300zx: be ready to drop 10k on the car on top of what you paid for it. honestly if you really want a 300zx try and find a really good chassis and assume the motor is shot. don't expect to get much life out of the stock motor in a 100k+ mile factory twin turbo, especially since you'll want to mod it that will only decrease its life.

supra... you'll pay a huge premium to get a supra... best bet would prolly be get an NA and buy a 2jz and do a swap.... a good alternative is getting a lexus sc300 and doing a 2jz swap. a factory TT supra will probably cost you more than those ferrari's you were thinking of.

if you are willing to spend some cash and know you are going to put the car under the knife, do a proper 240sx build.... get a clean chassis, put in an sr20 or an rb25/26, s14 kouki front end. Would be a fun car. a lot of them end up looking like crap because people dont want to put the money into them they need. but dont bother getting one if you are just going to keep the KA motor because it's slow as sh1T.
