Probably lose my licence or kill myself in it though. Currently have a '90 300zx NA 2+2. 100k kms, near mint original with a couple changes. Billy boat exhaust (only because the OEM was NLA) and a stereo upgrade. Piece of shit Bose that was a dumb idea. Had to remove the interior to do it. Would love to find a good condition North American TT and massage it to 600hp, but they are hard to find and stupid $$. Maybe Covid will help me out on that one.

They're still a pretty sexy car Father in law had a 2 plus 2, brother in law had a convertible. Fully restored, by them, down to the last bolt. Sold both for decent money. Still in demand. Sexy beasts, ahead of their time, just not my cup of British tea. Edited May 17, 2020 by Voodoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas. Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 300zx's are super nice. Typical over complicated Japanese 90's but still awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is company that makes a conversion to put Chevy LS engines in the 300zx which really solves the problems of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted May 18, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hmmm, $100k? Maybe a '69 Z28, or a '70 Mach 1. Not really a car guy. Truthfully I'd probably build one of these. There is a kit for the graphics now so you can turn any Bronco into a Chromatic paint scheme. I had sold mine 25 years ago to buy a work truck that I started my business with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing is an early 90's computer with wheels and an engine...some of it uselessly complicated like the radio, anti-lock brakes and the climate controls. No super hicas thank god. For a '90 it's pretty high tech, although dated now. Mine still works as made, but I have to do injector replacement. Everything on this car to be maintained or repaired is many times more hours to do on much else of the era. The OEM service manual for the electronics is just brutal for diagnosis... but I got lucky in the 80's and went to both auto shop and computer class...pretty much skipped everything else lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have hit both of them....and there ain't much from the 80's car scene that are worth remembering. Had an '85 300zx na, bought in around '93...handled pretty good but the HP was lacking. I reconsider..GM had the GNX and ford had the 5.0 mustangs...they didn't handle worth a shit but they have a cult following and some level of performance that made people look again in the 80's...those 5 litre mustangs made the jeeps look good for handling..but they did go quick in a straight line.

Voodoo Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 For sure. The last sport bike I owned was a '89 zx 10..bike I could not afford at 19 years old...good for 280 kmh rung right out...140 hp. New version of that bike is 200hp and at least 100 pounds less....the super bike of that version is pretty crazy. This is a not the production machine but still pretty cool.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
