i got an 84 and only one wheel wonmders once inm a while but 99 out of 100 its both actually i think only 2 times that it only spun 1 wheel so i dont know maybe they put a lsd in it maybe its just seized togehter or maybe its the sideways mothion


but any way i got a race for you i pulled up to a teg one day and asked my buddy if he thought i could take it (any normal day hed be like jee i wonder ass hole , he gets pissed at me always be sarcastic), but ironicly he says i dont know about this one, i look over and youd almost swear he had aa christmas tree in there it was so lit up with gauges i was like woaw, so i rev up any way thrird time a charm slide it in 3rd and dump the clutch we take off and as i grab 4th i wait for him to fly by and in the mid range of 4th i look back hes dropped way back
i ask my buddie if he thought he stepped on it, he said right the moment before i dumped my clutch his heart dropped he lunged ahead(only about a foot i didnt even notice in my periferial) and then he said and then you just jogged away.... i was like jogged?? as in walked he was like no much more thanb a walk but he was trying so you only jogged.

also raced a z32 tt in my 86 na or should i say i got him to floor it.....it was kinda funny cuz i knowq him and he knows me but at the time he didnt know that i had a z any way we both left the mall (about 45 minutes from aur town) when i wa sgetting on the highway (sharpo ass wrap around turn) it was funny cuz i lovew to drive fast o cornewrs and rumor has it he cant , so anyway im squirelling (all 4 tires wirl) around the corner and the kid thats with me is liike your gonna eat him up i told to shut up itas a tt runnin 15 psi with an exhaust, intake(filter), and an ecu and you think i can take him ... about then hes hiottin the hioghway and im grabbin 4th(about 85) he zips passed ands my buddie is like what did you slow down for you can smoke him io was like hey duesh bag i never let off but anyway i pass him and he follwows me the whole way home then he passes just before our exit it was funny i followed him and we webnt the same way for like 10 min. i think he thought i wasa following hi i was just goin downm town and he started gettin it it was funny cuz in town i was chewin him, like i said fast corners
any way i saw him a few weeks later and i was in my 50th and asked if he wqanted to race he said i already smoked you i was like this ones turbo na,med a coukle of the moids (left out the weight reduction) and he was like no i still smoke you but i think i fried something that night it hasnt been running right

You've got something wrong, then...only ones that came with LSD from the factory are 87-89 turbos. If you had an LSD, one wheel would NEVER spin...both would ALWAYS spin.

You need to use punctuation, man. Reading your posts are difficult. Do you type something like that and look at it and say "good enough" and click "submit", or do you not even know what you're typing?

[DeleriousZ]

don't even bother brent, we've all tried to tell him... most of us just skip over his posts...

[longlivetheZ]

Jeez...good to know I'm not the only one that is aggrivated by that. Might as well type posts like this...

Iliketotypesonoonecanreadmyshitit'sfuncuzI'mamoron ...it's actually difficult for me TO type like that.

Hahahahaha well i have a fairly different stort as to how i got my Z....

When i had decided i needed to get a faster car after getting sick of my lancer, i decided that importing a car from Japan was a fantastic idea that could save me thousands rather than buying a car locally. I started off looking for an MR2 turbo because i really love the styling of them. And because it was only a 2 seater i wouldnt have my mates begging me for lifts all the time. It happens when you the only one with a nice car....

Anyway i was getting pretty frustrated because i coulndt find an MR2 that i liked. Then i was browsing at another website and they had a sexy black GT4 Celica ready to be imported that was hideously cheap. I called them up within 5 minutes of seeing this car and bought it

When importing cars you pay the cost of the actual car upfront and the shipping, tax, compliance etc when it comes in. So it only cost me $2500 upfront for the GT4. I had started off with $11000 so i still had $8500 left over till the GT4 came in. I was thinking about putting it into shares or something till the GT4 arrived but i thought that this might be a bit risky. I was browing the importing site again a few weeks affter purchasing the GT4 and i started noticing how cheap Z32 300zxs were and this got me thinking.... If i buy a Z32 and bring it in i could get it on road for about $12,000AUS... they sell locally for $16,000. that would be a $4000 non taxible profit.

So i found me a nice red Z32 300zx 5spd man, bilstein suspension, chipped, one owner vehicle jsut coming up for auction in 2 days time. I placed my bid and to my surprise... I won. I paid the $7500 for the FOB cost ands settled in for the wait for it to come in.

5 months later it arrived on my door step. It was a little bit dirty from the trip over here from japan but it was in pretty good condition still. I got a new battery installed the next day and took her for a quick spin around the park, grinning from ear to ear. The only problem i could see with the car was that while it could accelerate incredibly fast, the brakes sucked which made it kind of dangerous. Once i got the brakes remachined and new performance pads put on she stopped like a rock.

I have to say even though i got my 300zx in purely to make a profit out of it, I am incredibly impressed with this car. Its outright ball tearing speed, and incredibly handling make for an awesome car. I cant say i was expecting the car to be this good.

That's the best story I've heard on here so far. I guess you kept it?

Well if you like Jap imports, then Australia is the place to be.... aside from japan. R32 skyline GTSTs from about $7,000 AUS, R33 GTSTs $14,000AUS, Z32s, $14,000AUS. The only Japanese car that there is more of than over here would be the GTO (3000gt) next to none of them over here.

Yes ive kept it do far. Its just goes so fast... I cant believe it. I did not expect it to be nearly this fast. Taking it on the track would be pretty awesome too. The suspension on my car is pretty insane. Its just too hard to sell it.

I LOVE japanese cars. I've been around them for a long time...them and Porsche...my dad's looking for his 4th Porsche and I'm looking for my 4th Z car. He's a Porsche guy...I'm a Z guy... Even though the first car I ever drove was one of his Porsche 944. I'd like to move to Japan, but the language barrier kinda freaks me out. The native language is english in aus, isn't it? I just wouldn't even know the first step to take in trying to move somewhere that far away...

I don't blame you, man. I'd find it hard to sell too, I'm sure.

[DeleriousZ]

they don't speak english in australia man... that's definitely not english.... hell it's almost as bad as scotland down there.. can't understand a freaking word they're saying lol

[longlivetheZ]

lol...while typing that post, I almost put "english or something there about", but ended up deciding against it for whatever reason...lol...should have put it. Still has to be easier than Japanese.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!

Yes we do speak english in Australia I have no idea how to go about moving to Australia but i have heard it can be pretty hard to get into here. My girlfriend is South African and i remember her telling m that they were on the waiting list to get in for quite a while. But i have no to say if do get in here, its well worth it!

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Strangely enough scottish accents are quite often confused with Australian accents by foreigners. I dont know why. We sound sooooooo different. Australian accents are easy to understand. I dont know what your all bitching about.

[k3smostwanted]

hell, i cant understand some of the english in the United States.

have you guys ever heard of "Larry the Cable Guy"...i swear some of the words that come out of his mouth were pulled right out of a cow's a**.

then you have that ghetto slang that shouldnt even be considered a form or accent of english. just jibberish surrounded by a few words that actually pertain to the conversation.

then you have Spanglish...its where half the words out of somebodies mouth will be in English and the other half will be in Spanish. this makes for a confusing conversation... "Wasup? Me llamo is Bob...me like thees chica ova herre. muy muy pretty!!!"

we had a new employee hired today and i was chosen to give him a quick tour of the plant, mainly because i walked in late. anyways, this guy says to me, and i s**t you not..."how long you worked in dis hiya???, yall's be making dem stacks ova in da otha side???"

needless to say i looked at him and said..."Would you like me to escort you to the restroom?"

he said in return..."naw, why you say dat dere?"

i just looked at him and shook my head and said "nevermind" eventhough i wanted to say...'so you can spit the rest of that s**t out of your dirty mouth'.

well i thought it was funny and definitely made me feel like i actually accomplished something in my 13 years of school.

[longlivetheZ]

I HATE people that talk like that. Some girl that used to work for me had her own damn language all together. I used to ask her all the time, "can you translate that for me, please?" I seriously had no idea what she was saying sometimes. It's just so tacky.

[stephenp]

ok, so instead of actually periods, and capital letters, i use commas. Is it that hard to understand. Does this make it a bit easier. I have always used run ons, for the simple reason that all of it pertains to the previous statement (also i forgot i also use parenthasies). But i always thought it flowed nicely, and was rather easy to read. sorry from now on ill try harder. boy we all are quite criticle to. sorry for the inconvenience.
