I had watched that seafoam video quite a few times when I first got my cl because i was going to try it before paying someone to fix the p0104 code, That is before I found this site and realized how easy it was to fix yourself. I never knew that was your car though

It was time and I don't know how much longer that original tranny would last.
Well for my next car I fell in love with a 5speed RWD. Not telling what it is yet tho. At least not in this thread.

Haha well I wanted to wait cause I was gonna get the car soon but decided against the car I was going to get. Reason was I would rather pay more for less miles. And I just don't want to say I'm gonna get something then not get it. But I'm 100% what I want now.

A Z32 300ZX. ('92 - '96)
Was looking at some TT's but there was always either something wrong with them or too many miles. So now I'm thinking since the TT's are $3k more expensive than the N/A's anyway, I might as well find a nice 2+2 N/A and a low mile TT engine (or VH45) and swap it.
I know they aren't the easiest cars to work on and not as reliable as a Honda/Acura, but I have a nice steady job now so I'll be ready.

I really don't want any flame about my decision or whatever in this thread tho, so if you guys don't mind, please keep the flame down to a minimum....

300zx is an awesome car, I was just about to buy one, but they're definitely a complete pain in the ass to work on. Good luck with it though, they're definitely a lot of fun

I actually think that's a cool idea, it gives you something to work towards with a swap and those TT's can make some good power, although they're hard to work on with the engine bay restrictions. You're gonna want to swap the N/A engine though, they don't make that much power. I remember I raced one from a stop to about 110 on a dark night in PA, I had him by about 2+ cars, kid had the standard bolt ons and clutch/flywheel.

Teaser of the Z.
'95 300ZX N/A 2 seater @ 128k miles.



Only mods are Top Speed exhaust and dual intake that was done right. Also has a nice Boston Accoustics sound system with a bazooka tube sub which fits perfectly in the hatch. It's perfect interior wise and mechanically but there are some minor dings on the doors and a hairline crack on the plastic piece above the tail lights. Getting those dings popped out by a well known paintless dent removal around my area and replacing that plastic piece and puting on some sweet JDM tail lights on while I'm at it before I start with the mods.

Thanks man. Saw someone recently do a little pic timeline (forgot who it was) and thought I'd make a vid with some appropriate music.

Oh, and of course the pics and what not.

https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/new-hotness-788299/

Didn't want to post pics in CLohie's thread and didn't want to clutter the First Gen CL section with non-related stuff so I just made a thread in the car talk section.

It's definitely noticeably quicker and the fact that it's a 5-speed really helps but by next summer it's gonna be a whole different beast. with the dual intake, exhaust, and chip it's pushing a little over 200rwhp. Gotta do that little dyno thing I used with the CL. It's funny, the Z responds to I/H/E and a chip WAY better than Honda/Acuras but on the otherhand, you have to pretty much pull the engine for any other mods...
