hey thanks 4 the welcome, im really confuded how to add any pics as wen i click add image it takes me to a web link but my pics are on my documents on the pc lol

sorry about that ive figured it out now above is my 300zx lol

hello and welcome!:dance: lovely looking zed :D the more i see the veilside kit the more i get to thinking! caribzx!!!!;)

 

dan.:cool:

Welcome to the club Dave!!

That is a very nice zed to have at 19 years old!!!

Welcome to the club looks a clean example, i'm not a big fan of the veilside kit , love the wheels though

 

would be intreaged on what engine mod's you have as a fellow n/a owner ;)

 

Chris :)

lookin good bud

Don't let Si see this :rofl: :rofl:

 

Welcome Dave, yep nice tidy looking example, gota get that interior sorted though:D lol

thanks alot guys for the quick replys and nice comments

i used to own the laguna which is on the first pic which is also a 3litre v6 lol but not quite as quick as the zx lol

i agree the interior really lets the car down im thinking of getting some black leather to get in there lol

engine wise as far as im aware of is only has a apexi air filter and supermegaphone exhaust system , im not sure how quick 0-60 is but the laguna is 7.5secs and the zx feels quicker maybe 6.8 secs ? lol need to get it on a dyno some time lol

There are a few thread's on here advising how to get more from the n/a engine (what mod's etc)

 

I've also got a bit of info from some us forums (very informative if you're sticking with the n/a engine and want high power.)

 

Chris

thanks alot chris i think il stick with the n/a for a while as i think the twin turbo wud be too much for me to handle at my age and lack of driving experience ! lol

i love to upgrade to one once ive owned this one maybe a year or 2, i guess the twin turbo is a huge improvement on power to the n/a ?

i hope to at least get the standard 222bhp as i know cars loose power over the years not sure how much just a apexi air filter and exhaust add maybe only 10bhp ?

thanks dave

Yep n/a around 225 from new, i've heard people have got around 214 on a dyno with just an apexi, the tt is rated at 280bhp (standard) i'm still debating what to do and i've had mine a year lol would like a tt engine one day i think , but may be easier to buy a tt further down the line

 

Agreed though the n/a is not slow by any means ! , ps: i think you may have to subscribe to view the n/a tuning threads (best £20.00 i ever spent on mine though)

 

Non-Turbo

225 bhp with 190 Ib/ft Torque

0-60 is 7 secs

Top speed is approx 150mph (with limiter removed)

With Induction kit, decat, exhaust, Headers and a chip your looking at 240-245hp

 

Twin Turbo

280-300 bhp with 280 Ib/ft Torque

0-60 is 5.5 secs

 

Top speed is approx 175 mph (with limiter removed)

With Induction kit, Exhaust, Chip, 1bar boost your looking at 350-380hp

 

 

 

 

Chris :D

adding info

thanks alot for the info i appriciate it :)

i would be happy at 214bhp thats decent for a 19 year old car lol

the zx needs mot-ing yet i hope it passes as its been sitting on the drive for 6 months , but i start it up alot the past few weeks to make sure its running ok, one problem i have is the trust bearing my dad tells me, say when i put the clutch down the engine goes a lil quieter then even in neutral i bring the cluth back up it makes this weird noise and if i rev it a little the noise goes away, i dont know if this is a expensive or important job to fix ?

You had any insurance quote's yet?? , on the clutch front i'm no mechanic lol, and iv'e got an auto, but if you're concerned post another thread up detailing exact symptons etc and am sure it wont be to long before someone replies

 

Chris

the only way i can imsure it is with bell insurance if i buy a cheap car and insure it fully comp and drive the 300zx with third party if my dad insures the zx on his own

other wise the insurance wont touch me lol

thanks il put my car symptoms on other thread later on :)

thanks dave

There is a thread on the site listing allot of company's, there may be a few you missed? (i could have got a uk spec tt insured for around £400.00), but i pay £760.00 on my current j-spec n/a with express insurance who say there import specialist's

 

No worries on the help :cool:

 

Chris

thanks man il do some research on the insurance :)

heres a few more pics of my z

ive got loads and loads of pics of it as i get abit trigger happy with the camra lol

That engine bay looks very clean mate:bow: do you now if it's had the speed limiter removed?

thanks mate
