The Lure of 300ZX

[StuyMac]

Righty, since the car had its little knock, OK, not very serious, but something about it just doesnt feel the same. So that got me thinking, and my first port of call was a 300zx. I know I love the supra TT, but the 300zx seems to have recently taken the edge for me.

So, what does everyone think of the 300's?? And any Idea of what sort of prince I could get for mine.

PLEASE NOTE, thius is not for deffinate, as the 200 is still very special to me.

Hmmm 300zx, I wouldn't mind one. Cheap to buy, expensive to run and very expensive to fix when they go wrong.

I would love the Japan only 2 seater manual twin turbo model!

I thought u were only 23 the other day, if i remember correctly, how the hell would u be able to afford to run a 300ZX. I can hardly afford my 200 at 20. U must have an ambition to be broke!!

My brother in law had one before he bought a RX7. The RX nearly bankrupted him but was still cheap in comparison to the 300.

However, the 300 was blo*dy brilliant to drive and went like sheet off a shovel even though it was an auto.

When running right, veryyyyy nice cars!
If you work on your own cars, that motor in the z will drive you nuts!!! It's the main reason why I'm getting rid of mine.
Nissan didn't do a good enough job of masking that weight, with the suspension design, and that rear steering stuff is crap.
The looks??? sexyyyyy

My buddy put a twin turbo z motor in his s13.. if nissan did so, godzilla would've been a very small lizard.

I'd like to know the camera type, specs and brand, that photo was taken with.

i don't know where some of you get your info, or take your cars for work, but 300's are no more expensive to run than most other 3 litre cars.

also, parts can be gotten cheaper, and you can find some decent mechanics.

most of the engine things can be done by a competent home mechanic too...

the only expensive part of the job is the turbos. to change them easily requires the engine out, which is the worst job to do on a 300 and takes a while...

oh yeah, and the insurance.. something about group 20 cars... http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif
