What owners say
"Overall, owners love the 1987 Nissan 300ZX for its sporty design and impressive performance. Many enjoy the fun driving experience and the unique retro styling. However, some drivers have concerns about maintenance issues, including rust, aging components, and the need for modifications. While they relish its speed and handling, a few mention that it can be costly to maintain and has some quirks that come with an older vehicle."
I picked this one up in a friend of a friend type purchase. For the price I am quite content with the condition and performance of the Z. She is a 87 turbo GLL model with 209k miles on her, but after checkin her over I believe she still has allot more left in her. The turbo spools fast and strong, currently pushing about 8lbs of boost. Sadly however the clutch is starting to feel the 200+ thousand miles and is starting to slip in the upper RPMs. But after 22 years and 209k miles i really can't complain. The car is still suitable for daily driving and so is my primary mode of transportation. A few things were in need of attention when I first purchased her, but nothing catastrophic. Minor things such as power window switches that worked, but took some fenagleing to get them to work from time to time. The power window on the drivers side was also hand assisted, 22 year old stock head unit had a few bugs in it, and a shock mount needed to be replaced. The body is completely straight asside from two small rust spots on the corners of each tail light. The paint is of course faded from the years and the interior is in need of a shampooing, but the overall ergonomics are perfect for me. All in all given the age and mileage of the car I am extremely impressed, thus the reason I buy these cars time and time again. It is a inexpensive sports/touring car that is a blast to drive. Esspecially in the summer time with the T-tops off.
April 5, 2009Great fun car that is super cheap to buy/own. Only problems are rust, mediocre acceleration and weight. Other than that it is an amazing car to use as a daily driver and is super fun to get sideways. For a car over 22 years old, it has very few problems and has great styling.
March 29, 2009I'm in the middle of trying to get it back on the road. I need to have some under body work done to make it safer. It's turbo so it's fast as hell for stock. With four lbs boost it's still a 15s car. I haven't done anything to it in the year that I've had it except drive it around after having to do head gaskets. Didn't want to blow it up last season, and haven't gotten it out there yet this season. Man I love that car though :)

January 30, 2008Good value for such a low miles car. Represented correctly
May 7, 2020The features are great, has the old school look yet very sporty. It suits the purpose for which I bought it for a project car.
January 8, 2021Awesome Car. Wasn't the greatest in the snow but other then that it was a great way to get around. Easily modified to be a street racer but I kept mine stock and loved to just cruise around in it.
March 1, 2010This car was my first Nissan Sports car back in 1987 bought it off the dealer cash 0 miles. I have loved driving this ever since. It has amazing looks even now. It always ran smoothed and I love the feel of the clutch and how well it grips and engages through the gears. Many fond memories are in this car, many, Many good times as I drove it around Miami, from one adventure to another.
April 23, 2013Did a N/A to Turbo conversion, has black leather racing seats, Stage III clutch, boost controller, boost gauge, and soon will have Mercedes 475cc fuel injectors.
