Nice runs.

Those 300 cars are starting to grow on me.

One of my favorite cars was my slick top 93 300zx. It was quick for NA, I can only imagine the TT. That said, they are gigantic pains to work on.

Nice runs. Z cars are no joke. Definitely my favorite import along with the RX7.

I loved sitting in, driving, and listening to my N/A 300zx Z32.... Absolutely hated working on it! It had vacuum leaks that never ended(fix one find another), there's no room at all, and timing is a huge bitch! But I would love to own another one if it was well taken care of or to swap an LS into it.

What is done to the Z in this video? It moves really well, needs driver mod tho!

Yup, would love to get one, but good luck finding a clean unmolested one. One of the best cars in the 90's IMO along with the Supra, NSX, RX7 and 3000GT VR4.

Oh, and my T/A

The VR4's were chick cars - even though they are pretty cool too, but the 300ZX TT was the man's car. No doubt the old 90s 300Z TT was a sick *** ride. Well kept models I consider one the best looking sports car of any era.







I can look at them all day long.

I was looking all over Z32.com back when I was 14 years old, and really wanted an N/A T-top '91+ 2-seater when I turned 16. Couldn't find a good one close though.

Yup. I had the misfortune of needing fuel injectors. That intake is a rat bastard.

I've seen quite a few clean TT's around here, but you had better be willing to shell out over 10 grand. For that price, I would rather have a C5.

Buddy's uncle had a 91 300zx tt upgraded it was no joke those cars were fast. Part of the Japanese Toyota vs Nissan type thing. The turbo supra vs the tt 300zx. They can be made quick and the stick motor handles boost

I hate that damn manifold! I actually still have one that I am trying to sell. The first time I took mine off I labeled and bagged everything!! I had to take mine off so many times it was ridiculous! It got to the point that I could by memory completely tear down the intake, piping, wiring, belts, and covers in less than an hour... That's how many times I had to tear it down to chase down vacuum leaks, belt problems, and timing! Hated that N/A VG30DE!

Believe you're thinking of the Eclipse. VR4's came stock with 320/315 and were high 13 second cars. They were packed with technology and I think they look bad ***.

Yup overpriced but still nice cars.

While the VR4 is very cool, I still stand by that the 300ZX was the much more manlier of the duo. It was just a more clean design with RWD. Had a friend with 500hp Stealth TT and damn was that thing fun in the winter with blizzaks though.

Yes the eclipse is the ultimate chick car.

Yea I would still take the 300 over the VR4. But it's a toss up between a nice 300zx and a clean Supra.
