I can finally say after all these years I own the car that was on a poster on my wall as a kid!

Life long dream come true to own a Twin Turbo 300zx 5spd. When I saw this one pop up I had to jump on it, and luckily my wife understood what this car means to me :thumbs:

OHHHHHHH~ This is soooooo nice! Way back when was in elementary school, this was a dream car for me as well. And yours look just like how they are in the old school car brochures.

Badhobz 12-08-2023 08:23 PM

Nice ! Check one off the bucket list.

I drove one of these before and I recall they were quite tail happy.

That's a beautiful example of a 300ZX, congrats!

So what do you think? Is it everything you thought it would be? Anything you didn't expect? Future plans with it?

68style 12-08-2023 10:46 PM

I always have an eye out for a silver one... had a poster of one on my ceiling... or the super rare midnight purple.

donk. 12-08-2023 10:59 PM

That 300 is baller, looks clean too, let us know how many electrical gremlins it has after a year

GS8 12-08-2023 11:51 PM

Another 300zx owner. Cool. I have its retarded cousin:

So my car and I have something in common.

Gorgeous! That's always been one of my favourites!

Badhobz 12-10-2023 04:14 PM

Jesus I remember when these were everywhere and plentiful. Now it’s like seeing a f40 on the street or something.

68style 12-10-2023 08:37 PM

Where did you find it locally if you don't mind me asking?

bcuzracecarz 12-10-2023 09:11 PM

Thanks everyone, looking forward to getting out to some more meats this spring/summer.

I did a very good job of that on my first one (2+2 NA Auto I bought in grade 12 with every penny I had to my name), holy shit was that car an eye sore looking back :heckno:

this one is staying OEM+, love the stock look of the 2+0 TT

Only been a few days so far but definitely happy with everything, HICAS (Rear wheel steer) is a little strange to get used to, I'll most likely end up eliminating it since it can be a little unpredictable. I'm going to keep it OEM+ and do all the upgrading of parts that are prone to fail, or are just plain old. No plans for big power, just keep it a fun weekend toy and hopefully get some collector plates for the spring.

Surprisingly the special edition Stillens are the valuable ones, time to sell the Lexus and get one?

RabidRat 12-17-2023 10:03 AM

You sure showed him :p.

So how was the coffee at Isetta, now that you're making anericanos at home using specialty beans? "This flavor profile isn't local enough!! Roast it again you muppet."?

JDMDreams 12-17-2023 10:20 AM

Can you even drive with the top down now? Must be cold as f

Nah man with the wind deflector and windows up = a balmy 25 degrees inside the car and zero wind penetration. Heated seats on, heated steering wheel and hot air from the neckwarmers behind the headrest = too warm for even a jacket
