mkirby Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Was too cheap to miss out on so i picked this up yesterday. Its a 1995 300zx swb twin turbo slicktop so about the rarest you can get Its stage 1 tuned so exhaust, filter, decat, chip and boost controller. Needs a few niggles sorting and i want to do a few little things to it like fit 99 spec lights and bumper, change the rims but apart from that it runs and drive spot on Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 99 spec lights?, I didn't realise they were still being made in 99. Looks like a nice example though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobgoblin Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Always fancied one of them. I think I will soon sell my Mitsi VR4 and get one, either that or the Mitsi GTO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nissans can't be that unreliable surely?? H. dont believe everything you hear, yes they can be unreliable but there an old car now so most of the reliability issues come with worn parts but if you find a good one with decent mileage and been well looked after there as reliable as any other jap cat. main issue with them is cooling, they run very hot in the bay but a few mods can sort this easily. worse thing about them is tuning them, you can get them to 370 ish easily but after this its hard damm work, anything to do with the turbos etc is engine out job. i still think in standard form there one of the nicest looking cars on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adnanshah247 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 really liked that car but found it a lil bulky and heavy. so what mods you got planned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkirby Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 really liked that car but found it a lil bulky and heavy. so what mods you got planned? the swb slicktop is lighter and does feel alot smaller but ive not had chance to drive it properly yet. mod wise gonna keep it pretty simple, a few appearance mods, a few repairs, mot and a good service power wise its running around 320 bhp at 0.7 bar so gonna up that to just under 1 bar so aruond the 350-360 bhp mark and enjoy the car for a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
