This was the car that made Toyota completely rethink the Supra and come up with the MkIV. The rumor mill said they were just going to do a refresh on the MkIII, but after seeing this car from Nissan, they knew they had to step up or lose big.

Thanks for posting this review, I am seriousy considring getting a 300zx turbo, or a turbo SC as my next fun car to mod. btw, anyone who likes a 350z over a 300zx twin turbo is crazy, they don't build them as good as they used to.

Fun car but a nightmare to work on and has a cooling system that belongs in a 1.3L I4. Brakes are terribly undersized, automatic transmissions frequently grenade, and driveshaft Ujoints wear out prematurely
But, if you can find a low-mileage manual 94-95 TT model and plan on leaving it stock (or just basic boltons), it can be a great car. I can think of plenty of other cars in that price range that I'd rather have though. My 1990 model was a huge hassle.
Fun car for a motorswap and all Nissan ECUs of that era have been hacked and are very easy to program.

I test drove a red 300ZX twin turbo around 93 and it was an AWESOME experience. G-R-E-A-T car!

What a classic! I loved this car. What's really impressive is that this car's performance on paper is very close to the 350z, even tho it's close to 20 years old!!! I know that cars are so much more expensive nowadays, but I have forgotten how much more we also get with the price.
