Hey Ryan, I would only recommend buying that '86 turbo if it has been rebuilt recently. Otherwise you're looking at a rebuild you must do very SOON. The car is easy to maintain but the lack of space to work around the engine isn't so good. It's about average on gas.

my 86 300zx turbo is running 250 hp @ 5400. and i run 14 flat in the 1/4. not too many mods, just the fipk kit (good for 30 h/p) 240sx intake, 3 in. exhaust, and a msd ignition.
