Welcom Jack300,me allso a convert from the 300ZX site(TonyC) am realy enjoying my 300 Sport,just hope i can mellow and settle for 200+bhp for long enough,cracking car,the sound system is to die for B) Tony

If thats the case why do the people who do the is3 turbo kits say you need headgaskets et al for decent boost levels ? To run a turbo setup you need to reduce the compression ratio to around 8.0 to 8.5,(thicker head gasket)this will allow boost to be increased to around 10 psi and depending on fueling,mapping,internal component strength etc up to say 14 psi,if you use forged internals such as pistons,crank,wild cams,con rods, then upto say 30psi.To fit a turbo conversion to a 300 you do not need to lower the compression,(thicker head gasket)but you will only achieve around 5psi safely,prob around 50bhp or so,(power is depended on good fuel/air mix and other matters too). I could be wrong but have done a little research and the conclusion is that witH a thicker gasket and turbo running 12 psi thats about 310bhp,the GS300 is well capable of that.At this moment in time(£ vs $) fitting a turbo conversion rather than a Super Charger is way cheaper,(Kits around $1000)but if it was not down to cost the Super Charger would be the better option. Am sure theres peeps on here that will correct me if wrong on the above but its just a genralisation reply,one thing i am not defo on is wether the Aristo internals are a like for like match of the GS internals,if the are then great,as then the GS will take loads more power stock than i stated.

Stunning mate,just love the looks.

Hi all and thanks for the warm welcome,heres a few pictures of my Sport :) Have already done oil and filter,and autobox oil change,leather clean/feed treatment,have used FINESSIT all over body work them wash,polish,wash carpets,new mats,cleaned engine,cleaned underneath chassis,just got two tyres to get,sort out the handling(drop links etc)get it laser aligned.

Well seen as after over a year of registering i finaly have a GS300 Sport,1997,i should now introduce myself as i dont think i did originaly.Im a bit of a petrol head,(putting it mildly),have ownend various performance cars,mainly 300zx TT,raced them,showed them,blown them,you get the picture,like to go to meets and shows but been too busy this year what with house move etc. A little update on car now i have had it few days,well the droplinks are shot,discs suspect warping,,tracking way out,one tyre worn bad on edge,small rust spot on body line drivers door centre,two small bumper scuffs,(all of which i was told about before hand)apart from that all seems ok,and the run back from Yorkshire to Northampton was great,no problems,apart from loading up with £70 of fuel before hand!,turns out its only done 84k too. Any pointers on the best place to get parts,experts that know these cars inside out,mapping,other performance mods,anysuch thing as workshop manual,owners manual,etc etc all welcome. Will post up pics soon. Tony :)
