370z Nismo
Dunno a lot guys over there seem to like the 740s over 500s. However you are right it's not like it's stock or stock with a little help. Probably got more hp than a stock 370?

eBay Zed
I've seen this kinda thing before, people buy stuff and die or move. A friend of a friend just left a 5 car garage here a dog and fully furnished flat because he went on holiday to America and never came back. However the lack of external pics the vagueness, it's in London too :lol: I would be suspicious that it's nicked.

I go on this forum during school anyone else
To an extent I do agree with you. But honestly driving it is the whole point. Having a car you cannot drive is like if you had impotence. It's seriously frustrating. The hours I spend working on my car are ok, I enjoy a tinker but there's a means to it. The driving. - - - Updated - - - So nows the time to buy zed stuff in Canada in £'s ey?

For less than 30k new there's the golf R the focus RS etc hell if you want to be silly an Ariel Atom. I know where talking less power but we're also talking 10k cheaper. If you had 30-40k to spend on a new car what would you buy? For most people it's ether speed, luxury or more often compromise as they can't spend 40k on a toy. If you can blow 40k on a toy you can blow more. For nearly 40k the z gives you no back seats, isn't much faster than a golf and well it's not looking like a great compromise. I like them, but you can see why in this day and age they arnt selling like hot cakes.

Stock for stock? I don't think so. The early 350s yes but the later ones no. The 370 should be a good touch faster stock.

Not many school age owners over here bud. Firstly you can't learn to drive till your 17 and then the first few years of driving the insurance is so expensive that most can only afford very slow cheap cars. To insure a 300zx at 17 would cost you more than it's worth, possibly subtle it's worth depending on your neighbourhood. So most have to wait till they are 21-25 to make it affordable. There's not many that are prepared to just stare at it till they can drive it :lol:

My main stealer has one. Yours probably does too. They are underpowered tbf though, even the nismo is only 350hp which isn't much for a sports car of that price these days.

Speedo doesn't work
Is the Hicas light illuminated?

Slicktops
Tin tops quite common. It's just because some cars like ours a non hard top is the norm.
-
Slicktops
Cos the top is slick as apposed to textured due a to lack of targa's?

Talk to me about turbos....
Ok so either a preformed package or have something made. CR Turbos will be able to offer your options.

Talk to me about turbos....
Your very limited if you keep the four bolt exhaust. Basically you have stock, sport 500s and gt525 the latter two are basically one in the same. Essentially these are stock housing with larger wheels. A quick look at Z1 will show you the prices. Next up is gt535R which is gt2554r turbo modified and turned into a kit to fit the Z32, after that there's the Gt600R/sport 600 kits which are gt2560rs again modified a touch. There are larger more expensive options but that should give an outline of the most common swaps from a range of 450-600Hp. It's really something you have to research and choose yourself. There's more options, there's also some outside the box options, but unless your happy to DIY you will be best off paying for a kit. The question is what do you want to achieve. With the right mods, the right map you could make 450hp on stockers to be fair and have a very responsive power curve. Gt525s aren't a whole lot cheaper than gt600s once you factor in the core and the gt535 are more expensive. You can get hold of gt2560s new for about £500-600 each but your going to have to piss about a fair bit, less than with the gt2554s though. I've chose to use either a pair of old school T28s or a pair of GT2560s, the T28 is a personal choice and not a route I'd suggest to others.

Slicktop
Good to see you back about bud. Your doing any hill climbs this season? I was chatting to a guy in Zclub that does it in his S30 quite interested in seeing what it's all about.

Slicktop
There's thousands of them out there in various guises I recon there's more in bits or long term storage than actually being used though. There's about 10-15 in East Dorset/West Hants that I know of alone.
