This is my car, it is a 1991 J-Spec Nissan 300zx TT.

I have had it for nearly 3 years and love driving it. I have been married 18 years with two kids and was ready for something a little more special than the BMW/Mondeo/Vectra company car. I have always loved the old Datsun 240z/260z, I lost interest when the 280z and 300zx/Z31 were introduced but the Z32 is a superb car for the low purchase money and with some modifications runs quite fast. No apologies to those out there that like their cars spoiler-less I don't I like them in your face, even 911's used to have a whale tail!. I would have gone for a TVR but when I was looking the Griffith and Tuscan were just too expensive. It runs 455+bhp at the flywheel with the engine and ancilliaries modifications. I use it everyday on my 80 mile a day round trip commute and with it being a reasonable 2+2 get to take the family out in it at weekends. I have had a 13.12sec at Santa Pod and have enjoyed wasting a set of Toyos, front brake pads and boiled the brake fluid at Donington recently. The Z32 does not have the stunning looks of the TVR Tuscan S but it will do me until I can afford one. Of course if anyone has a Tuscan S and wants to swap, just say the word! OK I have lit the blue touch paper now waiting for the explosion.......
