Ive owned the same 300zx for 20yrs, even shipped it to Cuba and back. Historically it was one of the winningest race cars in IMSA history. In 94 it won class in 24hr lemans, 12hr Sebring and 24hr at Daytona. The car held land speed record of 261. 932 at bonniville salt flats for years. As stated car and driver pitted it against all its japanese rivals during their production years and the Z won. For me its been a great ride awesome GT car more so than my aston martin and it can hold groceries.

My first car right out of HS in 2017 was a 94 NA Z32. YES it was a pain in the ASS! But I don t regret it at all. I loved it. Sadly i moved out and didn t have space at my apartment for it since I had already bought a new car so I had to let it go before it got stollen from my parents neighborhood. The guy I sold it too was so happy! My plans are too hopefully in the next few years to import a JDM TT version with less than 80k miles! Can t wait I miss having a Z

Actually Cubic centimeters and Liters, are practically the same, 1000cc is 1 Litre. Here in Spain (I guess in every metric system country) we use it either way in engine size. But it is true that smaller engines, are normally refered in CC, because saying that an engine is 0. 6Litres sound a bit weird whereas saying an engine is 2000cc sounds good and is used (normally without saying cc, we only say that engine is a 2000 )

Got a 90 twin turbo at it's kinda running but not really for a good 15 years now. It's fine for going 20 mph to look cool. But everything is dying. Had a problem one time rats started eating the wires and made a nest under the battery. The wood they used ( yes wood) to separate the cockpit from the fuel cell and cat back rot already so inside it's all kinds of smells and heat. Ti's a hot mess!

I own 2 300Zx's my first car was a 1990 2+2 Auto I bought for 1, 000 off of craigslist and I built it up to be a really sick 300Zx that I still own today. I'm 23 btw, and my 2nd 300Zx was supposed to be a parts car for my first 300 then the guy sold the whole RUNNING Stock 1993 300Zx 2+0 Slicktop for JUST 400! these cars ARE pain in the buts to work on a lot of times but MAN they are beautiful!

Loved mine( Z32, great sound, fantastic power and amazing torque delivery, an absolute pain in the ass to work on, failing ptu, leaking fuel pipes warping brake callipers and crappy pcv system and more vacuum pipes to get mixed up than you would believe, still looking at buying another tho, you have to remember the Supra release was delayed so they could beat this

I always preferred the Z32 over the R34 and the A80. It has such a simple a perfect design, I wish cars looked today like this. It seems that form over function looks much better, since most cars today are just overdesigned POSs. This car is always going to be on my Top 10 favourite list along with the S13 180SX, the S15 Silvia, the Z33 and the P11 Primera.

I installed a complete aftermarket stereo system in a Z32 and It was a major pain in the BUTTOCKS! all that 30 year old brittle, plastic interior trim, falling apart in my hands(arrrrrrrgh)and the door panels are super wonky to remove. I always wanted one of these cars but just dealing with the stereo was enough to rear wheel steer me in another direction.
