School me on the early 90s 300ZX TT cars
Are they reliable as daily drivers?
Hard to work on?
Expensive to maintain?
Common problems?
Blah blah blah.......

i had one, parts are expensive as hell (i.e. a clutch fan cost me close to $300) gas goes pretty fast with them, one of the most comfortable cars i have ever driven, but i had to work on it almost everyday to make sure it didnt over heat, coolant hoses would go constantly, fuel pump went twice, window motors were intermitten and worked when they felt like it, honestly, if the car has over 100,000 miles, forget about it, its not worth it

they were considered the perfect car in the early 90s. my friend has this website, and when i say it has everything you could ever wanna know about that car, i mean it. if you really want it, i can have him send it to me.
are they reliable?
no, they have many known trouble spots, require tons of maintenance, and parts are expensive
are they hard to work on?
yes, they are overengineered and have cramped engine bays. theres alot of moving parts in that car and its really a mess and i'm willing to bet alot of stuff will break
expensive to maintain?
oh my gosh yes
common problems?
each year had their own set because nissan really did change them alot from year to year. its all on that website my friend has if you still want. he really wanted one and he researched the crap out of that car and could probably telll you more about it then the nissan engineers who built it
ok i'm done
