I'm a car dealer and every week I see several of these cars at auctions and wholesale lots. They can't give them away. Usually blown head gaskets, overheating or blowing smoke. I can appreciate there old now but more than likely it will give you drame sooner or later. If you must have one maybe an N/A would be a wiser choice.

dammit, this engine sounds horrible

vg30dett = veggie = broccoli under the bonnet

broccoli does not have a nice sounding exhaust note

broccoli has turbo and cooling problems

broccoli is a pain to work on

skyline/silvia are greatly superior to the fairladyZ

one of my friends has a orange/pink one, its cool but a headfk for him because of the mechanical problems.

still, nice looking car, put an rb25 in if itll fit :D

I've had one for 9 years. It's a Nissan - of course it's reliable if you look after it.

Beautiful car that still gets regular head turners.

Quite a bit quicker than my Stagea, much more sporty feel to the car, but nowhere near as good a daily driver.

Lethal in the wet.

As someone said, its an 18 year old car. It will need maintenance. Many have very low ks for the age as owners tend to use them for a weekend car.

Having said that, several Aus300zx members have 300+ks on their cars and they still go well.

I'm planning to give mine to my daughter for her 21st. It was born the same year and month as her.

Should last her for ages as a weekend toy.

      Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
