Opinions/Experience with Z31 300zx

370Ztune

I've had about 5 of them over the last 10 years, and they're great DD cars. Reliable engine and they're cheap makes them a good option for a cheap sports car. As mentioned, the suspension design isn't fantastic; the car handles well, but significant upgrades are tough.

Rust can be a big problem depending on where the car has been for its life. Anything in the engine bay is easily accessible, so repairs aren't too much of a headache. If the car has the digital dash package, expect problems with the dash failing.

As mentioned, get a turbo model if possible. Best option would be a 88-89 turbo model as they're easiest to find significant upgrades for like brakes etc. Since you're in Thailand, look for a 300ZR or 200ZR model from Japan since these have the most aftermarket following in Japan. The 200ZR has the RB20 from the Skyline in it, which allows it to either be upgraded or replaced with an RB25, which is a fantastic motor with lots of upgradeability.
