1990 Nissan 300ZX ZX review from North America
"For the money, nothing else comes close to the Z."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump went out about two and a half years ago.
My alternator failed about two years ago.
The Bose system stinks, I replaced it long time ago.
My electric antenna mast broke. It cost $45 from the dealer.
General comments?
The repairs have been minor for a 13 year old car. This car is pleasure to drive. It corners, and handles like a dream. I love the T-Tops, the sleek lines on the car flow. It's beautiful from every angle.
I would love to have the 300 horsepower found in the Twin Turbo, but trust me, you can get in enough trouble without the turbo...
The car has been incredibly dependable, solid, and just a pleasure to drive.
I feel the engine on the car is bulletproof. It runs, and runs, smooth as ever. My Z turns heads every time I pull it out of the garage. It's gold in color, but I felt something was missing when I purchased it. The rear spoiler from the 1996 Turbo model was it. I ordered the spoiler and had it installed. I also had the 4 exhaust tips re-chromed. Problem solved!
I have three buyers in line. But, they will be waiting a while.
I simply love this car.
