My 300c

[soon2b33]

Just thought i'd post up a picture of my 1984 300c. I'm pretty happy with it so far (had it for 8 months) - and i've only seen 2 -3 others around Melbourne during that time. It runs the vg30e motor with a 4 speed auto. Gets up to 100 around the 10 sec mark, and handles really well too.

Might do some sort of engine conversion later on, or just lower it slightly and give it a fresh paint job.

Hi there,

Nice looking car. Seems to have been looked after very well. I'm sure I'll see you around the traps. Be sure to wave and say hi!

yeah i bought it of a dealer my friend knew who said it was traded in by some old bloke, so i got a pretty good price as they probably took it off his hands for next to nothing

lovin it, always wanted a 300c, i used to have a 280c and wanted to pimp it out but i got a silo instead as the 280 was to far gone, but looking back i want another one.

Was this car recently written off? I found one at the wreckers that looks the same.

[soon2b33]

No this one is still alive and kicking..

Well its alive, but not really kicking as i havent had a licence for a while now. I hope to be back driving it by november.

Which wreckers was it..? (just incase i need anything off it )

[SABBAi]

Centre Road Wreckers in Springvale/Clayton. It was very very tidy.

Mind if I come check your car out at some stage?

[soon2b33]

Well the car isnt at my house at the moment, partly because there is no space and partly to prevent me driving it but maybe this summer come around and we'll compare

I'm actually trying to source a motor for it at the moment, as the timing belt pulley bearing broke and i got a new pulley and belt put on it but its had a miss in it since- im thinking maybe a bent valve somewhere..

i got a quote at 660 but that particular wreckers didnt have any in stock. i might ring the one in centre road, see how many kms are on the one u mentioned..

keep in mind that the VG30E out of the 300ZX 84-87 is the same. It will bolt right up to the transmittion as well as all the electricals. You will need to use your Airflow meter and ECU though.

[soon2b33]

thanks- i'll keep it in mind when i call around. depending on prices i get i might even try to get the engine/trans combo as i cant see the transmission going much further either at 350,000km hehe

keep an eye out for mine

are they wide tracks?

[SABBAi]

yes, yes they are

needs spacers

[SABBAi]

I cant fit spacers, otherwise it starts rubbing the inner guard in the rear. It's pretty tight in there due to it's height. The fronts I'm running 5mm spacers to clear the struts. If I go any bigger, I wont be able to steer the bloody thing!
