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...

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
