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 :) )

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
