1991 Nissan 300ZX Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I liked the power and the overall handling is great. The car doesn't sway, dip or anything strange in the corners. I had the suspsension replaced wehn I bought it, the car drives like new. The interior is immaculate, and I replaced the rear wing because it was falling apart. This is pretty common with these vehicles. The car has not been in an accident or had any body work other than stuff I replaced to bring it back to show room condition.Feb 23, 2013

Mine was a bit used, defiantly needed some work. However had a few things done to it already in a area where I wanted it done. It had a performance tune and a few or minor stuff bringing the stock horsepower from 300 to about 450. The car was a blast, gas mileage, well it had 450hp. So not that great. Especially since I couldn't stay off it. Power is a drug. Jun 05, 2012

the Fairlady Z is a great car especially if you want a fast, quick, and turbocharged car for a reasonable price. the main thing i like about this car is how its made for the driver. just from the dash and gauge cluster alone nothing in this car is made to make the passengers ride better, the only thing the passenger can access is the radio. another great thing is this car can slice through corners like a hot knife through butter. i can garuntee many people look over this car because of the skylines and supras, but they problem with that is people try to sell supras for waaayy to much and skylines are illegal according to the DOT. Another car people will go to before the Z is the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 all because its AWD, AWS, and V6TT but im hear to tellyou its a fat cow and the performance and power is terrible and not worth it. Now the Z you get a TT V6 positioned to give it a FR MR feel as Nissan puts it, plus with how low and wide the stance of the car is it makes it perfect for those curvy back road cruises. plus the Targa Tops are great for nice sunny days. ill end finally on Maintance, for how many miles on this cars body (205,000 to be exact) i've had to do very little such as just replace the brake pads. the engine compartment though is a different story it is very very tight in there which makes working on it a bit of a pain in the ass, but if you dont do anything stupid you will rarely have to visit under the hood. plus modifications are very simple for this car, even an engine swap for example, i plan on doing a RB26DETT swap (when i procure a beater during the project, and 15 grand or close), now this project is actually relatively easy because the engine bolts right up to the tranny and you have to do few things to the engine compartment to make the engine fit in nice and smoothly. Therefor if you want a fast car, for a reasonable price, i would definetly gor for the 300ZX Twin Turbo model.Apr 11, 2010

Sweet car from the exterior to the interior. The interior puts almost all of the car's controls at the driver's fingertips- Air conditioning and heat, wipers, hazards, almost everything, but it doesn't seem cluttered. They're a lot more rare than your average mustang, so there's a lot more respect and pride that goes along with it. I love the response that everything has. Push the gas, instant-response. The brake, immediate response. Amazing. You won't ever fall out of love for this car.Sep 21, 2009

the twin turbo set up with the ball bearing garretts was excellent for low and top and power....i upgraded to 550 cc injectors with a 255 lph walboro fuel pump and new relay. Nismo high flow fuel pressure regulator and nismo fuel rail. Other bolt ons include a injen cold air twin filter intake, nismo x-pipe and dual exhaust and jim wolf headers. I was going to swap in specialty-z sport 500's turbos and twin air to air front mount intercoolers.Jun 10, 2009

I had this car for about a year back when i was a senior in high school. i bought it with the intention of modifying it. I had no idea it would lead to a RB25 (single turbo skyline motor) swap. I put everything I had into this car and it was amazing. unfortunately after the swap it was not a daily driver and i didnt have enough for a second car. overall I would strongly recommend this car to anyone, especially when its powered by a RB motor ;)Apr 09, 2009

The powerplant of the Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo is the VG30DETT. It is a dual overhead cam, electronic injection, Twin Turbo Engine. Power is 300 bhp. Build Quality is great. My car is a 91, and interior looks GREAT. The suspension of my car is crappy. It rattle quite bad in the rear, but that is not Nissan's fault but whosever aftermarket suspension. This is one of the best looking cars of the 90's. Top 5 at least, and number one that I can think of at the moment. Cost of Ownership: A LOT. Not known as the most reliable car ever, and basically anything you want to do requires you to pull the engine. Fuel Economy is decent. I average 15 mpg city (running rich) and it is spirited driving. Very Fun car to drive. Sporty, handles well, smooth power delivery. Torquey (TorK-E) This car is great for many drivers, can be fun and can bite you in the butt if you push it too hard.Mar 13, 2009

Good Acceleration. Excellent Appearance. Rarity. No major squeaks/rattles. Solidly built car. Def. a car that I'd buy again someday. It does require more maintenace than something like a Honda S2000 or Toyota MR2 (non-turbo) but it can be just as much fun as either. The car looks great with very modest customization. I suggest pearl white with T-Tops and leather interior.Nov 17, 2008

Oh man this car is amazing. I bought this after i totaled my VR-4 and couldnt be more happy i did. It has great take off but once its on the move it has amazing acceleration. It has about 89k miles so its always got something going on under the hood but its worth every penny. Car looks amazing specially with the stillen body kit it has. I get so many people who want to race from 16 year olds in civics to 60 year olds in mercedes. You should be putting 93 octane in it so its sorta pricy for gas. It is a blast to take this car for the spin specially on nice days when you can take the tops off. The car sounds amazing!Aug 11, 2008

My first car. I found this in search of a manual, rear-wheel drive V-6 beauty. Quick for what it was, with acceleration at a mild 6.5 seconds for 0-60mph. Motor screams all the way to 7000rpms, along with the passengers. Not awe inspiring in performance, leaving a lot to be desired compared to the Twin Turbo variant, yet it is definitely comparable to other performance cars. Leather interior and power everything (except seats) makes it a very luxurious car as well. Same timeless design that made it to the top of both the top 100 coolest cars, and the top 25 most beautiful car. Jun 24, 2008

A fun car to drive on a daily basis. The engine is built solid and you will get about 250k miles without a rebuild being required. It handles very well in corners and with the quick ratio gearing is great for auto-cross racing. The car is built as a luxury performance car so its weight is a little high. This tends to degrade its straight line acceleration but it remains fairly quick. The N/A model is the best model for daily driving.May 03, 2008

I know I wanted this car when it was unveiled in 1990. This was the sharpest looking car I've ever seen, besides the Corvette. Acceleration was not very strong from its 3 liter DOHC V6, but the steering and brakes are way better than the Mustang. The "Tee-Top" option was very cool in summer and fall seasons. This car SUCKS in the snow, I got stuck in only 1" of snow on flat surface!Jan 01, 2008
