Has/Does anybody own/owned a 1990-1994 300zx and what do/did you think of the car?

Answer 1

I have a z32 (1992 300zx)
For the most part it was a pretty decent car.
Ran up until 175K and I deceided to import a Japanese Engine.
As far as repairs while I had it...keep up on the oil changes that is a major part right there.
Stock Nissan alternators seem to go out around the 50k mark...squeaky timing belt...oh boy look for a good 500...upgrade the valve springs as well. The turbos are the things to really keep an eye on after 75K+ miles.
Twin Turbo cars are pretty much always on the expensive side of repairs.
Overall the 300zx is a pretty nice car...something you dont see all the time...plus there are tons of aftermarket modifications available for the car as well to tweek it a little more on the performance side.

Answer 2

Yes I have and I loved driving it as it is an awesome car to drive. It has a lot of power, but it is a heavy car. But if you give it gas it moves. It's also pretty wide and low so it handles really well.

However it is very expensive to maintain. Even maintenance stuff. For example, timing belt, water pump and other basic belts can cost about $800 - $900 or even more.

I would buy another one in a heartbeat, but only when I have enough money to put into it.

Answer 3

300 zxs arent the most reliable things on the planet (not unreliable though, just not a volvo 240), and the nonturbo ones are pretty slow. Overall theyre way too heavy for being performance cars, and are kinda sluggish because of it.

theres better alternatives out there.

Answer 4

That car is fast but mantainance is a B*tch. Expensive, unreliable, but very nice looking

Answer 5

6 hrs labor to replace the radiator, expensive junk

Answer 6

I searched the engine returned with nothing.
what's that car?
