thejim42 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Got something a little different for everyone. about a year ago i got stationed in tokyo japan so the mj has been on hold sitting in my dads driveway. I picked up a 91 300zx 2 seater non turbo 5 speed. this is a whole new world for me because I'm used to trucks and jeeps and muscle cars. bought the car bone stock with 84xxx km which is about 52xxxish miles. put a set of cusco coilovers on it and lowered it about 2.5 inches, got a set of r33 gtr wheels 17x9 and I'm running 245/40r17s in the front and 275/40r17s in the rear. got some more things i wanna do to it once i get back stateside with it in 10 months but i can't wait to get home to my mj and start working on her again. Ill post pictures as soon as i remember how. i thought i could use photobucket but its not working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Will customs let you export it Stateside? Maybe it's changed, but that was no bueno when I was there. Especially RHD. Great looking car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinch Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Very clean! I was looking at getting a 300zx before I decided to pickup a MJ. They're completely different, but awesome in their own ways. Still hoping to get a 300zx or similar sports car some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejim42 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Yes i can import it because its 25 years old now. Nice thing is that the military is paying for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sam Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Cool, but why not at least get a twin turbo while you are there? Or a TT 2+2? Or something not sold in the US like a r32? I have had a couple of z32s, still have 2 right now, including my convertible I converted to twin turbo about a decade ago. http://www.colorado4wheel.com/content/93zxset1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejim42 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Couldnt afford a twin turbo and i don't like the r32. An r32 gtst is going for about 7grand here gtr 15grand. Tt 300zx 6-8 grand. And quite frankly the skylines don't handle half as well as the 300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejim42 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Ive got her back in the states now, debating on selling her and thinning out my large fleet of vehicles. between my grandfathers 1994 chevy 1500 that i inherited, 2 comanches, 2 cherokees, my mitsubishi built cj3b, my fairlady, a jetski, and mustang, i think i have too many.
