Hi and welcome

Your scoob still has the limiter on, you can buy de-limiting units on the net approx £25 (or its a cable type thing on early scoobs, I cant remember), that'll sort you out for going past 112kph, although dont over do the top-speed runs, many scooby engines have gone pop following being held flat out for long periods. With it being an early wrx I think standard it has 240bhp, but that is based on it being run on 100 ron fuel, will be abit less if your just using optimax.

hope that helps..

Welcome!
I've only been in one 300ZX TT but I thought that my 95 WRX was a good match for the Nissans performance up to about 120mph. Off boost the Imprezas a bit gutless (and there's a load more lag than the 300), but past 3-4k they pick up pretty well.
Some people posted some performance times on here a while back (including me):http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...ighlight=70mph
you could use these times to see if your car is running ok.
You can get the speedo converted to loose the 112mph limit (look on eBay for a replacement face and cable converter), but WRXs aren't designed for the sort of top-end that you'll have seen in the 300ZX.
