My Nissan 300zx
 
Hey guys, here's my '90 Aus-delivered Nissan 300zx.

She's a 'Cherry red pearl' M/T Non-Turbo
3.0L V6, 170kw @ the flywheel
6.68 0-100km's.
Don't know any other stats off the top of my head :D it's no supercar.

I opted for this over a TwinTurbo because of crazy insurance premiums (this isn't much better mind you). Love it anyway, regardless of how fast/slow it is.

Completely stock apart from the 2000-spec front bar, modified exhaust, leather front seats, and sound system :)

Hope you like the pics, my proof shot will be the first to go up.

Sweet car. I noticed that the front spoiler is different to the other (silver) Z's. Is it standard? Me likey :)

Very nice car, it's good that it's naturally aspirated, I don't like the sounds of turbos that much :( The colour is nice, although I think the car looks best in black. Congrats dude and welcome aboard :D

Don't mind at all, thanks for the compliments!

2004 Pioneer CDA-9831 head unit
-mp3, sexy graphic display, all that sorta jazz.. :)

2x 6.5" Epsilon fronts w/ tweeters

2x Blaupunkt 6"x4" rear speakers

2x Alpine Type-S 12" Subs

2x Alpine V-Power Amps (700w+360w)

Soundproofed the whole car with Dynamat.

The sound is unreal, although I'd go bigger in the next car (TT Zed :D ) for sure.

Thanks for that . The answer is yes and no :P . It's standard off a 2000-spec Z, but the bar on the silver one is what mine had originally.

The silver Z just fyi is a Twin Turbo. They're easily distinguished by the slat-grille on the front corners - there for the side-mount intercoolers :wink:. The N/A doesn't have this feature, so they're easy to tell apart. You'll all know your N/A's from TT's now! (unless they're kitted hehe).

in a car like tht ^^ ... the windscreen is the real cenima fer me ... a real time cenima 8) 8)
yer car is just wicked ....... yea planning on gettin new rimms ? :D

ZZX32 04-18-2005 11:46 AM

Hehe nah, no new rims! I plan to get a TwinTurbo Z before the end of the year, so that will get all my attention (mods, mags, etc) when it arrives :D

For now I'm just going to appreciate this car for what it is, keep up the preventative maintenance etc. so it stays trouble-free. New clutch, pads, & replacing some hoses under the plenum soon - not fun, not cheap hehe :) but that's the price we pay I suppose.

Thx again for the comments! :mrgreen:
