Agreed. Just could you confirm what 'miles to the gallon' are as I was under the impression that most cars I've driven do gallons to the mile

A little TOO garish for me looks wise. But I can't dispute that it's groovy, certainly it's figures sound good!

Nice purchase

Not a great fan of the looks of the 300ZX, but that one has to be one of the best I've seen.

Absolutely stonking m8.

Dogbreath · 26 Mar 2006 at 20:15

Remove the awfull side skirts and that would be a nice looking car

300's suffer from overheating with FMIC's on, you really need an uprated radiator like a Koyo, even then they aren't so clever. And anyway, larger IC's wont really help you a great deal with stock turbo's, unless you are pushing them past 15psi which is not exactly the best idea. A big intercooler on stock turbo's means more lag and no real benefit.

Pace side mounts are well known as being the best intercoolers for the 300zx.

Looks well but those skirts are awful, not so keen on the rear bumper either.

Opinion time is over though.
