The deal fell through on the G35. The dealer started to d*ck me around this that and the other thing and i just walked out on the deal and said forget about it. There was a 1990 300ZX tt 5-spd with 104K right in the town i live in. It's been there for months and i just called up told him i wanted it and picked it up last night. Installed a custom intake on it last night. I'll prolly keep it for about a year and see if they make a turbo G35 and make the Z into a race car. The inside is mint, everything else on it seems good. I'll have the chip and exhaust on it soon, 400+hp. I'll keep you guys updated.

 

Shoulda gotten a '99-02 Camaro SS 6spd Steve. For some reason I think that car would suit you perfectly. Looks mean, sounds mean, factory fast and very tuneable. Plus you could probubly find one for not too much $$$.

Anyways be carefull, I hear the Turbo's need replacing around 120,000 miles on average.

 

time to update your sig then...

also, nice car

 

thats not bad news, thats good news! a 300ZX TT, my fantasy car

 

my fantasy car also, almost had a 90 TT 5 spd. black on black leather. Called insurance and they said they would'nt even give me a policy (i was 17) so I got the closest nissan, a maxima

 

hehe i wouldnt say closest, more like the closest thing to a sports car you could get that will be insured, heheh, if i had the money, i'd pay nissan to make one more 300ZX custom for me

 

Best of luck Steve.

Do some weight reduction. They are not the lighter sports cars.

 

turbo upgrades

 

lol, should be there in 2 days, its been 3 days. Give it some time, if its been a week then i can understand but sheesh j/king but sheesh...ah

 

you and your damn SLOWmaros. Other than them being gawd awful ugly, they sound raspy, not mean, and have you seen the interiors?!?! Their right on par with the pintos, chevetes, geo's and such. The 300ZX TT is a much more liveable car interior wise...nice choice for now...

greddy put a turbo in a 350 i was reading about today in motor trend putting close to 400 at the crank i think, they said the g35 is next.

 

yes, this is true. it ran a 12.7 as well. according the greddy, they just need to make a few tweaks, so it can fit right up to a G35.

and if it fits a g35, why not a 2k2+ maxima??

 

You sounded pretty confident that time when I posted the thread about how long its been taking frankencar to send out their intakes to their customers. Of course, when I asked you if you would be willing to put the title to you're car up on it, that was a different story.

 

98-02

most likely my next car (keeping max as a daily car ).. that or the 67-69 or 70-73






anyways, on the Z.. what color?

 

any plans for your 2005 and 2006 cars you are going to buy yet?

 

1st gen camaro

 

yep.. '69 Z28 with the 302.

They had one on Car and Driver TV today. I have always wanted one of those.

 

I'll still race ya.

 

Yeah I saw that too, those are sweet but Id personally rather have the Camero with the ZL1 427 in it now THAT is 850cfm carb, 12.5:1 comp ratio, and an insane cam stock rated at a detuned 425hp slap on some headers and you get youself an easy 600. Too bad only 69 of those motors were put in the camero and two in the same year vette 71 total.

 

I'll glady take the Black 2k3 Cobra and own 99.9 % of the org... ! .... Thats before mods...Nice choice Steve, I almost got one 5 years back, but salesman asked me " Can you afford this car "... right before I almost beat him into the ground...

 

Thats pathetic on the salesmans part Id walk right out as well...

 

so would i if i had a couple hundred grand,

mustang is a great looking car, but the rest of the package leaves something to be desired- yes i know its 390hp and 390 torque, but im a fan of n/a engine performance

 

I know they arnt cheap Id still rather have that 427 to work with the 302 revs like hell but that 427 ive always loved for some reason

 

Get an ASHspec ECU, you WON'T regret it. Cheaper than JWT and way better. Go to twinturbo.net and search. Congrats on your purchase.

 

This is usually where someone tries to argue with me about Chevrolet making a 302.

 

302 is the way to go. It's significantly lighter than the 427 and that's much of why it performs just like the 427 plus it revs to 7000+rpms.

There are rumors floating around that the next Camaro (yes, there will be one) will sport a high revving 302 in place of the 5.7. Sounds good to me.

ok sounds good i'll definetly look into it.
email at steve@frankencar.com sometime i'd like to talk to you about our 1990 300ZX TT's. i'm new to the 300ZX game, hope you can help me in my quest to mod.

 

Hmmm...I have a friend that would be interested...where/how did you hear this rumor?

 

You've got mail!

 

RWD is always a good start....

congrats on the purchase.

 

If they make something like that it's likely to just be a 5.0 liter variant of the LS1 or Vortech series of small blocks. And many people do not know that the LS1 and LS6 are not 350's.

 

nice choice

 

Steve, do some research on the '90 valve/valve springs. I believe there was a problem that Nissan fixed for post '90 models.

 

so you mean you've waited a whole 4 days.. oh the horror!!

not that this thread is on-topic or anything anyway, but instead of whoring it up b1tching about your intake not coming yet, email or call him instead.. it'd probably be easier for you and a waste of less org resources

wJ

and to stay somewhat on topic.. congrats on the new car, have fun with it.. but that sucks not getting the g35, i keep seeing them and loving it more and more

 

:

 

once i get the car cleaned up a little i'll get you guys some pics.

Nope, they're a MUCH smaller 346CI But 350 sounds better! And the 5.0 that's likely to come along is essentialy just a 302. I know that it will be slightly smaller, but pretty darn close.
