  • Few cars from the 1990s are as distinct as Nissan's 300ZX. Launched for the 1990 model year, the Z32 marked the complete transition of Nissan's Z from a small sports car to a midsize grand tourer. In the eighteen years since it left US shores, the 300ZX has cultivated a devoted following. Hundreds, if not thousands, of Z32s have been modified to new extremes.
    Joe Gamas's is the finest we've ever seen.

    Oh my... that engine and turbo noise though... He's not lying when he says this 300ZX is a jet fighter... One of the best I've ever seen...

      Except he drives an hour and a half for an oil change. I'm sorry, I'm thankful towards him for having an appreciation for cars and spending the money to have this one saved and taken care of. But there is still a nerve of mine that gets touched the wrong way when someone can't do there own oil changes. How much of a "car guy" are you really?

      Nissan figured if you are losing you should at least have a nice view while losing. Front looks kind of menacing so those rolling up on it think twice before messing with it. Had 90zxtt black on black. I still think this side of italian super cars it is the best looking car normal folks could ever afford.

    I understand this guy completely. I had a 93 300zx 2+2 not a twin turbo but still fast. the NA has 225hp while the twin turbo has 300hp and only about 1k to upgrade it to 400hp. I regret getting rid of it because of economic reasons but I had one about 15 years ago when gas was $1.50/gallon. ha there was no problem "topping it off" (filling it 2 the max) everytime. The interior felt like you were snuggled and firm inside the cockpit not tight but snuggled so u felt confident that u had total control of the car especially when were going fast. U don't even have to upgrade these cars. They are awesome in just the stock version. Soon as my priorities are straight I'm getting another one.

    • @jeremythompson6822

    • @keithyoung7381
      @keithyoung7381 Рік тому +3

      Only 1k for 100 more hp. Cant see how you came to that as 400 would mean at least 550cc injectors, boost controller and ecu upgrades. I paid 1000cad for just injectors and the werent top of the line. Ecu upgrade to 400 brake or wheel hp would mean haltech or equivalent. Thats 1500cad+. Boost controller (cheap) 250+cad. Looking at at least 2k usd. But still not too bad compared to other vehicles

      The NA 300zx with a manual did 0-60 in 6.7 and a 15s quarter...modern V6 minivans are quicker to 60mph. Manual NA Z's are fun to drive but they're by no means fast. My ten year old Lexus is350 will crack off 5.0s flat to 60mph measured with a draggy GPS logger.

    Absolutely mint. Most body kits dont do this car justice. You found one that complements the vehicle well and a color that shows the beauty and architecture of this masterpiece. This is what the 350z should have been. This is what my dream car looks like. The Z32 is so underrated, it's a shame it didnt last longer.

    i like the way he speaks about his 300z. you can immediately tell he is not a general car enthusiast, but a one-off love with his 'z'. i bet if he fell in love with another model or brand, that car would be very lucky to have him as an owner. reminds me of that disney's herbie kinda-love. man and machine connected.

    Absolutely gorgeous Joe. She looks perfect. Im a purist when it comes to the Z. There is not much I hate more then seeing this beautiful car riced out with god awful body kits and equally hideous front bumper covers. But in my mind I have always thought that maybe some day, IF I could find the right metal fabricator I would have him make me new front and rear wide body fenders the way Nissan could have. But I must say, I have just seen on my screen what up until now I've only seen in my mind. I completely relate to your feelings and what JoZ means to you because I feel exactly the same about mine. She is a 95TT, I have had her since 96 and will have her till the day I die. This video is now 6+ years old so I don't know if you will even see this post. But I pray you and JoZ are still making beautiful engine music together

    Holy shit. What a video. I must say that is the most beautiful Z32 I've ever seen. I love the widebody, which is extremely surprising for me because I HATE wide cars. She is gorgeous all over. the rear and front "bumper" areas, the spoilers, lights, that unbelievable color, and virtually all of that interior, especially that steering wheel. And that is probably the very first time I've ever liked scissor doors on something other than a supercar. Fucking awesome way to express your feelings about a vehicle, and that's a hell of a way to pick out a name for her!

      I'm still watching this video... I owned a 93 2+2 pearl white in high school days. Master cylinder leak almost killed me when my breaks caught an air bubble while I was approaching an exit off the freeway.
      The exit turns 160 degrees or so at a steep incline with ditches and palm trees on both sides.
      I turned the wheel so hard the rear end started coming around and I pulled the E-brake. I did a 360 degree turn going 70mph and came to a complete stop.
      Still, I want another Z.
      Then I want it to look like JoeZ
