My 501bhp/499lbft Nissan wide bodied 300zx twin turbo

[Bazzajg]

Heres my 300zx which I bought back in 2003. When I bought it, it was just a standard Auto car. Now after many thousands spent on it. It now looks like this. Hope you like.

Since photos, I have sold the reg that I had.

Long time favourite of mine. Glad to see you havn't put a daft spoiler on it.

[The Nur]

The wheels aren't my cup of tea, love the rest though

eta: the front grille nostrilly/Camaro thingy doesn't really float my boat either, but seeing as I didn't notice it the first time I looked it I musyt just be being fussy

[Ryko]

I'm sure I saw this in the classifieds yesterday.

[TheHeretic]

Very nice. Love the shape of the 300. Not keen on the little vents between the lights. Runners the lines a bit, but lovely car.

You'd be right. It was advertised 16 days ago.

I'm a fan of these, modified subtly and with this kind of power, are very quick. I agree with the praise for not adding a large spoiler too.

[Codswallop]

Love the 300zx - looks great and even the interior is better than the typical jap designs from the period. Yours has been tastefully modified too (though I agree that the grill between the lights isn't the best).

[wolfy1988]

Hmmm lovely!

I also agree with the vent comments, they look like air horns being red.

The brakes look amazing!

How do you open the doors? Hidden button a la TVR or remote?

[Bazzajg]

Guys, thanks for the positive comments. Since I have completed the car, I havent really used it, so it hasnt been seen at any shows. Only known a little on the 300zx.co.uk site. Recently got married, so my priorities have changed. Wanted to show it off a little while I still have it.

Wolfy, yes, I have had TVR buttons fitted to activate solenoids.

I know the 300zx isnt to everyones taste, but think it still looks modern for a 1990 car. Wanted to keep clean lines so went with the wide body, removed handles, aerial, rear wash wipe and no spoiler.

Yes, agree a little on the nose panel, but it is there for a purpose, it does allow air across the top of the radiator.

Quick photo of the brakes.

[chuntington101]

what mods have you carried out to the engine?

[N88]

Lovely. Good to see it modified subtly. Spec list?

[D4MJT]

Does your registration end in HTA, and did I pass you heading southbound on the a1 north of Morpeth this morning?

Really nice, definitely the nicest 300ZX I think I've ever seen.

Got any pics of the interior?
