New 86 300zx

By Greasedmonkey
- Mon Jan 03, 2011 12:33 am #231055 Well guys, I got a new car for christmas. Its a car I have been trying to get for a while now. Ive had one before and missed it a lot.

Its a Red Nissan 300zx Non-turbo Automatic. It has 147,000 miles on it and the body is in a good condition. One small rust spot under the spare tire well.

This will now be my daily and profect car. My first step away from hondas. As much as I can get while still having the others.

On with the pics.



Plans for the car are:

New bushings all around (poly)
New wheels and tires. ( got a set of stock turbo 16s)
Get it legal and reliable and then save for the next step of fun.

Which is.

Stance Coilovers 11k/9k
Sway Bars
5 Speed swap
Turbo swap
Wheels 18x10/12 0 offset.Image

It looks awesome! May still rub a little under acceleration. Years ago my brother had an 85 300zx turbo with 18's and they rubbed when I got on it.

Man, that car brings back some memories................. When my brother deployed back in 96, he had a 300zx turbo he had to leave behind, and I kinda jacked it. That car was the first time I ever hit triple digits while driving.

Does your car have the air suspension?

Some came with adjustable suspension, mainly the loaded Turbo models.

If this cant happen, you need to go wider...

Skyline steering wheels fit perfect and look so nice in those z's
'86 is such a good year

Edit: my buddy had gotten almost 20psi before he cracked every piston and torqued every head bolt. It was on his '86 300z
