1992 Nissan 300ZX Fairlady review from UK and Ireland

Interior clock stopped working.

Horn stopped working.

Drivers side seat starting to wear.

Ignition module died after about 4 months ownership.

Odd sounds from engine lead to a completely new gearbox rebuild.

Although a few things have gone wrong with the car, the gearbox being the most painful to put right, I have had nothing, but sheer joy driving this beauty.

For a car this age I expected things to go wrong at some stage and knew parts would be costly. But I didn't care. I wanted a serious performance car and that is what I got.

As far as performance goes hardly anything can touch it. Acceleration is blistering and seems to keep giving more and more. I recommend not driving at top speed with targa roofs off if you are a tall person and love your hair. Wind buffeting your forehead at high speed is just not pleasant.

The only thing I would say to anyone thinking of buying a car like this is to have a garage to put it in first. This car will turn heads and parking this car outside your house on an estate. It attracts too much attention. It is a true babe magnet!

My car is an import and was fitted with two dump valves and a turbo timer before I bought it. The turbo timer helps to extend the longevity of the turbos. The dump valves are always great fun!

Warning: this car is not wet-road- friendly!!
