1985 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 review from North America
"Great car if taken care of!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Recently, we had a problem with the parking lights coming on while it was sitting. The power would be drained out of the battery, and it'd have to be charged to be driven anywhere. We had to replace the signal switch in order to fix this problem. The battery also had to be replaced because it had been totally used up.
The pulley for the air conditioning unit (I believe that's where it belongs) is also making a high pitched squealing noise every once in awhile, and is about to have to be replaced also.
Before we bought it, the water hoses busted and ruined the wires to the radio, so we had to replace it. That was quite a bear considering you have to take the passenger side seat out and part of the dash in order to put a new stereo in.
General comments?
This car gets great gas mileage (about 27 mpg) and performs very well when driven. Steering is absolutely wonderful, stays tight as long as it is aligned correctly. Power driver seat and power windows are a couple of other great features of this classic car.
