300 Zx Twin Turbo

[Jimlad]

3ltr twin turbo .... is this car fast ?? don't really know anything about it. Anygood ?

[Bibbs]

fast, but really a big cruiser .. not much driver involvement, but will go bonkers quick .. Why?

[Jimlad]

lol ... don't worry, not thinking of getting one... I saw one along at CRD the other day.

Just curious.

Unrealiable as hell and engine out for turbo change.

Yeah i've seen ZX's die painful deaths at the hands of MR2T'S. And yeah the cars arent built that well.

[nws25]

WTF is this KW stuff, speak english boooooooooy :D

[Bibbs]

bhp * .7457 = kw ..

So MR2 = 225 bhp

and 300ZX = 279 bhp

Hi guys

You've got to admit it's a nice looking car dont you think?

jerry!!

[Leeky]

Their not bad looking but is it just me....the little rear windows.....looks like the nissan designers started to draw the windows then fell off the bottom of their desk

You have to admit they suddenly end, looks almost like a cabriolet the way those windows are shaped.

But yeah nice looking motor

[supragal]

I like the 300 mainly due to it kickin Toyo up the rear and forcing them to create the Supra :D

Cool car, but as mentioned unreliable, and tough to get over 400bhp without pouring money at it.

Get a Supe, you know it makes sense.

[Bibbs]

Get a 3000gt .. same principal .. so much nicer ..

[Yarisboy]

3000gt

[Bibbs]

still prefer a Mk1 NSX though ..

Isnt that 0-60 the same as a US model? And the 3000GT is one dodgy motor to buy 2nd hand they are so damn cheap(usually £5.5k-£8k) and they are usually wrecks. But I wouldnt mind a late spec model. Ive driven an auto was great fun. But out of the tourers..Supra all they way..so much better than the ZX an 3kGT

You poor uneducated child :D

This formula might be easier.

1Kw=1.33Bhp

[dj_davo]

like em.

i was either gonna buy a 300zx, an fto (gpx mivec), 3000 gto, or mr2 tubby.

i got the tubby - but woulda been happy with a 300.

timeless sports car.

[Karma Supra]

Can't deny the Zed is a classic looking car!!! I personally love those rear windows!!! its a shame the nissan build quality is not on a par with toyotas, and like Nick said about the turbos!

I nearly sold my soarer for one :)

[nws25]

I nearly brought a GTO a few months back, but the owners club put me off your looking at £600 for a cambelt change, trouble with the transfer boxes, if you dropped a handful of washers in the engine bay, not one would reach the floor, complete nightmare to work on, and not especially quick, small inside.

Better the devil you know sometimes.

This KW thing, isnt that what kettles are measured in
