300z

[Slvshadow]

No matters how new you are, a warm welcome from one Z to another. If it were up to me there would be many more 300's as well modified one's on the road. Check out my webpage but don't forget to read about my all too many mods in current progress.

[Slvshadow]

Is it me or sometimes it seems as though people do not think much of the 300z as being a quick and nice ride. Perhaps throughtout the years it has decreased so much in value from the original price, or maybe it has pasted it's years. Since i happen to own a Z myself, naturally i would perfer if our vechicle was given as much respect as our rival competitors the all famous Supra's and RX7's.

well, welcome from one Z owner to another, :thumbsup:, wat mods hav u got done? year? site?

[rc2002]

300zx is a sweet car. Very rare, but not so coveted anymore now that the new 350Z's are out. I know a lot of 300zx prices took a sky dive after the 350z was introduced.

[redbaron303]

I have an older 300zxt, its fun, but I would imagine a TT would be even more fun :D

Oh well... ultimate goal of mine is to own a fully restoed 70's 240Z :D

[sandman]

TTs are awesome :burnout: i love mine to death :love:

[DeSi]

i want a TT

When she was silver that was the second time i've done here up, gone through 2 engine and second transmission that i've gone through. This will be be 3rd engine now and boy will she fly. At the silver stage she was a single turbo vechicle with a few mods but nothing this crazy as the way i'm releasing her now. Sometimes i think god i've spent well well well over what she was worth brand new is it really worth it? Than i come to my senses and realize how much i love the sensation of cars. There beauty, styling, body lines, and sheer speed of acceleration. It's like a Mastercard commercial. Beauty $40,000, Styling $20,000, Body lines $20,000 the experience of sheer power and acceleration PRICELESS.

any progress pics?

Not at this point, girlRacer has some of my pics of when she was gutted. I would rather show the pics all at once showing the various stages. Alot of people as well as many of my friends wish to see her. I kinda want it to be a surprise when i release her. Don't worry as soon as the exterior not even the interior is done i will post my pics up for all to see. Thanks for having so much interest in my beast. Always great to know others share the same passion as you do.

I never really liked the 300ZX but that's a personal bias.
Just a heavy car, didn't handle too well and it didn't match up in terms of Nissan's other cars that they offered at the time.
In terms of competition, it never handled as well as the RX7 and never saw the same type of power that the Supra's could attain.
Still a good car though..:thumbsup:
Just not my cup of tea

No worries we all have our preferrences, perhaps when you see my vechicle in March you may like the Z a bit more. The Z is a bit heavy for stability and is very tough to work with in the very tightly cramped engine compartment, at last i still love this car. Thanks for your opion and take care.

[Khyron]

I love the body lines of the 300. It was one of my dream cars back in the day. Mind you I'm not a huge fan of the the 240 or the rx7 styling. Shrug.

[thich]

i've seen some crazy stuff done with the 300 tho.
I remember some JDM company messing with an SR20 in the 300 and got it to go to 11sec with 600hp... so that was interesting.

You ain't seen nothing yet wait til my rides out, i'm hopeing to have 1000hp hopefully 800hp and up at the wheels. With this power and torque i should be able to achieve breaking the 10sec barrier.

[redbaron303]

That's a heavy car to push that fast! If you do it! Totally :bigpimp:
That Black supra will have some competition...

You gutted girlracer???? haha.

Welcome Vince.

[buh_buh]

hate to break it to you, but those TD04's will run out of efficiency way before 800hp.
The 15g TD04's (which is the biggest TD04 made, not even the one in the Greddy kit) maximum hp rating is 580hp flywheel (for 2 of them). If you want to make big power, you should consider moving to TD05 good for 800hp and TD06's if you want to break 1000hp (no kit for TD06 though).

Is this .......? Thanks for welcoming me. She nagged me so long so i thought i may as well join up with guys

[2000impreza]

no way the engine/tranny will hold anywhere near that much power either.

I was told each td04 can produce up tp 580 per turbo. Man that sucks i will have to chat with a few friends about this, thanks for the heads up.

I have a issue of Import Tuner where a guy in Houston got his up to 910hp, naturally a few mods will have to be made to the engine to accompany these upgrades.

I thought so, your car kinda gaved it away. Maybe since i'm on here i may even consider joining your crew of vechicles here. Let's just say a few girls asked me to join your guys a few times.

[Ashkente]

If you're who I think you are, my friend works with you..:) I've seen your ride in the parking lot a few times.. nice! :D

Yah vince you might want to talk to whoever is supplying your turbos the td04s wont even come close to bringing you the power you want. You might want to look into a haltech setup or some other form of standalone. I dont believe the powere fc is made for the 300. Also if you want 1000hp say good buy to the stereo gear in the back youre going to need one huge fuel delivery system back there to supply that engine with what it needs. Youre friends with Mau? Talk to him he'll have the turbo for you..also why go twin turbo..swhy not go single:)

[Bubba-G-]

Ya you can't go single that easily on a Z because it is a V-6 :rolleyes: Also I think you are fighting a uphill battle if you plan on making 1000hp, because our crank bearings aren't exactly gonna put up with prolonged use of anything past 450rwhp, our interals are also not exactly built to gom past 500rwhp for prolonged use. and I don't care what anyone else has to say about this I have extensively researched this.
Oh and if anyone is intrested in a nice Z drop me a line mine is for sale but I'm in no big hurry to sell it now because the mkiv I was going to buy, the deal fell threw :whipped: however it will be listed in the spring, good it is hard to sell a sports car in the winter :banghead:

[sandman]

really? cranks dont run well past 450? if u get pugraded internals, then will htey hold up better than 500 or no??

[sandman]

I've spoken to more than a few people to scare me away from this really crazy conversion. All that i can really tell you is thta single is not a option on my vechicle. Man this sucks i already paod big bucks for these turbos guess i should do more research tham listen to a few friends of mine. I gotta admitt this really upsets me. Thanks to all you guys for letting me know, feedback works pretty well sometimes.
