everyones going to be selling their gtst's now and hopping on the 300zx E85run... :)

Its a good compromise if you cant afford a GTR or to build a rb3025

Hahaha i hope not! To be honest if the Z32 came in an AWD model i would never even consider a GTR of any sort. However i had the choice between skyline and 300ZX, drove both, made my choice.

5 years I have been running mine daily on ethanol, you must be a pansy Paul. :P

Yep. ;)

Not trying to go to far of topic here but have you found the united e85 to be consistent? I know someone was telling me there can be big jumps in octane at times.

now there is a big, heavy piece of work that suffers very horribly with the age most of them have under the belt now...

Gorgeous IMO and otherwise massive potential. but the challenges of getting it there are too great...

I wonder how the 300zx would go with a couple of GT3076's, maybe just the CHRA's inside the stock housings, probably a laggy combo for a street 300-400kw but the sound of them would be amazing ... ill keep dreaming :)

The 300zx has an incredible chassis, especially with regard to high speed stability, not to mention the motor is extremely capable.

The JUN/Blitz 300zx set the record in Bonneville in E/BMS class in 1991 at 419kmh. Jun came back with the Supra RZ and only managed 401kmh....

Was also several peoples car of choice in the Mid Night Club in Japan for high speed Wangan runs...

A much more capable car than a GTS-T.

^^ uneven comparison

iv got to say much of this thread has been this.

For basic get it up to good working order and bolt-on-and-go-ease (and cost), the GTST murders the ZX.

Of course you get stuck into it and you have a 3L twin turbo motor which will always hold some good aces based on that.

Most of the notable examples put down here of the ZX (and that iv ever seen) are built versions with the full monty thrown at them. And when they have noted the $$ tag it took to get there, it is eye watering.

Just to answer your desire for a loud turbo whistle.

The only turbo smaller than a GT3076R / similar GT30 turbo with the anti surge housing is the HKS GT-RS.

The HKS GT-RS is basically a Garrett GT2871R done up by HKS. Has a similar designed anti surge compressor like the gt3076r and makes the same sound, albeit probably a bit quieter. Youde be paying up the hill for two of them though.

I recently sold mine. Stock as a rock apart from a cat back. My sister has an r33 gtst also stock with just a cat back. Both 5 speed. My Z was a hell of a lot faster. My brothers Z was even faster than mine and his was auto but had full exhaust and big front mount. Bloody awesome cars. I loved the seating position it was like a little jet.

I had to sell it as the interior and exterior was just shit and would of cost me a fortune to fix it all. Parts are expensive for them but to buy one whole is cheaper than most Silvia's. I'd love to own another one some day.

Also should you get a z32, CZP is your 'go to' online store for literally everything you need.

edit: actually thats the gtx's but you get my point

Some things to look out for.

Cracked control pods/functionality

A/C vents not blowing where they are supposed to (I was never able to determine why mine were stuffed)

Lifted dash

Leaky or bypassed heater core

Bonnet slightly raised due to someone jacking car up by rad support (happens more on the Z's for some reason

Spoiler all spongy or cracked

Torn carpet on drivers

HICAS playing up

Cracked window cal

Drivers side chair torn

Electric seats playing up

Leaky targa tops (make sure it has the shades)

Just some of the things from the top of my head and reason why I had to get rid of mine, was going to cost me to much to repair.

These cars are pretty cheap to buy these days so you should be able to find a mint example for under 8k even. Jump on the http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/ to get a better idea on what they are worth.

keep us posted on the character, mods, output and $. Be good to hear about from an RB guy... :)

yeah will do, should be happening in the next couple of months, will have it put on the same dyno too for direct comparison to the RB with GTX3076 on ethanol.

Hopefully it will sound as good as the rb, its hard to beat the sound of a GT3076 at full boost on an RB25.. but we'll see...

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      By Duncan · Posted

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
