Thinking about buying...NA 300zx

[DementedPuppy]

Ok, im thinking about buying an N/A 300zx, but i got a few questions.

First off, im having trouble deciding between the eclipse and 300zx.

Next, hows insurance on the N/A, i know itll be reeeeal high, but how high?

Do i have any chance of making it fast? I read about the supercharger deal, but don't want to sacrifice my a/c. Would it be better to get the TT engine somehow or TT it, or just get one big turbo?

Ok, how much will these mods cost? Also, whats a good price for the car, ive been shopping around but im not sure whats a good deal, what to look for as far as problems, stuff like that. Im paying for it by myself and cant work fulltime, so prices here a definately a big issue.

Thanks in advance everyone

Good call my friend! If you want more of a reliable car for less go with the n/a. If you want a lot higher insurence and not as reliable of an engine go with the TT. You can crank out a lot more power out of the TT, but most of the TT's in your price range will be high milage and/or dogged out. the n/a engines have gone over 200,000 and are still going with regular upkeep. There is plenty available for both cars, check out STILLEN.com & JimWolfTechnology.com. They are your best bet for parts. Some can be expensive, but they are high quality.

TwinTurboing an n/a is possible, but it is a lot more trouble and $$$ than it is worth. They made a single turbo car in Japan...I dont know if you can convert it though...I will look into that. Supercharging...sorry I need my A/C!

I have a 95' n/a I have done a lot of work to...I am pushing around 270hp at the wheels. I listed all my mods in here some place. The first of the year I am dropping in a J-spec TwinTurbo engine in my car. I am keeping all the mods that I can, and I should be around 440hp @ the rear wheels! I will then go Viper hunting!

Well good luck!:sun:
