I'm thinking of buying a 300zx, should I?

[freakonaleash1187]

I'm am going to probably buy a 300zx next spring. i jus want opinions from other people about the 300zx.

Great car. Any other questions?

Great car.Have had no problems since I bought mine.

[rizzspeed]

I unfortunately have had some repairs to do. The major repair was the cylinder head gaskets. While that was being done, I had the timing belt changed, an injector replaced, ignition coil replaced, new spark plugs, and an oil change. I've also changed out the alternator which nearly everyone that owns a Z has or will do eventually. At least it's not difficult or expensive to replace.
Used cars, expect some maintainence. I still love my Z though.

I Wouldn't Even Think Twice About It, It's A "z"! Buy It....enough Said!

[rizzspeed]

Since you weren't really specific on which Z, let me say get the Z32. 90-96 years, they're available in a Twin Turbo coupe, Naturally aspirated coupe, slicktop, and 2+2 versions. The TT is only available in a T-top coupe and that's the one to get if you can afford it. Hell if you can find one that ppl don't want an arm and a leg and a left eye and maybe some of your firstborn! LOL
Seriously though, the Z is the reason the term 'Japanese supercar' was invented.

TT ZX's do come in a slick top, I have one sitting in my garage.

Considering they came out in 90, they were way ahead of there time. I want a TT, but need to take more than 1 person. It would probably cost a crap load to throw the TT into a 2+2, right, if possible??

Ok let me rephrase. TT's didn't come from the factroy as slicktops in the U.Sl If someone did a conversion that's obviously different.

As for the cost factor on a engine swap, it all depends. How much you pay for the 2+2 and tt engine and parts will determine the range of dollars you'll be spending. Also on who will be doing the installation will be a big factor of cost. If you do it yourself, of course, you'll save alot of labor cost. Ultimately doing a swap should cost approx. the same as spending a good amount on a nice condition TT.

[neogenesis]

what is a slicktop? is it a top without the T-top?

[drifter17]

is it difficult to but a n/a z and swap in a tt motor?

[ferrari_adidas5]

I think the 300zx would be great to have and would let you do a lot to it. though if you have the money i think you should get a TT.

[zya]

NA TO TT is costly and difficult.
here is a few minor list you will need.
injectors,exhuast manifold, inetercoolers, computer up grade,piping and not to mention the turbos.
Is it worth it. It all depends on to you.

[ferrari_adidas5]

zya, sorry but your a dumbass, you cant put turbos on a n/a 300zx, it has to be tt to begin with or you have to do a total engine swap

Hey i really want a 300zx, its my dream car, but my dad who's buying it for me isn't sure if its a good enuff engine for me to commute with. Would the engine last me?
