1990-1991 Nissan 300ZX

[Clockwork]

I'm interested in finding a Nissan 300ZX, manual, from the 1990 to 1991 time period. I'm not in any kind of hurry to buy one but I'm looking for a good project car and settled on the Z32 despite its notoriously tight engine area. Looking for one that is clean without scrapes, dings, etc.

Deal. What are you doing with it?

 

[ChunkyMonkey]

13b streetport with 6 puck clutch and full exhaust, weight reduction suspension(street driveable and legal). Then I can tow you back with the Tundra after handing you a tissue, lol....j/j.

A 13B has like... 202-210hp?

 

[ChunkyMonkey]

only if turbo. 13b is usually around 130/135.....But lighter and a little more numble in the corners. I want this one for a good track car and some Beat the Heat racing. My goal is to get 350-450 out of it. My buddy has 673hp from his.

A Z32 is 300hp stock... 'course I'd like to get like 700 out of one. You replacing parts with carbon fiber for less weight?

 

[ChunkyMonkey]

Interior and more race prepped, although I plan on having a radio, lol....I've already pulled the a/c and all components too. A friend of mine does great engine work on rotaries, he'll be doing mine. I know I'll get at least 350, that'll be a good amount for the strip and track. Debating whether I stay carb'd or go with an engine management system. Rotaries aren't as hard to reliable power out of.

Don't rotaries get terrible gas mileage? Not that it matters, as it's a project, and that much power in a lightweight car will be badass! I've always wanted a small car to put a 302 out of a fox inside of.

 

[ChunkyMonkey]

My 1st Gen Rx7 got 20-22mpg. If you do the pedal mod, it's great.....a.k.a....knowing that the throttle will work in other positions than the floorboard, lol

 

[Jakashh]

triple post? WTF Is going on here?

 

[Jakashh]

double post! read beloww

 

[Jakashh]

Hah! Our 99-04 stangs also have that gas pedal mod to cut the slack in the pedal. Zip ties, plastic tube, and a knife, right? It's great, but mines has worn out and is showing slack again. Such a difference the first time you do it.

That's a massive port job to be getting 350 BHP out of the engine. You using an S4/S5 motor as the basis or an REW?

I've always wanted a S5 Turbo II.

I might be getting an AE86 Trueno, too...

+1... I was going to suggest only looking at the turbo models. Really nice cars and I've always wanted one. A little on the heavy side, tho.

 

[Clockwork]

The Z32s are heavy, but I intend to do a lot of lightening over time with the project. As money permits.

 

[ChunkyMonkey]

It's a 91 S5. My friend can do any port in his garage. My build wants to be based on my motor, but have been thinking of the REW with a big single turbo.

Very nice
