500 HP Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo | The Perfect Street Build?

[@RussellRobinson77]

The Z32 is one of the best looking cars ever!

[@philagee]

Automobile Magazine had it in their top 25 most beautiful cars of all time from an article in 2006. On top of that, it was the youngest car, with a 1979 Jaguar XJ6 being the next youngest.

[@andydercandy]

Russell Robinson YESS !!!

[@gmachine9688]

But what if i want more power

[@sunilayya8948]

In 1990 it was the best looking car on the road this side of a ferrari

[@TheFirstCause]

The car has aged incredibly well for a car designed and released in the late 80s. In many ways the car actually even looks kind of futurists... TODAY. The rear end and tail lights almost look like a variation on LED strip lights found on everything today. When modded with a tasteful widebody kit it really pushes the car into absolute visual perfection.

[@philspaghet]

Now to spend the rest of the day looking for used 300zx TT craigslist ads for no particular reason XD

[@ImJustKindaHere]

My first car was a 300ZX TT, it's never left my sight and I'll never sell it. Patrick (owner of this Z) was right, it's not difficult to work on but it just takes time. From my experience, it's this time that you put working on the car that makes you love the Z even more. Beautiful car Patrick.

[@alienboya]

Damn straight bro, funny how this guy's name is Patrick cause my name is Patrick as well lol. I too have a white 1990 Z32TT with 400WHP.

[@ImJustKindaHere]

alienboya Nice. It still amazes me how a 25 year old car is still walking away from most modern day cars

[@alienboya]

I know exactly what you mean, lots of cars here where I live can;t even touch me. Its 26 years old and still looks like its new and modern, honestly it looks better than most cars today.

[@jawkcow5792]

Pain in the ass working on them tho I gotta say from personal experience

[@robertbidochon7949]

Japanese engineering! : )

[@mburchell]

Owner wishing for a new, twin turbo, 400HP Z car... I think Nissan management must have watched this one.

[@ItsMikeArre]

Probably one of the best Z cars ever

[@DtRockstar1]

I remember when the 300ZX was in production. I absolutely loved it along with the Dodge Stealth, 3000GT VR-4, NSX, and MR2.

[@dylanmccallister6739]

the vr4 was AWD with all wheel steering and came with 340hp from the factory. if you got the 3000gt vr4 spyder, it had doors like the lambo with a fold up hardtop that went into the trunk. this car is only rwd, with 300hp and normal steering. vr4 any day over this.

[@DOHC2L]

"...if you got the 3000gt vr4 spyder, it had doors like the lambo with a fold up hardtop that went into the trunk." No, the 3000GT 'Spyder' was never produced as a VR4. 'Spyders' were rated ~290 to 305hp NA. The hard top folded in half (inward) and stored beneath the trunk lid which raised and lowered automatically - ala the Mercedes style. And it did not have 'Lambo' style doors!!! The 3000GT Spyder sticker price = $79,999. Mitsubishi ruled out a VR4 option because the sticker price would have been over $100K and they didn't want to compete with Ferrari.

[@BenjiXbass]

This car has rear wheel steering as well, not just normal steering.

[@user-zm4fe7fs9p]

You are mistaken, the VR4 Spyder did indeed exist and remains a fairly affordable, rare car from the 90s. Somewhere around 900 were imported between 95-96. The conversion to convertible took place in the US but was delivered to the Mitz dealership as a VR4 Spyder. Correct on the lack of Lambo doors. My car: 94 RX7 Twin Turbo.

[@brendanj1124]

the kind of cars that have you jumping in your seat as a kid xD

[@audiwankenobi361]

this ride is timeless.

[@Drizzyluke]

It looks so modern

[@mdoe8]

+lukk lluk it does not look modern at all....which is not a bad thing. I would say more that it still looks amazing today

[@doctajuice]

+Audiwan Kenobi i personally think the z32 is the best looking car ever to come out of japan.

[@doctajuice]

said me, already.

[@tunein7456]

doctajuice Supra

[@BrasspineappleProductions]

I remember watching this video a few months ago, I was saying to myself, I wish I could get one of these cars!,.... So, I went on craigslist, found one, and bought it!. Its an N/A, but I like it non-the-less. and of course I plan on rebuilding it as any such owner would.

[@MrLikeaboss71]

did you build it

[@BrasspineappleProductions]

@@MrLikeaboss71 The car sustained major damage due to an accident a few years ago. I considered repairing it, but decided to sell it instead. These cars on average require a lot of maintenance and investment to keep running properly.

[@MrLikeaboss71]

@@BrasspineappleProductions sorry to hear that mate. I’m lucky my 86 didn’t get totalled when I crashed it

[@zzxx33mh]

The Z32 is diffenetly one of best sport car came from the rising sun in last century..she born beautiful..

[@supercooled]

This car was much better than the 350z/370z.

[@gravityhammer25]

+supercooled *IS much better

[@jtk8701]

I don't think so

[@komanellithegod2775]

Certainly more herald as the king of the 90s and most awarded sports car of the decade....

[@EXPLOSIVO1129]

The fog light ducts and TWINZ nose piece are a good combo on this car.

[@fwijffels]

Finally a built turbo car with the intention of usable power!

[@Stripping_Bolts]

420hp, that's BLAZING fast

[@427ci3]

maybe for you

[@Stripping_Bolts]

Tee Z You clearly didn't get the joke..

[@cadbane1093]

it's actually a good number. gotta remember, built and not bought

[@hiddenkard3101]

That's what the 09 GTR put down. It was BLAZING fast for its weight and time, do you remember? And so is this nearly 30 yo car.

[@cartergarnon6299]

lol don't be jelly. A 427 Corvette has 505hp to the crank, this is somewhere between 495 and 505 to the crank on 15psi, all he has to do is turn that little knob next to the clock a tad to the right and he's at 600 crank,. What he's saying is he has absolutely no use for it because 400 wheel is absolutely perfect for spirited street driving and canyon carving. You don't always need a sledgehammer, sometimes you need a scalpel.

[@dreh605]

I just have to say...the commentary, cars, camera work, music...everything is on point. The cream rises to the top. Nice work.

[@KalvinMalli]

Dude the editing on your videos are epic... Keep it up man.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

+Kalvin Malli (ThatBurgundy240) Thank you!

[@rickmoises]

dude this video is 8 years old and i got this video on my feed today holy nostalgia

[@jackrios4040]

Recently I was looking for a tt ZX but there were none and I ended up buying a VR4. A week later, a tt ZX appears for sale 🙃🙃 but I don’t regret buying the vr4. The car is faster than I thought and so it was definitely a win regardless of which car I bought. Both are gems of their time.

[@mdoe8]

I don't own one but i think it is One of the most underrated cars out there. I may get one some day.

[@ThePsychoGamer1337]

Hey man dont knock on the 2+2's! Its actually the better chassis as it doesn't get the twitchiness the 2 seaters get when theyre low on gas. In fact, Stillen used the 2+2 for their IMSA car as the long wheel base made a much stabler ride

[@themastermaster8514]

khan brah facts the 2+2 is better it handles better and have a longer wheel base he was wrong about that part

[@Eyeolus]

@@themastermaster8514 2+2 does not handle "better". Not sure where this internet myth comes from. Also the IMSA car wasn't a 2+2 either, custom space frame with a wheelbase close to it, but the fuel tank is relocated in front of the rear wheels like the 2 seater, not behind like the 2+2.

[@themastermaster8514]

Relativity well what do you prefer coupe or 2+2?

[@39PSIOnTheDaily]

“It’s actually a better chassis”. ... No. Slicktop’s are the best Z32 chassis. SWB + rigid + lighter weight + low centre of gravity = Best performance, albeit most difficult to drive at the limit.

[@midas7394]

We loved your presentation. Anyone can see that this beauty is definitely fun to drive ....... especially on a day to day basis. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThePavin]

Loving the multiple angles in car while you're driving especially from behind. Gives a good idea of speed!

[@thedrizzle1978]

Very well done Z32, nice and clean. To me the Z32 300ZX, Starion, GTO/3000GT and SW20 MR2 are some of the most forgotten JDM cars. Where I stay, you barely see any of these gems. Magazines very rarely touch these cars unfortunately. As usual, nice vid. Before I bought my SW22, I was looking for a TT 300ZX, but to no avail. A TT 300Z or a 5-speed SC300 is what I might end up with later on.

[@spooler7828]

[@shawnalbarghouthi4113]

Z32 is still the best looking car on the planet

[@svtman93]

My friend has a twin turbo Z just like this, and he had to do an engine pull just to change the alternator.... lol. So i think when he says "its not that bad" to work, its HUGE understatement lmao. The engine bays in these things are way too tight.

[@patrickstankiewicz1345]

Replacing the Alternator does NOT require an engine pull...its a PITA to do because it's at the bottom, but its not that bad, and it didn't take me very long to do. The only stuff that really requires an engine pull is an issue with the turbos, exhaust manifolds, egr, or knock sensor. All 4 of those would be easiest done with the motor out. Everything else is very doable with the engine in. Oh an the engine harness..if you decide to replace that you should yank it as well lol

[@svtman93]

so still a various amount of things that require an engine pull...... lol

[@R32LMedition]

[@aaronwlkr]

They are not as hard to work on as everyone makes them out to be. That is mostly crap talk that was started by old school techs. They were used to working on big American cars you could sit inside the engine bay and still have room to work. As a full time master, and Z32 owner, the only thing that makes them hard to work on IMO is that because of the age, some things (hoses, connectors, and what not) are on the brittle side. Most modern cars these days are much more annoying to repair.

[@aydentheninja877]

And a bit of 303 sprayed on those hoses will make em last another 20 years things like the plus and valves are a bit different and people shit em selves you just need good skinny hands and patients to own a 300

[@rockyroad8514]

That is a really clean and well done car.

[@mrmeadowsiscool]

Z32 getting the attention is deserves! @Roads Untraveled... cant wait for you guys to check out my 1jz z32!

[@kdscustoms6344]

I do find it rather interesting when people say the newer Z isn't as good cause it lacks turbos. I'm pretty certain the z32 is the only Z that ever had turbos so if anything its the odd one. Up till the z31 they were always just a NA straight six then the z31 was an NA v6. If the 370 had turbos and 400+ hp I think it might steal sales from the GTR.... I like this guys 300zx though very clean and kept simple, something I'd personally own myself.

You're wrong with two plus two looks just as good as the two seater.
