    Hi can anyone help!
    My 19yr old wants a 300zx but it has twin turbo is there a way that I can get the turbo turned Off (bypassed) until he has more experience.
    thanks Maria

    No you can't " turn off " a twin turbo, the only way too avoid him driving one is to get a Non Turbo version commonly referred to as the VG30DE motor or N/A ( Naturally Aspirated ).

    Hi Maria, Just to;let you know that a naturally aspirated (NA) 300zx is still a very quick and capable car. My grandson bought one off me while he still had his Ps. Now has a 350zx. The 300zx NA is capable of over 200klm/hr and can get there very quickly. He should able to get a really good one for ~ $8000. If you pay less than this it is very probably going to cost him a LOT more in the future. There a lot of very capable 300zx owners in WA, get them to vet the car before your son buys.
    Good luck

    Martin

    haha should probably change my signature, i had two n/a's they were whole lot of fun but then discovered something called turbo and i was in love, though a little bit more headache than the n/a's besides "Having three zed's hardly driven and seating on the lawn drove the missus crazy lol
