3.0 turbo Z on the way!?

tjlazer · 03-22-2012, 06:02 PM

It would be really weird to call it a 300Z.

I have a 1990 300ZX TT. Really love that car but am trying hard to justify keeping it since I have my 370Z. Only reason I have it is the dealers were going to rape me on a trade in on it. Were gonna give me like $4K. Forget that.

The juke has turbos

If this comes to the G in 2014 we will probably see it in the Z in 2015.

Dude they are sweet cars, but would it really be worth it if you're going to mod it anyway? I mean, you're gonna upgrade the turbos anyway, by the time you're done you've spent just as much money as on your 370Z for the same-ish hp gains. If I didn't have my Z now, I would spring for a 300ZT, but I'm happy with what I have right now. Just my .02

it's not worth that much sadly.. I just sold my black auto 91 TT for a lil over
2k

but it was a project car.. lol

how many miles and what condition is your ZX in? and is it manual or auto?

You'd get much more HP/$ if it came TT from the factory. If it really is the next Z, just as a baseline it will start out somewhat better than the 370Z. With a better HP/$ ratio for mods it should be more mod friendly.

also this may mean the true rebirth of the skyline (no not the GT-R) but the infiniti G37(aka skyline 370)------->becomes G30T AWD. That will be a bad a** car.

man, now all I am thinking about is my 300zx in Tucson, and its poor paint, and new turbos

i want her back

MattP725 · 03-22-2012, 10:24 PM

I'd be surprised if they reverted to the 300zx name or the 300 anything for that matter... sounds like they are regressing to me if they do that... I guess we will just have to wait and see.

We have to be at least 3-4 years away from a platform change though, especially since they just refreshed the body for 2013. Only caveat is if they do a powertrain transplant in the 370 just like they did with the HR 350.
