The Z32 300ZX was my dream car since I was a kid. Hell, I bought a 240SX as a stopgap back before they are cool. After finally buying the Z I can say it lived up to the hype, as well as the stigma about needing difficult repairs. The car is an absolute dream to drive. You feel like you're the goddamn protagonist of the road. It's so responsive and eager, while also refined and classy. Most cars like this cost far far more, not that the Z was cheap in its heyday. Repairs though SUCK. In my experience the car is super reliable, but when even the smallest thing goes, it will be 2x-3x more work (or shop cost) than most cars. For fucks sake, I tried to change the air filter and it ended up being easier to just *swap the intake* to a pop than to reinstall the nightmare of a skin-scraping nose box Nissan demanded! That said, the car is an absolute beauty and timelessly designed. Even the interior somehow escaped the ugly 90s mess that you'll find in the Supra or the 3000GT. Tasteful. Classy. Minimalistic, but also enthusiastic for the driver to take control. And yes, very roomy and comfortable, even for 6'+ drivers. There's a reason Car and Driver put this Z on the Top 25 Cars of All Time list... FOR TEN YEARS IN A ROW. Drive one ONCE and you'll understand. Fix one once... And you'll curse yourself for falling in love for such a demanding machine!

@wingspantt that may be true (ive never been in a 300zx to compare) But both my vr4s had well over 100k and everything held up well. I've been down the 300zx rabbit hole the last few days, and I've seen multiple owner videos complaining about those switch pods on both sides of the cluster having issues holding up over time. Regardless, I do like the 300zx interior a lot. I need to get behind the wheel of one...I'd love to have a nice NA 2+2 t-top car, and LS swap it if the motor ever goes.

So the reason the slicktop (or "hardtop") twin turbo automic car would be worth purchasing as a RHD is because they never offered slicktop twin turbo cars outside of Japan. In North America the slicktops were only ever NA cars. Also in Japan most of the twin turbos made were 2+2, but all twin turbo's in America were short wheelbase cars. All slicktops regardless of region or engine aspiration were short wheelbase cars. The only way you can get a LHD slicktop twin turbo would be a Na-t build or a full twin turbo swap. Also the guys asking in the 30's aren't dreamers, depending on the spec and milage it's very realistic!

I'll give it this, as I found out years ago, this along with the 3000gt are definitely mechanics cars, meaning you gotta be good at taking things apart, doing deletes, having unorthodox tools you wouldn't need for other cars to get jobs done on this one but I'm the end it's worth it. Either that or you go with 2 options that involve you finding a good z32 specific mechanic. 1, save up money get a really good one so that you can enjoy it for a long while or 2, get one that has simple mechanical issues that can be repaired for less than an arm and leg and then enjoy it.

I've never gotten to drive the twin turbo model, but my mechanic bought one new in the 90s and said he loved the car to death, but there's virtually no space in the engine bay to work on it. I have been around the NA model both auto and manual and I can say confidently that an NA 2+2 Z32 I would love to daily right now and it's one of my dream cars. They just drive so good and both the Z31 and Z32 were meant to be GT cars so they're actually really comfortable. It sucks that the NSX/Supra/Skyline/FD are all priced out of range for most people now, but of the remaining affordable 90s JDM halo cars, the Z32 is the winner imo, SVX is a pain to get parts for now and most are the FWD model anyway, and this is anecdotal but every 3000GT/Stealth I've seen has had issues and they multiply exponentially if you try to get any more horsepower/torque out of one. Not gonna lie though if you go back a decade I do think the A70 Supra and FC Turbo 2 if you can find a good one of either is also a great choice for old JDM.

3k vr4's are still affordable, y'all should know that since you covered them, which imo you guys(Well most people really) give them more shit than they deserve, I may be biased but they're really slept on cars imo, and they aren't nearly as unreliable as many people suggest, like any old sports car if you buy a good (ie. clean, ie. not basket case hoopdy) they're solid, and if you don't not so much. I routinely drove mine 5 hrs back and forth from md to pa for 2 years, only issues I had we're due to PO driving it in NY winters, blew out a brake line on one trip, and a heat shield fell half way off on another, not a single issue otherwise on those trips. That said they aren't faultless, lifter tick and caved oil pans from TB changes causing spun bearings are the 2 biggest issues imo, but both fairly easily remedied/prevented. In stark contrast to my shitbox DSM, but I knew exactly what I was getting into there and to me it is worth it since the shell was mint and it had a 6 bolt in it. Honestly I've always been surprised the 300z's are going for more, but maybe that's bc they have a much longer lineage, that still spans to current day. In any case, both cars are the redheaded step childs of the halo cars. R34's are cool and all, but onobtanium, back when I got into cars and wanted a JDM I wanted one of them more. But it can't hold a candle to 3k in looks or price, and even modded the r34 will take the lead, but the fastest 3k's aren't all that far off imo, and I suspect it's more to due with the fact that there just aren't many people pushing the limits of the 3k and the 6g72, that said I'm shooting for at least 600 to wheels, maybe close to 1k depending on how brave I get and what the turbos I have in mind will be up for, they're good for 1120 on paper. Should be finally getting her back from body and paint in spring or early summer. Buying all my parts for the build before I start it for once, because I don't want it in pieces for half a decade, hoping to start the build in 2-5 years, still gotta get a donor engine(engine in it is fine, but again I want to cut downtime), internals, turbos and a trans build, have most of the rest of what I need. On a side note, if you guys happen to read this whole comment, it's certainly entertaining to see all the basket cases on the marketplace, but you guys might consider showing what a given car CAN be, when actually taken care of and or modded tastefully and not on a shoestring budget. We all know the basket cases are rarely worth it, but the alternatives are in scarce supply these days.

Theres also the literal Porsche engined Giugiaro design i would say qualifies as JDM Halo but even more people forget that one, and its not one of the Wangan classics so doesn't qualify the same outside of its Halo status. Drove one once and it was one of the most engaging high comfort cars i've driven, maybe R32 Golf was similar, really liked it but practically every single one has bricked transmissions these days. After shopping for a few as a daily the interior has to be right, most the cheaper fwd SVX have terrible multi grey shaded interior but when the design works and is amazing only seems to show in Beige and woody shades of up scale models, the common super cheap grey shaded one just looks old, cheesy even in grey velour.

1:55 Purely a personal thing. The cars value is the same regardless of side of steering wheel due to it being the same save for that detail. Unlike many other vehicles where the JDM ones come with better stuff, stronger engines, lighter panels... ect ect ect... This one is the red headed step child..... nobody cares one way or the other.. IF you do.. you probably dont care if its right or left.. UNLESS you have a personal preference to one. Being that we are Here... of course YOU would prefer left hand drive.. Were so used to it. Drive thru food and coffee stops are a PITA with RHD.. ect.. But if you are "collecting the car" because you love it and the JDM Hero/Halo goodness... What window you pick your starbucks up in isnt a determining factor.

Also the Red interior... For US... I agree ... Hideous. However. The next generation up, the ones who own Ferraris and lambos... DO LOVE that red interior. Just sayin. Also the first one, you argued RHD ect... then seen 2 nearly identical that SOLD for 18,000... 8:15 Too early... Hes got another 10 year before he can HOPE to ask 100k for it. Even with Canadian exchange rate markup.

Theres one near my house, a 93 NA with 64K miles on it. The place wants 5K flat. He said it runs and drives, just needs new fuel and he replaced the injectors. Its manual so Id have to learn in it. Would it be a good project car? Its not replacing my daily tC2.

16:09 again with the interior... You are coming from OUR generation saying this but it wouldnt be us buying it. Look at the Ferraris and Lambos and such... that the older gen is buying up right now.. The 2024 Porsche 91 GT3RS..... SAME COLOR BROWN INTERIOR... but its still selling for an obscene price. For us if its not a nice simple black interior we look away... but look past that.

There were _definitely_ 2+2 300ZXs. These are likely the more desirable cars today (longer wheelbase). As other, more knowledgeable individuals have pointed out, Twin Turbo 2+2s were only available in Japan (RHD) from factory, so that's definitely worth the clarification presented in the ad.

too be fair to that one guys gramps here in Ontario Canada low km TT z32s are going for around 80k and high km ones 35k-40k, even the NA's are around 20-25k i was lucky to get mine for 15k with no issues just minor imperfections in the repaint job and some what high km. But even then the ones that are beat to shit are still around the 6-10k mark

back end turbos lagging is not a result of the distance to the turbo. If you know how to do math you can prove this. Someone has on yt. it takes less than a second to send the air up and back to the engine.

Netgear is right about turboing the LS. If the chassis can barely handle an NA LS, there is no point in adding a turbo. You're just adding unnecessary complication and heat for no reason.
