The powerplant is, of course, the VG30DETT as factory fitted to the Z32 300ZX series. In the early days of the build, David had problems boosting the engine past 0.8 Bar; when a welsh plug had to be replaced, it was discovered that a conrod or two was bent... Nobody's quite sure why. The task of rebuilding the engine (not a pleasant job given how packed the TT Zed's engine bay is!) was handed to Sydney's BD4s Service Centre. BD4s revived the VG30 with (new) shot peened rods, forged pistons (giving a compression ratio around 8.5:1), ported heads, US-sourced cams and valve springs, HKS adjustable cam sprockets and a pair of Garrett GT25 ball-bearing turbos. HKS air filters, twin Blitz blow-off valves and a large oil cooler were installed as well.


The intercooling arrangement was upgraded with a Plazmaman front-mount core, which is some 6-inches thick. There's also some tricky pipework, which reduced the total length and number of bends required through the system. An important part of the engine revival was replacement of the under-bonnet wiring loom, which had gone brittle over the years; this step prevents having to chase intermittent problems further down the track.


Providing fuel for the worked 3.0-litre engine is an upgraded fuel pump working with Nizmo injectors and a re-written chip in the standard ECU. David tells us he's contemplating a switch to MoTeC M800 programmable management, but this will be a major job to integrate into the Zed.

While the engine has only travelled about 700 kilometres since its rebuild, boost pressure has been kept fairly conservative - 1.0 Bar. Still, 1.0 Bar and Shell Optimax is all this baby needs to churn out 312kW at the back wheels; there's no denying this car has plenty of show and go. Just wait until the run-in period is over and boost is nudged to 1.4 or 1.5 Bar!

Torque is put through a Daikin twin-plate clutch teamed with a Stillen lightened flywheel. The gearbox, meanwhile, is a rebuilt standard 5-speed and the diff from a R32 Skyline GT-R has been fitted under the rear. Redline fluids are used throughout.

:appl:

that is so in sexy, but I wouldnt go with chrome rims personally on a car like that!

still hot

the flames r too :supergay:

when u have big horsepower rice is acceptable.......if that was a civic that looked like that all of you wouldv dogged it as RICE!!!!!!!!!!!!........personally its ugly. :smilie_da

i think i like the brakes. pesonally those brakes are out of place on a rice bucket like that :supergay:

:knock_tee

those brakes are insane.... :thumbsup

thats alright...
too bad we couldnt see the pics under the floor mats... i really like the interior, but i dont care for the chrome

That is one sexy beast.

I look at that and think "man some1 wasted too much time/money".

Horrible. :supergay:

all yellow cars are gay

Crazy car... Nice interior though.

300zx are bad ass cars but i dont like this one 2 much...

crazy mods.. but overboard

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like a 2+2, not a TT. It's longer than a TT, and you can also tell by which side of the wheel well the gas cap is on (a TT would be on the left). Personally I like the look a LOT better than the TT, it's longer and sleeker. Nice car!

Ok ding ding ding we have a winner

ur right it does look like the longer version yet it has the vg35dett in it so u tell melol
i think he swapped it

Yeah he definately must've done a swap, either him or the previous owner, since it seems according to the writeup that he originally had the car with a VG30DETT.

no way man, that car is amazing

Imagine the money spent on airbrushing the whole car was spent on the motor/suspension, Imagine the car was less flashy in color, with some real Recaros and not APCs covered in leather, and imagine the car was sitting on Volks or BBSs, THEN I would jiz all over it. but as is now, its :supergay:

The 2+2 was available as a TT, just not in North America.
That Z is RHD, likely not a swap.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWW take it to the junkyard!

meh....im stuck in the middle on this one

300zx is one of my fav cars, the thing i dont like on this one is the yellow and the flames and the interior. engine bay is very nice, love the brakes setup but the rims would be hot if they were hyper silver or black. nice car tho

Ugl E

..
 

:appl: nice car..dont like rims

Way to ruinnnn a beautiful car.

umm wow

DAM that car is sick! must pick up bitches like crazeeeeeee:smilie_da :hypnotize

Your right they did offer the TT in 2+2:smilie_da

thats a nice 300ZX ....the exterior is a bit too ricey but overall i like it

yeah i think the rims are too bling for me... don't like the flames at all

Ummmmm... eww??

Very 2001 style paintjob, lame rims, gawdy looking interior. I don't care what kind of power it makes, it looks like a clown car :S

sick whip

the interior and engine bay is nice but .... .I really hate flames:smilie_d0

NASTY,,....

And its a 2+2! The gas cap is behind the rear wheel.

Love the motor and the BBK!

those flames are gay

noo man i love the 300's but this one is really riceed man...get rid of those flames paint it black...get some bronze rimss and DUMPP it thats all you need haha
