Great to find this place, and I'm looking forward to absorbing everything about the new car. It's my next purchase.

I've owned an '87 (white with red leather), and I currently own a '95 N/A. I'm the second owner on the '95 and it boasts original paint and interior. I added an aftermarket clone rear spoiler and a Stillen front spoiler, and replaced the Bose system with new speakers and touch screen receiver.

I was a Nissan salesman when the 300ZX came out and I knew everything about the car and it's main competitors. Back in that day, Nissan ruled the track and I got to go to Sebring to see Geoff Brabham and company race the ZX.

In the past, I drove a Toyota MR2 Spyder (3 over 14 years) and I fully restored a 1970 MGB. I autocrossed the Spyder and won the Florida State SCCA Championship in the CSP class in 2004.

Welcome to the forum @Donalex! Your Z32 looks in great condition, how long have you owned it for? What do you think of the new Z so far?

I've had it for about 2.5 years. The previous owner was older and it was garaged. The first two years the car spent was as a Nissan factory rep vehicle.

I did a complete mechanical restoration on it with seals, bushings, brakes, bearings, struts, injectors, EGR bypass, and filters. The tranny had the common 2nd and 3rd soft synchros so I replaced it with a 96+ JDM unit from Z1.

The new Z is growing on me. I'm not excited about the 370 interior, especially the infotainment screen. I like my simple and efficient cockpit. I hope the whale's mouth in the front becomes less of a black blob, but that seems to be the style today.

I'm sorta leaning to buying the new car. My '95 looks and drives as new, but I would like more power. I've added K&N filters and full synthetic oil over the past few months and next week a Billy Boat exhaust. That's as far as I want to go.

Welcome to the forum @Donalex ! That's quite the collection of cars.

That must have been a wicked time seeing the ZX cars race at Sebring.

If you end up getting the new car I imagine you'll keep the ZX as well?

Nope. By then, it'll be time to move on.
