Z32 300ZX TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Z32 300ZX cutaway drawing from the book "Nissan 300ZX" by Manuel Vigliani. (Originally produced as a center fold, hence the line down the middle)

The Z32 model 300ZX was introduced in 1989 and was an instant hit. Motor Trend named it the imported "car of the year", while Car and Driver named it "one of the worlds 10 best cars". The 300ZX mates a powerful engine with excellent road holding qualities and safety, and enough luxury to tempt the most jaded executive in need of an express. Power is provided by twin turbochargers, which require much less spool-up time that comparably powerful single-turbo set ups. The 300ZX also features HICAS 4 wheel steering, the Targa roof which has become a feature of Z-Cars, 4 valves per cylinder, DOHC, massive brakes and advanced technology, along with Nissan's justly famous quality.

The technical specifications presented here are for the 2+2 Targa Twin-Turbo, in European Specification form.

SYSTEMS::

HICAS:

HICAS stands for Hich Capacity Activly-Controlled Suspension, which is as fine an example of motor-industry nomenclature as I have ever seen. What it actually means, is that the 300ZX is fitted with 4-wheel steering. Four wheel steering was first developed in the 1930's for military vehicles, as it made them much more maneuverable, and allowed them to turn in confined spaces. Such systems where expensive, and never made it onto production cars. However, the Japanese became interested in the idea of 4-wheel steering, and continued to experiment with it. Nissan's Super-HICAS system is an electronically controlled electrohydraulic system, as opposed to the simpler mechanical system. It was felt that the more complex system offered a better result than the simpler mechanical linkage. In a mechanical system, the rear wheels turn with the front wheels at the same rate. Using HICAS, however, an electronic control unit takes data from the steering wheel, and front wheels, and together with the car's current speed and other parameters, decides on the angle to which the rear wheels should turn. The rear wheels are then turned via a hydraulic cylinder. All of this happens instantly, and the system will constantly reposition the rear wheels for optimum effect, steering them either in the same, or the opposite direction to the front wheels depending on the situation. The HICAS system is superior to the mechanical system in that it provides faster, more reliable response, improves stability on curves, and eliminates abnormal car behavior during rapid direction changes such as those encountered in emergency situations. The HICAS system contains an emergency fail safe which locks the rear wheels in the standard fore-and-aft position if anything goes wrong, effectively turning the car back into a two-wheel steering system.

Mulitlink suspension :

Nissan developed the Multilink suspension system specifically for the 300ZX, but it's success led it to be introduced to other Nissan models. The suspension geometry is defined by an upper, two part triangle which extends the ideal upper-fulcrum hinge-axis point outward. This serves to reduce wheel toe-in variations during acceleration and braking. The rotation fulcrum angle of the triangle which is lower with respect to the axle line works together with the inner bushings and lower auxiliary strut. This means that the side loads imposed when cornering, and longitudinal loads from braking and accelerating increase the toe-in of the outside wheel, improving steering and rear-end stability. This system is fitted to both the front and rear, allowing the forces generated to be assimilated by both front and rear wheels, and converted to corresponding reactions which correct the cars attitude. Having the front and rear suspension work together in this manner increases stability and steering accuracy. The mechanical nature of this system makes it more reliable than hydraulic or hydrogas systems which produce similar effects.

thanks Matt i will check when i get home

any idea when it will be back mate, lookin forward to the arrival of ya motor

A zed fits in a normal council type garage, uk ones are a squeeze without the folding mirrors.

Its definitely a 'snug' fit.lol.

No mate im having trouble getting hold of him at the moment:(

The last time i spoke to him it was just the intercooler pipes that needed doing.

So i will give it 2 weeks then go up and collect it finished or not.

however, once i've parked my zed in the garage i like to open the door, get out and go into the house, none of which are possible in the garage at my last house (ex-council)

If you bring mirrors in,then out again once through doorway, then swing left, you can squeeze out.Easier with the targa looosened though.Like i said.Snug.

Sorry to hear that Steve I thought you got it back ages ago:(

Take it to phil
