The Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo, is a car that with a few modifations can real shock you with their power output. It comes stock with 300 hp, by adding after market turbos, turbo regulator, duel air intake & filters, and performance chip you will be able to outperform most sport cars on the road today. This will easily put you at over 400 hp. This will whip a new Corvette, BMW M3, Etc. When dealing with turbos power is so easy to gain, and you will gain so much more than in non turbo cars. If you want to spend money, because they can be expensive to maintain. I give this car an A, Thanks!

Despite the car being 12 years old, it still looks very modern in styling. I still get a lot of looks from Motorists on the highway and I still can kick mustang, camaro & porche A$$ with just my stock Turbo engine that runs as smooth and powerful as if it had 20K miles on it. The paint is still shiney glossy, the body form is still sexy, even sexier thatn todays modern styles by far, the drive is Absolute fun and the handling is beyond real... This is THE sports car without the Mercedes/Porche namebrand...I am the envy of all my friends, the girls love it and their squeals match the powerful acceleration from my twin turbos. I Love it...

As a new owner of a used 1990 Twin Turbo 300ZX, I must tell u that I'm extremely pleased. I've wanted a Twin Turbo every since I drove my friends. The ultimate power in this vehicle is astounding, and it's an automatic. I was counseled that in the Twin Turbo models the automatic is the best choice because of problems with clutch and rear differential in those years. I've only had it for a week, but it's been a week of absolute pure Z pleasure.

The turbo is a total rocket. At 300 HP it does 0-60 in about 5 secs. Will keep up with newer 'vettes. Reasonably comfortable car that handles very well considering its weight. Great looks - still gets lots of compliments. Can be modified to go even faster - I know guys who are getting 500+ hp (think NASCAR) out of these without breaking them.

Very fun, very fast, very tough car. Outstanding looks, real sports car like looks. Interior takes some getting used to, but all in all an awesome car. Car has massive issues with its seals. Make sure a proper mechanic does the work and make sure they always replace the seals and replace them right.
1990 Twin Turbo 300ZX-Hugely underrated

I bought this 90 Turbo Z recently, and it was worth every penny. I did not buy a Mustang 5.0, Camaro Z28, C4 Corvette, etc. simply because they were all built like crap, although still fast. The other two Japenese turbos of the 90s, the RX-7 and the Supra, were WAY overpriced and so out of the question. The turbo Z accelerates like a lear jet, if you would consider a Camaro Z28 a fighter jet. Its power delivery is smooth, constant, and very quiet, yet overwhelmingly impressive. This is an awesome sports car, and even better because Nissan engineered and built this legend starting in 1989 and it still outperforms most true sports cars in 2004.

when i got the car it had 102,000 miles on it about 5,000 miles later the trans blew and the cam sensor went out. after i got all that taken care of the car has been good to me. there is a few upgraded parts that make the car one hell of a rocket like the boost controller and the jim wolf chip. so when i step on the gas now it just puts you back in your seat. I Would tell you to buy the car but only if you are willing to spend the money to fix it right in the first place.
TT Stands for T-tops, and Twin Turbocharging

On the Twin Turbo models (VG30DETT), the Vehicles are either equipped with Hydraulic, or Electronic Super HICAS (All Wheel Steer) Steering. That means the rear wheels turn the opposite way of the front wheels to maximize turning potential. You may need to learn how to get used to this before using your vehicle for any type of track driving. When picking After Market Rims for this vehicle, Also remember that (on the Twin Turbo models) the Rear Rims/Tires are Wider than the Front Rims/Tires. The Same can be said for remembering this when you purchase new tires, meaning don't ONLY go by the tire size as written on the FRONT or REAR tires & assume that all four wheels are the SAME size. The tires wont be radials so no need to rotate. 120,000K Miles is the limit for the serpentine Belt as well as the recommended fluid flush/refill. Some Nissan 300ZX Models are not equipped with Twin Turbochargers, Twin Inter-coolers, Super HICAS AWS, or Wider Rear Wheels. Those models which are Naturally Aspirated have an Engine Code Name VG30DE Which differs from the Turbo Engine code (VG30DETT). Both Engine options come with 5-Speed Manual, or 4-Speed Auto Transmissions. The Nissan 300ZX Z32 (1989-2000 Europe,Asia)(1990-96 North America) Model was available in three body types 1: 2 Seater Coupe 2: 4 Seater Coupe 3: 2 Seater Convertible. Both 2+0 and 2+2 coupes offered a rare Slick top opposed to the T-tops.

This is an amazing car and just gets better with age. Although parts are expensive it has hardly needed anything.
