500 WHP Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo - One Take TheSmokingTire

- We recently drove our friend Dan's 300ZX 2+2 which had been converted from NA to Twin-Turbo spec, and it makes a stout 325 WHP. This one, a Turbo from birth, makes nearly 200 HP more than that, with a 6" shorter wheelbase.
I bought a non-turbo one of these cars years ago and oh my God I never got so many looks in my life I might as well been driving a freaking Ferrari
it doesnt matter
RAY NL ? NA’s are still good cars man
hahah lamborghini used 300zx headlamps so yea
@@thebananaexpress494 yeah, but they’re heavy as hell, overheat, and don’t push out much power for what they are. All that being said, I still miss mine.
Saw one of these pull into the parking lot of a grocery store I was coming out of one day. Then some woman probably in her early 60s came out of it and it immediately made my day. Totally wasn't expecting it, but I have nothing but respect and admiration for her. What an absolute legend.
500 WHP with just breather mods and e85? WTF, thats really fucking impressive especially for stock turbos.
And a 25 year old motor….
E85 is the trick.
This is awesome! I'm glad to see the Z32 getting some love
I have a 420whp z32 still kicking hard
Also props for the serious horsepower on those stock turbos!
+Jody Trandana I've got a z31 that I'm going na to turbo on - probably will only end up at 230 hp or so.
+Loebane I own a na2t man they are fast when fuel and air are taken care of.
connerconn Haha nice - I imagine it's not common to see that conversion.
nice man
wow another 300zx I'm loving the videos lately
oh yea he did say that in his last video
+judah hunter ya man! supra got all the 90's RWD JDM love... the Z32 is a great car, and it's super reliable,
+judah hunter yeah we should have him test one of the properly built 800hp Z's. Supra's got all the respect after Fast & Furios. Our Z's have so much potential.
+stiffmeister0hYeah yea supras skylines and gtrs got way to overrated in faf
+Andrew Bueno Seriously? He doesn't know shit then. GTX turbo's, MS manifolds, and top feed injection on e85 is a perfect combination. Name on TT.net?
I would this pick over the 350z any day.
+David Ha As a former 350Z owner I wish I did, that car is overrated
its just sexier too especially an unmolested one
I actually did...traded my 2007 350z straight up for a 1990 300zx. Couldn't be happier!
well since this car is rare, modded, a twin turbo, and worth 5x the price of your 350, i think anyone would.
Man if I had to pick a Z32 or a Z31 that’s one hell of a Pickle you would put me in
MAN! These 300ZXs are damn fine looking machines...
this is one of the most beautiful car ever built
It makes the current BMW Z4 based design look like bad caricature drawn by a 14 year old kid in study hall. I hope when Nissan comes out with the new Z they truly go to the Z32 for inspiration.
After watching this I went and bought a 300zx... In Gran Turismo lol. Racecar is life.
I love James' car such a well rounded, well put together Z32. And holy **** is it fast.
After listening to how much effort goes into these videos and how little of an ROI they can make, I'm going to make more of an effort to thumbs up these videos. I figure if you guys are going all out to make the content that we enjoy, it's the very minimum we can do to keep supporting your work. Thanks for keeping us entertained!
+doctorlobsteroctopus And make sure to Whitelist our TH-cam channel on your adblock software!
I think that the 300zx has the best looking engine ever.
So damn beautiful!
While that engine bay looks like a nightmare to wrench in, this is pretty close to a perfect vehicle in my opinion. Older car well sorted, well maintained, and none of the GPS clusterfuck w/ computers everywhere. Love it.
Good stuff Matt,
Keep em coming!
Sizzler t-shirt....Owner sure loves the 90's
Ahh the classic 90s Japanese sportscars. So timeless!!
90's nissan turbos were on another level for a stock system, and a treat once reworked onto the corn
My buddy has a car just like this, only white. She's a beaut!
Sup Bud :D
+Kalvin Malli (ThatBurgundy240) oh hey! I guess that'd be me? haha
William Harris Indeed!
pearl white is the best color for this car. love it.
Have always loved the pearl white on this vehicle -- it is a perfect color.
My buddy has a 90 twin turbo. Greddy sp2 exhaust, Megan racing down and test pipes, Ash tune, apex filter, and bigger intercoolers. That thing sounds loud when it revs up almost a Ferrari screaming sound. That combination of exhaust makes a sound like no other Z I have ever heard.
We are amazed that this beauty got 500hp by improving the cars breathing. Loved the presentation & thanks for sharing.
That car looks absolutely fantastic in that blue color
He was flying! I like how he really gets it. Not stupid or careless driving but shows you how fast the cars are.
he IS taking some Serious risks bro....its IS careless to drive those kinds of speeds on public roads that really should be done only on a track
it was always a great looking car, great to see people still keeping these legends alive
I love how Matt tends to use some high level technical jargon to justify why he does, or wants to do some crazy speeds in the car! Cracks me up everytime!!
500WHP with stock turbo's?
Suspect...
Yeah, that blow my mind to...
yes, google 300zx stock turbo word record. a kid named adam owns it. hes the first person ever to squeeze 500 whp out of stock block and stock turbos.. all you need is a fuck tun of cash for fuel, tune and breather mods.. shell def get up and dance.. only thing then is u have to worry about the turbos exhaust oil seal blowing out. bt if u have stock turbos that have been rebuilt with 360 deg thrust seals u dont even have to worry about that lol.. but yeah google it brotha. def been done a few times now =]
preprodigy that is insane... would be so much nicer again then with some nice little ball bearing turbo's in there... but overall it's super nice and clean having that OEM look under the hood with 500whp, great stuff.
+ArchimedeanEye He is also running E85. You use more of it but E85 gives you more power. That is a good chunk of his 500 horses.
300zx tt isthe best z of all time
Agreed, my dad has one
I assure you that if SpecialtyZ in Chatsworth, CA worked on the car, it's no joke. Those guys know what parts work and what don't. They're helping me with my 300Z project as we speak. If you're doubting he can get 500 rwhp on E85, well you had better do your research. Just ask your 800+ hp Supra friends. We can get a ton of hp out of these 3.0L motors. The next gen, of course, is the Nissan GT-R that's smoking almost everyone in 1/2 mile shootouts. Forced induction + e85 = God's gift to horsepower junkies.
I've had three z32's. they really are nice driving cars. they were beautiful and a bit before their time technologically, which attributes to some of their less than reputable quirks. I can't wait to build another one!
Man that kind of powerband is perfect for the street. Good turbo shove at 3500rpm is PERFECT. To hell with all those big turbo cars that spool at 4500rpm and give you 2000rpm of powerband.
Pushing those stock turbos pretty hard, but neat to see it making that kind of power with them.
I miss my 300zx. I had it briefly for 2 years before selling it. I was moving plus it had a number of problems that needed addressing. The previous owner did a number of modifications on it (engine, sound, interior). Had about high 300s whp. So much fun. Sooooo much fun. Could take off so quick and provide fun daily driving. Amazing car. Wish I could get it back. Will go down in history as one of the best out of Japan along with the R34 Skyline and mk4 Supra.
one of the best looking cars of the 90s! love it
I like this guy, good to know hes loyal to the brand and showing his love to the pathfinder too.
I read this below ,but must agree that the speed math is appreciated, and necessary when explaining how fast a car is. You can deliver the numbers in any fashion, we will know what you are talking about. Love the channel, I'm a die hard fan.
love the color combo! that blue with the bronze wheels looks great!
Really enjoyed this video. I love your genuine nature, and humble opinion. Staying true, sometime's all those countless hours wrenching and working for your own happiness needs to be shared and complemented. Especially in the natural way you did. Love it. As a Z owner i know the hardships you can encounter
one of the best cars Nissan has ever built.... this car is a classic work of art
Really enjoyed this video. Nice when you get into a car with someone who can have a legitimate conversation with you and talk about the car. It seems some people become camera shy or just don't know much about their own car.
I'll always have love for this car, was the first fast car I was in, nothing like having the bank end hoping around in 2nd gear on a tight track , felt like I was in a super car. Never been pushed into my seat so hard since...
I must say this was one of the better One Take's for some reason but I don't know why. Good stuff
These are great cars. My second car as a high school student was a 92 TT and it served me well. Making power with the VG30DETT is extremely easy although even the 300hp from factory is more than enough to put you back in your seat. Anyone interested in owning a 300ZX needs to be prepared for a maintenance nightmare however. With an engine bay so cramped that not even the smallest of hands can reach critical components and a level of complication like a Swiss watch on steroids, don't count on doing much maintenance unless you have a lift. If you can find a TT with low miles, BUY IT. Prices on early 90s TTs with low miles are approaching original MSRP and are going up all the time. Mine had 20,000 miles on it (one owner) when I bought it and I sold it with 48,000 miles less than six years later and got $5,000 more than I paid for it.
They were 65 grand in Australia when I was in Highschool. You kids are lucky to be getting the classics so cheap.
What number would you say is low miles?
"Holy hell, James, this car is fast. What do you have for brakes?"... Love it.
Matt Farah - your car reviews are great and entertaining.
Love the classic 80's-90's sport cars. Brings back high school memories.
Please do a 2000-2002 2nd generation Viper GTS!!!!!!!!
+Viper ACR - Stoptech BBK & Stoptech STR600 fluid. Thanks!
James Fun
I was quoting Matt Farah NOT asking you a question.
+Viper ACR well that was rather rude
Rude????
Are you a liberal or Obama supporter???
I just said that I did not ask a question.
Nothing rude.'
Learn to read!!!!!!
+Motordyne G35 dudes an ass
2 seater, turbo 300zx is the car I have wanted since high school as well. Plus you are wearing your All Blacks top. Great vid!!!
Wow, great build. Car looks good, and built right. Engine sounds amazing, very strong sound.
Having owned 5 Zs two 300zxs both na and tt two 350zs and one 370z I definitely love the 300 the most I will definitely buy another 300zx soon absolutely love everything about the 300zx
Thank you for mentioning the RX7, love my little FD. You've seen it at the top of the snake.
Matt you are awesome for bringing the z32 community in the mix. It is one of the most underrated cars in history honestly. Right on man hope to see more. I will be tuning my car in La this year chatsworth specifically at specialty Z should have 600whp. Maybe we can link up. He is right Greg and Sebastian at specialty Z are the best in the business.
Like this guy, I have owned multiple versions within the family. '73 Datsun 240Z - '82 Datsun 280ZX - '84 Datsun / Nissan 300ZX turbo - I've always wanted one of the early 90s twin turbos or a 350/370Z 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
Stock power was 320HP, did the owner ever mentioned that this car has 4 wheel steering ? I love the short wheel base Z300T, they look much more elegant compare to 2+2 . Body integrity on these old Nissan Zs is unbelievable . You shut that frame-less door and it makes the most solid sound .
Anoni.mouse right there with you on the Swb looking more elegant and stylish than the lwb. The extra 6 or 8 inches on the lwb makes it look clunky and ugly. Which is why my next car will be a swb 300tt :)
Z300T?! Wtf is that?
This is my dream car. Can't wait till I finish paying off my ST so I can get one. I just hope they are still around.
Sweet car my friend! the power must be intoxicating
Wow, amazingly well looked after too! Love it!
Car is a rattle-box though, I can hear every irregularity in the road in this video....sound like an F-Body Camaro or T/A on a bumpy road but hell that was part of the charm of the cars from the late 80s & 90s era....I always got love for them.
The rear hatch was unlocked and increased a rattling noise
You know its crazy, these cars are over 20 years old now and yet they still look pretty modern.
A couple of sr20's would pull a premium a week before race wars.
yeah dog i need the $$$ need to rebuild the head and turbo manifold on my gallo 23
And a install ready vg30dett will pull a premium any weekend lol. I'm about $4500 in on my 400whp build.
Kiss my shoes ?
What are you thinkin lance... 40 weight? 50 weight??
I remember my brother buying a Pathfinder so he didn't have to daily his 300ZX TT, but he loved his 300ZX so much he only used his Pathfinder to buy groceries and parts lmao
a timeless car. still looks good.
Proper exhaust and upgraded turbos would make this car 👌🏾
How much more then 500 whp would anyone ever need on the street lol. That's smoke vipers fast!
@@reaj2010 somewhat true, my mk7 gti now has around 330 whp and is pretty fast for 99% of the time, only wish it had 500 when modded Mustangs, or even some stock slower Porsches want to play around. The feeling of smoking (not smocking) 50,60, 80k dollars w/ my 23k 4 banger VW is just priceless. So yeah, I wouldn't mind 500 whp LOL
I have a 98 Z28 great car but man the 300ZX is still my favorite, the design is beautiful
At first I didn't like this channel...
But the more I see him drive a wide range of BUILT cars - the more I really start to like it.
"Holy hell! this cars fast!" "yea, it is" lmao
Well Matt, you found Mr. Vague! Either answers everything by dancing around it or is extremely vague!
That Twinz diffuser is so sexy.
I love seeing your reaction to the immense power, Matt!
Sweet ride james thankyou
+MotorsportMonkey Thanks.
One of my childhood fav cars! Love it!
nice car and a real car enthusiast to own it , good stuff !
Ahhhh the late 90s theme recently is making me reminisce highschool and getting my license.
I like your videos, real people reviewing real cars.
I hate working on 300zx, so cramped... As he said I respect people who have worked on this car day in and out.
Even in 2020, this car is still a great machine!
After watching the two 300ZX One Takes I'm seriously considering to buy one.
Beautiful car.
always liked the looks of 300zx. it's not aging as fast as other cars out there
Will we see anything from your GT-R soon? :)
At some point, but not in the next month. All those videos are uploaded and in the queue already
TheSmokingTire Guess I'll have to be patient, cannot wait though, really like the R32 GT-R
+cemBo last week I shot 14 one takes. I have about 20 videos uploaded and scheduled for air
+TheSmokingTire what's the scheduled time to air, one a day?
+TheSmokingTire You moved REALLY fast on that GTR, Matt. lol. I watched an episode where you were like "I think I might get a GTR". 6 weeks later "My GTR is AWESOME!" lol.
Another superb road video. Real Driving. Not "this car faster on track on 0.0001 sec. OMG!!!' .
Wow this thing is CLEAN...very well done.
This is a great car. Speciality Z in chatsworth know what they are doing and they love the conversion of E85. I have a great car build and they toned it. Check out my chanel and vids of the car: Z4ronin chasing GTR, 458....
I am a second owner much like him, clean car, its my 4th Z. It was stock turbos and engine with mods and ECU, Intake, exhaust down pipes suspension etc... and it did 500 hp 91 Octane . The car is capable of the hp however it eventually blow a rod thru the motor going well over 170 mph ( video will be released soon).
yes the stock turbos can handle it and i prefer it due to quick spool especially from low and mid torque. These cars f this era were much more capable than what was produced vs no a days the cars claim much more than it is actually produced with.
The car now is completely rebuild engine, piston, rods, block, every wire and hose, turbos stock still but rebuilt with a little extra gig, new wire harness you name it.. i assume it will produce well over 500 without E85.
when car is done tuned we will have it here on the smoking tires
"I can't say what that speed was, but it was a number, it was a real number"
KML!
Matt, you need a skyline gtr on this channel. Put your pride on the shelf and show us you skyline man! You do really great reviews and a r32 gtr review could really help future skyline owners.
He made a really good point about comparing the Z to a Corvette from the same era. If you compare a '90 Z to a '90 corvette, the vette will look dated inside and out while the Z still looks relevant today.
Man this car sounds amazing
i would love to have one of those cars, my friend at my old job had 300zx turbo that was pretty beat up but sounded absolutely MEAN. but my god 4 cams, 2 turbos? that's a very expensive engine rebuild.
These are definitely one of my favs from that era, never been keen on the 2 plus 2 but the other guys was modded some and had twin turbo with engine swap so it was better at least. This guys is much nicer though, with good power. Sold mine in 98 or 99 for the first vr4, always wanted to get another one, maybe I will.
Absolutely fantastic. nice job, Matt.
I'd be interested to see what you thought of the TT vs the LS motor in these cars now Matt?
I prrefer the well sorted TT setup to the V8, but if you're starting with an NA or blown motor project car, the LS is a strong choice
That road is excellent - near Pala casino if you would have kept going it turns back into tarmac in about a half mile - EXCELLENT Supermoto fun!!!
Oh shit. I also got a 93 2-seater factory TT in that Blue. Mine is all stock at 160,000 miles though.
I previously owned a 93 n/a 2+2 in the same Blue.
From the perspective of owning both, I would point out that the 2+2 rolls a bit more through corners and the TT is much faster obviously. Although the NA was an awesome car to have being young and on a budget. The 300zx has been my favorite car since I was 12 and still is 12 years later. LONG LIVE THE Z!
wow so clean, hats off to you man, beautiful vehicle
When your car can make Matt go "Holy shit" you've done well.
Nice car. Old but very nice and fast. Great video, thanks!
This was my college dream car! KUDOS!
yessss, you finally got into a vg powered z32.. gotta be loving it!!
Well I also had one on Thursday.
so pleased to see 2 of my favorite things in life a 300 zx and an All Blacks top was extremely happy when you came over to NZ hope you get another chance to come back, you could give me some advice on how to improve my 1997 Mazda Lantis v6 type R manual only one in the country.
All the very best for the rest of the year. Kiwi Glenn
Matt, have you ever driven a Citroën? :-P I got a Citroën C5
So do I. They dont get those in the states which is a shame.
I drove Alex Roy's SM
+Rottensteam maybe a saxo with a 306 2.0l swap would be fun, but they dont have those in the states.
+TheSmokingTire Is that video featured on this channel? The SM is one of my dream cars,but you cant find them under 30000€ so a dream it stays for now.
The SM is a fantastic car! The suspension feels somewhat the same today in newer Citroën's albeit a bit more active and refined.
My 3 dream cars
1-CRX SI 91
2-NSX 2005
3-300ZX TWIN TURBO 97
Wow, I am the broke version of this guy. Z32 came out when I was in high school and my boss bought one new. I fell in love and eventually got my own NA. Kinda regret selling. I would change the tire fitment on this car tho.
Yeah steering is a bit weird in these cars but my 2+2 had the best steering ive ever used, I loved it, These cars are just great and are a blast to drive
I miss my z32,loved the handling... Nice and wide. Next time I must have a twin turbo....AND a twinz designs body kit.
+shinzantetsu I want their rear bumper with all my wants.
+Blackhole300ZX they have some awesome stuff don't they? I'm. Dying to get a tt
Damn that's really nice that color with black leather lucky bastard
Beautiful car, holy craaaaaap...!
I wish I had a ride to feature on this youtube channel! Nice 300zx
