Nissan 300ZX

I bought a 91 manual 300zxTT on ebay for 5,400 -needed minor repairs
The 300zx twin turbo is a little less powerful and heavier than the Supra twin turbo. If you are not a Z lover like me an have an unbiased opinion I believe the 300 would still be a better choice. I mean the Supra is just such a great car that the demand makes it easily three times the price of a reasonably equal condition. The same may be said about the rx7 TT. If you really want a nineties 6cyl 3.0 twin turbo for cheap ty the 3000gt or Dodge Stealth. They are great cars and heavily underrated or just looked over by people who dont know what they are talking about.
The only problem I didn’t foresee with this car was the cost of the parts. Its true that you can get the chassis cheap nowadays, but when something needs replacing it costs a pretty penny. Most times you can pay a little more (or less in some cases) to get aftermarket parts. I wanted to keep mine completely stock so I paid for OEM parts which were about the same price as the aftermarket stuff, but for the catback exhaust system a new OEM unit was much more pricy than the off brand aftermarket and almost as expensive as the top brand stuff. I kinda regret not getting HKS or Blitz, it would do so much to a turbo car, but if I start buying aftermarket I wont be able to stop.
Just because this car has almost 20 less hp than the Supra doesn’t mean it can't perform. It has a 6cyl v style engine and 2 sets compared to the 4 seats of the Supra and the inline six, theoretically better for the twisties, especially after some aftermarket work. The car TT is only available in a 2 seat coupe while the N/A has a 2+2 option in America. Four seat twin turbos can be made from adding a twin turbo engine from a N/A 2+2(probably by purchasing an entire JDM VG30DETT front clip for Japan with low miles). 2+2 TT's were sold in Japan, where they call the 300zx a Fairlady Z. The manual TT has produces 300hp and 283ft/lbs torque and the N/A has 222hp The auto tt has slightly smaller turbos and the 95 and 96 TT's lost 20 hp due to emissions control. TTops are standard although there are a fey slicktop models out there which are lighter. These are rare though. In 93 Nissan introduced the convertible model which was also only offered nonturbo. The turbo model has perks like suspension that can be adjusted form the inside to sport or touring settings and Nissan's HICAS rear wheel steering system that automatically turns the rear wheels a slight bit when you are going 20-75mph depending on the how hard you yank the wheel(not on how far the wheels are turned). (I let my friend drive it and he thought that he was in a drift when he made made a fast uturn around an island, but it was the HICAS doing its thing. Professionals dont like this feel for the most part and if you are tuning your car it is unneccisary weight) I believe in 93 or 94 they converted HICAS to run by just an electric motor, reducing weight. Also the TT has slightly beefier drive axle, differential and staggered wheels(8.5 in the back 7.5 front)

2960 cc 6 cyl 24 valve VG30DE or VG30DETT
0-60 5.2 sec TT
1/4 mile 13.8 sec TT
5sp manual or 4 sp auto
2 seat or 2+2
much more

The '93 models marked a changeover by Nissan to comply with some government reg's. As a general rule, their mechanical systems are unchanged from previous years, but some of the controls have been changed. The A/C system was redesigned to run on R-134a refrigerant, which means you can get it serviced today at a reasonable price.

This car, especially the convertibles, is, was and always has been a specialty car. Total importation of all models from 1990 through 1996 was a bit over 80,000, so getting parts is becoming very hard. That said, maintenance is key: if you do the required maintenance, the car 'should' last for at least 20 years, assuming you give it an enthusiast's care, and replace parts before they wear out and cause problems.

The driving experience is lots of fun and the 'look at me' styling attracts a lot of attention. But think of it as a special car, and not a daily driver. Although it came with undercoating from the factory, try to keep the car out of heavy rain and don't even think of driving it in snow and ice.

As Nissan's slogan said: "Enjoy The Ride".

If you can find one that has been well cared for then you can't beat these cars. We have had ours for about 3 years and taken it cross country. We have had zero problems with the car. It runs great, drives great and is super reliable. You can drive as fast as you like all day long, no problem. It is a Nissan and is well made. If you are considering a purchase take the time to find one that has been taken care of, it's well worth the extra money to get a good one. I paid well above average for mine but I also got a car that was well above average.

grade a #1. a great car.1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

I like it. it needs work but i bought it that way knowing it. its my project car nice car. with a little money and hard work it will be great

Well what can I say, i just get one of the finest 90's car ever made, Obviously not talking about european but for a japanese car in the 90, this shoul put aware all american gigants at that time, they decide to make trash instead cars and that's the story.
Regarding the car well it's perfect almost new and everithing on it it's original, a truly beuty.

thanks to the seller, now i can enjoy the car one a time.

THIS CAR WAS ADVERTISED AS GREAT RUNNING AND VERY NICE. THE CAR IS JUNK, WOULD NOT START AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE

I bought this car because it was my dream car when I was in school. When I saw they one on EBay, I couldn't help but "toy" with the idea and so I put it on my "watch" list. At the end of the auction, I had noticed that it was still available at a very reasonable price so I bid on it and won!! I love the way my sports car turns heads as I cruise down the road. What I don't like is that I am not comfortable driving a stick shift and I'm feeling to old or out of shape to climb/crawl in and out of it . . . it sits very low.

The seller was easy and flexable to deal with an over all great purchase A+. I bout a Nessan 300zx from the seller, i had issues with the shipping of the vehical and the seller was patient enough and held the product untill i could make arrangements for alternative shipment!

fun car.I really like the styling and all the Nissans I have owned have been very dependable. We bought thies car to road race with and it performs very well.
