Review

Iv had my 95 zero for 6 years. Im putting it thru a service life extension program. Its liveing on synthetic fluids now, did the timeing belt, hardware, water pump and all the belts and hoses. Its so nice to work on a rear wheel drive again. I recently found a 94 2+2 for my girlfriend, in great shape. Get the factory service manual. Doing the work yourself is by far the best option, and its really not very hard. Pay special attention to the timeing belt and hardware, on these engines, if you lose the timeing belt, you lose the engine. They are just SO much fun, at the end of a crappy day, just take a ride. See you all later

Z32 300zx Twin Turbo = FUN

Review

I have loved the Z line of cars as long as I could remember. Once I has the chance to own a Z32 (chassis code for 1990-1996) I had to do just that. I bought the car to have fun with on the week ends, but loved the car so much! I couldn't stay out of it. I drove it on 1000mi + road several times. It was comfortable, easy to use, & just fun to be in! Though as with any older turbo car, it did become high maintenance. I work on my own cars, and the Z32 is not as hard as it looks to work on, but it's still not easy. My advice is to replace any & all rubber hoses, first thing when you get one.

Favorite Features

Large, comfortable, race car feeling cockpit, smooth & plentiful power from the turbos, & its amazing handling!

Suggested Improvements

New vaccuum,& coolant hoses. New intercooler soft pipes (silicone is a very good choice).

This car pumps me up just looking at it. Styling is timeless. Handling is breath taking. Non turbo has more power than anyone needs. I LOVE this car and will own it forever.

Review

I purchased this vehicle in December of 2005. It had high mileage but had been maintained well. The car handles better than anything that I have ever driven, or ridden in for that matter. It is so fun to get the looks and stares that you get with a car this good-looking. The t-tops are a great feature and make summer driving even more fun. I get 20 mpg and the car requires premium gas so it isn't the most economical car you can own, but then it wasn't designed to be an economy car. It was designed to be a sports car and man did they get that right! If you are looking for a used sports car, I would highly recommend the 300ZX!

Favorite Features

The exterior design is so beautiful and timeless. I'm driving this car 12 years after is was produced and it is still one of the best looking cars on the road. It handles superbly. The price for a used Z is so much better now than the $40,000 or so that would have been required in 95.

Suggested Improvements

I sometimes wish that I had the turbo version. The car feels heavy and underpowered compared to some of the newer sports cars and sports sedans. My wife's Altima has 250 hp and is noticeably quicker. However, the ZX is no slouch.

Well! I just purchased this 95 300zx a couple days ago but so far I have mixed feelings about the vehicle. It's a very beautiful car, it runs great, but it's leaking oil and I still dont know where the leak is. And the engine check light is going on and off. I hope its nothing serious. I still love the car though. It runs so strong and smooth. I have always been obsessed with the toyota supra but this 300zx has changed my mind and I regret that I didn't buy this vehicle sooner. It's very well built and I admire the person who engineered this beautiful vehicle. After all I think I made a right choice and when I have extra cash I will buy another Z.

Favorite Features

The shape, the black convertible top on a white body is an awesome match. The front end, the rear end, the head lights... well I can go on and on. Even though it looks small it's very roomy. It's a 12 year old vehicle but it's very well engineered and it still gets a lot of attention.

Suggested Improvements

A couple cup holders would be useful. And a bigger glove compartment would be nice. But after all it's a sports car so what do I expect.
