- Hi everyone, welcome to another garage video! (Apologies in advance for the swear word while driving, Georgina cannot help herself) Just Georgina in this one, for the first time! Apologies for any mistakes generally and any issues with the audio but as a first attempt I'm happy with this, we hope you enjoy the video as always!

Happy that you accomplished your dream. When I was younger, everyday on my way to school, I would stop by the magazine stand to see this beauty. It was the only way to admit he beauty, and one day I saw a dark green TT ZX. It was a dream to see one
Thank you! The green is also one of my favourite colours however very difficult to find one. They’re fantastic cars
I was in middle school when this beautiful car came to be.. To this day, I still think it's the most beautiful design ever of any car. 😍
It is a fantastic design for sure!
These cars find people not the other way around. I had one when I was 18 and ended up selling it because I wasn't ready to fix up a 90's sports car. But now. 10 years later one rolled into the dealership nextstore to my business and I couldn't get away from it. It wanted me and I wanted it. It's a beautiful red convertible NA and I'm in LOVE. It's made me get back into maintaining my own vehicles again too! This time around I'm in it for the long haul. Can't wait to see what she turns into! Congrats on purchasing yours they are truly timeless vehicles
That’s a great story, thanks for sharing! We do agree with you, I think they do find you! That’s what we tell the family too 😂 Good luck with yours and have fun with it!
Fun to see a gal enjoying a nice Z32! I have a 95 twin turbo and it’s by far the favorite out of everything I’ve owned.
Thank you! It’s by far the best car I’ve owned too!
@@OGCars if you google “Austin’s 300zx,” mine pops up.
Sick car!! Love it. I have one (1992, 2 plus 2, manual, chipped and decatted with 550cc injectors to 440 bhp). It's a blast.
Nice zx at a very good price. These sports cars are very special as you have found out when you had your first drive. Their no need to go crazy,, boosting the power, as all 300 zx TT's have more than enough power to make any drive fun.
As a 300 zx TT owner, you will soon realize that this beauty naturally attracts a lot of attention ..... or ........ criticism if you neglect her. ha ha
Love your 300 zx & she will reward you with a reliable, exciting driving experience while providing you with an endless opportunity to make new friends. ha ha
Thank you!
Great video. For those unaware, these 2+2 models have smaller turbos, different tuning, and less power than their 2 seater counterparts.
No. The difference come between auto and manual..not body. Auto has smaller tubs and cams to match. Quicker spool
Beautiful Z! It reminds me of my car. The best modification would be to ensure that the timing belt service is in order, and to check the detonation sensor before adding a boost controller to the mix. Also, the ECU sits under the passenger footwell!
Thanks Steve! The car had the timing belt done with Power Zed in Bristol a little while back! They’re great and they have all the dates and history so it’ll be kept to with them - next belt is due next year 😎
One advice I'll give you is this car is a lion keep it undercontrol because it has Alot of power so be "very" careful of being tempted to put your footdown a, don't cut corners by buying cheep tyres (Michelins tyres would be the best choice) and last advise do not let other people drive your car no matter what
I know its more of an engine side change but id highly suggest getting larger intercoolers. Z1 as example offers some great in house solutions that are nearly a perfect stock fit.
The carbon canister might needs a bit of re-arranging but a fairly easy fit overall yet makes quite a difference already.
As far as interior goes i suggest getting leather wrap covers for the sun visors, makes it look that much more prestige. Of course another huge improvement that i notice now everytime, i swapped the interior lights from bulbs to LED. it lights up the dash so much nicer than the bulbs did.
And of course make sure to regularly change the oil, the VG30DETT is a capable engine but these cars are very unforgiving when it comes to neglecting service. Most cars are, but these more so than others.
Thank you so much for the advice! Any recommendations for intercoolers? It’s something I’ve looked into but not yet done!
The cars just had a service but it’s also booked in with a specialist for work over Christmas, just to keep on top of everything the car needs
93 have hydrolic rear wheel steering. 94-96 have electronic steering. 90-93 fuel rail support Nismo 550cc injectors. 94-96 fuel rail supports Nismo 740cc injectors. Good luck with that. Most 90-93 owners delete their AWS with a kit, because the PS hose leaks all under the car. The 300ZX race cars had AWS.
I love your Z32TT Looks beautiful ❤️
Thank you for your kind words! 😁
I'm from Dubai I have model 1994
Lovely car
Love the car! Replace your fuel filter and check all your fuel lines on filter. They leak when aged especially when it gets cold.
Cheers for the advice!
Congratulations. I was going for the new Z next year until I was searching older models, and fell in love with the 300zx. Had good memories of people around me in the past with theirs and always admired the cars. Hoping to get a decent conditioned one next year.
Thank you! Good luck in finding one, they’re great cars imo:)
Congrats! Enjoy your car. Love the 300zx.
おめでとうございます！！
For under 8k pounds its definitely a bargain, great channel. Greetings from Ukraine!
Thank you very much!
Always thought these cars were so cool, congrats!
I love seeing how excited you are about owning your Z. And it’s a Z you just don’t see here in the US, a right hand drive TURBO 2+2. Nope, I would be surprised if there is even one factory 2+2 turbo here. I have owned my 95 TT since before you were born, I’m sure, 1996. And I still look back at it when I walk away. Congratulations, I’m happy for you.👏👏👏👍👍 Oh, and that gets you a 👍 and a subscribed.
Thanks so much, I’m the same! Owned mine for 10 months now and I still sometimes can’t believe I own it! :)
Fab car! Great backdrop that ikea carpark wall - i’ll have to remember that one
Cheers Craig! It’s a great place to film when it isn’t busy!
I love it, i saw a dark blue one the otherday, one on my list, congrats
Cheers! Can well recommend them!
Congratulations on your new Z.
They are fantastic cars if you are prepared to look after them and watching your video I think yours is in good hands.
I'm in the middle of upgrading mine with a stage 3 forged engine and bigger turbochargers and I'm pretty excited by it.
Thank you! Luckily it has been well looked after in the past which makes it a tad easier for me! Enjoy your upgrades, hope they all go well :D
Nice. Take care of it and it will continue to apprrciate and be more collectable.
Welcome to the club ! Mine also has the bootspoiler-delete option and I totally agree with you ! Much cleaner lines. Make sure you join the owners club and hopefully you can get to Japfest at Silverstone this year !
Thanks for your comment Mark! G has registered her interest on it!
Excellent video, especially 10:30 taking the on-ramp! I just purchased my dream car one month ago too: 1991 300ZX Z32 twin turbo with T-Tops. Currently having the leaky hicas replaced with the delete kit. Cannot wait to get it back on the road: sunny and 30C this weekend here in the North Atlantic US! Cheers! :o)
Thank you, that’s awesome, we hope you enjoy driving yours as soon as you are able to!
I'm going sit in the corner and cry because one of 5 Nissan cars I'd love to own ... still a timeless car
The biggest respect I have is this woman know what she talking about....
I would like to see her do car reviews
Thanks so much for the kind words! It is a car I’d wanted for a long time so I’m pretty clued up on it now! 😁
Love you guys!
Thanks Amber, hope to see you soon 😎
So nice congrats 😃😃😃😃😃
Thank you!
Nice Zed! I love those eightless front splitters. I'm keen to see your comments on it in a future vid
As for mods, try to get a factory fan shroud and fit it when you change over the radiator. It makes a big difference to the fan efficiency, Nissan put it there for a reason. But hey, I'm in Australia and we all know how hot it can get here 🙄
@@mint.z3244 thank you! The splitters do look great and it shall hopefully be on in the near future... we will have a look at the fan, thanks!
The only difference between a stock manual tt and an auto changed to manual is the stock manual has slightly larger cams. I've got an auto 300zx tt it flys and a stock manual 300zx tt with upgraded turbos and lots of bolt ons that flys x2 .Maintenance time is times x2 also but worth it.So awesome when chics are into cars.
Good to know! Thanks, hope you’re enjoying your 300s!
Where is the wing? I had a band new 1990 Twin Turbo Z in SF California... loved it... drove it 18,000 miles - dumped it moving to LA for film school for a 1991 4Runner and cried. I went through 3 sets of fronts and 2 sets of backs... As for tires - go for Michelin Pilot 4S pilot sports - the best rated!... I'd recommend what I'm driving instead a 330hp+ with mods 2005 silver Infiniti G35 with no Turbo... newer, faster, no turbo and about $8K plus sunroof used now. (I love my sunroof!). Thanks for the memories and your great UK accent. Enjoy! Try a G and forget the Z... as you get back seats even on the G35 6mt coupe which lowers insurance.
Respect
These cars are a 90's Japanese classic. You should try to make it as original as possible. Great thought and engineering went into the design and execution of this vehicle. The notion for the first time buyer is to Mod the heck out of it simply ruins the car's original design. As time goes on the more you leave the car original the more valuable it is. Would you mod the heck out of a Ferrari GTO. Heck no! Just restore the car to it's original glory is what I would recommend. Very few of these cars will be left unmolested in the future. That's what makes them rare and desirable.
Congratulations. Welcome to the club. On my 11th z32 now, 7th slicktop, 2nd 2jz swap. If you need any pointers hit me up
Wow that’s a fair few, nice one! Thank you!
You think vh45de is worth it?
Love my twin turbo Z, not the most powerful but great fun round the country lanes.
Hi I'm from you neck of the woods and over the last couple of months Iv been looking at getting 1. brilliant review and hope soon il get my 1 and we can meet up 👍👍
That would be fantastic, good luck with the search and let us know how it goes!
I want that car too😍 my dream car😍😍
I was told by the insurance company I was the youngest person in the UK to insure a 300zx. I'm a bit older now, and insurance now falls under classic car insurance (which is REALLY affordable).
Welcome to the 300zx gang 😃😃😃😃😃
A fellow 300zx owner! I'm loving it so far, 6 months into ownership now!
@@OGCars you guys better be careful because you might get addicted to it 😂 it happens to me now I own 2 😃😃😃😃😂😂😂😂
@@VZGarage I can imagine that happening tbh! I have a few plans for this one first though 😅
Likely different maps in the ECU for manual or automatic gearbox.
good find! thats low mileage for the US!
Man that thing is clean I'd put the TT wing to make it perfect
Always liked them with wings but after seeing this without, we quite like the look! But who knows what the future may bring
Those 300s look as good if not better than a supra when they have wide fenders.
It's a big shout but ops on this being a first car
From a UK perspective insurance would be ridiculous on this as a first car so it would be worth buying a smaller cc car to get onto the ladder and this’ll help you learn car control before you step into a bigger car too!
NICE Z
The engine from the turbo was not moved to it, because there is no wing. Were there twin turbo models without a spoiler?
The previous owner took the spoiler off
Good for you ☺️ if nobody told you yet don't use supermarket fuel! Not good for the injectors!
Did the TT come with a 2+2 ? I just dont know much. I just bought mine. Btw the Supra is actually slower. It seems that Nissan hide some numbers like the hp. Check out 300zx TT vs Supra TT. Take a look at the Supra prices. The z32's wont be as high as the Supras but people are grabbing these cars and prices keep going up .
You can either get a 2+0 or a 2+2 for the twin turbo, from looking the majority in the UK seem to be 2+2 and the 2+0 is a lot harder to come by!
The pricing is a big selling point for me, I think you get so much car for the money especially when compared to its ‘competitors’ at the time!
Ok so the power difference between autos and manuals comes down to a few things.....auto turbos are slightly smaller than manual turbos, tune is slightly different and cam shafts themselves im pretty sure
Good to know, thanks for the info!
why the hell are all the cars parked on the side of the road facing whichever direction hahahaa that would drive me nuts! It's also illegal here. grats on the new car! wish mine was that clean and seemingly undamaged underneath when i bought it...
Welcome to the UK 😂 Thanks for your kind words, the condition was a big selling point for us, hope yours goes well!
What camera are you using?
iPhone 12 Pro Max and the driving shots were from a Sony Action Cam (not sure on model, sorry)
looks awesome , how much did you pay
Thanks Wacky, less than 8k! World level car for not much money in comparison to others!
Prefer with the rear lip spoiler tbh ,but nice
Thanks, spoiler admittedly coming soon...
If anyone knows where I can find that damn defrost button on the climate controls I would appreciate it. lol...What a great car you have but wow those roads are horrible.
I just use the button that looks like a windscreen, although it take a LONG time🤣 they really are, I don’t often taken it around town though, I’ll do an update video soon on some better roads!
I didn't know they made 4 seater turbo
Interesting, never knew the long wheel version 2+2 came with turbo engine.. Put the original wheels back on.. 🙂
It didn’t come with originals unfortunately! We may look at getting some more interesting aftermarket ones!
Smart girl....now calm down...!!....😉...and don't let the boys talk you into abusing it...it's a classic supercar...and timelessdesign...hold on to it...
How easy/difficult is it to find engine & body parts in the UK now for this model? If someone wanted to buy new parts from Nissan, do they still sell?
Is it worth importing one from Japan? Thanks.
There are a few 300ZX specialists here so things aren’t too bad! There are lots of imports here! Keep an eye on marketplaces though as there are plenty here already!
And a different script on the rear glass would be tops....
Whats insurance like?
Very reasonable considering my age and the engine size, mainly as it falls under classic car insurance now with it being 28 years old!
@@OGCars how old are you, im turning 20 and i want to get one. I did a quote and it came out as 2600 which isn’t bad.
@@ao8271 I’m 24 now but got the car at 23, it was about £800 for my first year and is now around £6-700 (can’t remember exactly), pretty cheap IMO as all modifications are declared too!
@@OGCars thats amazing
Can people fit at the back?
Of course! We were 3 up with a dog as well when we did a trip to west Wales!
@@OGCars full size adults?
@@ao8271 I was sat in the back and I’m roughly 6 foot and while it’s not the best seat in the world I honestly didn’t mind it! Was happy to sit in the back for the whole journey, once you’re in and perched in it’s fine!
1993 300zx Twin Turbo 2+2. very nice. for the most part. cant stand a 2+2.
Thanks, do love a 2+0, although the rear seats have been helpful for us - compared to sitting in the back of a mk1 TT I was almost comfortable!
vg30dett if it’s twin turbo
As specified at 1:30, VG30DE with twin turbo so VG30DETT is absolutely right! G forgot to say TT so said Twin Turbo straight after! ;)
Teamo
I 🧦 driving
The question is how much did you pay for it
I don’t normally give pricing out online but I may cover it in a future video!
@@OGCars i understand that and keep it up nice video tho hope one day will met was asking because i pay 5 for mine and i have the car 4 years now 😊
72
You're only young once, enjoy the car and mind yourself in it. I'd love one but it's not going to happen in rip off Ireland.
Thanks Terry, it’s certainly a car to be careful with, one little mistake... whoops!
There's nothing like owning ur dream car....till the honeymoon phase is over
So far so good! The cars needed a few things but nothing I wouldn’t expect for a 28 year old car, just more expensive than my other cars 😅
