Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Basically looking for a car with out a turbo but has good hp. 170+. Basically, I like the body styles on these cars and what not. Reliable? Pricy to fix? Pricy upfront cost? Easy to modify? Any suggestions would be nice. Any other car suggestions would be nice. 4g's is all I'm looking to spend. Trading in a 01 Buick regal so I'm not getting a ton of cash out of it.

Buck531 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Want to trade it in? Anything wrong with it? GS? LS? Mileage? I might be interested . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Movit Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Reliable? the n/a isnt too bad Pricy to fix? YEAH. unless you can get the parts for cheap and can deal with the horribly small engine bay Pricy upfront cost? kinda Easy to modify? yeah but its not really practical if you buy an N/A. you'll never get above 300whp Any suggestions would be nice. Any other car suggestions would be nice. 4g's is all I'm looking to spend. i'd say stay away unless you have money to keep her up. You can probably find a faster car for less than a Z. Although there is nothing like owning a Z. I loved that car to death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renner Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 A $4000 90-96 300ZX non-turbo will typically have higher miles and most likely require a bit of money and work to maintain. If you are mechanically inclined, this is not much of an issue. If you have to pay for labor, it will probably nickel and dime you to death. If you have money for mods, spend it on a newer/lower mileage car instead. Save up and get the nicest one you can find, it will be worth it. I have owned a 91TTZ and a 94TTZ, loved them both. I will probably buy another one someday, clean ones are getting harder to find though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
launchin1st Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 how about an older z? i have many to choose from. i have clean 76 280z. stock hp is 170 and 177 ft lbs. cheap to maintane and upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeGT Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 just get an older z and put a sbc in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I would like some suggestions on some nice cars then pushing good HP with around 100k miles. I would prefer RWD or AWD but not picky. Manual is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
launchin1st Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 just get an older z and put a sbc in it. i believe it is a sin to sbc a old z. sr20det it or rb26dett it instead. keep the nissan gods happy this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s13 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 You should try not to crash the cars you already own first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoolin_s14 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 get a 240sx they are easy to fix and rather reliable plus they can make you a over night drift king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Thanks for the help but I'm definitely not interested in any type of Honda/ Acura. 240 sounds nice but would like to have a turbo in one of those.

6 Speed S4 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Don't buy a 300zx unless you have money to maintain it. Repairs can get expensive especially with 100K+ miles on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 There so hard to find with low mileage. All that I have found have like 140k on them. I need something with close to 100k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey2721 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I like my 85 Z. Its N/A with around 85,xxx on the clock. There is a silver eighty something Z for sale here. I havent looked at it friends have told me about it. You could get it really cheap. It is said to be in good physical condition. Although I am not sure if it will move all that well.
