Originally by: Bhaal You kids and your ****-box rice burners :(
I guess I'm just old.
Im 25, and thats Fair Lady Z to you sir! By the way, this baby will smoke your muscle any day son!
Well, I grew up in the 1980's as a youngster, and the 1966 Chevelle SS396 left quite an impression on me, so that is what I chose for my ride after I was all grown up with a job.

Yeah, I'm too old to understand the youngins' obsession with "jap" cars (no matter what asian country they are from) ;)
I'll finish my ride someday, life kinda gets in the way of that stuff sometimes...
EDIT: Oh, I am glad to see a 25 year old interested in working on cars at least. :)
It is about performance.
Same goes for muscle car vs pocket rockets. You can go fast in big car with big engine. Or you can go fast in small car because it is light and can accelerate fast. We, the people, get to choose.

you intend to simply replace the discs and pads or replace the callipers and tubing too? Brembo has some nice kits btw. ---

Very nice I hope you leave the exterior stock and with stock wheels it makes a change from seeing so many with cheap wheels and their owners attempting to replicate something from a fast and furious movie, usually badly to.

nice ride
whats your detail regime?
only thing that would annoy the hell out of me is the balancing weights on the outside of the rims.I would tell them to rebalance the wheels and put the weights on the inside.

I think you get better mileage with the new WV's TDI's
and they're actually spacey too. for example the new Jetta. ---

Most Likely Ztuner Big Brake kit. Hes my mechanic (the best, and only one I trust) so whatever he says, I do. Also, If I was to do wheels in which I plan to in the future possibly, I would pick these:

Nope, i am not a mechanic. I try to learn everything I possibly can when I work with my with mechanic. But the fact remains that I don't have the tools, nor a lift to complete the work. Harry, which is his name, knows the Z's like the back of his hand...
Have you seen the engine bay of a 300zx Twin turbo? You have to remove the engine just to get to the turbos. Here, I'll show you.
My engine bay
This isn't a project car, it has 45k original miles on it. I leave such things to the best so the car will last. I would have loved to know how to do all the stuff my mechanic does.. That would save me a ton of money in the past since I've owned 3 Z's.
Alias, I only know the basics such as oil, spark plugs, boost leak check, exhaust installation, brakes, intake, ect.. You know, common problems I can figure out and reach, and I can use my set of tools with.

now that I notice, must be a pain when you need to change the timing belts
also, the engine itself uses a roll-bar? ---

I had a 2 seater Nissan 300ZX TT exported from Japan to the UK where I live. It was a mortgage on wheels but I loved it. The zeds have real street presence. More so than say current Mercedes or BMW's sports cars. I had one for 2 1/2 years. One of the turbo popped when I was being heavy on the thottle and because I had a boost controller fitted. In hindsight trying to squeeze extra psi from stock turbos is not a good idea. In the end I sold it for parts. I did not want to sell it in poor condition.
The standard brakes on the zed are its weakest point. I would very much recommend a brake upgrade. I upgraded the headlights to HID lights to compensate for the diffusion caused by the sloped glass fronts.
With rear wheel drive sports cars you need to have a healthy amount of fear for the beasts. I hope your Nissan 300ZX brings you much enjoyment. Mine did for me

Thats a crossover bar. It's for fuel or air or both.
I was bored last night so I made this video. It was set at stock boost @ 9psi until I have her fine tuned.

The turbos/engine will handle the amount of increased PSI so long as you have the upgraded cooling, oil, exhaust so the turbos can breathe, and the right amount of air/fuel mixture.
