1987 Nissan 300ZX GS 2+2 review from North America
"Highly recommend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Shocks were bad, replaced.
Oil needed changed, Oil filter is located right above starter and starter wire. After oil changed at local shop, car wouldn't start, no turnover at all. Turns out wire was loose and soaked with oil, female plug tightened and spade cleaned. Works great.
Ongoing Problem. Car will not shift into OD until warmed up. There is a technical service bulletin on this, but I plan on swapping in a manual this summer.
Power antenna is broke, I don't like them anyways and plan on swapping a shorty rubber antenna.
Digital air needs tinkering and I have the standard dash speedo, thankfully I have seen many posting about the digital dash going out.
General comments?
I purchased this garage kept car from a gentleman who had too many cars for $600.00. The car came with tinted windows, adjustable whale tail spoiler, almost new 225/50/16 tires on Nissan premium turbine Z rims.
This car is the 2+2 model, but the backseat was trashed for a previous subwoofer installment. I didn't need that so on Ebay, OEMsurplus had the original seats still new from the factory sell off from Nissan. I got the 3 pieces for 75.00 plus 35.00 shipping. All in all, this car kicks ass and takes names. Any questions?
