(1986 - Stage III)
I sold my Z on Friday May 12, 2000.
These pictures take a bitch of a time to download, but they're pretty nice. Try downloading them while you're doing something else, otherwise, it'll drive you nuts. If anyone knows how to speed it up, let me know how. Thanks.

What you can expect:
Very fast and comfortable. Faster than 5.0L mustangs, supras, vettes, and other speed demons. The fact that it's not as heavy as a lot of other cars also helps. For example, i raced my friend's '90 5.0L LX mustang and i had it set at ~11psi and by 3rd gear I had him beat by at least 10 car lengths.
Here's what I didn't know about ZX's when I bought mine:
I didn't know that there are Z clubs all over the world. Last summer, I participated in a Z Club car show and I couldn't believe the loyalty to these cars. People drove in from B.C. to Edmonton for that event. Also, if you join the Edmonton Z Club, you get 25% off on parts at Ericksen Nissan in Edmonton.
There's also a message board on the net for owners of the 1984-1989 ZXs as well as for the owners of the ZXs after 1989.
Click here for the message board (www.z31.com). You'll be surprised. You can ask any Z question and these guys will answer it usually right away.
If you're wondering what Z31 means, the ZXs from 1984-1989 (like mine) are called Z31s, and the ZXs from 1990 and on are called Z32s.
Click here for the list of Z Clubs across Canada and the States. - type 'z' in the 1st "include these" box and then click search.
Check out these sites for Z owners that have nice Zs:
Al's 87 300ZX Turbo (here's a head-turning Z - go to the bottom of his page to link to more cool Z sites)
Danny's 88SE Turbo - it's a rocket (450 hp?)
Sloan's 84AE (anniversary edition)
