Non turbo is shat! as i know a boy whos got one and its dog slow! though his is a bit rought!

how come you want one? there bit ugly and expensive to run! as i know someone who used ot have a 450bhp one and he told me how much parts and running cost was

 

well im lookin to buy another car when ive sold the 3 i got just lookin at big comfy fast car therse not many around here ethier or ill end up buyin a cossie but then theres no 1 close to tune that and if i buy a cossie ill only end up playin with that

 

mate theres know close to me that can tune the car good!!! hence i go all the way to Madinhead so Mark can sort me out

 

i had a jap import 300zx non-turbo.. Generally it was fast enough, but not entirely great to drive. Don't get me wrong it handled and accelerated very well but it was very boring to drive.

I'd definitely go for the UK twin turbo as the insurance premuim for that would be the same as an Import N/A. Definitely get the TT if you can.

The automatic gearbox's in the UK spec are much better than the japanese ones, so if you do get an import make sure it's manual.

I'd buy a UK TT if i was to get one again.

 

thanks for the info

 

http://www.300zx.co.uk/ - a good site

probably find what you're looking for in there. Common problems etc (heater matrix)....

comfy big fast cars mate, not cheap to run though i got about 25mpg with my N/A

 

Cheap do buy, not easy to work on.

Decent cars tho.

Always slightly in my mind as one of them is the ONLY car i raced (and i used to try with everything) that beat me in 3years of having the 3door!

It was when i was running 25psi on greens so 350bhp tops, and a full interior (ie only owned about 6months, lol), a claimed (by the owner) 550bhp red one pissed on me in about 4 races from 70-160odd. Massive flames from both exhausts on every gearchange.

Aaah memories

 

Here's my old bus from a few years ago
Uk car, twin turbo, manual, leather etc...
Went ok but bored me senseless after a few weeks

Feck off that was standard appart from the 18's
Note it is on the road and not in bits on my drive Steve

 

my mates got a TT one VERY quick out the box.

his auto box went, cos about a grand, then he found out after that a manual would have only been a few hundred more...

 

I had an import 300zx twin turbo a couple of years back. She was a manual one with some mild engine mods, full Veilside bodykit, 10" wide wheels at the back!

Probably one of the only cars i regretted selling. Had 6 months of TROUBLE FREE motoring!! (one of the lucky ones!)

She was an animal!! Couple of snaps...

TT spec was 151mph 6.6seconds

 

U wanta big comy fast car, try gettin a prelude 2.2VTEC VTI there bout 200 BHP and quite light, plus the gen 5 looks nicer taht the ZX and much better on fuel wen u don't gun it. Also its a honda and with regular servicin its will never die

 

4th gen lude all the way 2.2 Si Vtec....

 

agree mate with the reliability thing but you cant be the roar of the HKS SSQ's when nailing it in a Z!!

Chris

 

hmmmmmmmmm I'd love to turbo the H22 (2.2 VTI) then get a straigh thru and see what it sounds llike then.. ,but I've heard there pretty hard engines to turbo for some reason!

 

yea, id much rather have a 3litre twin turbo RWD than a 2.2 non turbo FWD

ive driven prelude VTi's (used to work for honda), decent cars, but totaly unexiting

 

me and lewis b19 trb saw one of these slide 20 foot and smash in to a kerb 2 nights ago it handled like a fooking boat


DAN

 

howd you know it handles so bad? was you driving? jus cause some spacco cant drive dont mean they dont handle.

they not amazing handling, bit soft, but they meant to be, they ok.

 

because he was driving slow lol i took my shitty 1.6 xr2 around the same bend tonight in the wet and the front went but my car did not hit the kerb steve just admit jap cars are not the best cars on the road


DAN

 

they're definitely pretty good handling wise out the box, never had it going dodgy on me- always pretty predictable. You can pick them up cheap and even insurance is pretty cheap on them too so i reckon it must have been down to driver error.. prob some young chap :P

afterall they are supercars.. they can't be that bad.

 

Dan- Never said they are, most jap stuff is nothing special, same as most non jap stuff, and i dont rilly like ZXs.

But your jus talking rubbish from one thing you saw, if it oversteered on a corner he no doubt put his foot down too much, any RWD cossie would do the same, most RWDs would...

 

no m8 under steered hit front wheel hard fooked a few things up under it i thinks may be he could not drive but just saying he was not going that fast so cant handle that well yea no ??? like i said went in to same bend tonight at 50 in the wet and my car came home his did not


DAN

 

are they fuck supercars

 

Bollocks mate buy a honda!!!!

 

well the TT's are classed as supercars as far as i know

or did i miss the point.

 

i cant see who or why anyone would class em a supercar

 

er i think you'll find they are supercars mate, take your haed out your ass.

people say cossies are supercars, the zed is quicker? go figure

 

not sure if they are tbh. In my eyes, supercars are Ferraris, Lambos, 911 porkers, Dodge Vipers etc etc..... WOuldn't say a cossie, zed or hondas are supercars (ive owned all 3 so not biased at all).

Chris

 

a friend has just chipped his to 545 bhp, they are a big barge but go well , cheers nomad

 

isnt a car that does over 150mph a supercar?

that makes a zed one and a standard cossy not

duno, anyways my bros got a zed its ok but i would nver take one on, bits are fucking expensive.

 

deffo not supercars tho'

 

My Honda Integra goes over 150 but it aint no supercar, so did my M3 evo but that defo aint a supercar.

Doesnt figure...

Chris

 

how do you work out that a car that does over 150 is a supercar ?

 

maybe its a class thang.
out of all the jap stuff i would only CLASS the skyline R34 as a supercar

 

cos thats my next car if ford dont get their shit together and bring out a focus cosworth

 

i didnt work fuck all out mate i put a question mark after if you read.
