1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo Targa Top review from UK and Ireland
"A super car for boring Ford money..."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major in over 3 years. I was told before I bought the car that it would be expensive to repair. I haven't had chance to find out as it hasn't gone wrong!
General comments?
Without doubt the 300ZX is the best of the 1990's Japanese super cars.
10 years old and it still turns heads. The sheer power, acceleration and grip in the dry just cannot be beaten. Take care in the wet though...
Automatic is best as it allows the turbos to keep spinning flat out through the gear changes. Manual chews gear boxes in about 60,000 miles if driven hard.
Japanese imports to the UK all seem to be lasting better than UK originals due to the lack of salt on Japanese roads.
Check for uneven tire wear before purchase.
