Introduction

Here she is, my 1984 Nissan 300zx Turbo two seater, AKA my new money-pit. I bought this fine specimen of an 80's sports car for $1000 in running condition. There are all the usual problems associated with a mid-eighties car present; rust, small mechanical faults, body damage, etc, but nothing too awful. I have dubbed this car my "Daily Driver Project" (which is just a fancy way of saying, I may have to borrow my mom's Jetta to get to work in the morning, but when it works, I get to ride in style!) and I am looking forward to getting it restored. I haven't yet decided whether I want to keep it stock and do a true restoration or modify it and make it more modern (and by modern, I mean fast).

Specs:

• Engine: VG30ET (Turbocharged 3.0 liter V6 with 200 hp)
• Weight: ~3000 lbs
• Wheel Base: 91.3 in
• Length: 173.7 in
• MPG: ~23 mpg
