Headlights look like they were meant to be pop-up, but aren't.

well its an ugly pigfat unreliable hard to work on piece of shit

>>15899164
That's why lamborghini used them on the diablo

had great performance for it's day and was as complicated as an exotic. So you have something that is as reliable as a 20 year old ferrari, possibly harder to work on, but at the end of the day is just a datsun.

>>15899117
Basically hard to work on but fun. Had all wheel steering with turbo so you can tackle mad turns at high speed. Interior feels like cockpit. Vg30 is reliable but good luck working in that engine bay

>>15899164
They looks like shitty aftermarket headlights meant for cars that originally had pop ups

>>15899819
pretty much this, after owning one I wouldn't buy another unless I could afford to pay someone else to fix it when it breaks

>>15899143
Fuck you in the face. You moist nigger.

>>15899117
As an owner, yeah they're tough to work on and are tight in the engine bay but with enough patience and time, not to mention money and proper tools its not as bad as a lot of people make them out to be. Just do a lot of homework, you'll be fine.

I love my Z32 and wouldn't trade it for anything.

My friend bought one with low miles that a rich guy owned.

Something keeps breaking in it, he won't tell us what but it's been in the shop at least 3 times since 2013. Lately, something fuck ups in his car when the turbos exceed 1 psi or something like that

No fuel cut defender maybe? Some jap cars will need one to run more than 1 bar for a few seconds.

>>15899983

why the fuck hide it? do people do this? is he embarrassed?

>>15899991
>Sleep tight, little Datsun

>>15899991
I would do a flip up swap just because this looks so much better

>>15899991
I never realized how much better a 300zx looks with pop ups
What was Nissan thinking when they designed it?

>>15899117
>quad cam
>3500 lbs
>cost to maintain out the ass

Could've had a V8 vette . . . or mark 4 Supra

>>15901377
>What was Nissan thinking when they designed it?

safety . . it's always for safety

>>15901365
probably a lot easier said than done unfortunately

>>15899991
I think the stock headlights look amazing but this actually looks just as good. Surprising.

>>15901401
Find me one of those for $6-8k

>>15901600
With the cost of owning a twin turbo z, you're better off just saving for either of the cars he mentioned

>>15901609
What is this cost you're talking about? Parts cost the same as any other Japanese car.

>>15901600
>he thinks because something is cheap it stays cheap

You will pay out the ass for this Z, more than the other two.

Vettes are cheap and if you want a supra wait 2 years and import one.

>>15901554
Just like anything on the 300zx.

>>15901401
>complains about weight
>says to buy c5 or supra
HAHAHAHAHHA
>supra turbo 3,400lb
>c5 3,300lb
>z32 turbo 3,300 lb
This is why you never listen to faggots on /o/.
>>15899117
Can make 550whp with basic upgrades and e85. Reliable once you get a nistune and upgraded oil pan. Handles well. Not the hardest car to work on but not easy. Can be expensive to maintain like ANY 90's jap. sports car that is now 27 years old. Source: I've owned a ton of them.

>>15899117
Imagine the most cramped engine bay you can. Now imagine it's even more cramped.

>>15901711
What do you people think needs to be regularly accessed on the side of the engine? Boost and fuel lines are easy to reach. Everything on top and front is easy to reach. The only thing that's harder to get to is the turbos, and those aren't even that bad once you drop the DP.

>>15901685
>HAHAHAHAHHA

I don't care for any of 3, but the Nissan will in fact be the more expensive to operate vehicle.

Z32 turbo with Hicas is 3500lbs +

>>15901721
Are you saying it isn't a cramped engine bay?

>>15901724
It is not. You're talking about the convertible and the horrible 1996 model. The 2+0 is 3,300 Pic is a VERT with a TT swap and full interior, a/c etc.

>>15901740
I'm saying what does it matter? What does it stop you from working on that is so much easier on other performance cars?

>>15901652
Again, please list the maintenance items on the Z that will make a $7k car cost as much as a $25k car within two years. $18k worth of repairs that will not have to be done on the Supra or the Vette. Go on, I'll wait.

>>15901833
There won't be. Our shop can build you a 800whp Z for that price. With almost all completely new parts.

>>15901791
The fact that you need the hands of a small child to do anything, otherwise half the engine needs to come apart for simple maintenance items

>>15901840
>talking out of his ass
I work on them almost every day for work. This is completely incorrect.

>>15901833
>$25k

>what is vette
>what is import

You've obviously done little research on the Z so buy it. Your ignorance will be bliss for a short while, I assure you.

>>15901860
A supra will still cost 25k, imported or not
Please answer anons question about all the expensive maintenance items pls

>>15901860
>thinks he'll import a mkIV for less than $25k
>thinks a non z06 corvette with worth a shit
Poor people are hillarious.

>>15901860
You are avoiding the question. Let's say it's $20k. Or we live in the future where you can import Supras legally (the price won't go down, just like being able to import z32s hasn't driven their price down any). My question still stands.

>>15901848
> Get payed to work on them
> Can charge out the ass for hours because of their inherently poor design
I wonder who could be behind this

>>15899991
look a bit like a bigger sw20 from the front

>>15901944
Do you even know the labor hours for 90's jap cars and eurobeats? The 300zx is basically on par with its competition. And the corvette falls apart like lincoln logs.

nobody said anything about corvettes

>mfw I have small tiny bitch hands
Should I get the z31 then lads? I assume cramped bay shouldn't be so bad, it's not like I'll be doing major stuff. Looking to get an NA version anyway.

>>15901554
imagine finding underhood room for popups

>>15902680
The NA Z32 has a lot more room to work with than the TT. I guess that's not saying much, but it is roomier for a beginner to wrenching.

>>15903015
What about the z31?

>>15903087
No personal experience with those. They are pretty cool too though. You'll definitely want a turbo one, IMO.

>>15903094
I'm pretty young so if I can pick up an NA, then I might not get *as* fucked on insurance. I figure something slow is fine to learn on (going into college) and I can get a new car later or turbo it myself. How much hp does the stock NA make again?

>>15901685
Who said c5?

>>15900162
I think it's his driving habits combined with it being a 20 year old nissan. He really does take good care of the car but his driving habits aren't helping whatever is 20 years old and needs replacing.
