1986 Nissan 300ZX 300 ZX 2+2 review from North America

"Great Car, Love the style, handling and VERY QUICK!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Heater Core needed to be replaced ($900.00).

Stock Stereo and tape deck were really awful (so we had a new stereo put in and its AWESOME with the stock speakers). (New Stereo 150.00 installed.)

Chatter noise/grinding noise coming off the rear brakes; the car has been inspected and we had the shocks replaced ($300.00) in the back, but the noise continues. Rear brake pads look to be in good condition, nothing seems to be loose. Only when you apply the brakes does the noise stop. It will go away for quite awhile and then it comes back!

I don't mind the noise, the car handles like a dream and I absolutely love driving it!

BUT if anyone can give any advice on what this may be, please, reply! Could this be rotors?

This noise is intermittent; happens whenever driven, but comes and goes while driving. Once brake is applied, the noise goes away. And, once in reverse, the noise isn't there. WEIRD!

General comments?

I LOVE this car!!! I take the t-tops off and blast 80's music!!

This car handles VERY well on curves and I love blowing past other sports cars... their drivers looking at my car with this look of.."What the heck was that?!!?"

I love racing with other cars, just to show them that THIS car is nothing to laugh at just because the age!

I love that it is low to the ground and grips the road like velcro. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car!!

I would totally buy another one!
