Default Wow, I was thinking about selling my 300Zx but maybe not after all the BHG stories

Seriously always wanted a Supra but I have read a lot of BHG stories or warnings in the last 2 days to make me stick with my VG powered 300ZX..

My Z has 58K on the clock and runs fine...as much as I want one I dont think I am going to get into the Supra club unless I find one really clean with a new head gasket done already...

kind of sad about it actually...

If you were to read the whole story youll find that its a very easy fix and is almost the only thing that goes bad on these motors. Keep reading! and join the supra club

I don't know about you guys but have you were seen an engine bay on the 300zx turbo or non there isn't room to fit a needle in there, you tell me whats easier to work on? Plus you're gonna be driving a supra, i love the car!

dont go crazy and push the car all the time and your chances will be less. just cuz u own a supra turbo doesnt mean your gonna get a BHG. i mean they're likely but be smart with the car.

as with any car take care of it it will take care of you..but with an older car you dont know how the previous owner(s) treated her.

and plus looking @ these forums 9 out of 10 times you just hear about what goes wrong..maybe a few people colaberating project ideas but i dont see that too often mainly 1st time owners braggin on a stock car (no offense lol)

but the supra is well worth the risk relitivly low cost and a great build platform if you arent broke as a joke like me
