Hello,

 

I should be looking to sell my convertible soon and buy my first 300zx. I am looking at getting an imported NA manual. What are the performance figures on these from you owners?

 

I have read the stats are about 230 bhp, and 7 0-60 time. But how do you guys who have bought the car and drive it feel? Is it slow is it a let down or a dissapointment?

 

I would like a TT but i dont think i could justify - or afford the petrol costs from a 12mpg car lol... however i did notice insurance wise that a TT would cost me a bit LESS to insure then a na! (TT being a UK model)..

 

Cheers for your help

An import NA will probably cost as much to insure as a UK TT maybe more. Insurers dont seem to discriminate much between the NA and TT and load it simply because its an import. And while the consumption on the TT can be bad I have never had mine as low as 12mpg. Worst was 16 in mid winter and more like 20 in summer. 26/7 best on long fast motorway.

Petrol cost might be significant but its not the B all. Maintenance and repairs can be a real killer if you have no clue about mechanics because when something goes wrong on one of these its often expensive unless you can sort it yourself.

Hmm,

 

I don't have a clue mechanically can you give any examples of the costs?

with costs the best piece of advice will be dont buy the first one you see and if poss buy from someone on the forum i didnt and three weeks after buying had to replace the g/box cost £1800 for se nistek upgraded box :bow:
