    Yes I know this car had probably been sliced and diced a million times in a million forums, currently I am getting serious with the idea of buying one and just wanted input from y'all. What should I watch out for? Any bad stuff? I am thinking a '93. Are they hard to find parts for? what breaks alot? Sheen any input from you?
    Thanks!

    I really like these too, but one look in the engine bay reminds me why I don't own one.

    We had a customer from SD come get tuned and he made well over 400rwhp on a stock motor/turbos, 740cc, e85, on Nistune. I think that's pretty impressive for a car that was designed 20 years ago!

    I had a mint one a few years back, did true dual turbo back exhaust and a few small things, the front is so fricken heavy you will crash it, I could make mine go sideways going 45, even 60 when WOT on the freeway with even light rain, I wrecked mine around a pole 3 months after owning it, wasn't a experienced driver back then like I am now. Super super fun but very unsafe.

    Oh and btw, my 1990 twin turbo zx didn't have a driver side air bag in that head on collision with a pole, not a pretty scene, lol

    My roommate has a black 300zx that he will be selling this summer some time. Car is a little rough but will make a good project starter car (runs, but exterior could use a little help, mainly scratches and small rock chips, and the interior has seen better days.)

    Never owned one, but one of my all time favorite looking sports cars. Just a very clean design to me. The Z32 revision came out when I was in high school and I remember loving it from the day I first saw one. Congrats.
