1993 Nissan 300ZX Z32 2+2 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Wanted one for ten years!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first bought the car it had a few problems that were later rectified by the dealer.
Knock sensors were faulty causing the engine to have a rough idle and lack of power at low revs. ($AUS1,200)
Unbalanced tail shaft, cause vibration through drivetrain. ($AUS800)
Replaced shockers and about to have new brake pads put on.
General comments?
I had never driven a sports car before and only owned older cars before, so I was surprised how bumpy the ride was and how noisy the car is inside especially when its wet. I actually look out for and avoid driving over manholes covers and bumps in the road now.
Wish I had a auto! You can't relax behind the wheel with a manual
Apart from those few initial problems my car is in terrific shape, thanks to the original owner. I love driving the ZX and find it a very exciting car.
