Well I finally said good by to my old 300ZX. Great car, I had it for 10 years. I pulled every nut and bolt on that car apart at least once. Looks stock on the outside but pretty highly modified on the inside. Fastest car I've ever driven! My boys were very sad to see it go. They have been handing me wrenches for the past few years and they loved that car. In fact, rides in the Z were the only thing that worked as a reward when potty training them. Strange but true.

Anyways, the new owner of the car let me take a few snaps of the boys and the Z before he drove it away...



Now on to the G! It's a blank canvas ready for modification. I can't wait!

 

Must've felt like letting one of your kids go eh? Congrats on the new G though, any plans on getting her boosted?

 

yep, boost is in her future. I just have to figure what flavour.

 

Only flavor available so far is GTM You're left with choosing a stage number though haha

 

i love the 300zx. ive always wanted it as a kid. it's hard to find a good one around these days though

 

Agreed, they are simply too complex to keep on the road after they get on in years. Old, simple, muscle cars are great! Old, high tech sports cars are a maintenance nightmare.

 

i had a black tt when they first came out. i'll have to agree that it was the fastest car i owned. bought a used maroon one and sold it a couple years ago. yours was pretty nice.

 

I think we will see more FI solutions join the party in the next few months and if someone can figure out how to hack the timing and valve control system it will open up a whole new set of tuning possibilities.

 

I had big turbos, big injectors, big intercoolers, etc, etc. Very quick car. Sometimes it feels like the G is towing a trailer compared to it but that's nothing a little boost can't solve.

 

such a beautiful car

 

Very nice Z!

Just wondering, how much did you let her go for?

 

I got $6K for the Z, It had 180 000 miles on it. Much less cash than I would have got 2 years ago but the bottom fell out of the market for cars like this.

You can get some awesome deals on fairly low mile 300zx's right now on e-bay.

 

DIGI.... you should come out to our meet on Sunday at 6:30. Uptown Park. Its a bit of a ritual for the G37/35 owners here in Houston.

 

wOw! Only if I could pick one up in that condition with that price here.

 

I had a 94 NA 300ZX. Most beautiful car to come out of Japan.
