Hello i just purchased a 1990 300zx 2+2 i got it off some guy in long beach C.A. for 2800 it had two blown fuel injectors so it was runnin on four cylinders but its getting fixed at the moment i should get it back by tommorow. im new to the whole tunning erea so any help on what upgrades i should be lookin forward to would be alot of help.

 

Welcome to the board. Are you looking for performance mods or just looking to maintain the originality of the car? If you are looking for a turbo setup, ill save us all from the dreaded questions and just tell you now, you'll be looking at a motor swap for any turbo mods, unless you dont mind burning up your current one. Let us know more about your car, and maybe some pics.

As for additional information on your car, you should check out Rizz's links page Here, it has a lot of valuable information and good links to pretty much everything you'll need for your car.

 

umm im looking for performance mods im not sure if i wanna go turbo because the swap will probably cost to much . this is my first car im 18 and just looking to blow away all these litlle hondas around here.

 

i wanna post up picks and stuff but ther kind of dark and i dont know how to work this site im new to the computer thing too. kind of lame huh. i dont know much about z32s i was looking forward to an impreza but i just couldnt pass up this deal on this beautifull car.

 

read up on the linkpage
there's plenty of info to be had.
welcome to ZDriver.

Moved to 300ZX (Z32) Forums.

register with someone like photobucket.com and upload your pics, then you just copy and paste the url Welcome to Zdriver. This place is more addicting than sex

these pics arent all that great cuz its night but as soon as i get the car back ill put new ones. It feels like im waiting forever for my z im getting impatient.

 

Thats a small Z...you sure you coud fit in it

 

lol im 5'6 im sure ill manage. i test drove with the four cylinders and it will take some getting used to because of the hatch and its a low car im use to driving the 03 nissan altima so ill also have to get use to the 5 speed manuel. but i think ill manage.

 

i was just messing with you since your pics were small... i am 6'1 and i fit fine

 

yea im 5'7" and i had to sit in a 6'1" fixed nismo seat for a month
i missed a few gears sometimes cuz i couldnt reach too well

 

My bad B

 

no prob...i kinda miss those seats

 

I just installd thema week ago in what was supposed to be my new slicktop 300z but he doesn't want to sell it yet. the good news is i made the factory sliders work with it, so they are not set for a 6'1 guy

 

what would it take to make my n/a vg30 up to 300 horses

 

a vg30dett

 

just kidding... you want to get some headers, a little bit more free flowing exhaust, pulleys, intake, and get it all dyno/road tuned by a pro. also maybe some bigger fuel pump and injectors, and once again a good tune.

 

i agree with z wreker...

a good start would be ...
1.a high flow hard pipe intake- i got injen, but who ever is good
2.cat backs- i heard greddy sells good ones for the 2+2
3.ecu upgrade- jim wolf, ash spec, and others

then you can get into..
4. headers- amz(on sale now) and stillen are good
5. test pipe(replaces the cats)- who ever is on sale...its just pipes
6.light weight underdrive pully- most shops sell them like stillen, amz, conseptz ect.
7.a sport clutch- what ever is your taste. i got rps sport to handle what hp im expected to run. dont waste your money buying high hp clutches and you wont produce the power to use it.
8.light weight fly wheel- like the underdrive pully, it frees hp, not nesseserily gives you a gain. jim wolf, rps and others makes them. you might as well get it since you got the tranny off
9.throttle body mod- its free! just look for the restrictor by your throttle body and remove it. that will give you a full open throttle.
10.cams- just about everyone sells cams..jim wolf, stillen, jun
11.twin turbo injectors-their bigger than the NA, it will allow for higher fuel flow, so youll need them only if your goin to do #12
12. NAWWWWWWWWWS- the easiest way to get close to 300 hp

thats about all i can think of for bolt ons.... update me anyone if im missing something im doing an NA build myself which im almost there with all parts listed

then you can get more into it by boring out your motor and putting larger compression pistons... like an 11:1 ratio

good luck!
