My Nissan 300ZX!

speedsport · 29th July 2011, 17:17

Finally after all these years i bit the dust and bought myself my 1st factory 300 horse power car

Car was bought immaculate, previous owner 'babyed' it to the core.Was a full option car, not the longer wheel base 2+2, with bose audio package,climate control , tan interior .

Drove it back on a 2900km journey and had a lot of fun driving it back.

Setting the cruize control and clocking good speeds on the bombay-pune expressway was an experience..

It took great self control to not go down the 'lets go faster route, but then one moment of weakness took care of that.

* Plug and play standalone from AEM is on its way.
* Full exhaust system from Billy Boat is on its way.
* Turbo Smart Boost controller on its way.
* Intercooler spray kit ordered.

this should get it going faster for more we'll think about it later ...

Let me be the first to congrats you. This is one superbly preworshipped car you have managed to get hold of.

You can't keep even a 300 Bhp car stock, so what kind of number we will be looking at after the above mentioned mods?

veyron1 · 29th July 2011, 17:32

Congratulations, speedsport.....Immac....!!!

Three very important questions...

A) This is the Euro-spec LHD; wasn't a RHD VQ 30 available?
B) If you don't mind of course, how much did she set you back by?
C) The contact from whom you got her...

In future, might need a RWD...!

akshay4587 · 29th July 2011, 17:41

Wow,she looks,as if she rolled off the assembly line.
Cruise control at 180,sounds yummy,and that too in a LHD car

speedsport · 29th July 2011, 18:00

thank you..

i saw a couple of supras and skylines even a 2+2 300zx tt. but this was immaculate. it didnt need any work, the others did. so that pretty much sealed it.

GTO · 29th July 2011, 18:11

Whoa, congrats on the 300 Horses! She looks super duper clean.

If the car completed a 3,000 km trip without any issue, well, I can say you've gotten a great example. What better test for a car.

Is it limited to 180 kph?

Congrats again & drive safe. Look forward to the mods. How about taking her to the dyno before / after each mod?

He he so the cat is out of the bag eh ?? The car is truely in amazing shape. Unbelieveable condition & mileage.

Brilliant aquisition !

Cheers

download2live · 29th July 2011, 18:44

It is in very good condition. Great find and great buy.
We so much need to know the price you paid for this machine.

dhanushs · 29th July 2011, 19:06

Wow!. The car looks squeaky clean. Lucky you! I remember that I liked cars with this sort of headlights most, when I was a kid. I loved the way water splash when I would run my little fast and streamlined cars over water.

.

btw, what gains can be expected out of an Intercooler spray kit?

Amazing car and in great shape too. This is the twin turbo with glass T-top?

speedsport · 29th July 2011, 20:06

why does everyone want to know the price ?

@dhaushs - when you run more boost then intercooler spray helps in keeping things cool, specially in delhi.

@venon - it was offered to me someone (cant remember) . its a known car in bombay. if i can remember i'll pm you .

@Mpower - yes twin turbo manual , Ttop.

best thing about it is that its so driveable... the ground clearence is so useable, surprizes you with the things it goes over without scrapping.

Mpower · 29th July 2011, 20:14

Is it an aftermarket exhaust? The OEM had quad tips. (two duals left and right)

Spent my college days drooling over these things. Friend later owned a silver color NA model with Ttops.
