1984 Nissan 300ZX review from North America
"Asian Muscle car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I have had it, I have replaced the alternator, brakes, tires. mostly routine maintenance stuff. it has had and new clutch cause it was stolen, and got blown. some minor thing I believe. currently there are some thing that are wrong. ac does not work, there is no sound system, the weather striping is going bad and some seals are leaking. The headliner is sagging and interior me restoration and it worth the time to restore this car.
General comments?
My Z needs some TLC. but it is great running car, low miles and performance is great. the turbo kicks in at 3000rpms and you will know it. I live on a hill it, climbs it like a flat road. If you are a driver that enjoys driving, this is a good car. Fast and handles well. I love rear drive, and when you throw the shifter around you know there is some power back there. this is a Asian muscle car. you hit the gas and the hood lifts up, even on the highway. I am 6 foot and about 275 pound and this the most comfortable car I have driven. if you are looking for a fast and fun car to drive, or race the have heard of the engine puting out over 500 hp, at the rear wheel and it looks good.
