1990 Nissan 300 ZX Turbo - Episode 12: Project Recap

It's been an adventure with this absolutely iconic Japanese sports car. This Z car came into the garage looking pretty beaten down after 200k miles of fun but tough on her. I hope I did the Z car community proud with all the effort I poured into this fine 300ZX Twin Turbo. She's a looker and a performer once again. #300zx #carrepair #carrestoration

Very nice!
A Z32 TT is on my list of cars to own!

[@autoobsessivegarage]

Thank you. Definitely was on my bucket list too…and well worth the effort.

Thank you for recapping your 300ZX project. I watched all the episodes and its uplifting. Hopefully you will use viewers cars in the future to restore on your chanel. I happen to have 95 Stealth RT TT and 96 3000GT VR4 that need restoring. Hopeful thinking....lol

[@autoobsessivegarage]

Thank you for watching. That’s a great idea! I have already restored a very nice Stealth R/T TT…you should check out that series of you haven’t already. It was another awesome car.

@@autoobsessivegarage Hello again, is it possible to contact you via email to ask you for some car advise? Please message me back.

Great work. I may even paint my rear spoiler with new black rattle can instead of paying the big bucks for a body shop / painter to do it. Its already been painted (The stock wing) and isn't perfect.. so I am figuring why not... the OEM replacement stripe is a finicky POS and super expensive... ask me how I know on past z32s. lol.

[@autoobsessivegarage]

Thank you sir. Have no fear…grab a rattle can and knock it out.

just goes to show the cooling system cleaner liquid doesn't really work that well after probably spending $40 on two bottles and it's still caramel thanks for the heads up on that product, good video thou

[@autoobsessivegarage]

Thanks. Cooling sytem cleaners certainly help (check the video regarding coolant flushes). What makes a huge impact is the condition of your cooling system and how long the wrong coolant or tap water was used in there to promote rust.

Beautiful. Great job! What are your plans with this car, to sell it?

[@autoobsessivegarage]

Thank you! It’s hard to say. I may sell to fund the next project…but it drives so well…tough choice.

This was my dream car, and still is. It debuted the summer right before I started high school. Back then, and even now, this car in terms of styling was soooo ahead of its time. It's indescribably beautiful. It's damn near perfect. Sure, a lot of performance cars today could run circles around it in terms of acceleration, handling and braking. But in terms of styling, that's tough.
I own two of these, an NA and TT, both short wheelbase. The NA one I'm going to LS3 swap, and the TT I will restore to factory specs as close as possible, kinda like yours. The NA one, after it's LS swapped, I'm gonna keep "sleeper." No outrageous body kits, flamboyant wheels, none of that tacky "fast & furious" nonsense. The only thing I'll do is add the TT front slitted bumper and an OEM style 90-93 spoiler.
