1991 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance offroader, as it spends more time off-road in garages!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where to start, the car has never idled smoothly, it's an auto so when selecting gear when hot the revs drop and the car stalls.
Heater matrix went dumping coolant inside both footwells which is not good as the ECU is under a piece of wood in the passenger footwell.
Smoke belches out from underneath the car at random intervals. Smoke has been known to fill the cabin on occasion, from where?
Car feels unstable even though it has Super HICAS and 4WS, I now know this to be caused by the rear shocks.
Vibration between about 40 and 60 mph first thing in the morning, believe this is drive shaft. Oh yeah, engine is knackered at 73,000 miles... burnt valves on 3 out of six cylinders as well as worn piston linings and piston slap.
Headlights are pathetic as standard, might as well not bother switching them on. Headlamp washers have never worked.
General comments?
Apart from that... cracking motor!
