Not a Prelude, but what else is new? - Honda Prelude Forum

Stats:

1991 Fairlady Z 2+2 Twin Turbo

Got it earlier this year - it was in **** shape. It's been in the shop / getting tinkered with for at least 4 months now. It's still nowhere near done but it's road-worthy enough that I've plated it.

Kakimoto Racing Cat-back
JWT Popcharger Intake
dual Blitz BOV's
Tanabe Race Springs
Nismo Euro-Spec Massive oil-cooler
XTD Stage III clutch (going away soon, I didn't install it)
Enkei WDM 18x8.5 +35F and 18x9.5 +42R wheels
Kumho Ecsta MX 245/40 F 275/35 R tyres
CZP Short-shifter with solid bushings
Powertrix HICAS elimination kit
Energy Suspension poly bushings
All Royal Purple / Redline fluids
EGR deleted, AIR system deleted
Ghetto Greddy front bumper, previous owner didn't love it much

Parts in my room not installed:

Tein Type FLEX coilovers
Sparco Roadster II seats + harnesses

Future: Redo brakes, paint, replace mouldings around all glass, replace Greddy front, install FMIC, replace BOV's to proper location, mild stereo

I kind of fell in love with the car again this week. It may be heavy and may not be a 12 sec car but it's got enough potential with bolt-ons for me and is so much fun to drive with the T-tops off. Beautiful cruising car.

I've always loved the 300ZX, but i stayed away from them since i've heard horror stories of maintenance due to the location of the twin turbos and how everything is crammed in there.

EDIT: Although i just realized yours is RHD. The stories i speak of are from LHD (US Ver.) 300ZX's

The RHD ones are equally as painful to own.

eh, I like them as a touring car. other than that, they suck.

I've always had a soft spot for the Z32, great looking car. But aren't they heavy as?

I've always been a fan of the Nissan Z's. The black on black is sick witted 2!

I LOVE THAT CAR! I didn't know they were 6 speed

That looks really clean. My buddy just picked one up. Have you experience any problems with the gas cap holding pressure?
