Alsow no nice coupes made anymore :( No 180/200 silvias No real Z-car (compared to the z32 all what came after was a disappointment) Do you guys still remember the old slogan?

[@Psythik]

@@Isaacfrmdaa For a 17-year-old, your top priorities should be safety and reliability. You are young and dumb, so you need a car that you can beat on and crash several times and still walk away in one piece. My suggestion? Toyota Camry. Don't be stupid like I was as a teen, and buy more car than you can handle. Cause you *will* damage it from lack of maintenance, and you *will* smack it against curbs, poles, and random trees. If you ignore my advice and get something fast and/or nice, don't come crying to me when you eventually kill the car and/or yourself.

[@willspicer3190]

When i was like 10 (in the year 2000) a neighbor had 1 of these cars under a tarp and occasionally work on it. Everytime he worked on it id ask him what he was doing and he would always say "im building a race car buddy" id ask him if his car was fast and he said "itll be fast". So the years passed and sadly my family and i moved away and i never saw the car finished. Everytime i see a 300zx it reminds me of the guy and his race car.

In 1993 I was a Nissan tech fresh out of high school when these cars came out and I fell in love the first time I saw one. I drove tons of the non-turbo 300 and they were pretty much better in every way as a daily driver but the Twin-Turbo Twin Intercooled versions had lots of growing pains and I remember them having lots of clutch issues with the TT cars. Tuning wasn’t as common as it is now so to find a modified one back then was unusual but I had a customer that had done fuel, intercooler, exhaust and turbo upgrades and a ‘chip’ that had to be soldered into the ecu to make it all work. He had a binder of receipts from a shop in Florida that did the build. He was a pilot and an adrenaline junkie and we struck up a friendship after a giggle-inducing high speed drive to demo a vibration that no one else was able to fix until I discovered a bad driveshaft carrier bushing/bearing assembly was the culprit and got the driveshaft replaced under factory warranty. After that, he would only bring the car to me for service or repair. He was always telling me how he could stomp on a new Vette or Mustang (I had a new 5.0 then) and he beat the absolute crap out of that car and was outrunning muscle cars and Gixers on the streets just about every weekend. We were pretty relaxed on warranty work in those days but I remember an adjuster denying a repair after he had smoked the rear end for the second time due to the abuse and modifications and after an investigation the VIN was entered into a ‘do not honor’ status on his warranty in the Nissan service database. He was loaded and had a best friend that was an attorney on speed dial so he got away with more than the average Joe and always had a riveting story to tell about some adventure he had gotten himself into in the car. The best story he had was spending the night in jail after being chased down racing a CBR in the Everglades by a highway patrol officer in a Pursuit Mustang and had the 184mph ticket in the service book to prove it! The case was thrown out when the officer ‘could not recollect’ if it was his 300zx or another 300zx so the judge had no choice but to drop the charges. 😎👍

[STORY TIME] Thank you for this video. I grew up a poor immigrant kid in southern Ontario, Canada in the 90s, but in my neighborhood, a friend’s dad had a spotless 300ZX in red w/the all black interior. I think it was the first time I actually got to touch/sit in a wedge-shaped sports car. It was such a special sight. Nobody in my complex was jealous or hateful, even another neighbor who had a Taurus SHO would compliment the Nissan. We were all just happy to see it every time it drove by, knowing it is something unique in our little pocket of town, in a sea of Neons, Jettas and Cavaliers. As an adult, every time I see one, I’m in time-machine mode. Sorry for the lengthy post, and shout out to everyone with childhood memories of cool cars!!😊

Oh god, no. I was coming here to say the problem was that when it came out, it started looking old and dated less than a year after it was released. I can't think of another car that managed this. The design was the exact opposite of timeless, it's time was about 6 months, then it expired. This was a topic of conversation among friends, everybody liked the way it looked when it came out, 2 years later, nobody did. It's sales died because of the styling, not despite it. Their sales went from 22K the first year it was out, to 15K year two, less than 10K each of the next two years, then less than 5K for per year. You may like it for it's "retro" styling now, but its looks aged like milk in the 90s. The new Z, to me at least, is exactly the same, first few pictures were cool, but as time passes and the more I see it, it just doesn't look that good anymore, and they haven't even started making it yet.

The 300ZX TT was a force to be reckoned with when it debuted. By 1994 it was noticeably slower in a straight line than the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 and Toyota Supra TT but was more fun to dive than either. I had a 1991 300ZX Twin Turbo and a 1998 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 back in the early 2000s. Driven back to back it's obvious the Mitsubishi is the faster car, at the track I ran 13.7-14.0@99-102mph in the Z and in the VR-4 I ran 13.3-13.5@101-103mph. Despite being a bit slower, the Z was still the most versatile and fun to drive. I daily drove the VR-4 due to its AWD and took the Z when it was nice out.

I put over a 100K miles on it, and all I ever needed to do was regular maintenance, except perhaps replacing the rear Z-rated tire$ about twice a year.

Not entirely true. I agree that most of the Z32's were bought up by a younger demographic that didn't maintain them, abused them, and tastelessly modded them. However, properly maintained Z32's still have all the great tech that works. My '90 NA, which was one of the first ones sold in Ohio, is pristine and everything works 100%; even the original digital clock which is known to stop working. The engine runs strong, VTC still works, all electronics still function, T-tops don't leak, and hell even the driver's side key hole still illuminates green. Power seats and mirrors still operate. It's as solid as it was 30 years ago but not without proper maintenance. I'll never sell her and in fact she may get a TT sister if I find one in similar condition.

I have a 1991 300zx TT that I bought in 2007. I was tired of dealing with the old tech and issues, so I did the forbidden LS swap. It's now a 1100whp, ethanol burning, 6.2l, LS3 with rear mounted twin turbos, making around 1300hp crank. To my knowledge, it's the most powerful LS swapped street legal Z32 in Zword, as of 04/2020. Some history: I bought a 1990 Z32 NA back in 2001. I always loved the way these cars looks. The timing belt broke, and the engine had to be replaced. I then bought a 1991 Z32 TT in 2007. It was already moded, and made 550whp. It was a fun car until the gaskets started to go, along with many other problems over the year, but hey, it's an old car. I decided to do a swap, and decided on the LS3. The LS3 aluminum block is nearly 200lbs lighter than the VG30DETT, and takes up less room in the bay. This means you can work on the engine, and not have to remove it every time something goes wrong. Hit me up on social media ( XTZTwinTurbo ) and check out the vids and pics. #XTZTwinTurbo

It has an LSD front diff too. It was also a fun car especially for a front wheel drive sport car. I dropped it 2 inch full custom exhaust and that thing got so many compliments because not a lot of ppl mod those. It had the same engine as the 300zx but was the front wheel drive version. It of course lacked that forced induction those TT made all the difference. My friends dad has a bad ass 700hp+ 300zx. He also had an 04 G35 Coupe which was brand new at the time. He had it for a month before he threw an Eaton Supercharger on it. That's when I started to fall in love with those Gs. I got a G35x, it's not a coupe but it's still fun. Nissan all the way...

That is basicly a US thing only. Nissan even dropped the basic engines for their coupes and swapped in the ka24 Traktor engine... Just to make it simple enough to get it serviced reliable in the US... I guess it's cause most American engine builders have no experience working on more complex engines. Why should they, LS (and other pushrod v8) engines are dirt cheap in the US and basicly everyone understands them and knows how to work on them. They are way simpler in design compared to more modern engines (like mid 80s🤣) they are however not without their own problems....

[@Thumper68]

Momokmon non car guys don’t know what a sleeper is....

[@RedactedUser357]

@@Thumper68 Just because they don't know what a sleeper is, doesn't mean they won't still be fooled.

[@fgc_kaiser172]

What? it has the agressive, fast car look, non car guys might even think its faster than it actually is, if they don't see the nissan badge

[@DeputyNordburg]

That's just goofy. It is obviously a purpose built sports car to even a casual observer. And with 0-60 times of 8.5 seconds for the turbo when introduced, it was sleepy, not a sleeper.

They'll be like "did I just get beat by a Saturn?!?" Lol. Nope! These 300s are awesome.💯

[@pippylongsausage1275]

i had a 90’ TT i blew up after a week of owning it. untuned extra boost and 130mph. still worth it. favorite car i’ve ever owned.

"Nissan, where did you go?" ... best part of the video!

[@brawdz31]

Love how the first thing people do to these cars is delete the Hicas steering

[@Ntyuask]

So true! And all these kids driftinz their 240's have no idea that alot of those came with Hicas steering also.

My skyline R33 has hicas

I learned a lot about engines today - thank you very much! The iconic look of the 300zx makes it worth it!

[@NiTed199]

I've always loved the 300ZX. It still looks great to this day, and this video confirms that a lot of effort went into developing and designing it.

[@fiisho]

The 300zx (z32 tt) is an amazing platform. My dad has one that I've worked on and driven. It's blue with the blue Interior, with a sweet set of team impul rims and the nismo spec bumper.

[@BIsForBudget]

"Nissan what happened to you!!"

[@JethroRose]

renault bean counters bought the company and ran it into the ground

[@warlockd8660]

When I was enlisted, I had a 1990 z32 TT 5spd, white with red interior. Had stillen ecu, stillen intake, stillen exhaust. Bumped up to 14lbs of love suck squatin' on 400bhp. Miss that car. This video was great. Thanks Donut. Love you guys!

[@Supernaut710]

I have a N/A Z32 1994 and although it's complicated to work on, I absolutely love it.

[@dylanjohnson3526]

You never explained the DOOMED part.

alot of T E C H and hicas failure

[@redneck4528]

Tech and the Japanese bubble economy it put the hurt on japanese car makers particularly Nissan and Honda.

[@xBrabus76]

@@hollllowpurple Nooo, all of that stuff you have to maintain in order for those 2 techs to work!

[@Boxpsring]

If you have owned one then you already know.

[@BrisLS1]

Agree with the complaint. Having lots of technology does not equate to "Doomed". I think it was an economic problem. Original sticker price in 1995 was over $40,000. You could get a Camaro Z28 and a Pontiac Trans Am and drive them on alternating days, making the same 300hp, with an almost rock solid guarantee your engine would never see a wrench applied to it. It was just a crappy value proposition to buy the 300ZX. It was then, what the NSX and the Lexus LFA are today, a total ripoff.

[@bazzyg]

Finally!! Some love for the 300ZX. I used to have a RHD 1990 TT Jap import spec manual tuned to 450bhp. Best car I had ever owned. For me it was the cockpit and driving position. Best driving position in any car I have ever sat in.

[@kirkrose3426]

I have a 1991 with 65k on it. It's been climate controlled storage for the past 10 years and a little old man had it. It was a one owner and now I drive it every single day. I'm brought it in the 2021 with a new radio, carplay etc and I have two other tubes but this one is my favorite.

[@pigroach5789]

Sounds like a time capsule, enjoy it!

[@TasteofBlood]

I’ve got 3 Z32’s currently. I love everything about these cars and I know I’ll keep atleast one till the day I die.

[@missioncreekstyle3814]

Freakin' sweet. Now there's a fan!

Lol i can’t even find one of them!

I can relate to the sentiment. I've held to one for the past 22 years :)
