Im about to get my 1st 300zx TT , All i know is im importing from jap , and i want the short wheelbase 2 seater . I want relibillity so what i go 4 man or auto

/coat_got=true

Is the SWB availble with an Auto?

I thought it was manual only but maybe that's just U.S cars...

 

i dont know ! plz help me ppl !

I dont think either auto or manual is going to give any more problems than the other, Its far more important that you get the best car you can find. You will have more to worry about than gearbox reliability if you buy somethin with shagged turbo's. I have heard that the auto box can struggle to cope with power over 400bhp ish but I think this can be prevented by fitting an upgraded oil cooler or something like that, the auto boys will be able to tell you better.

As someone whose Z has eaten 2 auto boxes in the space of 60000 miles, and who has recently converted to a manual, I'd say the manual is the least likely to mess up, there's less to go wrong with them.

Any more help plz ,

 

What is the difference between the uk cars + the jap ?

 

Any other differences between the shot wheel base + the 2+2 ?

 

I was reading that the TT only does 0-60 in 6.5 , i thorght it was faser than that !

 

I want to b a quick as supra RX7 etc !

(has any one got a pik of a 2 seater !)

 

What is the difference between the uk cars + the jap ?

Nothing really, just a few cosmetics, lights positioned differently, JAP in KPH

 

Any other differences between the shot wheel base + the 2+2 ?

None. 2+2 is longer and slightly heavier

You read that on Supercars.net? Did you read the arguments about it. Official stats say 0-60 in 5.2 and 1/4 in 13.8.

They are as quick as them. They may have a slight edge, but a few hundred quid will make your ZX go even faster.

 

Only thing 1 person here has a 2 seater. They look exactly the same. The way you can tell is 2 seaters have the petrol cap on the front side of the rear arch, and the 2+2 the petrol cap is on the rear side of the rear arch.

Stu u r the gurew !!!!!!

Just to point out.

All UK ZX's are 2+2 Twin Turbos.

Hi, I have a 2 seater TT manual, Japanese import. They are also available with Auto boxes. Drop me an e-mail if I can help with any specific info. Ciao, Geoff

Geoff when is your car ready?It's past January now LOL???

Iain,

.....they didn't say which year though!!!!

 

The wide arches have been fitted together with the rear bumper - looks good. Even with the (49mm) spacers, the wider UK spec rear wheels look lost. I can see it won't be long before I have to get a better set of wheels.

 

Nice to hear from you again, and I will post some pics when done.

 

Cheers, Geoff

I know that roy o donovan is selling a 94 white t.t. 2 seater, I think he's looking for about 7k for it, it has 40000 miles, and having driven it' it would eat supras for breakfast he's listed as royztt

You may of seen this already but it's the only SWB pick I have

Thanx for all youre help ppl . I cant wate till i get it , my brother is naw on wiv the insurance (he pays it 4 me coz im only 19!!) and the impore company is naw sorcing my a car (i have naw payed a dep).

Owning Both a UK Spec Auto TT and a Jap Spec SWB Auto TT I recommend you go for the short wheel base. Its lighter,faster, more agile.

 

My SWB is for sale check white Z in rides section.
