Spotted this one just now in the parking lot of the restaurant we're going to :)

My aunt bought a Z31 and Z32 TT new in this color. Still has them and both have less than 100k. Garage kept too.. She's hard to get ahold of, but said she would sell them to me. Haven't spoken to her in months and she doesn't return calls. Last time I saw her I ambushed her with my oldest daughter. I doubt those cars are going anywhere and above all I want a relationship with her. Hasn't seen my toddler or home yet. Hasn't seen my wife in years.

Should I inherit the Zs the Z31 is going to be NA2T and the Z32 modernized with 500whp.

She said back in the day she drove the TT Supra for about a week, but kept the Z32!

One of the first games to feature the Nissan 300ZX Z32 as a choice of car, the original (not an updated version) Slipstream is being resurrected to play on modern consoles. I can't see the current generation of gamers being that excited about its pixelated graphics and dodgy gameplay, but it might bring back nostalgic memories for us oldies.

The Out Run-inspired indie racer will release on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch on April 7.​

I'm having an issue with dead cylinder behavior on cold engine.

I've just had two large dealers in Tampa tell me they've stopped service on this car due to parts availability and lack of sufficiently trained mechanics.

So, it looks like I have to find a Z specialist in Tampa - anyone have any recommendations?

Can't say I recommend them, but maybe give them a shout? http://www.zfever.com

Reviews are promising, too - https://goo.gl/maps/XNnBaNkdJjWiPdfC8

My shop in Longwood (Avi at ZTech) also recommended him. So, I dropped by today to check out the place. It's a force of nature. Wall to wall Nissan inside and out.

I caught Doug, the owner, at lunch and he was gracious enough to answer a few questions I've had for awhile regarding future upgrades. Very sound advice, and I'll be going back.

In the meantime, I had a local auto electric tech change out the connectors on the newly installed PTU. Excellent job and just what I needed.

Awesome! Yeah, I read a few of the reviews and the place sounds cool as heck. Happy to hear it.

Cool article - Time Machine Test Drive: 1996 300ZX Twin-Turbo

300ZX turbo still rocks!

I had one exactly like this but with over 100k miles that I bought used 7 or 8 years ago. I loved that car but being 21 years old at the time something was always broken and there was only one mechanic at the dealer who knew how to work on it. Driving it with the t tops off was so much fun. I wish the new one would at least offer a sunroof. That’s part of the reason I gave up and bought a Miata RF. The open top experience with the t tops off was so much fun.
