A good thing to read would be the everything you need to know about a Z32 sticky which is at the top of the page on the general forum or here is the link: everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-z32-t508376.html Any leaking oil, running rough, do a compression check, frame good?, rust?, mileage, price, records of timing belt and other procedures, etc. Also these cars are like girl friends, some run good forever with little to no issues and others are breaking down every other month and so on. Just do your research and know what your getting into before hand. Also Welcom to NICO!

not a problem, when you find one its not a bad idea to post it on here and let us "look" it over, but usually if you do the above when you find the right one you know.

I was the same way. I wanted a 300gt so much until i drove past z1 motorsports parking lot. Complete game changer. Now i bought 2 z's within a year and a half. Thats how addicting they are

Lol, funny story, I actually just changed my info from "Smyrna, TN, Stationed in Lemoore, CA" to "Ardmore, TN." There's actually quite a few people on here from down south. But not to further derail this thread, let's stop at that.

OP, when you find a couple, post the links to the cars up here and we're usually pretty good judges of how well maintained a car is, as long as it's got decent pictures (especially engine bay shots.)
