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!

 

hell mother ****in yeah

 

Nice Val cant wait to see it.

 

Congrats on the new purchase man

Can you post some pics up?

later....

 

I will

 

Congrats man! You now own one of the best-looking coupes ever made IMO. Was your Max a 5spd? Is the 300ZX as quick as the Max was?
-Cyrus

 

what color

 

Congrats man, stop by someday, I want to check it out.

 

TT?

 

nope. non-turbo.

 

NO!

 

his 300z faster than MY CAR??? i don't think so...hahaha

great purchase man, hope to race u soon

 

You should have got the turbo model. Unless you're not really into go and more into show. Then I'll understand.

 

awsome choice man,there are two on my campus and I just stare in awe when i see it, lets see some pics soon, goodluck with it. p.s. are you gonna mod it at all??

 

 

 

 

There are two at my work that I walk by everyday and even though they're not turbos I still love the styling.

Plus, it's RWD.

 

congrats on the purchase val =)

too bad your sports car is gonna get waxed by the car you sold. jk =)

 

HELL Fukcing YE!!!

 

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.

 

that's only cus no 6=spd G35 sedan's have hit the streets yet

good choice i almost bought one like 457476 times.

 

Dont be fooled by the 2+2. Its has an extra USELESS seat but you loose interior space for yourself.

 

wow - great taste in cars - i think i'd take a 300ZX over a supra anyday.........just cause of the looks..... post pics up- how much ya get it for if uya dont mind sharing?

 

FI>>>>>DOLLLA!

 

congrats man...

those are really extremely beautiful cars...they really catch your eye when driving by them.

i think they are one of the best looking cars on the road with body kits...do it up!

 

Insurance purposes

 

guess your the "222hpkilla" now.

 

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..

 

Ah....TT slow??? WTF. I guess you need a ride in mine.

 

 

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.

 

stock TT = slow
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.

 

Zs CAN be made to perform extremely well, but the maintenance and mod costs are horrendous. $2k to replace the turbos, which seems to be common at around 100k miles. there's NOTHING on my car that costs that much, aside from the tranny- and it lasted 160k on the OE clutch (or until three weeks after I bought 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!

 

lets see I have only 49K on my 91TT so what will happen when I get to 100K 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

 

Are you saying your car is faster than a stock TTZ?

 

Makes me miss MY 90 TTZ...

 

are we going to factor in initial cost? i mean you can't leave this a half assed survey.. i mean.. the cost of a 95 ZTT vs a 95 Maxima.. its obvious you could buy a turbo kit for the 95 maxima with money left over.. so shall we dig deeper into this conversation? or do you want to just leave it as is?
