Next Car... (Part II) PICS!!!

So... after the whole saga with my cl getting totaled and all it was finally resolved, i was going to get a 240sx and do the sr20det swap then i decided i didnt want to wait around for that and fool with the labor so i went for something that is fast from the factory, the pics are dark cause its night, duh. and i just got it so no time to wash it.... sorry. ive been driving a lot recently i like the boost. its scary fast compared to the cl, current mods are pop charger (intake) and a catback exhaust.














the pics are with me 2 meg pix free digicam so stfu about quality.

im so excited.

The only problem with the 300zx is that it is REDICULOUSLY old. Some of those are almost 14 years old now. It is a fast car, and it was def before its time. Congrats on your new buy

it has had 5k of work done (with recipts) from a dealer prior to my purchase and should run well till 200K or so then some forged internals will be required.

hehe HICAS and adjustable suspension on a 93 is kewl

Hey guys. I was reading this thread and couldnt help but look on autotrader for a 300 TT (mainly cause i change my mind on what car i should own every 3 months or so) but i found one with 2380 original miles. Guy wants 41000 for the car. Just thought that was interesting. Anyone know how much one of those went for new. Its a 96 i think.

damn that is basically a "new" car for the rarity of that car with low miles the price is reasonable. Id rather have the 300Z than the 350Z/g35

its a great car it was so far ahead of its time, digital climate control, in cabin adjustable suspension, 4 wheel steering, the seats are super comfortable and the car handles like a dream not to mention being fast...

Nice car. I was considering a 300zx but I chose the CL for the reliabilty. If I had the cash I'd buy one for a second car (toy) but not for daily driving. Anyway, keep us updated and take off that cursive Twin Turbo sticker too.
