Super Drager Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 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.

eightsixboy Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 5 years I have been running mine daily on ethanol, you must be a pansy Paul. 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.

jjman Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 now there is a big, heavy piece of work that suffers very horribly with the age most of them have under the belt now...

AngryRB Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited October 16, 2013 by AngryRB Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/432767-300zx-tt-potential/page/3/#findComment-7065784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BakemonoRicer Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 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.

StevenCJR31 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 ^^ uneven comparison Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/432767-300zx-tt-potential/page/3/#findComment-7065897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjman Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 ^^ 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.

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. eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bKZimzQLNc on an rb25 Edited October 20, 2013 by Bennis Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/432767-300zx-tt-potential/page/3/#findComment-7070993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gameboy Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 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.

Gameboy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 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.

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...
