I just love everything about it. Took a lot of work to get it, but it’s just fantastic. Especially now that warmer weather is coming and I can take the roof off 
I remember when Nissan was advertising between the intervals on Formula one championship on TV with a 300ZX during early 90`s. Amazing car.
Good luck with yours.
I’m not old enough to remember that unfortunately, though I have seen some great 300ZX ads on Youtube 
Thanks!
Very nice, is it a TT?
No, as a young driver I’m restricted to the N/A model. FYI, it’s a '90 N/A 2+2 targa 
Ahh, yeah, Insurance woes… I hate being young too, although I’m building up a nice no-claims discount and I’m 25 next year, which ought to knock it down another peg. That’s when I swap my 1.8 laguna for a 3.0 V6 with an LPG conversion.
Very tidy ride nonetheless 
Not insurance, my country and state has strict performance laws in place for young drivers. In short: no forced induction, no more than 6 cylinders, until you’re 22.
I can understand that restrictive law but it is a shame for younger`s not driving what they want.
My father had a Nissan Primera 1.6slx in 1990 and I dreamed with the 300ZX Biturbo, the grandson of the Datsun 240Z.
My grandfather drove since 1969 to 1989 a Datsun 1200 Deluxe 5 door. Than he switched for a brand new 1989 Renault 19 1.4 TSE witch is after 23 years my ride nowadays.
Regards.
It is a shame, but the NA 300ZX is plenty powerful. Most people my age don’t know much about driving, they’d only do damage in more powerful cars anyway.
Interesting list there Most of those cars were never sold in this country, I’m afraid!
That’s ridiculous… I mean, the net effect of the insurance industry in the UK is the same (although some of they insurance bands are less logical with respect to the performance of the car than others) but to say somebody who is young is necessarily going to be a more dangerous driver than somebody older is downright patronising. Thankfully I’m 24 with 6 years’ claim-free and offence-free driving experience behind me so it’s not so ridiculous now, but I still can’t reasonably afford to insure anything fast. Not that I’d particularly want to, except for track days (although my definition of of ‘fast’ might have been blurred somewhat thanks to a lot of time spent playing Gran Turismo and Forza )
There is some correlation between years spent driving and ability to control a car, but I’d say without doubt that I’m better than some of my unrestricted friends.
Too much Gran Turismo, and suddenly a 370Z looks slow
Love that last pic. Looks so clean with the roof off (I just love targa roofs). Also, looks like just the kind of area you should drive a Zed.
Sometimes I hope I crash my Zed, so I can go back to a Z31. I like them too much, but I couldn’t justify taking the backwards step
To be honest. I love my Z31 alot more than i ever had the feelings for the Z32.
The Z31 has more soul and is truely a fair lady.
You could be right there, but the performance is a bit dull isn’t it?
originally, yes. but everything is moddable.
with enchanced throttlebody, gutted manifold, upgraded exhaust. Im guessing it will be allright. I’m looking forward to try it within two weeks.
Well let me know then Either way, it’s still a pretty cumbersome and heavy car.
Not at all. My 2+2 Z32 weighed 1650kg and was a beast to handle properly when driving active.
The week i got to drive my Z31 before putting her in the garage to be properly healed i drove 500 km home. And got to feel her up a little.
She weighs 1350 kg and the difference between the z32 is huge.
Wow… The VG30 block must be pretty heavy! Even the Z31 is heavier than my ‘sensible family estate’!
I know the Z32 turbos are pretty heavy due to all the added electronics, HICAS, etc, but I’m surprised by the Z31…
Still, weight isn’t everything. There aren’t many daily driveable cars that will outdo an R35 GT-R on the track, yet it weighs 1740KG, despite the fact that the power to weight ratio is a good deal lower than most of its close competitors.
THIS! I can’t believe it, I’ve had a turbo V6 with ~300hp since I turned 17…I bought my first NA Z31 when I was 15, and at the age of 16 when I got my license I drove it (weak)…then I turbocharged it…insurance still thought it was NA though.

A VG30ET weighs about 380lbs…80lbs lighter than the old straight 6, the VG30DE(TT) in the Z32 is waaay heavier. You have to remember though, the Z31 was loaded with just as many electronics as the Z32, but lacked the HICAS…and Z31s are bigger than the compact sedans of the 80s…especially a 2+2, which is heavier than a 2+0…and despite size, the additional bracing added to improve chassis rigidity because of the t-tops adds weight too. A 84-85 Z31, 2+0, base model with t-tops which were standard (in the US, which still had power windows/locks etc) weighed about 2880lbs. “Slicktops” (no t-tops) weighed slightly less.
