Message At this point these cars are oooollllldd.... low milage doesn't mean mint, it means oooolllddd. restored/well maintained is really the name of the game.

You absolutely want a TT. An NA is pointless. If you want it stock, you should expect to drop about 5k on the basic mods.

In 2015 basic mods include:
Intake/turbo back exhaust/ecu tune needed + electronic boost controller is nice to have.
Fresh suspension if it doesn't already have it. (powertrix on the low end, KW if you have a bigger budget), if you want to lower the car you will absolutely need adjustable suspension. if you want it closeish to factory ride height the 300degree camber kit works well enough.
and honestly a brake upgrade of some sort is almost mandatory.

~5k is a lot you say? Well you could quite easily find one with all this already done, which i would recommend, if you don't get excited about doing this stuff your self.

How to have a good time with your 300zx:
Don't buy from AMS because it's shoddily "designed", cheaply made
knockoff garbage.
Ash makes good stuff, but don't buy from straight from ASH if you
can't deal with him going MIA. Buy his stuff from SpecialtyZ.
Don't put injectors in that aren't 95+ style Nismo or Injector dynamics
Do your timing belt when you are supposed to with oem stuff.
If a wheel doesn't proudly declare where it's made, you shouldn't be
putting it on a 300zx, and if ebay is the best place to get it, that's
concerning. Yes, I am talking
about those XXR's.
Don't put on a FMIC that isn't Tom's. That ebay "apollo style" one
causes a ton of lag and lost horsepower.

Check my classifieds. My Z is for sale.
