Ever since it got the drift car i thought i had turned my back on having a nice road car.And through the 18 months or so that i had the 180SX , i had moments where i came so close to putting her on donedeal and going back to having something nice on the road.
Then i spotted this for sale and knew i had to have it.
I've had a serious horn for these since the 90's , so i put the 180 for sale , twas gone in a few days and i bought this.

So she’s a 300ZX, Non turbo,with a 5 speed manual , she’s still packing a 3 litre quad cam, 24 valve V6 sending about 222hp to the rear wheels, and beautiful noises through the quad pipes out back and I love it.
Sure there are more capable cars out there, that are faster, with better handling and maybe some that look better, but if everyone used their head and bought the widely regarded best car in a given class, then we would have no variety, and every car meet would be a sea of the same model. Plus I love the underdog , when everyone was buying Integra Type R’s I got a ST202 Celica, when the masses bought Civic Type R’s I bought a Levin , when they all rushed to buy Imprezas, I bought a B4 Legacy.

I haven’t done much driving in it so far , as she’s out of tax and will remain so until the winter has passed. But what I have learned from the few hundred kilometers I’ve put up is that is heavy, its comfy , it can pick up pace relatively effortlessly with a nice bit of midrange grunt, she sounds best at about 20mph in first gear, T-Tops are awesome and because there so few in the country most people go “ WTF” when they see it.
Took it down to Waterford for a few pics on saturday and this is what the missus came up with.
