Trade Me Find: Twin Turbo V8 300ZX Drag Car

This weeks Trade Me Find caught my eye as soon as it showed up on my Trade Me search in specialist cars, a mental twin turbo Nissan 300ZX that is built for drag racing

The main thing that drew my attention was this set of twin GT35 turbochargers that protrude out of the bonnet right next to a massive bonnet scoop. I immediately thought "this thing looks insane" and it is with the Trade Me description stating that it swaps lanes frequently when run on 25 psi and so is run on 10 psi safely.

The ZX is powered a 350 Chev motor with the twin GT35 turbos with new low compression hypereutectic pistons, lumpier cam, NOS and a whole host of upgrades that is too big for me to list. It currently runs on 100 octane race fuel and no power is stated though but i'd say it would probably be more than 500 BHP.

The interior is fully purpose built and features an aluminium dash and center console, racing gauges, a racing bucket seat and a fire extinguisher and full roll cage for stiffness and safety. I would say this car would be crazy light considering the interior is pretty much stripped out and that most of the weight is on the front end due to the large engine and turbo setup.

Overall, this is probably one of the most mental 300ZX's ever built and must be incredibly fun tearing up the quarter mile in. The car currently has a buy now price of $15,000 and starting bid price of $10,000 which is incredibly cheap for a ready to race twin turbo v8 drag car. The car is also located in Auckland.
