    go onto youtube and find the video of the 300zx with the rb26 in it and you'll have wood for a week.

      They are fun as hell. About as fast as an evo with a couple bolt ons. But brace yourself when something goes wrong. Parts are not cheap. Preventative matainence is key with these cars, and there is a lot of it to do. Don't skimp and get the NA. You can find a nice TT for 6-10 grand

        Get the turbo. NA, the car is the thing where everyone will ask "is that the turbo?" and you'll look down at the pavement and say "no. Also, I am a virgin".

        If you get the twin turbo, however, nobody will even ask. When the rays of light reflect from the car into the eyes of onlookers, there will be color distortions due to "awesome shift", which is like redshift but with awesomeness.

              exactly. I love my TT, and can't imagine ever getting rid of it. It makes everything I've owned prior to this seem like junk. They don't feel fast to me though. Like a hayabusa the power comes in smooth and is easy to get used to and seem slower

                  good idea, have fun putting one snail on a v6. I think I'd rather have the stock twin turbo. I like the push button suspension controll and such.

                    i would love to get the twin turbo but if you think about it the previous owner most likely rodded on it and wore it out, the reason why im getting this one is because it is owned by a 75 year old man who flies south to Florida every winter and keeps it stored in a heated garage. Im just looking for a 300ZX that is in immaculate condition and not rodded on by a young driver.

                        And still has sexy lines even by todays standards. I love the 300's and dare I say would take one in place of a 350z. Just personal tastes.

                          Yeah, i agree they look good... same w/ the RX7s, Supras etc from the 90's.

                          I'm just surprised how much they cost (along w/ supras and rx7's)...

                            a TTZ is about half the price of a TT supra. What would it be like if it was a Z on fast and the furious? haha

                                There is a 40ish y/o women with a red TT Z32 in FM or close to the area. I saw it a couple times. It has a Italian flag on the back window and Stillen sticker on the side window about where is says twin turbo. Has at least an exhaust on it.

                                    That tells me nothing. It's probly an RB. I've seen single turbo VG's but seems like a big waste of time to me

                                        That car is a VG. RB swaps into a z32 probably cost almost as much as that whole setup. The only downside to having a single turbo VG is having to merge the exhaust from both banks of the V-6.

                                          WOW, that is ignorant. BTW, singles>twins (to a point, like 1000+hp). Its gonna be funny when a home-built with used parts old Z31 single turbo comes up to fargo and lays the smack down on a Z32 TT. Most of you know what im talking about. You really must have no idea.

                                          BTW, i have met and talked to this guy (in the link) on a couple occasions. The car is a single 63mm using N/A headers that were modified to work. As you can see, that run is on 20lbs, and i have also watched it click off a high 11@125 with traction problems.
