Well first of all... Since your in Aussey.

Twin Turbo Zeds came in Two-Seater version, and Two-Plus-Two (two seats in the back) version. The Twin Turbos also came in Slicktop roof style.

In America though, Twin Turbo only came in Two-Seater. Yea, we suck.

Although since the Turbos are smaller on JDM Versions of the Zeds, your stock bhp will only be rated at 276bhp. The USDM Versions had 300bhp, due to bigger turbos.

Although the JDM Zeds only had 276bhp, there was much less lag, making for a much more fun sports car.

Anyways, I wouldnt recomend any 1989, 1990, or early year 1991 Zeds. The '89s, and '90s had valvetrain issues, and were prone to damage that could eventually lead to a dead VG30DE.

The early '91s just had electronic issues, nothing too serious, but enough to annoy the hell out of you. I would say go with a late '91, to any other year after that... Much less stress.

But as for your choice of vehicle, be forewarned, Zeds are a bitch to work on... Very hard. They can be very expensive to fix, and typically there are never any SMALL problems.

One hint of advice, dont be cheap... Change the timing belt as often as you can afford (practically, not every month or anything like that). Keep her maintained, and running good, and she'll be good to you...

everything samhain said. just make sure you don't mind living with something that is a sports car so that in turn has the characterisitics of a sports car, not practical, hard to work on, but in the end, it is all good because she will always put a smile on your face.

hey there brother! im also from sydney australia...which suburb you live in? heres a few tips...
-Z32 came in 2 seater and 4 seater(my advice is to get 2 seater,coz they are smaller and lighter then the 4 seater...that's why 2 seater nail 0-60 in 5 to 5.2 seconds...with the over weight 4 seater 0-60 5.4-5.5 seconds...theres a difference there)
-go for late 1991 at least...the engine is better with less problem
-300hp for manual and 280hp for auto..and yea im talking about twin turbo ofcourse...manual zed is much faster...coz one of my friend drive a 1992 Z32 twin turbo auto...the car go hard but not hard enough...my other friend beat him with his 1998 normal WRX...so can u see the big difference between auto and manual?...for phuck sake get a manual! wats the point of driving a twin turbo charge beast with an AUTO transmission..
-heating problem is the number one enemy of the Z32 TT...so a larger intercooler,electric fan,a better radiator and water injection kit are the solution
-timing belt need to be replace

i hope one day me and you can meet up and race...coz im gettin my Z32 twin turbo in 4 months

Both of you are making us AUSSIES (check the spelling Samhain ) look like dumbshits with your stupid 'wud', 'phuck' and 'wats' etc.
I'm from sydney too. However I'm not some fool from lakemba who dropped out of school at 14 and as such, I know how to spell basic english words like 'would', 'fuck' and 'whats'
Anyways, formalities aside, good stuff getting a Z32TT. When my car is back on the road I may have to race you both. Don't worry, it wont be all bad. I reckon z31 taillights look pretty nice.

Cheers.

wow!
There seems to be quite a few Z car people in Australia now. I am originally from Perth (on the west coast), and I never remembered seeing too many Z's before I moved to America.
Anyhoooo, congratulations to you guys getting your first Z's in the next couple months. You are gonna love them so much, and you'll be a Z freak for life!

For all you guys in Sydney i strongly urge you guys to get ur 300's in the sydney auto salon.......im sick of seeing no 300's, the last 300zx tt that entered the sydney auto salon was "yume" it made it to the final battle and guess what it won it! the last 300zx in the competion won the competion that says summin, oh n for u guys that duno wtf im talkin bout the auto salon is australia's biggest competion for modified cars, the competion is held in each major city and has a grand final, theres like 200 awards for diferent categories like sound,speed,looks, paint jobs etc.
oh n to mikeman we only speak like this on the net, we juz use shorten slang for words were not dumbfuks haha.....where about in sydney are all u guys from (the ones from sydney im talkin bout of course)

[ZedEx]

Im heading over to Sydney next year, for about 2 years or so, so that will be enough time for me to get a nice Zed32 Slicktop Twin Turbo, and roll with the other Zed Aficionados.
