Its flashy but not too flash, girls would be delighted, yet intimated.

It's also not a performance freak, those seats...like a couch.

Cool.

Can't to help to think it's cool because it's a pornstar's car.

[FnFast]

Not a fan. Boring to look at and why would you drive that instead of a Supra?

Cool. The TT version is uncommon, makes good power for such an old car, looks cool, has an optional T-top for cruising on sunny days, and handles pretty well. Not sub-zero because cars like the NSX, GT-R, and RX-7 were around at the same time.

Essentially this, it was a good car.... But was simply overshadowed by the big 3 that dominated at that time, thus it never really shinned

You could even argue the Supra TT is cooler due to the modern-day tuning community it still enjoys, but to me it's still more of a GT car compared to those 3, which knocks a few cool-points off for me.

Loved both my Zs with a passion. Would i get one again? No. The car is so old, they need a ton of work. My buddy still has his Z from back in the day and when we fix one thing, another problem pops up.

Loved the power...i made 362hp and 401tq to the wheels with full exhaust, intake and a boost controller. Although that might not sound like a lot of power for the weight of that pig, the car put down the power extremely well.

Supra's are cool but they still cost about 3x if not more than a Z32. If my Zs weren't such a headache to work on and more reliable i would probably still have my Z.

Here is my last Z...first one was taken out by some stupid hooker in an SUV that thought she could make a 90° turn at 45mph; added the result of that below the black Z.





And first Z after she was taken out by a lady that really shouldnt have been driving let alone driving an SUV/killing machine. (don't know if the image posted...it's blocked here at work)

Had a mint 91 twin turbo. Great car, extremely well built. I miss it sometimes as it was a wonderful freeway cruiser.

[Fluxx]

A buddy had a 91TT and it was a blast to drive. It made the 95 Trans Am I had at the time feel like a Flintstone car. I voted cool, couldn't in good conscience say it was Sub Zero.

Would this car have any dry components due to so few miles?



From the article:
1991 Nissan 300ZX Turbo with only 2K miles, these cars where on top of the technology chain back in 1990 and chances are very low to find another car like this with so few miles.

Awesome. I love finds like this, but yeah, I'd probably change plenty of the rubber stuff out right off the bat. I hope the first thing they did was an oil change.

There is a ton of rubber vacuum hoses in these cars.

Always loved these cars. Can recall when these came out in 1989 and amazed watching one whoosh past. At that time being a runt could probably fit in the back of the 2+2 after spending a few dollars playing Outrun Turbo.


Barely able to pay the rent years and years ago, if anything breaks, looking at a hoist and few hours added by your local Nissan mechanic.
