New Car! 86 Nissan Fairlady 300zx 2+2 Non-turbo

We gave up with my S-10, so we are selling it as a parts truck and bought a fairlady z! ...x

Anyhow, here it is, i was getting a little intoxicated with the exaust leak.

Thats a nice z and all but not fast at all, i had that same car, color, 5sp and all and still got whooped by an old 4cy 240sx, it was just slow as fuck, but t tops were cool and the dd gauges to, but i sold it to by an 87 irocz28 350tpi, now that real power.

Very Nice Good Sir. <3 the stock radio :)

k, the tune was not of any brand, it was a homemade one at the shop, my exhaust still had the cat and giant muffler

[williamshaw3rd]

also, get a performance clutch for it, they help stick to the flywheel at a higher resistance (newsflash, lol)

scratch that, 88 tranny from the turbo model (whoops) but still

btw, thats pretty sad that yours tops out at 130, i'm sry for ur loss. take it to a shop, remove any governor, and make sure ur tires can handle it, i was stupid when i did it, and could've killed myself easy. check if ur muffler is clogged too, mine simply had a cutout i never showed anyone...

[williamshaw3rd]

well i've only found TT's is all i'm saying. i know the 280 had a straight 6 all the way back to the 240's & my z tops out @ 167 cause it isn't stock, plus had it dyno tuned. i can text you a pic of the speedo. i had a friend that rode with me when i took it up to 145, then he mysteriously got uncomfortable, so he can back me up, i had the 89's tranny fitted to my 86 block, had a lightwieght driveshaft milled for me at a truck shop in Detroit, & the rear was out of a 87 turbo. anymore Q's?

[williamshaw3rd]

actually, ur thinking of the single turbo 280zx, the predecessor to the nissan Z. its a light ass car in my opinion. it drives light.

[williamshaw3rd]

So yea, they drive well, i could smoke the first 3 gears, so its light. if you were planing on keeping it awhile but still have fun, i would suggest getting bigger wheels and lower profile tires, the suspension should absorb most of the shock. if u get the TT model, it has adjustable suspension. the NA model new tops out at 160, mine, with the tranny/rear end swap and light drive shaft and the 120k topped out at 167. :) definantly get it, i can give you pointers...i foolishly traded mine...

[williamshaw3rd]

dude, if u hav the chance to get one, do it. if its like really cheap, check the radiator and the rear subframe connectors, i got mine with both of those shot for $1500 popped those guts in there and went zoom. the throttle response is awesome at least on the stick. mine didn't originally come with a stick, it was converted from the TT model's 5 speed as well as the rear end. If u need help finding parts, i know where to go, just ask. Do u have any good pics and info on the one ur lookin at?
