ball joints that are replacable for 75+shipping, but non the less most parts for the 3S'es aren't cheap, along with the other performance cars. Still seem cheaper than Nissan parts though

Yep, the 300zx TT is just as badly cramped as the 3S, no worse than the newer Civic SI, and thats a 4 banger!

Now for a car that had problems can we talk about the conquest/starions?

As for weight, no one talks about the supra as heavy, around 3500lb or more lbs, where the 3S/300ZX weight in at 3800lbs+. The RX-7 and the NSX were alot lighter than the rest of the pack.

Its would still be a great choice if he just wants something as a daily driver or a cruiser, alot of people like to beat on those cars and expecting something not to break would be retarded. I bought my stealth n/a as a cruiser, and hope someday to pick up a clean 1st gen stealth TT as a cruiser.

Dealers will only sell the whole control arm.

I'd pick up an RX-7 with a blown motor and swap an LS1 into it... MMMM Torquey reliable 300HP car that weighs in at 2700lbs

Nope, if i was to go that kind of route, 440 in a Stealth!!!! VR440 has done it and a few others
I still have videos of a few of them somewhere


Or a 360 in a 70's Datsun, or a 318 in a daytona

ill chime in with my .02 cents, i watch them get worked on daily, have driven them, and did some work on them, goodthing im not a tech at my job, i just cringe every time i see the engine bay when a tech is workin on them with a look of disguest, lol although good thing is the head tech/manager guy here knows them like the back of his hand and has dealerships and other shops calling from around the country calling for his expertise on that car when they cant figure it out, but yea dont mind driving them at work but to own one, never..
