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 :) )

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
