I Just turned 18 last september and I've been working on getting my first z and theres a 1991 slicktop for sale in my area and i had some questions like whats it worth? What are some of the diffences between the t-top and the slickback (besides the obvious) are they really more rare, what kind of issues i could expect later on from a z32

What sort of issues you'll face later on: Basically you can expect dinner dates with your girl friend to be a frozen pizza heated up at her mom's house for as long as you own the car ... you'll always be broke and evenings will be spent on this site looking for advise on how to fix it. Of course, 90% of the answers will be about looking for green corrosion on connectors. Beyond all that, get the slick top. No T-top leaks and you'll stand out in a crowd of Z's (not that there's ever been a crowd of them anywhere).

^exactly what he said^

Plan on spending lots of time and money on your car if you own a Z. Unless you buy one that someone has already gone through and has documentation.

^^^PERFECT!
Frozen pizzas/Top Ramen, green residue and vacuum hoses, tight spaces and busted knuckles, perfection of your curse word vocabulary and especially nasty words of endearment for Nissan engineers, and LOTS of NICO face time....yep!
