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?

he loves it. it get's him all fired up to bag GTRs, then it's nap time. hehe.

Behold, this is the best way to approach a 300zx

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

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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
