I used to have one of these, bloody brilliant car, not the best handling and the standard brakes liked to cook themselves a fair bit but sooo much torque and a stupidly high top end.

Not to mention styling and interior lightyears ahead of its time. I like the work you did on the dash, I spent a day soldering in blue LEDs to mine, how did you do yours?

Have you modded the engine / upped the boost yet? if you're not already get on 300zx.co.uk excellent crowd there (well there was a couple of years ago) and a wealth of expertise and knowledge and DIY guides for all but the most complex mechanical stuff!

I really would love to have one of these as a daily drive to complement the TVR!

p.s have a look at a 2000 spec (i think thats what there called) front bumper, they really modernise the front end of the car!

is that at the wheels figures or a flywheel estimate?

Impressive either way!

they look awesome in profile, such a classic GT shape! much nicer than the supra IMHO.

Thats at the fly, I am really expecting above 400bhp at the fly now with the extra work ive done since the dyno, I am now sorting out the rear handling by going for harder subframe bushes and uprated anti roll bars.I am playing around with the twin round headlight conversion but not sure on wether that would ruin it as the headlights are part of what makes it.Thx for your comments bud, love the tailpipes on tour tuscan, might go for something like that on mine.
