gaz1 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 yeah i nearly bought one, seen it loved it ,looking for one then...........................................................................................................................................................................................................along came a supra:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 It's an impressive machine. ...save for the 4x4 complications and weight... .........save for the engine sitting 90degrees wrong, so the second turbo is squeezed between cyl bank and firewall ...............and the electronics that die with alarming frequency and are a nightmare to diagnose. Apart from that it's not bad an attempt for that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-K Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 in the same way the Supra ( jap import) has a FLARE in the passenger footwell ,the 3000gt has an "auto-ejector seat for driver",basicaly the roof comes off and the drivers seat is forced upwards out of the car in emergencies - these randomly go off every few years,. make sure its in working order lovely cars tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulrik Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I had one for about a year. Sold it in order to buy the supra. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/627079 Some nice pictures on my old homepage. Check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Looks-wise I prefer the 300zx by a long shot. I think it's even prettier than the Supra from some angles. (appearances are subjective though) But for the 3000GTO I can find no redeeming features. Heavy as hell, and I was trying to troubleshoot one for a friend to no avail. The underbonnet heat is inevitable from the flawed design, half of the electrics and many of the rubbers and plastics are destined to be cooked from the way they've packaged turbo#2. Turbocharging that engine was an unwise move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(appearances are subjective though) I bet your favorite TV prog is still Miami Vice too?

Soop Dogg Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I like the 3000GT. I was on a track day last Sunday and had a friend driving one behind me. I was on the limit through the corners and he was all over me like a rash! Thank god for the straight bits where I stomped away from him! (Until I got it all out of shape in a hairpin and he got past....DOH!) Got MUCH more respect for these cars now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I bet your favorite TV prog is still Miami Vice too? I love it. OK, it's flashy and corny and the undercover cops move around in a white Ferrari with 2-hours worth of blowdry:d Men&Motors have been airing all episodes for some months now, I'm recording them all to DVD since they haven't come out commercially (except series 1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
