Hello everyone. My brother is (as of yesterday) the proud new owner of a 96 j30. I would like to know as much about this car as you all are willing to offer. I have searched the web and not come up with much. About all I know so far is that it is a 6 cylinder with FWD. I would like general impressions of the car and anything technical you can offer. Any problems to look out for? Strong points? Weak points? Anything at all. Thanks!

It's RWD.It shares it's chassis+ drivetrain with the famous Nissan300ZX sports car (non turbo).

It doesnt really have any weak points I can think of, but a lot of string points, but I will leave the fun of talking about those to the actual J30 owners, which are sure to chime in soon.

There not very many modifications available for the J30. A friend of mine ( Infiniti Service Manager) has three and is always looking for some kind of modification for it. There was one person who even put a 300ZX engine in a J30. Prices will be cheaper for the Nissan part so do some cross checking ....................................:thumbup

That's right, there aren't many mods available for the J but it does come equipped with the 300zx's VG30DE engine. No turbos, unfortunately.
