1985 Nissan 300ZX GLL review from North America
"Nissan could have made this car so much better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
High beam switch failed twice.
Had to replace rack n pinion.
Window seals have become unglued.
T-tops leak.
Exhaust system rusted out.
Mass air flow sensor went out at 60k.
General comments?
I've owned several 300ZX's. They all have a lot of common problems, but the engines are bulletproof. I've never had a major problem with the engine on any of them. If you take care of them they'll always bring you home. Great for performance, however, pricey on maintenance. Good base car with lots of potential and a lot of power if tuned correctly.
