300zx Twin Turbo

[Blitz]

Here is an unbiased opinion from a former 300zx owner.

DONT DO IT!

As another former owner I would have to say that I agree with nick 100%

I really like them..

but they are more trouble than its worth

[cowie165]

Is there any truth to the claim most 89/90 cars are rusting out? I wouldn't imagine any more instances than with same age R32's, but talking to importers/compliance workshops they seem to be overrepresented when rust and breakdowns are concerned.

That said, I'd love an auto 2 leather seater TT. It'd be a great daily. Just look after the motor, no silly hp attempts, and it'd be great. Probably get my vote over a 91 Soarer GT-LTD too.

What would John from Unique say if he heard you talking about him like that?

[carlo]

Rusting out.. I aint heard that before. I have owned 3 89 imports.. Not a spot of rust on any of them.

I suppose its where they come from and who used to own them. Buyer beware etc etc.

lol and blitz.

Having quite a few mates owning 300zx's and being fairly active in 300zx repairing and maintanence.

Just dont buy a lemon.

Most of them have no problems.

Still, buy a skyline instead.

Just some facts having owned one myself, turbo's can be swapped without the engine being taken out if u have a hoist (disco Garrett disco potatoe's bolt straight on) but you will max out injector at around 18psi which makes it expencive getting some good injectors I had blitz 880's which were $1300. Internals are strong as are the gearboxes and diff's R200 diff and box is the same one used in the r33's, the breaks are good even better with some slotter slightly bigger rotors on there and if you do the exhaust (twin system) you'll be laughing.

The intake plenum is good for quite some HP but you can do a single plenum aka z33 topsecret style and go big single TB (90mm) the stock brick intercoolers are also pretty decent but you might want to do a nice front mount if you want one.

But having said all this I'm now in a 32 but would like to get another 300zx for cruising, not huge numbers or anything like that just a daily driver that can handle a good squirt every now and then.

I was thinking about getting a 300ZXTT.

Something I was going to factor into the purchase though was spending about 5 k - pulling out the engine myself - doing turbos, intercooler, injectors, clutch, heater hoses etc.

As far as I know the computer can be reprogrammed. If not do a PFC. Would be a weapon and I love the look of them. I think better than the r33 even - got that exotic look - very sexy car and a lot have nice leather interiors. Don't need to get the wheels perfect either - I find it hard to get a perfect wheel/tyre combo for a '33

Cheers

also the engine is basically two of everything

two afms

two plenums

two throttlebodies

two engine almost vs gtr which has twin afm, twin turbo then single plenum

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

One AFM isn't it??

[Blitz]

One AFM isn't it??

Correct

[88silhouette]

if you have to buy a 300zx, buy a z31!!

[Blitz]

There is plenty of room at the scrap heap for Z32's and R31's

[fatz]

lol blitz you girl you just want a r31

[Blitz]

LIES

A mate's got a Z32 tt, goes like a bullet when you mash the go pedal, but when it came to corners, compared to a R33 Gtst and a WRX that were with us, he had to brake much eariier and take the corner much slower.

That said, I love the cockpit, very spaceship like, and was a much better looking car than the R33 and the rex.
