NEWBIE Z 2+2 question?

[bigbadbrad]

OK, I've searched but can really find an answer. Whats the is a (z32) 2+2. Is it the twin turbo model? What is it? I've seen turbo Z's with and with out 2+2. What is it?

[SeVa-S13]

"Backseat." (thusly; slightly longer, heavier, and no TT's...from what I understand.)

[dickie]

lol it took me forever to figure that out when i was 16 and thought i would be able to get one...

Japanese 2+2's have Twin turbos...AND T tops too!

[StatixNWH]

its a 300zx with back seats....heavier, longer...no TT here but TT in japan, most ppl get the 2+2 to make it a TT to make it "jdm tyte"

beat me to it.

WOW, that whole back seat thing never even crossed my mind. I remember when I wanted to find out how many seats they had I looked at a pic, it said TT and i guess 2+2. The thing had a back seat. I better start looking twice now. Thanks guys!

just fyi, regardless of the kind of car, 2+2 is a pretty standard term for a 4 seater2 door of which a 2 seat model was available.

term commonly used referring to Z's and RX's.

Is the "backseat" about like the "backseat" of a S13?

[nsrZ32]

haha yeah the backseat in a 2+2 is pretty worthless

plus it throws off the proportions of the car and the 2+2's just look plain stupid cause they're too long

I wouldnt go that far, yes it might look a little different, but it is a little lower at the roof and a longer wheelbase just provides better handling characteristics. It was the best selling model in japan with respect to the z's and thats why you might see so many of them on jdm sights etc. most of the parts are compatible between the two except some of the obvious drivetrain, exhaust and body mods that may be affected by lengths.

if you are looking for one I say go ahead and get it and then swap it and enjoy the thrill of getting a 300+hp twin turbo under the nose of your insurance company

Hahahahahaha...riiiiight. The 2 seater is very squished looking and is one of the main reasons why almost EVERY aerokit made in Japan is for the 2+2...ever notice that? Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but so am I. But you can't beat the facts...especially the ones noted in the post above mine. I guess there is intelligent life on NICO.

"Z32" = 90-96 300ZX, this applies to all 2 seater or 2+2's and N/A's

also the 2+2 usualy denotes a back seat fitted for 2 only, in a 240sx there is a third seatbelt (and it woulod be hella uncomfortable)

as for the body of the Z32 2+2 it is only 11 inches longer than the 2 seater, and as made clear in this thread there si a market for the longer heavier 2+2's some people need the space for kids others simply like the slightly longer look, for my money smaller and lighter is going to be faster every time

I'm actually running a twin turbo conversion 2+2 that I just happened to have before I got into the idea of racing. Took out the seats (kinda pointless right to do a conversion then huh?) but I need the space for mounting in the trunk for heavier items such as nitrous and rear mount battery and so on. I still want to use the car so the rear seats, or where they used to be, is manily where I carry stuff around when I need too. having my own delete of the rear seats leaves the space open for subs or a nice display or just nothing for weight's sake.

I wouldn't be so sure of gettin a hell of a deal like that with insurance, I went in to do that exact thing, said I had a 2+2 and the turbo question came up still. When that was there he wanted to know everything under the hood, and starting naming off things that would void the policy completely. They often have details about telling the company of major changes otherwise you can loose the policy pay out upon inspection after a wreck (the worst time to find out your policy is voided). Maybe some places would let it slide, but mine DID NOT lol

Like most are trying to argue for the 2+2 the longer look, gives a little, and I mean a little, bit more body to the car but not tons. The main reason I have it, it was my first manual car so yea....
