so if things couldnt get any worse, my mom blames half of this on my dad cause she said he knew the "true" power behind the car, so now she said that i didnt know how to handle the car i would like to see anyone, anyone pull from a 90 degree drift to full foward in one lane. So now my mom wants me away from my dad, far away so now shes looking for houses in NC, SC, FL, GA, and AZ. And the claims adjuster just called me, i need to get my car painted, and a new emblem, her car is totaled, greatttttt. im f*cked side ways right now

I copied this from my local board. The guy also has a 1993 300z

Yes. At stock power levels they are great. When you push them more and more they get to be some what tricky. The crank problem is being worked on I think. I haear that the guy from huntington with over 700AWHP is testing a different crank. That could be wrong though. Also, our cars have problems with spinning main bearings. The block supposedly does not supply the area with oil properly so many have had bad luck with this. The Getrag transmission seems to be the biggest problem though. Our gears are beastly and may be just as strong as Supra gears, but being a more complicated AWD design we have some flaws. The synchros are pretty weak and can go out if the car is driven hard (and improperly). Our center differential, known as a Viscous Coupling Unit, can overheat and puke out silicon goo and then the car wont move too well. Then the output shaft and transfer case problems I spoke about before. Also the shift forks are not the strongest out there. If someone is claiming to have a high HP 3S then they have dropped some serious coin to make sure this car will last. Solutions are: MW 300M output shaft ($600), MW 300M transfer spool ($600), Kormex output shaft and transfer spool (not as strong as the MW but only $250 each), center diff eliminator ($300 but locks the car in 50/50 F/R torque split), steel transfer case (still working on it $300), possibly a new CFDS ($1200), and all the other crap. But anyways, you can see what I am talking about. I am dealing with all of these problems and my car is almost stock. There are not that many 600whp+ 3S cars out there. Ok, my lesson on the stealth/3000GT is done for today. Now you know why I have been traveling on foot for the last 6-7 weeks.

Actually, the quality is pretty decent. The bad design was in the early Getrag trannies and the general oil circulation in the 6G72 block (this block is in alot of cars, and was not designed for the 3s). 2nd and 3rd gen transmissions have little to no problems. The 6 speed swap is a great one for an easy solution to the 1st gen problems. It cost alot though.

Our cranks are known to be ticking time bombs past 500 AWHP. It isnt a question of if the crank will die, but when it will die. Also, if it is a 92 then it has the crappy transfer case (known to explode past 400AWHP) and possibly the 18 spline output shaft (bereaks and strips). I dont know. I didnt think any of the super high HP 3S cars were in Pitt. There are a few closer to Philly and one in Huntington WV that I know of.

my car isnt wrecked, its just a lil scuffed up on the front bumper, not even dented. The only thing that is damaged is the emblem, and maybe the grill, but unlikely. Looks like it was just bent a lil bit and i can bend it back
