300zx or 240z?

[Lehsyrus]

I'm in the market for a new car at the moment. I am deciding between a 300zx or a 240z. Both are sexy, sleek, and amazing, and the two options I'm looking at are properly modded. Opinions? I can't make up my mind.

240z:

The Engine:

The engine is has no internal or turbo modifications. It has a manual boost controller set to 11psi that hasn't been touched since being tuned to 290whp/240wtq at RT tuning in lansdale PA. This was done at 11psi on stock MAF and injectors with an Apexi Power FC. The intake manifold is an authentic, real Greddy manifold (not the cheap Freddy's you can find on eBay that lean out cyl 6). It connects to an infinity q45 Throttle body which is painted black to match the intercooler piping. The intercooler is a thick 24x12x4 cx racing core with short endtanks.The blow off valve is a real Greddy Type-s (although i have a Type-Rs laying around if you prefer that more). The car also has yellowjacket coil packs, which allow for solid consistent spark throughout the RPM band. The rev limiter is set at 7200.

The shorty downpipe off the turbo is stock, connecting to a straight pipe that ends in an authentic HKS 3" in 5" outlet CarbonTi Muffler.

Electrically-- the engine is outfitted with an Optima Red Top Battery, and a 125amp Nissan Quest alternator (up from the 70amp stock RB unit). The engine is cooled by a FAL 225 fan, and a custom fit aluminum radiator. Heat is a custom unit wired to a 3 setting switch on the dashboard and is extremely cozy in these winter months.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The transmission the is in the car now is an RB20 out of an R32 skyline. It has an ACT clutch, Xtreme Pressure plate and a brand new flywheel. The whole setup probably has 500 miles on it. No launches, burnouts or hard dumps. Handles the power just fine, and is 100% daily drivable. No grinds, leaks, issues. It connects to an aluminum driveshaft, fitted to an R200 non LSD differential from a 280zx.

Wheels and Tires:

The Wheels are Work Equip 03's. The rears are 15x10.5 -6 and require .25" spacers to fit them perfectly flush with the outside of the car. The fronts are 15x8 -25. The Tires are Falken ziex 512s 225/50/15 in the rear and 195/55/15 in the front

Interior

The interior is the only unfinished part of the car. It has a full Raam Audio sound deadening kit with 2 layers of sound deadening. The carpet is a brand new 5 piece set in black. The seats are replica Bride LowMax seats in red, with 5 point Stroud Harnesses connecting to an Autopower cage. The dash board is a custom unit fitted with a set of Autometer Pro-Comp Guages. The Tach is fully function and accurate with the adapter clip reading off the main ignition coil. The steering wheel is a personal 320mm, black with red stitching. The heat can get downright HOTTT, which is perfect for winter cruising. No power steering but the car only weights 2300lbs so its not hard at all to turn.''

Exterior

The outside is clearly the most unique thing about the car. All metal widebody conversion with fresh white paint. Opal taillights, Carbon Fiber Porsche turbo badge, custom hood-- it is clearly one of a kind. The wipers, gas door, and rain rails were also shaved to make the car have a really smooth look.

This is everything I got on the 240z, luckily this information was all in full rather than pieced out like the information the owner of the 300z gave me.

If you don't know shit about cars and are going by looks I'm just going to ignore your posts Both cars are sexy as fucking hell. And don't ask for the price of each, I'll just say they're both below 8k USD and both have 76k miles or less.

You're really going to throw your money and buy an already built car, do you have no interest in building it yourself?
The main problem with buying a car that's already built and modified by those calibres is that if one thing fucks up; what are you going to refer to?
There's no manual for your specific car; you don't know how many things they've done to it.
When most people sale their car, it's because either 1) they're moving, 2) need the money, 3) there's something wrong with it.
When one buys one of these and encounter a problem; hell the seller is not going to help you; nor did the guy who sold me mine when I figured out problems but lucky everything was stock other than the paintjob and rims.



Are you sure this "240z" isn't the same as this 260?

I don't need to go through the list of modifications to tell you what's what; I see the 240z has a skyline motor in it; and the z32 has its stock engine.
If I had the money i'd throw it to the 240z, the 300z's were known to be the shittiest Fairlady Z generation; and it's more difficult to tune them over the 240z.


If I were you though; i'd rather throw maybe $2000-$4000 toward a stock 240/260/280z or even just an S13 or S14 and build it up from there because you have the pride of working on your own car and you know the insides and outs; when there's a little problem you can end up fixing that because you already know how to isolate that situation and what not.

Do more research than just looking for flashy mod lists.

Wait... they're both below $8k? With all those mods; I mean hell where I live, that's more than a steal... then again if one thing fucks up; the cars will fall apart in a matter of months
