Common Nissan 300zx problems
Based on complaints from owners of the Nissan 300ZX, several common problems have been reported:
- Electrical Issues: Owners have reported problems with the car's electronics, particularly wiring harnesses and electronic control modules (ECMs). The wiring harnesses are prone to degradation over time, causing issues with electrical systems like headlights and dashboard lights.
- Fuel System Problems: The fuel system, including fuel injectors and fuel pump, is another area of concern for 300ZX owners.
- Suspension Issues: The Nissan 300ZX has been known to experience problems with its suspension system, including worn-out bushings, struts, and sway bars. These issues can lead to a harsh ride quality and decreased handling performance.
- Body and Paint Concerns: Reports of rust and fading paint are common among older Nissan 300ZX models, indicating potential issues with the body and paintwork. This can affect the aesthetics and overall condition of the vehicle.
- Rough Idling and Stalling: Engine performance problems like rough idling and stalling have been highlighted by owners of the Nissan 300ZX.
- Exhaust Manifold Warping: The exhaust manifold in the Nissan 300ZX is prone to warping, which can lead to the studs breaking off between the cylinder heads and the manifold. This issue can result in noticeable noises, especially when the engine is cold.
- Leaking T-Tops: For models equipped with T-Tops, leaks are a common problem, often attributed to dried-out rubber seals. Proper maintenance of the T-Tops and attention to the condition of the seals are essential to prevent leaks.
These common problems reported by Nissan 300ZX owners highlight various areas of concern, ranging from engine performance issues to electrical and body-related problems. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are crucial to addressing these issues and ensuring the longevity of the vehicle.
Is the Nissan 300ZX reliable?
All 300ZXs are over 20 years of age now, and suffer reliability issues associated with old cars. Coupled with the fact they're renowned for being difficult to work on thanks to a cramped engine bay packed with complex wiring and plumbing, means they are not for novice mechanics.
Why not to buy a 300ZX?
Even the non-turbo models number two the wiring harness often goes bad number three the vtc. Rattle the vg30de.
Is a 300ZX expensive to maintain?
Nissan 300ZX Repair & Maintenance Costs. The annual maintenance cost of a Nissan 300ZX is $471. Repair and maintenance costs vary depending on age, mileage, location and shop.
How long do 300ZX last?
with proper care, these cars can go forever (well, about 300k miles). People on twinturbo.net have reported more than 250k miles on their cars, some even with turbos! 112,000 on a 91 N/A...... Still going strong, although I have hit some major maintenance bumps.

- Date Of Incident: 2017-03-08
- Date Complaint: 2017-04-13
- VIN: JN1HZ16SXKX
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: I AM THE OWNER OF A 1989 300ZX THAT I PURCHASED USED IN 2013. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 160,000 MILES ON IT. APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS AGO, I NOTICED A FUEL ODOR AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH DETERMINED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE IN 1996 FOR DEFECTIVE FUEL INJECTORS. THAT RECALL IS ATTACHED, I ALSO HAVE COPIES OF THE TSBS (10 DOCUMENTS TOTAL). A FEW DAYS AFTER NOTICING THE FUEL SMELL (WHICH I COULD NOT LOCATE THE SOURCE) THE CAR SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A FUEL RICH CONDITION AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO IDLE POORLY. FOR BACKGROUND, THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AND AFTER LEAVING A RESTAURANT, THE ISSUE APPEARED SUDDENLY. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THE RECALL OR ANY REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER (DICK SMITH IN COLUMBIA SC) AND THEY TELL ME THE SAME. THEIR DIAGNOSIS IS THAT MY RACK AND PINION ARE LEAKING. I DO NOT DISAGREE WITH THEIR DIAGNOSIS, BUT I DOUBT IT IS LEAKING FUEL. BASED ON THEIR TSB, IT APPEARS THAT THE REPAIR WORK WAS NEVER PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE AND SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS AFTER THE BUILD DATE, THAT OWNER AND SUBSEQUENT OWNERS WERE LIKELY NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO PERFORM THE RECALL WORK PER THE TSB INSTRUCTIONS BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE REFUSED.

Nissan 300zx 1985
- Date Of Incident: 2015-07-13
- Date Complaint: 2015-07-13
- VIN: JN1HZ16S5FX
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I WAS TOLD THERE HAD BEEN A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE 1985 NISSAN 300ZX, SO I TRIED TO LOOK IT UP ONLINE WITHOUT SUCCESS, AND THEN CALLED NISSAN TO FIND OUT IF THE REPAIRS HAD EVER BEEN DONE, SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND HAVE NO REPAIR RECORDS. THEY SAID IF THE VEHICLE WAS MORE THAN 11 YEARS OLD, THEY "DE-ARCHIVE" THE DATA FROM THEIR DATABASE, AND THEREFORE MY VIN WILL NOT COME UP IN THEIR RECORDS. THEY SAID IT HAS NO "ACTIVE RECALLS" ON IT, BUT COULDN'T TELL ME IF THE REPAIRS FROM THE 2 RECALLS ON THAT MODEL HAD EVER BEEN DONE. IS THERE ANY WAY FOR ME TO FIND OUT IF THOSE REPAIRS WERE EVER DONE? I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW, NOT KNOWING IF IT IS SAFE OR NOT, AND NISSAN WON'T HELP. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY POOR WAY OF OPERATING. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS LEGAL FOR THEM TO LOSE RECORDS ON CARS THEY HAVE RECALLED. THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE.

Nissan 300zx 1990
- Date Of Incident: 2009-01-30
- Date Complaint: 2009-12-21
- Components: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,EQUIPMENT
- Summary: IN DECEMBER 2008 I BOUGHT A WATER PUMP FOR MY 1990 NISSAN 300ZX FROM ADVANCE AUTO PARTS IN MAULDIN, SC. IT FAILED WITHIN FOUR WEEKS, CAUSING MY ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. I HANDED THE DEFECTIVE PUMP BACK TO THE STORE PERSONNEL. A WEEP HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE PUMP WAS SPURTING OUT WATER, AND THE SPINNING PART WAS CHEWED UP. THE STORE PERSONNEL TOLD ME THE PUMP WAS VISIBLE DEFECTIVE. THE STORE GAVE ME A RECEIPT FOR A REPLACEMENT PUMP, WHICH I PICKED UP FROM AN ADVANCE AUTO STORE/PARTS WAREHOUSE IN SPARTANBURG, SC. WITHIN THREE WEEKS THAT PART FAILED, MY ENGINE OVERHEATED, AND WAS DESTROYED. INCREDIBLY, THE STORE AND THE REGIONAL MANAGER TOLD ME THEIR SYSTEM HAD LOST THE FIRST PUMP, WHICH THEY HAD SENT BACK TO A REGIONAL PARTS RETURN WAREHOUSE IN GEORGIA. THEY WANTED THE SECOND PUMP, BUT COULD NOT GIVE ME A NAME, POSITION, OR DEPARTMENT THAT WOULD ACTUALLY RECEIVE THE PUMP, OR A TRACKING NUMBER OR METHOD. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE PUMP FAILURES HAD NOT PUT ME IN A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION ON A HIGHWAY MEDIAN, OR FAILED ME DURING A FREEZING RAINSTORM. UNFORTUNATELY, THE TWO FAILURES DESTROYED MY CAR ENGINE. I WAS SHOCKED THAT NO TECHNICAL INVESTIGATION HAD BEEN DONE OF THE FIRST PART, NO DOCUMENT HOLD HAD BEEN ISSUED, AND THEY SEEMED UNCONCERNED ABOUT THEIR INABILITY TO TRACK DEFECTIVE PARTS WHICH HAD BEEN RETURNED TO THEM. IN FACT THE STORE MANAGER, AND REGIONAL MANAGER, DID NOT SEEM TO TAKE SERIOUSLY THE FAILURE OF TWO PUMPS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WEEKS APART. I EXPECT A COMPANY TO STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCTS, AND TO TAKE THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC SERIOUSLY. *TR

Congratulations on your purchase! It's great to hear that you found a mechanically sound car with a color and transmission that you like. Even better, it sounds like the previous owner took good care of it. While it may not be as powerful as a turbo, it still has great driveability and reliability. It's impressive that you've had the car for almost three years with minimal issues, which is a testament to your dedication to maintenance. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us!

I purchased this vehicle from an individual with 160,000 miles on it. Although it was initially fast, I encountered several issues with it, including a faulty knock sensor that was retarding the timing, which cost me $700 to replace. Additionally, I experienced problems with the sensors, pulleys, and transmission. Despite its attractive appearance and fun T-tops, my overall experience with this vehicle was unsatisfactory.

This is my toy and I absolutely love everything about my Z. I have done quite a bit of research and the amount of effort that went into designing and building these cars is truly awesome.
Are you having problems with your Nissan 300zx?

I purchased this car used from a gentleman in March of 2008 and I absolutely loved it. Out of all the cars I have driven, this one is the most fun to drive, mostly due to the manual transmission. Unfortunately, three months later, the clutch went out, partially due to my inexperience with driving stick on this car. I don't believe the clutch had ever been replaced before. After replacing it, the car wouldn't start two weeks later. I assumed it was just due to the age of the car, but it happened again three or four months later and I had to replace it once again. Interestingly, at a car show, I met someone who knew the previous owner and they mentioned that he used it as a project car. I suspect that may be one reason why the car always needed repairs.

Buyer Beware // Hey there! Just wanted to give you a heads up that this car might require some costly repairs down the line. It's always a good idea to do your research and find out what the maintenance costs are like before making a purchase. Once it hits 130K miles, you might need to invest some money to keep it running smoothly.
