I know that they're hard to deal with, but how are 300zxs performance wise?

I'm not sure how fast a v6 Accord is, but I am certain a v6 Camry is faster. We used to have entire threads dedicated to this exact topic.

The TT's have some decent legs in a straight line, bit more of a GT car though.

I desperately want a 300zx, but saw a guy a little older than me selling his because now that he was off his licence restrictions he wanted an upgrade, how much does the weight affect them performance wise?

They're wide and short. No good for going sideways and they can be pretty hard to bring back once the rear end kicks out. Handle really nice because of how wide they are and you can run decent size wheels and tyres on them. TT has plenty of balls, N/A is always going to be shit.

adding to that, first thing you should do when you get one, get a bigger brake kit
the stock brakes on the Z32 are a joke

damn, kinda suspected they would be shitty at skids or drifts :(

are TT's more expensive to maintain or unreliable at all?

As im thinking about getting a supra but i like that i hardly see 300zx's getting around and think they are more individual, are they almost comparable in terms of speed? good on the track?

all turbo cars by nature are more expensive but reliability-wise, that all depends on what condition you get yours and how well the previous owner took care of it

Turbo supporting mods, so like intercooler etc.
exhaust, also aesthetic mods like spoiler, paint, body, lights
Really want it sounding mint and going fast, maybe be able to take it to the track one day

The stock turbos can make it close to 400whp. I think the intercooler and maybe the fuel can make it that far too. They can go fast for almost no money.

modding mine wasn't too difficult until you had to get into bowels or back of the engine block (like doing the coolant bypass), stuff like the injectors, o2 sensor and couple of other things are harder than they should be due to limited space
exhaust was easy
spoiler was easy
lights you have to be careful to get the right headlight style but if you're paying a least a little attention you'll be fine

Problem I always found with the Z32's here in Australia was they overheat.
Thicker core radiator and twin thermos usually sorted that out, get a set of thin fans and it also frees up a bit more space up front. The alternators are also universally shit, they get too much heat in them and tend to die every 50-70,000km

I paid $2800 for the car when I first got it from some idiot in Texas who didn't know what he was doing; over the past 7 or so years, I've dropped maybe $7k in mods and restoration (new transmission, engine mods, new paint, driveshaft and rear differential replacement, etc) but my last project was valve cover gaskets, which lead to replacement injectors, which lead to VTC solenoids...a $100 job ended up costing around $900 but the engine is probably good for 300k miles at 480hp at 18 psi boost pressure

Ok I recently bought a Z32, I want to make it faster, what things should I do to the car? It is NA and I already changed the alternator. two of the injectors dont work, I'm currently working on that.

you could do a turbo conversion but it would almost be easier to do a full engine swap with one that has the turbos stock
while you're doing the injectors, grind some of the plenum back on injectors 5 & 6 and replace the bolts with allen heads, it will save you so much time working on the car in the future when you have to do valve covers and stuff

These guys pretty much have it down. The twin turbo is a fairly well rounded performance car and I think they're beautiful cars. The NA is kinda garbage, too slow and fat for performance and shitty MPGs for a shitbox. The twin turbo model in good condition can run you well over 10k, you can find an NA in good condition for like $2500.

Also forgot to mention, if you do go twin turbo, prepare to get like 6 MPG average.

not a fan of the Z31 at least from a functionality standpoint (love the body though)
if it was my money, I would go with the 240sx assuming I could find one in decent condtion

NA Z, yes. Turbo Z31, on the other hand, is probably better. You can get a surprising amount of power outta that thing. Yeah, its got pretty medieval suspension, but people have figured out how to fix that.

Possibly. It'd be a lot of work, though. I'd say it'd be cheaper to just swap a TT engine in.

M8 have you seen how cramped the engine bay is? Of course it's possible but it is very difficult. If you plan on gutting the NA engine, you could just do a full swap. There are plenty of good engines out there that do the Z32 justice. All memes aside, you could go LS1, SR20, 2jz, or vh45. But after all that work, you could just spend a few more bucks and try to find a factory twin turbo.

For power Z all the way. Even the n/a engines with higher cr can hold over 400whp. The Z has poor rear supension though, but it can swapped for the 240sx rear suspension. Thus would give it the same suspensiin of the 240. The 300zx still wouldnt handle as wel though due to its dimensions and weight, but it would be pretty close

Hell, you could even throw an RB series in there. Nissan made mounts for it for the Z31.
