Buying a 300ZX - Page 5 - Perth-WRX.com

Mate, I've had the privilige to drive both manual and auto 300zx and TT soarer on many occasions .. pretty much had a TT soarer every weekend for a year.

im 6 foot 5 ... try getting into a 2 plus 2 300zx and fit comfortably versus a TT... TT wins hands down.

The TT 1JZ GTE motor shits on a VG30 in terms of smoothness, reliability, serviceability, and in a straight line shootout would beat it. A TT 300zx has bigger brakes and handles better, but thats due to a TT soarers weight so it wins a track battle.

Styling is subjective, but both cars are hot when lowered on some good rims.

If I had to pick one to daily drive.... TT soarer hands down, similar priced these days too.

now go off back to your forum and help people out with there one of many 300zx problems...

close the thread.. waste of space

Wow, you fail at maths. 1490 = 2 tonnes? Guess the scoobies are 2 tonne monsters too then?

And for fucks sake go and learn English.

First was talking about the first page where someone said the "ceramic doohickeys" can give out in 300ZX turbos and then recommended soarers. Never accused you of that, if my thread was directly after yours, it was coincidence.

Second, my spelling was fine, maybe could of used a comma, but is that the best you can do?

And really, in the end those 0-100 times, as close as they are, wont mean diddly fucking squat when the road starts to bend.

Your right there. Those manufacturer times are often a little optimistic, same with fuel consumption figures. But all we can do is compare what we are told.

And depends on the bend. The ZX has a lower center of gravity and a wider wheelbase than the scooby so for a more gentle corner it could hold it's own, sharper corners you're probably right though.

Sorry. I don't speak retardese. Can you get someone to translate into meaningful English before you post, please?

You should offer your posting style to hospital operating theatres as a highly-effective alternative to unconsciousness-inducing medications.

The Anti-Moron software on my PC went crazy when I started to read your post. You could type every thing you know on the subject on back of a microscopic postage stamp and still have room leftover for a shopping list. Oh well, at least you only charge what your free advice is worth.

You are about as entertaining as watching grass grow in a windowbox. What do you do for a living? You are living, aren't you?

Maybe you wouldn't come across as such a jellyfish-sucking mental midget if you weren't intellectually slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through a vat of chunky peanut butter; if your weren't so fat that when you stand on the Speaking Scale, it screams, or if you didn't have a face designed exclusively for radio. Nah, of course you would.

In conclusion, as your clue meter is reading zero, lets see if this registers: Get lost, dickhead.

Righto a stock MANUAL TT soarer will crack under 6 for the ton, an auto about 6. to 6.7s.
A 300ZX (when brand new should have done 5.5 to 5.7) also generates a heap of torque which is what makes it useless on the twisties as far as lap times go but great if you want some drift. Only problem is when you drift it, the fact it weighs heaps more than a 180SX etc as well as having a very short wheelbase means it is extremely hard to control, especially if it's got HICAS. Yea you can bypass it and all that but ultimitely it's a sleek looking car for posers with small cocks and big wallets. Now they are so cheap because they are old, generate way too much underbonnet heat and everyone knows what a pain in the arse they are to work on. After saying that, I personally think they were a nice looking car. They just got 'dated' really quickly

You're a funny boy. When you have finished yr 10, look me up and I'll see if I can get you a job as a labourer, as you obviously aren't qualified for any work involving any type of thinking.

Do you see why we don't point out peoples spelling and grammatical mistakes on forums? Most people try to get the meaning of the post, though it is obvious you find this hard, as logical thought processes seem to elude you.
