Thought i would share some pics of my 85 300zx

Recommended Posts

Hi guys

I have owned my E30 for about 6 months now and before i had that i was looking for a project car, and i came across the Z31 300zx that is my "Turbo Rocket" its a 3.0 V6 turbo never ending project

MY E30 is my Daily Car

As you can see i am in the process of doing a lot including a full engine rebuild as a well as doing new suspension bushings, new shocks new springs all around. Oh forgot the panel paint and new carpet in the interior.

And hopefully a mod to help fix the massive rear camber ( semi trailing arm setup )

while i love my E30 this car just makes me smile as soon as i get inside it. and its quite rare in NZ too

Most were auto and 2+2 , i got lucky with a manual Turbo 2 seater :rolleyes:

Most

With cams and a turbo upgrade these cars will quite easily do 400hp+ if you have a good fuel/ignition setup

Thats Awesome Dude, My old next door neighbor built one of these and severely stripped it and modified it.

Fastest Car I have ever been in!! and ever driven!!

It's got the original red paint job and last time i saw it was at herbets race fabrication in albany.

He also had a gold t-top which was pretty pimp too, autotragic and stock but still quick as!

Ollie

I have a dyno graph for one of these cars doing 452 hp on stock pistons !

Mine is a non T top but that suits me as it has a stiffer chassis.

they are very popular in America a lot of modified examples there That car has done 320,000 kms and was still going strong before i pulled it apart

I test drove one of these before I test drove my first e30. If it hadn't been full of rust I doubt I'd be a member here today - was way cool. (apart from the rust).
