1989 Nissan 300ZX tt review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I've had this car for 1.5 months now only.

So far I changed:

Steering rack bushings

differential bushings

a/c compressor

a/c condenser

front tension rods

rear steering ball joints.

Still need to change:

Engine rear main seal

rear brake rotors

main coil pack.

General comments?

All things that went wrong with the car are because of the age of the car. i bought it after two previous owners used it for 17 years so I expect some wear and tear.

Car is simply amazing. it is all stock and I want to keep it that way. the only things I will change are cold air intake and exhaust.

Exterior:

one of the best looking cars on the road despite being 17years old.

Wide fenders, low profile, aggressive look was one of the factors to buy 1990 car for 5000$

Interior:

simple dash, not too many gages, perfectly placed shifter, better seats than most new gt cars have.

T-tops makes you feel like it is convertible without sacrificing stiffness of the car.

Pedals are perfectly placed.

Visibility is really bad-blind spot is huge, but I can deal with that :}

bose speakers are not bad, but will replace them with better ones.

Engine:

some real piece of art for 1990.

30 ft. of vacuum system hoses, so it is really easy to get an air leak.

Engine and tranny are known for being bulletproof, but a lot of connectors, sensors, relays can get bad.

Suspension:

real stiff with minimal body roll. hicas rear wheel steering is really helping to keep car stable in turns, but if something goes wrong it is better to instal hicas eliminator and just leave the steering to the front wheels.

It is truly great car and if you take good care of it, it will serve you for a long time.

Performance is the best in its class I believe.

I get exited every time I'm behind the wheel of my z and I'm planning to keep it for long time.

Thanks for your time and sorry for mistakes :}
