Would love to hear their opinion on on a Lexus SC300 (Toyota Soarer) compared to a 300zx and the GT 2.5 VS the V8 versions!!! Shouldn't be too hard to acquire.
@Taxymen my everyday drive for 6 months now. <3 the smiles it gives you, the looks it gets you, man, it's like nothing else. i never want to drive another car.
Thank you guys. Looking for a nice, older AWD/RWD car with nice power from a stock engine, and potential to become a beast. This is right up there with an E30/36...
this video sums up the 300zx very well this is my favorite sports car of all time it may not be the fastest but its beautiful fast enough and handles well i love this car from top to bottom in and out its an amazing car
@adamotocross48 I thought about selling a few years ago, but as with most of these cars, it'll never be worth to anyone else what it's worth to me. So I just drive it occasionally to keep the juices flowing, maintain a rigorous maintenance schedule, and will some day just pass it on to my son. The problem with Z's has always been that everyone thinks THEIR Z is worth a lot, but when it comes to buying somebody else's...not so much :)
@PookiePrancer i would take care of any 300zx any nissan to the best of my abilities i have an 06 sentra and i wax it a minimum of once a month was it at least once a week and make sure she shines like the stars because i want it to look as good as it runs and since it runds flawlessly the outside should reflect such a fact
I haven't even turned 15k miles in my 96TT! I've loved the Z32 since it was introduced. Once the babies started coming though, I haven't been able to drive it so much :( At least it still smells new.
My friend traded his 1991 z32(5 speed) for a rx-7 1989(automatic). His reason for the trade was that the z32 clutch was going bad. Now thats a stupid mistake. dont yall think? Now the rx-7 transmission is slippin. hes trying to get rid of it but its automatic and transmission going bad. WHAT A NOOB !
i love this car so much, and I'm planning to get the 2+2 tt. I don't know if I will be able to use it for daily driving cause people say this car gives a bit of problems when I was reading around the forums. But definitely want it.
@FMAZON3 you will have to go to europe for that. 2+2 tt weren't made in the U.S. I of course am assuming you are in the U.S. the only way for a 2+2 tt is dropping in some turbos or a swap
I have a black 1990 300zx Twin Turbo and I LOVE that car!!! That thing will pin you back in your seat as I've done to many people lol! This is one of the BEST sports cars! I like it better than the 350z that my cousin has. The 370z is pretty sweet but the 300zx is just a classic beauty! Take it for a spin on a morning around 30 to 35 degrees and it will try to get away from you!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
3rd and 4th gen supras destroyed z cars of same year, no comparison, nissan needed the skyline to keep up to supras and supras still won.z's are garbage especially with crappy v6's, straight 6's always and still dominant even todays modern engines
@891trigfoot im sorry, but have you seen any 300zx vs supra vids on here? seemed like toyota needed something better to me. the 300 beat the supra just about every single time. and the 80's 300 turbos were horriblely made. they overheated crazy fast, and they weren't all that much faster than the nonturbos.
supras always destroyed z cars hands down.my first car was 84 supra, my friend had 84 300zx, or whatever it was called that year, maybe 280 zx, anyway i beat him everytime and his car was turbocharged.his broke 2years later, back in 2000, i still have mine, it runs, needs so work, but still has lots of power.
aight i got a 300zx TT but it has stock wheels, i wanted to get 2 different sizes, smaller in the front and bigger in the back. but i heard that it could mess up ur tires more but can it also reduce the handeling of ur car?
I've been wanting a z for 11, if not more, years. After watching this video probably 100 times, today I bought a 1992 slicktop with 113k miles, and I love it.
Hell, my 1990 Motor Trend magazine stopped the twin turbo from 60 to 0 in 111 feet in their first road test, which at the time was the hardest stopping car Motor Trend ever tested. Interesting it's getting knocked for its brakes. I wonder if it's just because they're 17 year old brakes?
They don't slide. You pull a handle from the inside and swivel it straight up. Then pull it to the side a little and the pins that hold it up come out of that center brace part. I've taken mine off while sitting at stop lights and gotten funny looks before.
Is there a difference in Redline for the TT and N/A models? I see a 6500rpm Redline at 1:47 and I've only seen 7000rpm on the others I've seen. Were there different Redlines for different years? Or was it just the TT and N/A difference?
@whoohaaXL All models have the 7k redline, it's just the 1990 models that show a dashed strip before redline. However, automatic 300zx's are programmed to shift at 6500rpm.
376 people can't afford to buy a 370z - having said that, neither can I =(
The 300zx is super cheap to buy now, but is notorious for engine problems unless modified. It is mega heavy with a long wheelbase and the rear 3 quarter window makes the side view look fugly, especiall for the 2+2 version.
I wouldn't say that. I just dumped the price of my buddy's lightly used 370Z into a new Golf TDI. I still have a 300ZX and I choose to because when I finish fixing it up, it will be faster and better looking than a 370. Its lighter than the 350 and 370 and unlike both of them, it doesn't look like something a girl's car or a girl's car that they tried to mask with fangs in the fascia.
@TheDontcareee does it come with RWC? if not definately get it checked out cause i got one inspected which had a low price on it and it ended up needing 3 grand to get it road worthy. Oil leaks in tappet cover/power steering rack. Still bought it though...
@Infiniteuphorix bro give me some advise .i wanna buy it 1st time ..i love this car...does it always have engine problem..shall i go for turbo or non turbo?
@imranbacha im no expert on them mate but a few of them get oil leaks here n their i hear which is what im fixing up on mine atm. i wouldnt buy one with anything over 150000k or 93000miles on it though. Mine had 124000k when i bought it which i hope is genuine lol I guess you could buy one and put a turbo on it but i dont really see alot of point in that unless the motors in excellent condition... Up to you always a risk though. Im only wanting mine to last a few years til i graduate lol
@Infiniteuphorix thanx mate,is yours turbo or non turbo...? how long you have had this car for..? how is it apart from engine like mechanically...? does it bother you all the time..? can i ask where you from mate..?
@imranbacha mines the twin turbo version and ive had it for a month but i cant drive it cause im waiting on a seat belt retractor from japan to make it road worthy. They suppose to be fairly strong mototrs though so im hoping i wont have too many more problems after i fix the leaks. Im from QLD australia.
@Infiniteuphorix coool, good luck with that..and good to know that me from melbourne :) cheers mate...i am in dilemma between this and ford probe..both attracts me ..so making up my mind...
Help anybody! I want this car so bad, it would be my first car. I'm hesitant to buy it because I heard the electrical system sucks and it requires A LOT of maintence. Is this true? (I know it's not a good idea to get a fast car as a first car but I'm not a reckless driver)
i have a 91 stealth rt and i want to upgrade to a tt car i was thinking about getting a stealth tt but now i want one of these fo show lol humm what is the base hours power looking it up now
Damn, I'm really tryna get a 300zx right now as a first car. I've watched this video probably 15 times because I really want to get one. What kind of differences are there in performance and mpg on the NA vs the TT, since you've driven the both of them I was hoping you guys would know. Thanks for doing these reviews, I love em!
Nice job guys, I enjoy all your 'down-to-earth' reviews. Couple questions: I've read several posts relating to injectors being a potential issue...how often do these normally act up? If it's only like every 5 years or so that's one thing, if it's every year or 2 then that's another. Also I've always been hesitant about turbos since I've heard friends talk about dumping large amounts to fix them (not in these cars, just in general) so was wondering if that fear is well founded. thx
Just got one (: 1993 with 95k miles. It's a convertible (only 3000 made) with a body kit and $2,500 rims, and 2 12in subs in the back! All for $5000! The mechanic said it was "as clean as a whistle." :D First car baby!!
@nameless212. LOL...you are right. This car is not for you. Go get yourself a nice Volvo and leave the bad ass sports cars to those that don't give a shit about crash test ratings!
@nameless212 Actually, I hit a van going about 25 mph and smashed the rear of their car with no perceptible damage to my 300zx. And more importantly, I wasn't hurt at all. I have felt very safe in this car ever since.
@kidicey If you want an automatic car buy a V8, like a mustang. A Z-car will never give you as much of a reward when it is automatic, it is very compromised. You need more torque to get any fun at all out of an automatic. Tuning an automatic gear box to shift as good as a manual (with a good driver) would cost you a ton of money and you would end up with a car that is uncomfortable as a daily driver. Why do you think modern sport cars have different gear box settings?
ya know, i own a 08 350z, and the more i see the Zx's the more im getting convinced to make my 3rd car a Zx.. now i saw this video, and guess what my mind is saying.. ( That's it! im gett'n me a ZX!!!) the car just looks soo damn good to be a classic, and the best part is it's affordable lol! :D
my god that unmolested pearl white(?) 300zx is oh so gorgeous & with it's stock chrome wheels it makes it a plus! I think 300zx's true beauty lies in it's stock trim IMO.
i love this video. I own a 1990 300ZX Twin Turbo in pearl white like the one in the video. this car is like a child to me, like a second skin. and i will never sell this car.
@831caliking - The rear seats are VERY tight. The 2+2 is around a foot longer than the coupe, you can easily tell the difference from the outside, and if you need confirmation look at the fuel-door. The coupe has the fuel door in front of the rear wheel, the 2+2 has it behind the wheel.
@EverydayDriver I disagree, I think from looking at them you can't always tell the difference. You can if you look well, but it's not something you can always instantly pick.
@mikixP I had a Z for a long time, wonderful car and very reliable. My only critique is that the engine is very hard to work on due to lack of space, and therefore labor is expensive.
My daily driver is my 300ZX GS Coupe with an anything but stock VG30 and i love her to death these really are thee greatest import sports car to ever come out of japan...
im thinking about buying a car like this could you guys give me some more info on this car? what to expect and what not because this is going to be my first car and im buying online used hopefully for 3000 im a student going to college
And I enjoy these reviews immensely! The setup of two guys with oft-differing observations of the car being critiqued can be highly useful for someone considering the car being reviewed.
I have watched possibly every review currently offered by EverydayDriver here and I offer my highest, most positive feedback and admiration for this type of automobile review!
Great job, guys! Thanks for all you do!
But, I sure hope your 300ZX goes to a loving home....... : ) : (
@jesusisbetter - Todd found selling his 300zx to be a very bittersweet moment. He still loves the 300zx, and wishes to have one in his dream garage at some point in the future. But in the mean time, there are lots of great cars out there and he wanted to own something else for a while.
Thanks for watching, and we really appreciate your kind words.
Of course, all of my words directed at Todd are in jest and in fun. Just poking someone for departing with such a wonderful car after giving it such praise in a You Tube review.
I have met very few people who would depart with their 300ZX for almost any reason. Mostly they sell because of financial issues, the car is old and will cost a bit more to maintain, or a lot less if you get your hands dirty & into your 300 yourself. That's the FUN part for many of us. It's our hobby, and passion!
I am shattered! I have lost all respect and admiration for Daily Driver!
One of the things that attracted me to you guys was the 300 owned and revieved so positively by Todd. Now he's selling it?! Was all the praise you gave the car true? The only redeeming value to this decision would be if you were getting something older, a 280ZX, 240, 60, 80, WHY are you doing this?!
Wow! A Z-car enthusiast reacts with intensity! All in jest! Well, maybe not ALL.. : )
Just bought a 91 300zx TT, 1/20/11, and it's amazing. 400hp with very minimal mods. The most impressive thing about the car would have to be the Super HICAS Steering, it's just incredible. When i through it into a corner I have to correct myself because I always give the wheel too hard of a turn and I always catch myself having to turn back the other way in a turn because the HICAS is just amazing. You can be driving on a highway and turn the wheel side to side very fast, and still go straight
@yungrey55 if you dont mind me asking, do you live in the us? and how did you acquire the car? im thinking of buying a z31 or z32 and i want to make a good purchase, not get a shitty one from craigslist. thanks a lot.
@HDMFly Yes I do live in the US. I found my car on Autotrader for $9,000. Do not use craigslist. I found a few 300zxs on there and when I went to look at them they were all in bad condition. Make sure to get a lot of information on one you find, and A LOT of pictures. Good to find one under 100,000 miles. Best years are 92-95. 91 Had some problems and 96 had no variable valve timing. Stock alternators usually go bad around 100k miles and make sure if it has had its 60k mile maintenance.
It looks good, plus the 2+2 model has back seats. The perfect dream car.

@Infiniteuphorix bro give me some advise .i wanna buy it 1st time ..i love this car...does it always have engine problem..shall i go for turbo or non turbo?
imranbacha 6 months ago
@imranbacha im no expert on them mate but a few of them get oil leaks here n their i hear which is what im fixing up on mine atm. i wouldnt buy one with anything over 150000k or 93000miles on it though. Mine had 124000k when i bought it which i hope is genuine lol I guess you could buy one and put a turbo on it but i dont really see alot of point in that unless the motors in excellent condition... Up to you always a risk though. Im only wanting mine to last a few years til i graduate lol

@Infiniteuphorix thanx mate,is yours turbo or non turbo...? how long you have had this car for..? how is it apart from engine like mechanically...? does it bother you all the time..? can i ask where you from mate..?
imranbacha 6 months ago
@imranbacha mines the twin turbo version and ive had it for a month but i cant drive it cause im waiting on a seat belt retractor from japan to make it road worthy. They suppose to be fairly strong mototrs though so im hoping i wont have too many more problems after i fix the leaks. Im from QLD australia.

What kind of differences are there in performance and mpg on the NA vs the TT, since you've driven the both of them I was hoping you guys would know. Thanks for doing these reviews, I love em!

Nice job guys, I enjoy all your 'down-to-earth' reviews. Couple questions: I've read several posts relating to injectors being a potential issue...how often do these normally act up? If it's only like every 5 years or so that's one thing, if it's every year or 2 then that's another. Also I've always been hesitant about turbos since I've heard friends talk about dumping large amounts to fix them (not in these cars, just in general) so was wondering if that fear is well founded. thx

i currently drive a 06 dodge charger rt and well im looking for somthing differant and am willing to sacrifice some space but not too much
kidicey 9 months ago
@kidicey If you want an automatic car buy a V8, like a mustang. A Z-car will never give you as much of a reward when it is automatic, it is very compromised. You need more torque to get any fun at all out of an automatic. Tuning an automatic gear box to shift as good as a manual (with a good driver) would cost you a ton of money and you would end up with a car that is uncomfortable as a daily driver. Why do you think modern sport cars have different gear box settings?

hey, i want to know how big is a 2+2 compared to the regular coupe zx?
831caliking 10 months ago
@831caliking - The rear seats are VERY tight. The 2+2 is around a foot longer than the coupe, you can easily tell the difference from the outside, and if you need confirmation look at the fuel-door. The coupe has the fuel door in front of the rear wheel, the 2+2 has it behind the wheel.
EverydayDriver 10 months ago
@EverydayDriver yeah i know the fuel part. just 1 foot longer ok thxz!
831caliking 10 months ago
@EverydayDriver I disagree, I think from looking at them you can't always tell the difference. You can if you look well, but it's not something you can always instantly pick.

Japanese cars in general have the best engineering, quality, fit and finish and
reliability. My ego doesn't need a three pointed star on the hood! I LOVE MY Z-32!

I bought a super nice 6sp MKIV Supra, planned on selling my pearl white 91 300ZX
TT. Can't do it, as Todd said "I LOVE THIS CAR". Besides marginal brakes and
difficult to work on early ones can have injector issues (expensive). 400 (smogable)
hp came easily. Purchased in 2000 with 40K, has 80K now. Puts a smile on my face
every time I drive it. Gorgeous, spacious, fast, 23-28 mpg (highway). LOVE IT!
350 or 370? No thanks. Stuck with two twin turbos but would like to add Mazda
FD to stable.

And I enjoy these reviews immensely! The setup of two guys with oft-differing observations of the car being critiqued can be highly useful for someone considering the car being reviewed.
I have watched possibly every review currently offered by EverydayDriver here and I offer my highest, most positive feedback and admiration for this type of automobile review!
Great job, guys! Thanks for all you do!
But, I sure hope your 300ZX goes to a loving home....... : ) : (

@jesusisbetter - Todd found selling his 300zx to be a very bittersweet moment. He still loves the 300zx, and wishes to have one in his dream garage at some point in the future. But in the mean time, there are lots of great cars out there and he wanted to own something else for a while.
Thanks for watching, and we really appreciate your kind words.

iampragmatic 11 months ago
Of course, all of my words directed at Todd are in jest and in fun. Just poking someone for departing with such a wonderful car after giving it such praise in a You Tube review.
I have met very few people who would depart with their 300ZX for almost any reason. Mostly they sell because of financial issues, the car is old and will cost a bit more to maintain, or a lot less if you get your hands dirty & into your 300 yourself. That's the FUN part for many of us. It's our hobby, and passion!
jesusisbetter 11 months ago
Todd is SELLING HIS 300?!?!
I am shattered! I have lost all respect and admiration for Daily Driver!
One of the things that attracted me to you guys was the 300 owned and revieved so positively by Todd. Now he's selling it?! Was all the praise you gave the car true? The only redeeming value to this decision would be if you were getting something older, a 280ZX, 240, 60, 80, WHY are you doing this?!
Wow! A Z-car enthusiast reacts with intensity! All in jest! Well, maybe not ALL.. : )

I think 300zx is better just with the fact that they actually came with turbo or twin turbo.

Just bought a 91 300zx TT, 1/20/11, and it's amazing. 400hp with very minimal mods. The most impressive thing about the car would have to be the Super HICAS Steering, it's just incredible. When i through it into a corner I have to correct myself because I always give the wheel too hard of a turn and I always catch myself having to turn back the other way in a turn because the HICAS is just amazing. You can be driving on a highway and turn the wheel side to side very fast, and still go straight

HDMFly 11 months ago
@HDMFly Yes I do live in the US. I found my car on Autotrader for $9,000. Do not use craigslist. I found a few 300zxs on there and when I went to look at them they were all in bad condition. Make sure to get a lot of information on one you find, and A LOT of pictures. Good to find one under 100,000 miles. Best years are 92-95. 91 Had some problems and 96 had no variable valve timing. Stock alternators usually go bad around 100k miles and make sure if it has had its 60k mile maintenance.
