any1 had one of these? any ideas what there like? the ones ive seen look pretty rapid, quite fancy a targa one for the summer

 

Had one a few years ago
twin turbo manual
Handled like a boat and didn't go that well either to be honest!

 

not what i expected to hear to be honest! maybe not such a plan then. you wouldnt have another then spadge

 

mates got an auto, that goes ok!!

and if it hadles like shit its prolly cos the rear wheel steering wasnt working.

 

But consider the upkeep. Cost of Maintenance/Turbo's/Tyres etc. Higher than a Cossie IMO.

 

Removing/locking the rear wheel steering makes them handle better, but they still big barges.

Absolutley fooking impossible to work on due to it being a fookoff complex 24v v6 in a small space.

Top speed record for one is a fookin crazy and MaccaF1 mashing 268mph tho

 

somebody once told me that its a REALLY expensive cam belt change, as in like 12 hours or summit?! I think its engine out job? Anyone know if this is true?

Maybe just pub talk.


Nice looker thou!


p.

 

I like these toobut have decided that rx7 is a much nicer looking car.

 

his auto box went and it cost a grand

he found out after that for £200 more they would have made it a manual

 

Head Gasket Replacement is 24 Hours Labour.

Im not suggesting that this is the case here but, it always makes me laugh when kids sell their Peugeot 306's and Citroen Saxo's and buy cars like 300ZX and GTO etc. OK, so they can be bought cheap, but the upkeep is still on par with the almost 'Supercar' status they had in their day.

 

my bros got one, tub of ill handling shite.

my 200sx runs rings round it all day

 

mate bought one, standard red auto, box blew two days after buying it.

he spent a shit load on it, sold it when it looked like this~

 

I had a manual black 300zx TT. Full Veilside, 10x18" wheels on the back!!! Had it for about 6 months used daily, not one thing went wrong with it.

Not the best handling cars but mine did shift well in a straight line!!

here she is!





Fairly cheap these days but hard to find a goodun!

i had one for ages , and i hated it ,i spend 20.000 + on mine looked the nutz but handled like shit at speed , had lots of problems with the cambelt tensioners, and the rear suspention , isold mine about 6 months ago on ebay , personally i would steer clear mate

 

here's a few pictures of my old one

 

 

3 hrs to do a belt , pretty simple job std time ,

what a crock , at high speeds thats what hicas is for m8 , and if youve ever driven a car with faulty or seized hicas you wuold know how unstable/twitchy they become, hicas is fantastic at high speed cornering ,
it is removed for the straightliners in a effort to remove weight , cause there too fook ponsy to even try and corner , typical ,'i read it in a magazine bullshit'

they are a hard car to work on , i should know having 10 year nissan experiance, dont forget how old these cars are now ,

 

IIRC the Hicas was removed on the GrpA GTRs and almost ALL nissan track/drift cars ive seen have had it locked or removed as the drivers DONT like how it drives with it fitted.

Ive NEVER read anything bad about HICAS in magazines as the writers generally know nothing but the reasoning behind it, they have no experience or knowlege of cars.

And straight line its obv youd bin it, but i said HANDLING, not straight line.

 

sorry didnt realise the guys was looking at a competition 300zx

 

oh thats right he wasnt so

 

Depends how hard you drive on the road isnt it

 

no a road car should be a safe car , we are not all proffesional drivers
