419kmh. Jun came back with the Supra RZ and only managed 401kmh....

Was also several peoples car of choice in the Mid Night Club in Japan for high speed Wangan runs...

A much more capable car than a GTS-T.

^^ uneven comparison

iv got to say much of this thread has been this.

For basic get it up to good working order and bolt-on-and-go-ease (and cost), the GTST murders the ZX.

Of course you get stuck into it and you have a 3L twin turbo motor which will always hold some good aces based on that.

Most of the notable examples put down here of the ZX (and that iv ever seen) are built versions with the full monty thrown at them. And when they have noted the $$ tag it took to get there, it is eye watering.

Just to answer your desire for a loud turbo whistle.

The only turbo smaller than a GT3076R / similar GT30 turbo with the anti surge housing is the HKS GT-RS.

The HKS GT-RS is basically a Garrett GT2871R done up by HKS. Has a similar designed anti surge compressor like the gt3076r and makes the same sound, albeit probably a bit quieter. Youde be paying up the hill for two of them though.

I recently sold mine. Stock as a rock apart from a cat back. My sister has an r33 gtst also stock with just a cat back. Both 5 speed. My Z was a hell of a lot faster. My brothers Z was even faster than mine and his was auto but had full exhaust and big front mount. Bloody awesome cars. I loved the seating position it was like a little jet.

I had to sell it as the interior and exterior was just shit and would of cost me a fortune to fix it all. Parts are expensive for them but to buy one whole is cheaper than most Silvia's. I'd love to own another one some day.

Also should you get a z32, CZP is your 'go to' online store for literally everything you need.

edit: actually thats the gtx's but you get my point

Some things to look out for.

Cracked control pods/functionality

A/C vents not blowing where they are supposed to (I was never able to determine why mine were stuffed)

Lifted dash

Leaky or bypassed heater core

Bonnet slightly raised due to someone jacking car up by rad support (happens more on the Z's for some reason

Spoiler all spongy or cracked

Torn carpet on drivers

HICAS playing up

Cracked window cal

Drivers side chair torn

Electric seats playing up

Leaky targa tops (make sure it has the shades)

Just some of the things from the top of my head and reason why I had to get rid of mine, was going to cost me to much to repair.

These cars are pretty cheap to buy these days so you should be able to find a mint example for under 8k even. Jump on the http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/ to get a better idea on what they are worth.

keep us posted on the character, mods, output and $. Be good to hear about from an RB guy... :)

yeah will do, should be happening in the next couple of months, will have it put on the same dyno too for direct comparison to the RB with GTX3076 on ethanol.

Hopefully it will sound as good as the rb, its hard to beat the sound of a GT3076 at full boost on an RB25.. but we'll see...

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
