300zx's are known for their reliability issues, especially the turbo ones, and especially the jap imports. That one is rare tho, if it is a manual, it will be the rarest of its kind.

I was gonna buy one, i absolutely love the looks and the roof and the sound of the engine. After talking to workshops, importers etc, i changed my mind. Still a nice car if u have the $$ to maintain it.

Its an extremely bad idea to buy a cheap example, u get what u pay for, and millions of things can go wrong. Check out 300zx forums...cant remember the address.

Electrics, and MANY other problems that come from too much heat. Also workshops do not enjoy working on them too much as they have a packed engine bay, takes ages to get to anything, and therefore costs you more too. Their gearboxes(although similar to a skyline gearbox) seem to have serious issues. Instrument clusters have been known to warp/crack. Heater core has been known to leak(releasing coolant into the cabin)

List goes on. As i said, look for 300zx forums.

I ended up getting a skyline because it seems like the next best thing, and better in many important ways. Easy to maintain...cheapER parts...etc...

how can you say that a skyline is the next best thing behind a 300zx? are you sure you want to publicly announce this?

oh, and a little birdy told me that the engine bay is soooo cramped that you have to take the whole engine out just to get to the turbos. now that would serious suck a big hairy testicle

Sorry, i though the skyline was the next best thing at the time. I now believe the skyline is a better thing :D

The engine bay is cramped but as far as i remember, its not THAT bad...

Ill take a look next time in in my friends Z...

The looks are the thing that attracted me in the first place. I think they are the nicest shapes ever. Plus the engine sounds like nothing else...(skyline engines also have a very distinctive note of course :) )

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
