Default good bye sc400...hello 300zx!

just got a 94 300zx convertible today. it feels really wierd driving a 2 seater, its sooo small! it needed a little body work so i just dropped it off at the shop. i must say tho, its alot more "punchier" than my sc400. its in great shape but a non turbo. i would like to keep my sc400 and work on it later but my wife and i are expecting twins so i dont think she'll let me keep it. this is an awesome forum and i met some really cool peeps! so dont be surprised if i showed up at the next meet w/o a lexus.

Pics or bust. . .

I also wanted to transplant a VGTT into the convertable body. Sounds like a fun project

Yeah man the 300zx is a great car. Z1Motorsports in Ga has a widebody convertable that they swpped in the VG30tt into. Its pushing 1000+whp.
z1motorsports.com com is the website I think, they sell alot of upgrades for the 300zx.
Yeah man, where the pics at?

Love the car. But maintence on them will kill you. At least the 1990 model, maybe in 1994 they made them better. This was for a non-turbo.

Another of our long time members is jumping ship. At least it's for a car we all respect. Enjoy and hope you have the benjamins to keep her running.
