I can't think of another car that has aged so well as the z32 , both in terms of performance and looks. Still has the same effect on me as it did in 1990. It's without doubt the most exciting car to come from Japan in the context of time.

[@v-dubsup9738]

You are so STUPID. On every Z32 page. Here, a gift: The 1994 - 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 was always easily faster than the Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo (my 1992 Z Twin Turbo lost to more 1G VR4s than I won by FAR). In 94 Mitsubishi gave the next gen all that it needed to beat anything but a Supra Twin Turbo from a roll. In Japan the MR model debuted in 1994, weighing only *67* lbs lighter due to deletion of Tuneable Exhaust, Active Aero and suspension settings. Funny - the 2G Stealth Twin Turbo weighed a svelte 3600 LBS and the 2G VR-4 weighed 3680-3740 LBS. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5y5pKSIa5ufmqc - *GTO MR ran 12.888 to 400m, barely beating out the R33 Skyline GTR* *Oh and it's debut where it beats the R32 Skyline GTR and losing over a mile* - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKjTpGaKi8h9g68 - it went 13.3 to 400m. *The Z32, called the FAIRLADY Z there, went to 400m in 14.75 even with the same HP/TQ numbers listed here* - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4jHaGOjmbuZl9E On the 276 rule - www.caranddriver.com/news/a15131963/japan-dumps-276-hp-pact-car-news/ kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXO3qJZunZKWpKs - MotorWeek, 1994 *1994 3000GT VR4, 0 - 60 in 4.9 and the quarter mile in 13.5@103mph* *MW couldn't get the Z faster than 13.7@103, so 3-4 car lengths ahead at the same trap speed.* www.motortrend.com/news/virtual-velocity/ MotorTrend, 1995 *300ZX Twin Turbo: 13.9@102.0 mph* *3000GT VR4: 13.5@101.6 mph* The Z is 4-6 car lengths away and moving .4s faster isn't passing up that much ET difference.

It lost by 2 SECONDS around a track to the: VR4 www.300zx.cl/ga/300zx/images/rtt07.jpg Seems the Z32 isn't all it's shaped up to be, it lost to a 250HP Corvette by a SECOND around a track *When all was said and done, the Cor­vette turned laps in the one-minute 38-second range, at an average speed of 64 mph, while the Nissan was almost a second per lap slower. "No big deal," you're saying? On the contrary. It is a big deal in a two-hour race. Far more important, the Corvette-with its hip-hugging seats, smooth power delivery, and neutral handling-is far easier to drive for long peri­ods at those speeds. To put the Cor­vette's racetrack prowess into per­spective, remember that the big V-8 produces 50 fewer horsepower than the twin-turbo terror* (LMAO) www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a15112003/1991-chevrolet-corvette-z51-fx3-vs-nissan-300zx-archived-comparison-test/

[@ethanmohoney6949]

Thanks Mac, appreciate it. As for future mods, I have a few projects in the works, just need to graduate and pay down my student loans first! The car is balanced pretty well right now, but the suspension and power train could use some refinement. After that, E85 conversion, finish my splitter/under tray/diffusor, and a standalone so I can learn to tune it myself. I also have another engine I'm going to build over time that will be higher compression (maybe 10:1), with Borg Warner EFR's, and hopefully a sequential gearset!

[@JohnDayberry]

Ethan Mohoney Say buddy nice vid. On your student loan issue my cousin had a $25K he contacted loan agent and negotiated his loan down to just $16K. Government desperate to get student loans cleared off books. Google it and maybe save a bundle plus time invested to pay off. Hope that helps buddy. Make a video of your Z going 0-60, slalom possibly and 1/4 mile, if you feel so inclined. Cheers!

[@ethanmohoney6949]

John Dayberry Thanks for the suggestion, and I plan on doing those types of tests once my suspension is dialed in. I don't think my 0-60 is very good, honestly. 1st gear is basically just wheel spin, but I'll see what I can do once it warms up here in WI.

[@ethanmohoney6949]

"Skip to 6:35 or 10:00 for the action." Is reading that hard for KZbin users?

[@MrGencyExit64]

Ethan Mohoney Who says I did not read that? You completely misinterpreted what I was saying. It was intended jokingly. However, a 15 minute video with zero dialog and about 45 seconds of title relevance can use some trimming. There's about 6 minutes worth of content on either side of 6:35 or 10:00 that will infuriate many impatient KZbinrs. In lieu of trimming, it is also possible to embed commentary and links in the video. For instance, at the start of the video you could link to 6:35. A lot of idiots on KZbin do not read a video's detailed description, particularly since you have to click "Show More" to read anything relevant a lot of the time. This is why you are getting a lot of vitriolic comments :-\

[@ethanmohoney6949]

MrGencyExit64 You're right, but I didn't upload this to cater to peoples entertainment "needs". I simply turned on the camera, happened to go fast a couple times, and thought maybe someone on here would enjoy it. Yes I should've edited it, but it honestly wasn't worth the effort. It is what it is.

what kind of suspension you running on that Z-32 car? Looks like it would be great for sex, but that would make me sea sick! That's why i love my OEM set up. I can put it on easy when taking my dogs for a ride or hit the switch to firm if i wanted to get her in the mood for sex, not that just being in the Z makes most women hot! I would go coil if i didn't have to crawl under to change them, and the elec ones cost way to much. How long does it take your eyes to see again after a ride with the car or her? hahaha PS: And for the azzholes who never drove a Z, Its never boring driving a Z! I'm sure its much nicer to sit here right (DisPlaced Cajun) watching videos and making chit comments to be driving a Z with a beautiful woman like his lol You could always dream about taking your mommy for a ride when you save up your allowance to buy a Honda! lol

[@ethanmohoney6949]

All relevant mods are in the description, and it's not as rough as it seems in the video. The OEM suspension is great, but you get to a point where a lower center of gravity, better suspension, and upgraded bushings greatly benefit the handling and predictability when you push the car a bit. I don't baby it (as you can tell), so having stronger components is also a must.
