1990 Nissan 300ZX Coupe review from North America
"A very expensive car to maintain, but when it's on the road, drivers beware!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump went around $73000.
Also a few gaskets had to be replaced.
I had some electrical problems which was very costly. Other than that, just wear and tear, the belts, a few hoses etc.
General comments?
I love this car, it's so quick and fast.
Always turning heads where ever I go, wondering what kind of car that is that with its Ferrari like shape, it shines.
I'm 6'2' and this car has enough leg room for much more.
There are also many ways to make this a faster car with minor modifications.
You can only do so much to the non turbo models and still they are very fast but when you grow out of a non turbo, the sky's the limit for a Twin Turbo model.
Also getting stopped can be very expensive and I say spend the money for a really good radar detector. It's a must if you plan on driving this car.
Don't mistake this for an everyday driving car, cause it's not. It wasn't designed to be an all around everyday work car.
It's a Sunday driving, summer time car and nothing more. If you plan on buying one just be prepared to spend some money, just buying one is hardly the first step. It's the upkeep and attention for this car that many don't think about before purchasing one.
Chicks dig the car
