From the Dominican Republic, this is my kickass 1990 300ZX, or just my "Z", as I (and most people) call it. I took a bunch of pictures today (16.FEB.2005) and hope other people can appreciate the beauty of my car, as I've appreciated neat cars since '95 when I started using the net. (Well, actually, my passion for cars started much later, but oh well...)
Page by page I have a few pictures, I'll tell you how I've (very quickly) organized them.

BEFORE GETTING TO THE PICS
--------------------------
After owning a '93 Integra for about a year, I decided I was done with front-wheel drive vehicles. I needed something with rear traction.. As I'm not rich (or even close to it!), I started looking for a Nissan 240SX or a Toyota Supra MK3 (preferibly 90-91, because of the rear-lights difference with the 86-89 models). There aren't many 240's in here, specially not in good shape, so I had spotted the best Supra MK3 in the country (don't be surprised, this is a rather small country).
However, one day, I came across this Z. A Doctor was selling it.. Z's had always been my dream car, but it was way out of my league (moneywise). But I fell in love with it, I said "Heck, it's now or never!" .. and it happened: Me, a guy with NO money, without having sold my Integra yet, got himself in a bunch of debts in order to buy my Z.
Well, 2 months later I sold my Integra and nowdays I have no debts. Still, I'm unemployed right now, but as an engineer I should be able to find a decent joob rather soon. (I emphasize on this in case you're asking why I don't do like those guys who have spent 20,000 USD in modifications).
Most of the modifications were done by the guy who owned it previous to the doctor who sold it to me (this doctor, I tell ya, covered it daily, drove it only ocationally, kissed it goodnight every night, and even told the Z bed-time stories for it to fall asleep... he was crazy about this car).
Some of the after-market pieces on this car are the following:
NOTE: I wont list them all, coz, frankly, I don't know them all. Sorry about that.
Stillen Body Kit (rear bumper, rear wing, front bumper, 2 side skirts).
Eibach Springs.
Tokico shocks.
Greddy Turbo Timer.
Greddy Boost Control (Profec B, low boost is stock 9 psi, high boost 18 psi.).
Boost Gauge.
Two air/fuel gauges (one for each 3 cylinders).
Oil Preasure gauge.
Clarion CD Player, with Clarion Proaudio 6 CD changer in the trunk.
Alpine powerplant.
ClutchMaster Stage 3 clutch.
Nismo 555 Injectors.
Upgraded Turbos (they can handle some more psi than the stock ones).
HKS blow off valve.
JWT racing Computer.
Stillen Short Shifter.
4 "stabilizing" bars (don't know if they're called this in english, sorry). 2 front, 2 rear.
Shift Light.
BBS 18" rims (with 275/35 rear, 235/40 front tires).
Gas preassure regulator.
Polyurethan bushings.
Aluminum flywheel.
Brembo ventilated discs in all 4 wheels.
Hrm... can't think of anything else right now, but I know there's a couple of more things.. sorry.
I'll post dyno charts soon, but it's uncertain how powerful it is right now. The doctor said that @ 18psi, it dynoed 450HP at the wheels (!!). It's by FAR the fastest car I've ever driven (and been in). I've eaten M3's, Porsche Carreras (non-turbo) ... and I don't even spend gas on Hondas. :P .. Just kidding!!! :)
