Wow, well I was hoping it would run at least 14.7 consistently. I also expected 0-60 to be under 7. It wouldn't be hard to get there though. I still just can't believe how close those numbers are to a max. Thanks for the info guys.

if you are getting a TT for the love of god, i almost made the switch. Like had a deal worked out, car posted for sale, but in mass we have good winters and i need something reliable. in 2 years i will be a 93-94 as a second car and have it run 10's

That would be the obvious choice. I don't know about his situation and if he is indeed looking to get one. I still want a 300ZXTT. My friend found a red 300ZXTT for around $10-$11k. Too bad I didn't have the money. If I did, I would have got the car already. I understand what you mean. We can make our Maximas faster, but we could only do so much. With a 300ZXTT, the potential is incredible. My friend just got 3000GT VR4, so I want to get something to able to hang with him good. Sadly though, I know he can blow the doors off my Maxima. Even with a supercharger or NOS, I might only be able to just "hang" with him.

The gear ratios in a ZTT is not meant for drag racing plus the fact that the car weighs alot and you would have a hard time converting it to single turbo (which is prefered but is not really needed to run 10's). It can be done... but it takes alot of work.. better off modding a Supra TT to run 10's.

The max is nice, but this may be my last chance to have a truly cool car for a while. They are in the same price range, you just lose practicality with a 2 seater.

Even if you get a NA version, it has more potential than a Maxima. You could always put in a turbo afterward and upgrade the internals. I like the Max, but there are just so much you can do to it. So, if you can get it, go for it.

I was thinking of getting a 300zx but my father(he worked at nissan for 15 years) told me that all the pieces for the 300zx are expensive since the car was discontinued all the piece have to be imported. That was what threw me into the max. Also the Pathfinder always have electrical problems that was another nissan I was looking at.

I think it was a great coincidence at the Palace last week. The car in your sig is not the one I saw. I saw a maroon max with no tint, no sidelights, and I don't remember the headlight conversion. It had Konigs on it, but they were 5 spoke I think. That is crazy, what are the odds of that? That explains why I saw a girl getting in the car with you, because it wasn't you. That is some weird s**t.

That would explain it.
I did saw another fixed up Maxima there, don't remember the color, it could have been the one you saw. My car looks better, right?

check out the stillen upgrade chart for the car. 650hp turbos with a boost controller, ecu and intake, exhaust. That will get me into ten's for around 6k in mods ifyou get good prices.

Re: Re: Re: Cumalot
I agree with Skymax, it is very hard to work on the Nissan Z, compared to a Supra, on the Z boards the debate is always b/w the Z and the supra, but myself and many other Z owners as well know the Supra is a better mod for mod car. you can work on the Supra and not have to pull the entire engine. as skymax said I only know of kyles at SGP's that runs 10's and I think some other guy out of state. If you get a 2+2 and if your intentions are speed, you will regret your desicion, and as stated before it is very hard to do a TT engine to a N/A engine swap. A few ppl with the TT swap out the rear end with the N/A.... but back to my point, If you want a sports car the Supra is the best bang for the buck, and the Z will need lots of money to run 11.5's or less, and the Z's have a hard time getting traction. But if you really want a Z and want to make it fast, be ready to spends lots of money.
