300Z vs. Eclipse GSX

[22Jimnz]

Love Nissan and their amazing Z's. I own a 98 gst. Got to love DSM all day though...

[XManiiAkX]

thats funny cause my when i drive my little bros 300zx twin turbo it smokes all eclipse.

[BOOSTDZ]

He must not have much done to that Z.. and that Eclipse probably has alot done. He only clock a 12.21... kinda sucks.... I have intake, exhaust,intercoolers, 530 turbos, injectors on a drivable tune and ran an 11.76 at 17 psi.

[RiDeOrDiE1807]

GSX took it, Awd gave it a better launch

[DatManGsx]

Surprised that spoiler didn't get that GSX into the 10s ;)

[arich357]

@DatManGsx Lol!

[TOXIKKOBK]

nah man... as much as i hate it the eclipse did win. you can see the clock light up on him. looks like a high 11 and the 300z got a baby 12

[andrew190e]

300zx won

[scott473]

HUH? Are you blind, you can clearly see the gsx lights came on first. Not by much but they did. lol

[dsmer125]

The GSX won plain and simple, I'd run my talon against a Z any day with zero worries

[DaRkSyLuX925]

@dsmer125 Talons are good of the line

[xbartosx]

i wonder what the gsx has done to it cause a stock gsx is slower then a stock z. nice run but i would have liked to see a better launch from the z. it needs a better lsd the stock ones suck balls.

[Khazid]

@xbartosx  i really dont think the lsd was stock but he was on his second set of axles for the day already

[xbartosx]

holy crap thats some rough luck.

[Khazid]

yeah, if this is the year i think it was they had just repayed the track too, he wasnt the only one snappin axles. it was happening left and right

[SpasticAbasia]

@xbartosx It's due to the fact that the GSX is AWD versus RWD on the Z.

[TheRickRod]

I always loved the 300zx but MITSUBEATYOU....By a bad start..

[aHXCbro]

no 4g63 faster? GTFO of here with your dumbass. Btw the gsx won you idiot.

[TheErich6969]

a Ka24det?!?! Really thats the best you have?! Are you an idiot! You say a KA cant be fucked with, why pick such a POS powerplant huh?! Now if you were trying to talk rb26 maybe you would only look like a little fag instead of a huge fag! 4g's have been known for huge power since day 1!

Oh and as far as nismo tuned cant be beat...I take it you never saw a Sound Performance tuned Supra mk4 before have you?!

[nisman93]

lol... dont get mad because im tellin the truth...lol

[nisman93]

nismo tuned by the right person.... it cant be beat. If u got someone workin on the engine and dont kno what the hell they doin then thats when nissan lose races. end of story.

[papaown]

Wow, you truely are an idiot, learn something about cars before you make an idiotic post like that. "no 4g63 faster than a nissan motor", learn shit before you make a comment. I actually prefer the 300zx to the gsx. Grow up.

[slimshadie1290]

You kinda just sound mad or jelous? You give little facts suporting your opinion. You fear of what you dont know. Dont worry, you have time to grow up. ;)

[papaown]

Mad or "jealous" <-- which you meant to say, I don't see how giving a basic fact is sounding mad or jealous. I love both cars, but look at what he said dumbass.

[nisman93]

the 300zx wooped that eclipes ass. Ant no 4g36 faster than a nissan motor. Especially not the ka24det, it cant be fucked wit.

[evan1170]

no 4g36 is faster!?!?!!?!?!?!?!? hahahahaha..... talk to AMS about that one

[foxfreak259]

try brent rau's 6.97 1/4 in a 4g63t, 4 cyclinder at that!

[cinedova]

the gsx won...

[MIKE420PRO]

GSX was pretty fast

[anime891]

That wing is still rice as hell though. Not sure if he's putting that shit as a joke or is he really serious.

[TheAnixSkater]

my neighbor has a beast 300zx, hes constantly working on it.

[54spiritedwill54]

I prefer the eclipse, just cause I personally love the 4g63, but 300z's are still beasts.

[anime891]

Stock 300zx vs stock GSX, the 300zx would have murdered it. Props to the GSX though, that was a fast one.

[brettsvn]

no it woundnt, it might beat it but not even close to murdering

[anime891]

Stock GSX's runs low 15's quarter mile.

1992 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 5.7 14.2

1993 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 5.2 13.8

1994 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 6.0 14.4

1995 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 5.5 13.9

[brettsvn]

ok smart guy i didnt say with a shitty driver in the gsx and a good driver in the 300zx if you do a little more research there are plenty of bone stock gsxs that will run a 14.8. WOW! a whole second faster that is the biggest murdering i have ever seen(and thats for you 300s fastest time)

[anime891]

Walk in the 1/4, murder in the long run.

[Jplumbe]

300zx are lame a stock 3000gt vr4(same class as 300zx) run low 12's stock

[anime891]

Rofl, ummm no you're wrong about the info. They run the same times.. The 3000gt I admit would be a little bit faster off the take off. No doubt about that since it's AWD.

[sgtsbre]

which car won kinda hard to see the timings?

[Khazid]

the eclipse won by a nose. the 300zx was pullin hard on him the whole track

[Club3g]

That GSX definitely sounded like shit but it was definitely no ricer. A true ricer is all show, no go and races like they're ''uber-fast''. A car that runs a 11-second 1/4 mile is definitely no ricer.

Learn the real definition people before you ever call a Honda, Ford, Chevy (there are definitely ''ricer'' Camaro's and Mustang's) or any car a ricer.

[kurtsbleached]

This is in Montgomery right? Same brent that's now running single turbo with alcohol?

[cLoke99]

rattle can exhaust LOL! yeah sounds like shit..

[MonokuroBooHokKan]

Who winned?

[Triple88a]

The eclipse won.

[MonokuroBooHokKan]

Eclipse was a nice car. Too bad it suck shit now.

[Triple88a]

yeah too many ricers are starting to drive cars that were good once. FYI, my definition of ricers is a car with a rattle can exhaust, maybe intake and maybe a body kit but the rest of the engine completely stock so it can compete with the soccer moms around town.

[MonokuroBooHokKan]

That was the last Eclipse that was good. New ones understeer like fuck and heavy.

[Triple88a]

oh yeah i know one of my friends has a 2004 or 5 eclipse.. that thing is over 4k lb.. i dont know how much the newest one is but they are like fat pigs.. and i know the difference between a heavy and light car.. i used to own a miata that was just a bit over 2k.. it was like a roller coaster even on the stock tires.

[Club3g]

You've got to be kidding right? The 2004 Eclipse RS/GS are under 3,000lbs. Please check your information before typing anything. Even the V6 model weighs under 3,200lbs.

[Triple88a]

04 or 05 GT... it says on the door 406x curb weight and i think 4500lb max load.

[nick87audionut]

Well in the base models, the 3g wins:

weight of the 2g GS= 2900 140hp

weight of the 3g GS= 2850 150hp

In the highline models, the 2g wins:

weight of the 2g GST= 3100 210hp

weight of the 3g GT= 3250 205hp

But all that really matters is that the 1g eclipse would destroy them all.

[Club3g]

The specs you typed are a little off. Here's the real specs. The 1ga's were from 90-91. The 2gb's were from 97-99. The 3ga's were from 2000 and some 2001. 1ga GS = 95hp and 2,572lbs 1ga GS 16v = 135hp and 2,678lbs 1ga GS-T = 190hp and 2,745lbs 1ga GSX = 195hp and 3,095lbs 2gb GS = 140hp and 2,855lbs 2gb GS-T = 210hp and 2,970lbs 2gb GSX = 210hp and 3,270lbs 3ga RS = 154hp and 2,935lbs 3ga GS = 154hp and 2,985lbs 3ga GT = 205hp and 3,120lbs.

[greenbean6]

btw bud the 95 96 eclipses were 2ga's

97-99 were the 2gb's

[Club3g]

And I said the 97-99 were 2gb's. Where was I wrong? Just wondering.....

I just didn't include the 2ga's.

[catduke3]

tha z car is twin turbo not single

[v3eclipseR]

i like em both!

eclipse for city driving (w/ weather conditions)

300zx for everything else.

[wh2936]

I owned both cars before and I like both of them

[paulcorbett50]

Not really your looking at AWD VS FWD and Twin Turbo vs singal, the reson the Z pulled at the end is cause Spooling time

[catback01]

i think 300z is RWD

[lth0221]

you got it right, it is a RWD.

[HermanKira]

The eclipse barely won it..because of his bad shifting...he could have won by more..

[Iskarn]

I prefer the eclipse, just cause I personally love the 4g63, but 300z's are still beasts.

[S13Sldewayz]

In the end......it's still just an eclipse. 1 of 1242398509358. AWD or not, it's still just an ordinary car. 300ZXs are a much much sexier car.

[Khazid]

agreed

[catback01]

i like the look of both

[recniabsal]

Is it just me that saw it or did the nissan 300z win at the end? Thats what I'm seeing cause it was far away and in the middle the eclipse had the lead but the 300z was pulling. Everyone is saying the eclipse won.

[Khazid]

the eclipse won by a hair, if they would have gone 60 more feet the Z32 would have pulled ahead. It was all about the hole shot.

[recniabsal]

Is the hole shot off the line? I noticed the eclipse had a way better start.

[Khazid]

yeah, the hole shot is who takes the light. thats an eclipse GSX so its awd turbo, they are basically a mild version of the evo.

[recniabsal]

Oh ok.

[pars0975]

eclipse gooddd

[sexydogass]

what is dsm?

[Disaster646]

diamond star motors..

[Khazid]

this was from last year and the 300 was pullin fast on the gsx. a little bit more room and he would have pulled past him

[Akakag3]

Sick, fuck DSMs

thats a punk's car

[gtairr]

Nah man fuck you.

subaru and hondas are for punk bitches.

[Timar123]

Sorry bro, but just handa ricer guys are bitches. Don't fuck with the subi :)

[IKE5327]

Isn't that the 9sec 300ZX?

[Khazid]

nope, he might be doing high 10s now, but that was a low 12. he had a tune on it once upon a time that could have run a 9 im sure, but it ripped the rear end out from under the car.

[IKE5327]

I hope to see more vidz of this Z!

[Jsmooth86]

Im sick of seeing imports drag racing. I want to see them do what they're made for. Seeing these 2 cars go head to head in a road race would be awsome. 2 great cars btw.

[Khazid]

thats what you will get to see when i get my rx7 running

[cmonsta95]

hahaaha 300 got pwned!!!

[grizzly373]

not really it was pretty even

[eclipsegsx765]

omg dude 2 of my favrite cars going head to head lol

[mariox07x]

should i get an 1990 with 87,000 miles no/turbo but it needs a paint jon front bottom bumper, and tires are not in perfect shap 5sp and it comes with new evo exhust, pullies, chip, chrome heads, and something else lol for 7,000 with parts and with out 5500 i told him 5000 with parts is the engine realiable? someone help please

[xmaneotisn]

not worth it for a non turbo one.

[paulddr]

go eclipse!!!!!!

[camthrop]

AWD rules but eventually a car with 2WD will catch up if they match in power.

[z99GSTrollinMCE99z]

that was sick

[BlackHellSpawn696]

AwD FTW DuDE!\m/\m/

[rajasai]

so who the fuk wins????

[Khazid]

the gsx took it by .04 seconds. the 300 was pullin on him the whole track, the GSX just got a huge jump at the line cause its da AWD
