1985 Nissan 300ZX ZX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Generally a good car that has caused little problems and is fun and comfortable to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Left Rear Axle CV Joints Replaced. Tail shaft center bearing replaced as were a little worn when I purchased the car. Shockers and front struts replaced (originals were still in car).
General comments?
Car handles extremely well. Diff ratio should be lowered as it is far too tall (in overdrive at 100kms under 3000rpm) A little thirsty on fuel unless driven carefully.
