1993 Infiniti J30 t review from North America
"The J30t is a demanding drivers car; luxury, handling, performance and style"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Bose stereo system has a solder problem. Apparently in cold temperatures the solder will pull apart, and the stereo operate intermittently and not at all in winter conditions. I have had the system in the shop 3 separate occasions. The first occasion was at 100,000 km.
The transmission shifts roughly from first to second, it has been this way from 95,000 km on. On occasion, the transmission will allow the engine to over rev between shifts under rapid acceleration.
General comments?
The J30t has serious acceleration.
The car has outstanding body style.
The car is nimble. The 4 wheel steering, the rack & pinion steering and tires combine to give the driver unparalleled control on a slalom style course. When driving on the highway at high speed, the driver will only have to think about changing lanes and the car responds. There is very limited body roll even when the car if forced into rally type cornering.
The interior is very well appointed; the seats are firm and comfortable and fit the driver like a glove to hold the driver in place when driving a tight corner road course. The instrument panel is easily viewed and the center council offers convenient control.
The paintwork and clear coat is out standing. The car is 10 years old and the paintwork still looks factory fresh.
