i wonder how much a 300zx wouldv cost brand new back in the day?

IM sure they were 37K in brittain and im sure there was an option list that brought it over the 40k Im sure someone will come along with the right answer

thought they were 35 new

I'm sure it was the price was one of the contributing factors why nissan stopped selling the 300zx here

thought they were 35 new

 

Yes i believed about the same, something like £34,695 but after a wee while done a price drop of around 1-2K or sumitt.

 

Official prices have been posted on here before many years back, poss in the old forum below this one.

can you scan it and put it on the forum Ian? always wanted to see one and asked before but no joy.

they may have lost alot of money over the years but no way as bad as jags have ,,my mate next door got a 40 grand jag in its day in 94 he payed 1300 last year V8 one to

in perfect condition

thats like my mate he just bought an 06 plate special edition RX8 for 5k now some one took a serious kck in the jewels with that

I said to him that his 5k wouldnt buy some of the zeds or even an RX7

The prices went down towards the end of their UK production as Nissan tried to shift them out of the showrooms; hence they represented good value in the day when compared to the Mk4 Soop, Mitsi 3000GT and Pork 968.

 

I have the WhatCar magazine article pitting them against each other, when the Soop came on the market - it was the October 1993 edition.

 

The 300zx weighed in at £33,230 with leather and CD; compared to the Soop at £37,500; 3000GT at £38,329 and Pork 968 at £36,722 (no extras in that price!)

 

Performance stats as tested by WhatCar (if you're interested) were:

 

0-60: 300zx = 5.6; 3000GT = 5.8; Supra = 5.1; Porsche = 6.1

 

0-100: 300zx = 14.5; 3000gt = 16.1; Supra = 12.3; Porsche = 15.7

 

All top out at between 153 & 155mph; with only the ZX and Supra being limited.

 

Hope that helps.....

Could you imagin the kind of car we could build for the amount these cost Brand new!!!

that supras quick to 100. would pee on a zed then stock for stock.

That was the UK spec car - which was officially rated at 326bhp remember!!

Yeah cheating buggers lol!!!! If only the zed came out the same time as the supra it would of been blown away.

Runs 11psi stock, instead of 9. They set it higher from factory to make sure it beat the 300zx.

 

Run the Z on 11psi and then your looking at similar numbers.

can they not whack there boost up a little again though?

Yup - the 300zx was the car which sent Toyota's engineers back to the drawing board to re-design the new Supra. The Z32 was a tough act to beat, which was why the Mk4 Supra didn't finally appear on the market until late 2003 - when the ZX was in it's final months on sale here....

 

Richard:cool3:

nissin set out to prduce a world beating sports car and they did,with the z32,it was regocnized through out the motoring press all over the world as the best sports car against all of the opposition at the time

I remember being offered 2k deposit on my skateboard at the Datsun dealership in stafford

as the dealer said he was struggling to sell.
