300zx's are known for their reliability issues, especially the turbo ones, and especially the jap imports. That one is rare tho, if it is a manual, it will be the rarest of its kind.

I was gonna buy one, i absolutely love the looks and the roof and the sound of the engine. After talking to workshops, importers etc, i changed my mind. Still a nice car if u have the $$ to maintain it.

Its an extremely bad idea to buy a cheap example, u get what u pay for, and millions of things can go wrong. Check out 300zx forums...cant remember the address.

Electrics, and MANY other problems that come from too much heat. Also workshops do not enjoy working on them too much as they have a packed engine bay, takes ages to get to anything, and therefore costs you more too. Their gearboxes(although similar to a skyline gearbox) seem to have serious issues. Instrument clusters have been known to warp/crack. Heater core has been known to leak(releasing coolant into the cabin)

List goes on. As i said, look for 300zx forums.

I ended up getting a skyline because it seems like the next best thing, and better in many important ways. Easy to maintain...cheapER parts...etc...

how can you say that a skyline is the next best thing behind a 300zx? are you sure you want to publicly announce this?

oh, and a little birdy told me that the engine bay is soooo cramped that you have to take the whole engine out just to get to the turbos. now that would serious suck a big hairy testicle

Sorry, i though the skyline was the next best thing at the time. I now believe the skyline is a better thing :D

The engine bay is cramped but as far as i remember, its not THAT bad...

Ill take a look next time in in my friends Z...

The looks are the thing that attracted me in the first place. I think they are the nicest shapes ever. Plus the engine sounds like nothing else...(skyline engines also have a very distinctive note of course :) )

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
