Just bought myself my first 300zx z32 1990 NA and my god I'm in love! It may be an automatic but it shifts faster than any other car I've had with similar bhp, I've had an s type 3 litre 256bhp and it doesn't move half as quick as this.

I bought it for £1000 which I think is a good deal considering the only thing wrong with it is a tiny dent in the rear quarter.

I've been told the things to look out for are the injectors but they are brand new on it, also with a new fuel pump and exhaust system. (Sounds pretty brutal)

I shall add pics soon and if you want to give your advice on some decent mods I'll be more than happy to listen :).

Cheers

Hello & welcome :)

 

What's the plan for your car? Keeping it road-based or focused for the track?

I really want to look after it, so definitely road based, although increasing the power sensibly would be pretty cool, nothing extreme though. Max 250bhp would be plenty!

Its a slippery path my friend, thou shalt not be happy with a limited speed/power :devil2:

 

I had a 10 plate Scirocco which had 200bhp and thought wow, never need more than that...then came the 250bhp ish 350z....then the 155bhp VX220 (but bhp per tonne number is scary) and then a 300bhp Skyline...the only way is up! lol

Oh god don't say this to me! Hahaha, I have a funny feeling that you'll be correct, however I've gone from a 1.3 fiesta to this... It feels like I'm heading to the moon in it! Lol xD

Welcome Mike! Before moding bug gets going, give the car a good check over and service. When was the cambelt

changed (if ever)? What is the condition of the sills and wheel arches (corrosion)?

Believe it or not it's in the garage getting a check over now, the last service was October but I think I'll get another on to be on the safe side. Camblet was done 7k ago :)

Camblet was done 7k ago :)

 

And when was that done?

And when was that done?

 

92k now on 99k last year it was done

Good. We have had cars on here that have had cambelt changes within a few thousand miles but have been

unused for many years.

I can imagine, it wasn't stood for years or anything, the guy just sold it to find his mg track car project. Personally it should have been the zx as the track car not his mg but never mind, I've got it now :D :D
