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.

    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
