I'm in the process of rebuilding the original Diesel Kiki Zexel AC compressor, and the transmission is sticking so I need to rebuild it and replace the synchronizers. As much as I love it, I'm getting tired of fixing it and OEM parts are getting extremely difficult to find. Only has 130,000 original miles on it, as I barely drive it, but it's a pain!

Word of warning for the 300zx tt. They have to be maintained and the engine has zero room to do work in it. We have one and it's nice but a head ache when we have to do engine work. Timing belts are the worst. Ours has bigger stillen turbos and intercoolers and a bunch of other mods. Goes through tires pretty fast with 600hp in it. Not so bad with lower boost though. Going to be selling it soon.

Back in 93 I was looking for a good used sports car and almost pulled the trigger on one of these, except that the particular car I was looking at, a N/A version, had very high mileage. I wound up getting a used 944S Porsche for less money and was very happy with it, although I did lust for one of these twin-turbo Zs. One of the school administrators at the college where I taught had one of these and parked it near where I parked my Porsche, and so I liked getting to see it everyday when I came to work.

@steelhealer1 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Scotty. Great clip. New to your posts. I owned/leased a '93 Cherry Red Pearl Nissan 300Z twin-turbo. So sorry that I didn't buy and keep the car. They were tough to get in '93 and my buddy who was a Nissan dealer back then had a tough time getting hold of one for me. They had a "HICAS" steering system that really hugged the road. You didn't sit in the car, you put it on. It wrapped around you. That car gripped and hugged the road and wouldn't skid an inch making a fast turn. The ride WAS hard, especially in the sport mode. I guess some loved to feel every bump. The T's were beautiful when off but taking them off was a PITA. Each T was stored in an individual leather bag. They had to be stacked in the rear and strapped down to keep them from sliding around (they were heavy). Forget it if it started to rain. The other problem was, back then, the torque was great enough that the tires would wear down to the bare tread quickly. In '93 times, both my rear tires cost $500 to be replaced. I also heard that after a period of time, although the car was built really well, the turbo chargers would break causing engine damage. Overall, it was well built, heavy, solid, excellent trim, amazing car and blazingly fast for the time. The main competitors those days, besides the Corvette, were the Mitsubishi VR4 and Dodge Stealth, both of which were really cool but you don't hear or see anything about them anymore. Keep up the great reports. You have a new subscriber.

This car is the encapsulation of "I like my cars how I like my women, 29 years old and extremely fun but filled with issues. Don't be fooled. These Z's at this age are not reliable or easy to work on compared to other cars especially under the hood. The engine compartment is tight and you have to take apart other parts of the engine to get to other parts you easily could in other cars. I had one for 5 years back in the late 90's into the early 2000's and don't get me wrong this car was fun and it feels different and faster because you are lower to the ground but they can have some problems.
