loved the vid but I prefer not everyone having them I enjoy cheap pricing and not having to worry every 14yr and their mom wants one. I'm happy that it is a "scary" car to work on. there so many secrets abt this car the normies shouldn't have access to, or how else am I gonna walk supras n lambos ?
This car is now in the classic car category. The prices are going up for the twin turbo model. I've owned mine for 20 plus years. I'm not giving her up. Salute to all my fellow Z car owners!
Where are you watching the prices move? My dad owns one and it’s been part of my entire life. He hasn’t touched it in a long time since melting the inter cooler. Wondering if I could surprise him with some analytics to motivate him to let us work on it and get it on the road again.
I have a 1993 Z. I am the original owner. Got it at the age of 28. Cost $29,000 back then. Pearl Glacier White. I have all original paper work and dealers sale slip. Back then they sold the Nissan Mechanics Repair Manual. Which I still use today. Today I drive this Z once every two weeks or so. I do get thumbs up from people on the highway or at auto repair store. When I go to Nissan to pick up parts. I'll have car sales man and managers looking at the Z. Due to it being well kept and claeness. But also trying to get me to trade it in. I just laugh. I enjoy driving this Z. Enjoy every year of ownership. One of Nissan well design vehicle for back in its days. "ENJOY THE RIDE"
Gonna reveal a pristine, 1000+ rwhp Z32 to the community, very soon. Had to have a few parts custom milled, and there’s a tiny bit of machining, so I got delayed slightly. Hoping to have everything done and tuned by the end of the year. Went all out on this. Top to bottom, front to back.
Great video. The Z32 is truly an icon - pleasant departure from the Z car design history. I actually like the Z32 design better that the 370, and even the new Z (on pictures only). Mine is a BLK 1996, basically daily driver. I have tried to keep it in pretty good shape - regular scheduled maintenance but use Mobil-1 on oil and car is stored in winter. I updated wheels to 18" with wider tires 285 R/255 F, lowered ~1/4 inch and put a cat-back exhaust, otherwise it's all stock. I have had plenty of folks ask and appreciate how good the car looks. Just a couple days ago, I was stopped for doing 67 on 55. The first thing the cop did was compliment the car (forget me!!) and said he was only going to give me a warning - he said there's not that many anymore and most don't look as clean. I got the warning. Love the Z32.
I traded $800+93 sc400 for my 93 TTZ back in 2009. I repaired and modded it over the yrs. Back then these were easy to spot in socal and everywhere else. Nowadays it's almost impossible to see another one . These are going up in value for sure! Hard to work on? Yes, Now I can do 120k job in 4 hrs.
Welp I'm 18. Just got a job at a ITT factory (good pay) and I just sold my 08 Malibu LTZ for $3.5k I'm finally buying my dream car this Friday or Saturday! . Z32 300zx. But n/a. Can't find any cheap. It's $7.5k... but I gotta get one now before they really raise lol. One I'm getting is super super clean. The interior has no flaws, all stock besides cold air intakes, and that red aftermarket hose that connects to the radiator. Low miles. Manual. Definitely the first thing on list. 1. Clean everything including engine bay. 2. Completely flush and refuel all the liquids. 3. 120k service lol. 4. Look into an exhaust.
Car and Driver top 10 every year it was in production. It was better than all the Japanese cars of the period. I had a brand new 300ZX TT in 1991 and I drove it for 12 years. I was stationed in Germany and drove it on the autobahn for two years. My son has a silver 92 300zx TT and he's 18. We bought it as a automatic and swaped it to manual. I'm all the way into it with the 120k service right now. I'm all the way down to the valve seals, valve cover gaskets, timing belt. All OEM parts. I'm doing the cooling system delete and half the PCV system. I'm not going after the EGR because it's to hard to get to; which is saying a lot because almost everything is hard to get to on these cars. These are great cars!
The appreciation curve is already well underway on Z32's in Australia. Between 2019 & 2020 there was a 63% Average sales cost increase based on private and dealership sold data according to unique cars magazine.
I have been wanting to get this car since high school I am planning on trying to get one in the next year or so because you can't beat this car it is so timeless and looks great
I own a 1994 twin turbo manual with 70,000 kms on the clock. Shes a beauty. I live in new Zealand so we get them straight from Japan so they aren't messed up by US import laws.
You touched on something I'd like to highlight, its collectability factor. That is really starting to grow. Collectors are finally starting to realize what an icon the Z32 is. The good part is, this means demand for parts will only increase and therefor supply. Of course the not so good part, if you really want one, is that the prices of good, well maintained ones has bottomed out and will only rise. And that seems to be happening rather rapidly. So, if you really want one you best get off the couch now.
I have a Z32 twin turbo painted 2003 350z chrome silver. Wings west body kit. Greedy sp2 exhaust with Megan racing down and test pipes. Racing Hart M5 with 275/35/18 235/40/18 with S Drive tires from Yokohama. with coils. Sundown Audio 7 speaker concert with no boom thank you. I had the car 23 years and I still get nervous when I drive it. I love this thing.
Acknowledging this is about the Z32, I'm pretty sure the Z35 has been confirmed as a TT V6 - VR30DDTT, or some close variant thereof. Either way, I'm excited to see one in person.
I was a Datsun/Nissan dealer tech when these came out, it was always a dream because it cost so much. As techs we would joke about these cars when doing a T-belt, the NA you can barely get you hand down the side of the engine but the TT you can barely get your finger. Just bought 2 of them, a $200 parts car and a $1000 runner. There's a lot of beaters on Craigslist. Going to build an endurance race car. The only drawback to this car is the cast iron block, makes it nose heavy for racing. Thinking about doing a VQ35 swap. IMHO the best Z ever and the best Nissan equal to the R32 GTR.
I own one in Australia and you don’t find them on the road anymore and yes it’s a timeless classic where no other modern car comes close. Prices are appreciating rapidly in value and as the Diablo lambo took our headlight I decided to make my Z into lambo doors
Fun fact the Diablo has a color matched strip of metal that goes across the top of the headlight because the oem 300zx headlights had the words “Nissan” engraved in the glass and Lamborghini didn’t want their customers knowing they had Nissan parts on their Italian super car.
in denmark they cost 800,000kr to 1,000,000kr danish kr and I here seen two in since I was 13 years old. there is no one for sale in dk right now and if you are hot and find one for sale it costs 200,000kr. that has been my dream car since I was 13 years old.
I see one everyday. Since 2000. It's in my garage since 2000, very clean 91 2-seat, t-top, 5-spd manual, triple black, stage 2+. Not really into it. Wishing the values would be almost as high as MKIV's. But I dont know why it isnt as high as it 'should' be.
Just got one for 4.8 71k original miles. Mint velvet red interior, and it’s stick ! Let me tell you.. this car was everything I thought it would be. Slept onnn major
Jesse I like this video (I'm own a 1991 twin turbo Z), but I must point out to you that Hong Kong is in China, Hong Kong has nothing to do with Nissan.
Please stop talking about these cars. I'm planning on getting one. It's been my dream car since I was 16 when it came out. YOU'RE GOING TO INCREASE THE DEMAND MAKING THEM MORE EXPENSIVE! Thank you. 😁
I live in Italy and I have had a nissan 300zx twin turbo for about 15 years, unfortunately here in Europe there are very few spare parts and aftermarket performance parts, here you don't see any 300zx, I have seen maybe 3 besides mine in the last 15 years
Im in Topeka, KS. For some reason there's roughly 20+ different ones I see year round. population 117k, I see them very often, and they break my neck every time. Clean ones. Hoopies. doesn't matter. See them on craigslist and Fb marketplace all the time. looking to get a rhd beauty early next year.
Ive been eyeing the market for a bit, looking for a good opportunity to trade up my current NA. The market for these cars have gone insane over the last year, even for clean NAs. Especially the last few months. Survivor NAs went from selling around 5-6k to some pushing closer to 15k now. Shits wild man. I grew up around these cars from my dad constantly buying/fixing/selling all sorts of Zs and its honestly mind blowing how sudden prices decided to go exponential. Happy I got to experience hundreds of mint and not so mint 240-300zs but kinda sad that those days are slowly coming to an end with supply and demand so jacked.
I see MAYBE 1 - 2 a year from somewhat randomness. I know one of the owners lives nearby, but It's not many of them! But I also have a TT one in my own garage.
24k for a RX7 the cheapest I’ve ever seen one is 40k oh,I’m in Canada but there is a 1993 300 Z for sale in Canada for $56,000 with 63,000 kms white on red interior better than mint condition TwinTurbo with a manual transmission it says the belt was already done. What do you think of this? I’ve always loved this car this video this put me over the edge. 😂
I have a 1991 300zx TT. I never beat the car but wow you can just touch the gas and it throws you back in the seat. Im thinking about selling it. If anyone interested let me know. Not sure what it goes for
So I've lived in Iowa for my whole 29 years of life and I don't believe I have ever seen one 300ZX on the road or even at a car show and since I discovered them about a year ago I've really liked the look of them. I'd like to drive one before I plan on getting one and I found a nice one in another state and I really like the interior of it but it's almost $40k which for me that's a lot and I sold the BRZ I bought new last year for $31k this year but still owed $29,500 on it and I put what I made from it towards other bills so I'm not sure if I should still go for the one I've found with the only color interior I have ever seen in that car or get a cheaper one without that interior and save $10k or $20k or maybe more but I've never had a Nissan vehicle but I've had some Subarus and Hondas and a friend has said a Nissan would last a lifetime and I believe him when he's said that. I just feel now is the time to get it because they will just get more expensive over time.
Thanks for sharing. Keep looking, I see really nice ones between 10-20k all the time, and project cars for much less. Good luck out there, let me know if you have any questions!!!
Im gonna get a Z31 instead, its gonna be my first car and im gonna daily drive it and it seems more simple to work on than the Z32. (Yeah, i know dailying an 80s sport car is a mistake but im willing to go through this huge learning experience, its gonna be fun. i look forward to when the car breaks down, i want to learn)
300zx all good. I wanted the 2+2 and when out of my way to get one. Some people want a 2+0 but I really like the 2+2. Things that make the 300zx more valuable are the manual transmission and of course those beautiful twin turbos!
Thanks for watching! You can boost anything, but there is definitely some precautions to take when boosting a higher compression engine. Tuning is key. I was more or less referring to just swapping the TT in the car but with the options that the 300zx is the big plus.
Is it a crazy idea to put a turbo’d vw 2.5L 5cylinder into my RHD Z32 , instead of a RB. Since that 5cylinder is based off of the v10 Lamborghini Motor just chopped( not the 2.2L audi 20v from the S1 ) . Making my car a : baby Japanese lambo hybrid?!
Thanks for Watching! For a first Car/Only Car Maybe, Maybe not, This is an Older car and propyl needs maintenance done. If your not worried about needing to perform the maintenance or can comfortable afford to have it done, Yeah get one! If its a second car and you don't relay on it to get to school or work, Yeah pick one up! One down fall with this and ANY 30yr old car is, parts are out of there service life and will fail, witch can create a bad experience for someone that just wants to own the car and drive the car, not having to deal with an aging car. If you want to get one tho, I would suggest low mile and look for something with some service records, Especially Timing Belt that has less than 60k miles on it and preferably less than 6yrs old. Even better if the 120k service has been preformed, Make sure and watch my video about the 120k service and hows it so important for your Z. Pay a little more and get a nice well maintained 300zx, it will save you in the long run. If you want something a little newer and has a timing chain not belt I would suggest a 350z, I have a 350z and I love that car too, so much fun. More Question Just ask!
@@BuildTheoryZ Yeah I came to the conclusion I probably won’t get one because imma need a reliable car and I can’t be worrying on maintenance but I love these cars so much maybe in a couple years I may end up getting one. Thank you for the reply and I enjoy watching these videos even though I don’t got a Z lol.
Agreed. Parts are generally available, but are pricey, and there are a lot of OEM items that are NLA. If Z1, Specialty Z, Concept Z or Bernie doesn't have it, good luck.
Thanks for Watching! Sure may not have the aftermarket choices of something like a 240sx (not all of those chooses are good, lets be honest) but there are plenty of options, much better than most. The Z32's have aftermarket company's that specialize in stocking aftermarket parts for the Z chassis. Maybe Ill do a Video on something like this. Also the 90's Nissan sports cars use a bunch of the same parts (ie. 240sx and Z32 extremely similarly rear suspension set up). Thanks again for watching! Appreciate the support and Comment!
i think you should do a NA to TT conversion, upgrade a few NA parts to TT parts like the flywheel, injectors, spark-plugs, radiator i think theres a couple of other parts youll need. I know i will be doing this too, but i have to do a Auto-Manual conversion first :(
@@aurimasmaldzius5345 I don't remember all the details, but I thought I read that there is a cylinder compression difference between the na and tt motors. Its been a while though. Possibly difference in the cams also. I'll have to try and research it again. Not positive on all that like I said it was years ago that I read it in a Z forum.
@@jasonhereford3884 That is correct, its the main reason im doing it, the same stock PSI will give you around 40% more power gains, and even the rest of the NA components can handle allot more.
I bought my tt for 2,500 original owner 78000 miles all paper work from 1990 Miller nissan he paid 42k for it and yes is the one on my icon picture I love it had it for 10 years if u want to check it out iG stanced_z32
Questions? Drop a Comment, Thanks For Watch!
loved the vid but I prefer not everyone having them I enjoy cheap pricing and not having to worry every 14yr and their mom wants one. I'm happy that it is a "scary" car to work on. there so many secrets abt this car the normies shouldn't have access to, or how else am I gonna walk supras n lambos ?
They came with non digital, standard-knob heat and AC, too.
I have a clean 300zx 60,000kms, make me an offer and buy it for your channel
This car is now in the classic car category. The prices are going up for the twin turbo model. I've owned mine for 20 plus years. I'm not giving her up. Salute to all my fellow Z car owners!
Thanks for Watching! Good job on holding the car for 20yrs, Keep enjoying it! Ive had my 240sx since '03.
Where are you watching the prices move? My dad owns one and it’s been part of my entire life. He hasn’t touched it in a long time since melting the inter cooler. Wondering if I could surprise him with some analytics to motivate him to let us work on it and get it on the road again.
I see a Z32 on the road once every 6 to 7 month, and when I see one it makes me happy because I own one.
Thanks for Watching! Yeah, its a nice treat to see an other on the road.
A guy in my town just recently got one! I haven’t talked to him but I’m sure he’s a cool guy haha
dido
i relate to this so much
I have a 1993 Z. I am the original owner. Got it at the age of 28. Cost $29,000 back then. Pearl Glacier White. I have all original paper work and dealers sale slip. Back then they sold the Nissan Mechanics Repair Manual. Which I still use today. Today I drive this Z once every two weeks or so. I do get thumbs up from people on the highway or at auto repair store. When I go to Nissan to pick up parts. I'll have car sales man and managers looking at the Z. Due to it being well kept and claeness. But also trying to get me to trade it in. I just laugh. I enjoy driving this Z. Enjoy every year of ownership. One of Nissan well design vehicle for back in its days. "ENJOY THE RIDE"
Thanks for watching and Thanks for sharing! Sound like you have a VERY Nice Collectors Z. Keep Enjoying this car.
Gonna reveal a pristine, 1000+ rwhp Z32 to the community, very soon. Had to have a few parts custom milled, and there’s a tiny bit of machining, so I got delayed slightly. Hoping to have everything done and tuned by the end of the year. Went all out on this. Top to bottom, front to back.
Thanks For Watching, That's going to be Awesome!
Great video. The Z32 is truly an icon - pleasant departure from the Z car design history. I actually like the Z32 design better that the 370, and even the new Z (on pictures only). Mine is a BLK 1996, basically daily driver. I have tried to keep it in pretty good shape - regular scheduled maintenance but use Mobil-1 on oil and car is stored in winter. I updated wheels to 18" with wider tires 285 R/255 F, lowered ~1/4 inch and put a cat-back exhaust, otherwise it's all stock. I have had plenty of folks ask and appreciate how good the car looks. Just a couple days ago, I was stopped for doing 67 on 55. The first thing the cop did was compliment the car (forget me!!) and said he was only going to give me a warning - he said there's not that many anymore and most don't look as clean. I got the warning. Love the Z32.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Love the z32!
I traded $800+93 sc400 for my 93 TTZ back in 2009. I repaired and modded it over the yrs. Back then these were easy to spot in socal and everywhere else. Nowadays it's almost impossible to see another one . These are going up in value for sure! Hard to work on? Yes, Now I can do 120k job in 4 hrs.
Thanks for Watching! Very Nice Trade!
Welp I'm 18. Just got a job at a ITT factory (good pay) and I just sold my 08 Malibu LTZ for $3.5k
I'm finally buying my dream car this Friday or Saturday! . Z32 300zx. But n/a. Can't find any cheap. It's $7.5k... but I gotta get one now before they really raise lol.
One I'm getting is super super clean. The interior has no flaws, all stock besides cold air intakes, and that red aftermarket hose that connects to the radiator. Low miles. Manual.
Definitely the first thing on list. 1. Clean everything including engine bay. 2. Completely flush and refuel all the liquids. 3. 120k service lol. 4. Look into an exhaust.
Update, I got it and did new injectors along with the kit and all new gaskets installed. We'll find out later today if it'll run 100% ; )
Now working on my 91 300zxtt. Full upgrades to 600 RWHP. Level 10 AT trans rebuild for 700HP. Mint condition.
Car and Driver top 10 every year it was in production. It was better than all the Japanese cars of the period. I had a brand new 300ZX TT in 1991 and I drove it for 12 years.

I'm all the way into it with the 120k service right now. I'm all the way down to the valve seals, valve cover gaskets, timing belt. All OEM parts. I'm doing the cooling system delete and half the PCV system. I'm not going after the EGR because it's to hard to get to; which is saying a lot because almost everything is hard to get to on these cars. These are great cars!

Hey Bill, yeah, Ive been Driving mine all the time, Special since the weather is getting nice here in Idaho.
I own a 1994 twin turbo manual with 70,000 kms on the clock. Shes a beauty. I live in new Zealand so we get them straight from Japan so they aren't messed up by US import laws.
Thanks for Watching! Nice Z. Hit me up on IG @ Build_Theory with a pic of your Z. I always like to see others cars.
You touched on something I'd like to highlight, its collectability factor. That is really starting to grow. Collectors are finally starting to realize what an icon the Z32 is.

Acknowledging this is about the Z32, I'm pretty sure the Z35 has been confirmed as a TT V6 - VR30DDTT, or some close variant thereof. Either way, I'm excited to see one in person.
Thanks for Watching! Yeah that thing should be pretty awesome!
The most important thing is to find a good mechanic. Someone who knows these cars. They can be reliable cars as long as it is maintained.
I was a Datsun/Nissan dealer tech when these came out, it was always a dream because it cost so much. As techs we would joke about these cars when doing a T-belt, the NA you can barely get you hand down the side of the engine but the TT you can barely get your finger.

Thanks for Sharing! Agreed, love the Z and R Chassis!
Beautiful car and timeless design!
Thanks for Watching! Yes indeed!
I got mine for an Xbox one best deal I ever made 😁 but he's not lying parts are expensive but not hard to work on love my z32
Nice trade!
I'm buying a 96 300zx n/a in 2 days for 6 grand.... 25 years I've wanted one. It's beautiful. Great video
Lucky bro im 19 and ive wanted one forever...i just need to get the money saved up for it.
Awesome! Let me know how it goes.
Just bought a 1990 twin turbo with 30k original miles. Lovin it so far!
Awesome!! Congratulations on the new car 🚗 💨💪
I own one in Australia and you don’t find them on the road anymore and yes it’s a timeless classic where no other modern car comes close. Prices are appreciating rapidly in value and as the Diablo lambo took our headlight I decided to make my Z into lambo doors
Cool, Thanks for Sharing!
Same thing happened with the sc300 I use to see them for sale everywhere for around 3 to 4 k in good condition now they're like 9k plus
There are two mint Z32s in my city in northern AZ and mine is one of them. It attracts tons of attention every time I drive it.
Awesome!
Fun fact the Diablo has a color matched strip of metal that goes across the top of the headlight because the oem 300zx headlights had the words “Nissan” engraved in the glass and Lamborghini didn’t want their customers knowing they had Nissan parts on their Italian super car.
in denmark they cost 800,000kr to 1,000,000kr danish kr and I here seen two in since I was 13 years old. there is no one for sale in dk right now and if you are hot and find one for sale it costs 200,000kr. that has been my dream car since I was 13 years old.
Owned 3 of them still have a 1990 turbo. Yea a Classic Head turner
Absolutely
Dream Car. I dont really desire the TT. Im looking to buy an NA and either boost the VG30 or 2JZ swap it down the road. Thanks for the content!
Keep up the 300zx content, Liked the video
Thanks for watching!
I can never get gas in peace lol! Someone always walks up to me and starts talking. I like the attention though its cool!
Yeah I love it, I get stopped all the time too! Its Nice to connect with other on cool cars like this.
Gotta 96 Z32 - 5 speed / NA/ 70k for 2grand. I'm beating on that NA is sooooo much fun. I'm leaving it OEM.
Thanks For Watching! Great score on the 300zx! Yeah the NA is pretty fun for sure. Enjoy that Z32!
I got a 96 also. I love it
Classic yes! Also a nightmare to work on just like the fd miata...
Z32 owners: I hate this piece of junk car
Also z32 owners: oh yeah I only have 4 of them
Thanks for Watching! Yeah, you got to have a parts car for your parts car, right?
we keep it that way bc I have a feeling that if they get popular again they will be forever gone. at the untouchable price, which saddens me.
I see one everyday. Since 2000. It's in my garage since 2000, very clean 91 2-seat, t-top, 5-spd manual, triple black, stage 2+. Not really into it. Wishing the values would be almost as high as MKIV's. But I dont know why it isnt as high as it 'should' be.
Just got one for 4.8 71k original miles. Mint velvet red interior, and it’s stick ! Let me tell you.. this car was everything I thought it would be. Slept onnn major
Thanks for watching! Congratulations on the new car, sounds like a sweet score!
Jesse I like this video (I'm own a 1991 twin turbo Z), but I must point out to you that Hong Kong is in China, Hong Kong has nothing to do with Nissan.
Please stop talking about these cars. I'm planning on getting one. It's been my dream car since I was 16 when it came out. YOU'RE GOING TO INCREASE THE DEMAND MAKING THEM MORE EXPENSIVE! Thank you. 😁
Yes please. Talk. I own and am sitting on an unmolested 1990 TT.
They are pretty sweet cars, I see good deals pop up ever once and a while, I hope you get to add one to your collection soon! Thanks for Watching.
Record breaking car.
I live in Italy and I have had a nissan 300zx twin turbo for about 15 years, unfortunately here in Europe there are very few spare parts and aftermarket performance parts, here you don't see any 300zx, I have seen maybe 3 besides mine in the last 15 years
Im in Topeka, KS. For some reason there's roughly 20+ different ones I see year round. population 117k, I see them very often, and they break my neck every time. Clean ones. Hoopies. doesn't matter. See them on craigslist and Fb marketplace all the time. looking to get a rhd beauty early next year.
Cool! I own one of these...it's a blast to drive!!
Agreed!
Ive been eyeing the market for a bit, looking for a good opportunity to trade up my current NA. The market for these cars have gone insane over the last year, even for clean NAs. Especially the last few months. Survivor NAs went from selling around 5-6k to some pushing closer to 15k now. Shits wild man. I grew up around these cars from my dad constantly buying/fixing/selling all sorts of Zs and its honestly mind blowing how sudden prices decided to go exponential. Happy I got to experience hundreds of mint and not so mint 240-300zs but kinda sad that those days are slowly coming to an end with supply and demand so jacked.
Thanks for sharing, Yeah seems to be happening to a lot of different iconic cars right now.
I see MAYBE 1 - 2 a year from somewhat randomness. I know one of the owners lives nearby, but It's not many of them! But I also have a TT one in my own garage.
24k for a RX7 the cheapest I’ve ever seen one is 40k oh,I’m in Canada but there is a 1993 300 Z for sale in Canada for $56,000 with 63,000 kms white on red interior better than mint condition TwinTurbo with a manual transmission it says the belt was already done. What do you think of this? I’ve always loved this car this video this put me over the edge. 😂
I can’t wait to find one 💎
I have a 1991 300zx TT. I never beat the car but wow you can just touch the gas and it throws you back in the seat. Im thinking about selling it. If anyone interested let me know. Not sure what it goes for
Before this is want a skyline or a Nissan leopard two door twin turbo. Same engine of the 300zx the ultima model
Always have been a dream of mine.
Thanks for Watching! Fun car, Hope you can get one!
I have one its a pain to work on but the car is pretty sick I got mine for 600 bucks lol
Thanks for watching! $600 that’s awesome
Question and it may have been answered before. Could I get an N/a and put in the turbos from the twin turbo one or not?
So I've lived in Iowa for my whole 29 years of life and I don't believe I have ever seen one 300ZX on the road or even at a car show and since I discovered them about a year ago I've really liked the look of them. I'd like to drive one before I plan on getting one and I found a nice one in another state and I really like the interior of it but it's almost $40k which for me that's a lot and I sold the BRZ I bought new last year for $31k this year but still owed $29,500 on it and I put what I made from it towards other bills so I'm not sure if I should still go for the one I've found with the only color interior I have ever seen in that car or get a cheaper one without that interior and save $10k or $20k or maybe more but I've never had a Nissan vehicle but I've had some Subarus and Hondas and a friend has said a Nissan would last a lifetime and I believe him when he's said that.
I just feel now is the time to get it because they will just get more expensive over time.
Thanks for sharing. Keep looking, I see really nice ones between 10-20k all the time, and project cars for much less. Good luck out there, let me know if you have any questions!!!
I have a Nissan 300 ZX motor went bad at me Unfortunately so I did an LS swap but I also have another one which is a 2 by 2
Hey Allen, Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you have a collection.
Great vid:) What's that black strip across the headlights and where can I get one please??
Hey Douglas! If your refuring to my car, its just the hood is popped and it looks like a stripe. Let me know if thats it
@@BuildTheoryZ Oh it is too!! I love these cars man, much better looking than mk iv supras IMHO
Great video 💪✌
Thank you 🙌
Im gonna get a Z31 instead, its gonna be my first car and im gonna daily drive it and it seems more simple to work on than the Z32. (Yeah, i know dailying an 80s sport car is a mistake but im willing to go through this huge learning experience, its gonna be fun. i look forward to when the car breaks down, i want to learn)
If you paid 5k for a TT right now, it is trashed pretty badly.
Thanks for watching. Agree 100%
I have a 2+2 would mines still be considered valuable?
300zx all good. I wanted the 2+2 and when out of my way to get one. Some people want a 2+0 but I really like the 2+2. Things that make the 300zx more valuable are the manual transmission and of course those beautiful twin turbos!
I don’t believe it’s possible to put a turbo in the n/a because the compression is different from the twin turbo vg
Thanks for watching! You can boost anything, but there is definitely some precautions to take when boosting a higher compression engine. Tuning is key. I was more or less referring to just swapping the TT in the car but with the options that the 300zx is the big plus.
Is it a crazy idea to put a turbo’d vw 2.5L 5cylinder into my RHD Z32 , instead of a RB. Since that 5cylinder is based off of the v10 Lamborghini Motor just chopped( not the 2.2L audi 20v from the S1 ) . Making my car a : baby Japanese lambo hybrid?!
Sounds pretty Wild, but I way Why not? Keep me updated!
Hello......I wanted to ask where can you get a NA engine?
Hey, Just put out a video answering this question. Hope it Helps!
Everyone forget about the lexus sc300
I’m with you, that car is slept on for sure. I would wrench on a 2jz 5spd any time.
@@BuildTheoryZ i also have a 2jzgte vvti 5 speed swap in my sc300 .check it out on RUclips Lexus life nyc
There is a dead as a door nail, 300zx parked next to me in the apartment garage.
Thanks for Watching! Got to swoop that up.
Would a Na be a good first car or not ?
Thanks for Watching! For a first Car/Only Car Maybe, Maybe not, This is an Older car and propyl needs maintenance done. If your not worried about needing to perform the maintenance or can comfortable afford to have it done, Yeah get one! If its a second car and you don't relay on it to get to school or work, Yeah pick one up! One down fall with this and ANY 30yr old car is, parts are out of there service life and will fail, witch can create a bad experience for someone that just wants to own the car and drive the car, not having to deal with an aging car. If you want to get one tho, I would suggest low mile and look for something with some service records, Especially Timing Belt that has less than 60k miles on it and preferably less than 6yrs old. Even better if the 120k service has been preformed, Make sure and watch my video about the 120k service and hows it so important for your Z. Pay a little more and get a nice well maintained 300zx, it will save you in the long run. If you want something a little newer and has a timing chain not belt I would suggest a 350z, I have a 350z and I love that car too, so much fun. More Question Just ask!
@@BuildTheoryZ Yeah I came to the conclusion I probably won’t get one because imma need a reliable car and I can’t be worrying on maintenance but I love these cars so much maybe in a couple years I may end up getting one. Thank you for the reply and I enjoy watching these videos even though I don’t got a Z lol.
I had a 94 na automatic about 12 years ago and I enjoyed it a lot! Now I got the 1996 tt 5 speed which is a blast!
wtf is a "Hong Kong hurricane"?
Need want and now got!!
Awesome, Enjoy!
@@BuildTheoryZ check out my z and let me know what I think. I'm no where near ur level at all but it's a slow process
there is any 2+2 twin turbo? or it is just for 2+0 versions?
I have seen JDM versions for sale in the US that are 2+2 twin turbo!
💎
I don't know about number 3....let me know where you get your after market stuff
Agreed. Parts are generally available, but are pricey, and there are a lot of OEM items that are NLA. If Z1, Specialty Z, Concept Z or Bernie doesn't have it, good luck.
Thanks for Watching! Sure may not have the aftermarket choices of something like a 240sx (not all of those chooses are good, lets be honest) but there are plenty of options, much better than most. The Z32's have aftermarket company's that specialize in stocking aftermarket parts for the Z chassis. Maybe Ill do a Video on something like this. Also the 90's Nissan sports cars use a bunch of the same parts (ie. 240sx and Z32 extremely similarly rear suspension set up). Thanks again for watching! Appreciate the support and Comment!

Interesting information
How I can contact to you ?
I have a 90 NA. About ready to do a tt swap. Should I get a tt motor? Rebuilt or Used? Where?
i think you should do a NA to TT conversion, upgrade a few NA parts to TT parts like the flywheel, injectors, spark-plugs, radiator i think theres a couple of other parts youll need. I know i will be doing this too, but i have to do a Auto-Manual conversion first :(
@@aurimasmaldzius5345 I don't remember all the details, but I thought I read that there is a cylinder compression difference between the na and tt motors. Its been a while though. Possibly difference in the cams also. I'll have to try and research it again. Not positive on all that like I said it was years ago that I read it in a Z forum.
@@jasonhereford3884 That is correct, its the main reason im doing it, the same stock PSI will give you around 40% more power gains, and even the rest of the NA components can handle allot more.
@@aurimasmaldzius5345 Really!!! Did not know that. THANKS!!!
@@jasonhereford3884 theres a really good article called "how to turbo your NA 300zx" and it has everything you need to know
Not even 1 in the UK south coast that is !!
Bolt in turbo in na engine??? Is that what your gonna do?
Twin Turbo Baby!
1 reason, just drive it, short, tall, fat or skinny
the only one I see in pristine condition is mine. other then that, they're all junky
Nice
