Great car
i have had my 300zx turbo for about 6 months. no problems, except the battery had to be replaced. if you buy this car, expect to replace to turbos at 130,000-160,000 miles, eventhough i still have my original turbos at 156,000 miles
The Nissan 300zx Z32 is a real fair lady!
I just bought a 92 model NA 2 weeks ago now. So far I must just say, "Wow that is some fun ride"! The acceleration is awesome once you get around 3,000 to 3,500 rpm's, this thing starts to come alive. Winding out the gears on mechanical gauges is very satisfying. That 3.0 liter V-6, 24 valve, DOHC, Naturally Aspirated engine is pretty hot. I'm thinking about getting an INjen IS Cold Air Intake, but I guess first, I should do the timing belt... It has 118,300 miles but still hasn't lost its quick. So if you are thinking about buying one, they low ball the price at k be bee. It is usually hard to find one under $4,500 that's any good. There is nothing like a T bar roof as well. Update November 13, 2016 I'm not getting the intake but I did do the timing belt, spark plugs, drilled and slotted rotors with Ceramic pads, etc... I drove it from Florida to Pennsylvania and back with not even a hiccup. It can do a burn out at the drop of a hat, and just grips the road. Updated June 11 2018 I bought a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with the 3.6L pentestar v6. It has 300hp and will blow that 300zx out in a race any day... I spent way to much money on it to unload it now. Still kinda fun to drive... No mechanical failures since I've owned it...

Best Car I Ever Owned
I can best describe this car as an addiction. I need at least one Nissan Z fix a day. It is very powerful, and handles like no other car I have owned or driven. I would recommend this car to anyone who has a strong appreciation of cars, and not to someone who has no sense of style or performance (Prius Drivers). It has been very reliable, and never fails to get me from point 'a' to point 'z'. If anyone gets a chance to buy one, they should take it!
chick magnet
The look of this car will never get old. I put on a front air dam that makes this z look sick. For being almost 15 years old, this car is in excellent shape. The T-tops are easy to take on and off. Every day I get the.. "nice car"..
My baby !
Bought with 5000 km in 93. Kept it stock to look at but installed KN air intake, Stebro twin stainless exhausts, Centreforce clutch Custom performance chip. 390 hp at the crank 325 at the wheels with stout 340 ft lbs of torque. Cherry red, black leather interior. Garaged and sunny day driver only with 86,000 km on it now since new. Had a few minor issues with this car over the years but nothing major. People still gawk at this thing like they did from day one. 50 to 100k in second gear snaps you back twin turbo style ! This is a fast car, and will run with the exotic big dogs for pennies on the dollar. Recenty blew off a Charger RT hemi with it eating dust all the way.
the best sports car ever made
best car ever
One of the best cars ever!
The last of the great cars.
Z is the best sports car on the road.
By far the best sports car on the road for the price! It will beat most cars that cost twice as much. Hi level of comfort combined with true track performance. A blast to drive.
Stunning car to own, but bring cash!
I owned a Silver 92TT for about a year and overall I was very happy with the car, but I spent quite a bit of money on maintenance and upkeep. I replaced the hoses due to a vacuum leak and ended up rebuilding the engine due to connecting rod failure, and replaced the injectors but It was one of the only cars I've owned that I turned around and looked at as I was walking away from it. Beautiful exterior design, and the interior is just as beautiful. The problematic Bose stereo was replaced with an aftermarket system along the way, so no issues there. The car handled great in dry weather, but was a bit scary in the rain. I'd buy another one, but I'd be sure to get one with the kinks worked out.
Still Fun to drive
After 64,000 miles my twin turbo still turns heads! It is a blast to drive and all original features work with the exception of the radio and CD player which I replaced with contemporary equipment including Ipod compatible tuner. I have replaced batteries and a couple of fuel injectors but otherwise it has been maintenance free. In 1997 I added Antera custom rims with 1" wider tires - makes for a more aggressive look. Not worth much on trade or retail but it is not for sale!
They don't make them like this anymore!!
I had to have this car. I have enjoyed owning "her" for some time now. It feels like sitting in an airplane cockpit.
Nothing like my 92' ZX
I've owned many cars but this one I've kept forever because of it's reliability and performance for all these years. Even with the 350Z out there, I love the TTops on mine and the way it handles.....
Cool
Great Car! Fun to Drive!
120 K Miles and Running strong
I purchased one in the spring of '04 so I havn't had the car for an long time but I can tell you a few thing that may help you make a decision on buying one. The car handles like a dream, on dry, solid pavement. Like all rear wheel sports cars, it will have its problems in the rain or if you hit a patch of sand on a corner. The car looks absolutely beautiful and for the most part it is very reliable. The only problems I've had are as follows. DO NOT launch the car through shifts on the stock clutch, it was not desinged to handle it as i found out. And constant agressive cornering will cause power steering fluid leaks.
Style that Never Ages
The style is ageless. The performance and the engineering in this car is still very impressive.
I love my z
My 1992 model is my second Nissan 300ZX (the first being a 1990) and they are wonderful cars. I'd recommend them to anyone. Their gas mileage is never great, but is never horrible either, especially for the car you are getting. My car is around 12 years old and still looks better than most newer cars.
Great car to drive
This car is an amazing car to own and drive. It's fast and alot of class. Leather and suede interior, t-tops, projection headlights, hicas 4 wheel steering. Then its runs like a champ.
Another Happy "Z" driver
From the beginning I have had very few problems. Maintenance is the key.
