1995 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo review from North America

The rear wheel steering actuation motor burned out after 3 years and 90,000km. Repair was covered by warranty.

The car went through a new set of front brake pads every 20-25,000km roughly.

Starter motor died during the 6th year (around 170,000km) and cost me about US $750 to replace (including labor).

Mufflers (2 of them) had to be replaced twice, at 70,000km and at 160,000km.

AC compressor died at 140,000 and cost US $1,400 to replace.

All 4 wheel bearings were replaced at 160,000km costing a total of US $1,100 including labor.

ABS controller died at 155,000km. It cost US $980 to replace (including labor)

In addition to the above, the interior lamp/horn fuse used to blow chronically every time I touched the horn. That was address by replacing the horn switch contacts in the steering wheel (covered under warranty)

This was one great car to own and drive, especially when taking it's performance into consideration. Hardly any cars could keep up with it in terms of power, handling, reliability and style.

However it was costly to own. Insurance was expensive, it burned premium unleaded as if I owned an oil field, and parts were relatively expensive.

Overall I would say it was a very rewarding car to own. I could hardly fault it for anything.
