[Will 300zx]

read the other thread about them

but yes there are many things that go wrong with them, mainly i would say due to age, and also heat in the engine bay (not so much an issue since u are buying an N/A)

they are high maintenance and i would not consider one unless you do the work on it yourself, otherwise you will be paying big $$ to take car of it, with no promise of good quality work.

although they may be cheap to buy, thats not the case with the maintenance so be aware of that.

overheating is a HPI magazine myth.

repairs car get expensive if you don't go to the right place as people will try to rip you off. Unique Autosport in castle hill is a highly recommended place to get things done, as John is a 300zx specialist.

Age is a bit of an issue, but if you are getting an N/A, try to get your hands on an Aus-spec one as these tend to have a decent service history and have usually been well looked after.

Major things to look for are timing belt replacement, rust, and to check targa top seals. Also look for chassis damage.

oh yeah..... and put some spare cash away to pay for speeding fines......
