Bye Bye Maxi HELLO 300ZX!
Well, after owning a maxima for 2 years I passed the love to Meccanoble. I just bought a 93 300zx 5spd with 80K miles in great condition from one owner. I will still attend meets and chill out here with the best 4 door sedan. 
You cant be mad cause its still a NISSAN. The best cars on earth!

Congrats on the purchase. Please post some pics if you haven't planned already. That car's styling is timeless. It's a great touring car. I still have a '95 300Zx brochure on my shelf and I still dream about it. I would like to score a nice black or pearl white 2+2 5 speed someday.

as if the TT ZX's wern't slow enough.. you bought a non turbo one 
good luck when those accord coupes out run you on the highway.. better yet.. when all those soccer moms and house wifes in their altima's, maxima's and accord sedan's blow your doors off on hte highway only one way i can describe this purchase 
damn homey.. you could have had a N/A MKIV or a TT FD3 for the same amount money.. someone pass me the hammer..

Sweet ride as far as looks. The 300 is one of the most striking cars ever.
My favorites:
Supra
NSX
RX-7
300z
I think that if Nissan would have modified the look of the car you have, the 350 would have made a much bigger impact. But Nissan's CEO said that Nissan is redesigning their cars to give them a new but common look that will represent the new Nissan. From the spy pictures of the new Maxima, and the styling of the altima and 350z, I would take the mid 90's Nissans anyday, alhtough I am a big fan of their engine progression.
I hope that Toyota doesn't go vanilla with their design of the Supra, like Nissan, and Mazda did with their replacements.

modified TT vs modified Turbo Maxima = Slow Z32TT
I am sorry.. but that car is slow.. the amount of money it takes to make a TT fast.. you could do way more with far less with a TT Supra.. Z's only look good.. they are not performance monsters

humm....by your statement it takes lots of $$$ to make a TT fast. It takes more $$$ to make a max as fast. ie $4000 for the turbo alone.
Don't get me wrong, I love my max.
As for speed/performance of my Z ask Jason (bigsaddler)
peace

when did this happen?!?!
damn Val,
Congrats on the new car.. personally, I would have kept with the original plan and had gotten a much newer car, more reliable and probably more practical not to mention better for insurance.. = 5th gen max.
But congrats.. i want to see it.

rebuilt the tranny and I've put less than $1000 in mods on it, and it'll out go, out stop, and out corner a stock TTZ.
I've got a friend with a 400+hp '93 TT. He only had me by about 5 cars to 120mph on the highway, from a 20mph roll. When I hit the brakes, he FLEW by me. we got back up to speed and I did it again.. by that point, his brakes were smoking like all get out and mine were just getting warmed up.
Zs are pretty, they're fast, they're expensive to own and mofidy, they're gas guzzlers, and hard to maintain.
But would I dump my Max in a hearbeat if I could afford to pick up a good one? Sure as Hell would!
I most likely have the same setup as the 93. I will agree that the stock brakes on the Z are not up to the task. Thats why mine are not stock
