This is our 1989 Nissan 300ZX.  It was originally bought as a project car, to restore and show.  Since reality has set in, we are no longer planning on restoring the car to show quality.  It is being built to be a reliable, mechanically-sound driver's car.  I currently has about 163k miles.

It comes with a 3.0L 18 valve SOHC V6.  This is the non-turbo model, and it makes 165HP at 5300rpm and 186ft*lbs of torque at 4000rpm.  For the time, this was a high-tech car.  It came with automatic climate control with air conditioning, a tape player with 10-band equalizer, power windows, power door locks, a power seat, electronic port fuel-injection.  Also, 165HP in the 80s from a V6 is quite a bit of horsepower.

Several parts have been replaced, including the timing belt, water pump, all the fluids, clutch and transmission, and the shocks and struts.
