[yudalicious]

NA Z.. slow, engine as far as I know is very crowded... doesn't really excel in any area... insurance is expensive... only up-side is that.. makes a good donor car for 240sxs?

Digital climate control adjusts the "digital climate" of the car, like radio, sounds, lights. Picture this, regular climate control adjusts the temperature and airflow. Well, digital climate control adjusts light, sound, etc. Hope that helps you make your decision.

the car is next to impossible to work on yourself and its

heavy, slow, eats 2much gas for nothing, and makes you worry if youll make it to your destination.

222hp, 18/24mpg, 3200lbs. They should run 15s, and actually handle very well.

However:
EXTREMELY COMPLICATED engines. 2 throttle bodies, 4 cams, etc. The engine is shoehorned into the engine bay. There's pretty much NO room to work on the engine. Minor stuff (oil change, spark plugs) is still easy...but anything beyond that, it's pretty much not worth it.

On the other hand, even naturally aspirated, they're pretty fun to drive. And you get a TON of stares, even in a stock one!

(BTW, I'm talking about the Z32 1990-1996 300ZX)

I have had a N/a and now i have a TT the TT is more impressive than the N/a with accel and speed but they both run strong as for working on the these pussys dont know how to work on cars learn how to do motors and you will be straight that is all i gotta say it looks hard but in the long run the same as any other car, but yeah both fun as hell to drive both quick and honestly if i were you i would try and get a tt cause you will regret getting an n/a in the longrun i promise you that

[Halfwit]

A) punctuation/grammar works wonders for getting your point across
B) Are you calling the CARS "pussys," or me?
C) I've been wrenching on Nissans and Mitsus for over 8 years, and have personally worked on 2 sr20 and 2 rb20 swaps, amoung other things. I think I can tell when a car is a pain in the ass, and I'm pretty sure I've tackled enough projects to not be considered an automotive "pussy"
D) "learn how to do motors" ....??? If your mechanical skill is half as good as your writing, you are probably a pro at lubing muffler bearings.

Scotts right...that is a big sentence. And of course TT is more impressive, it has 2 turbos...Motor has a few inches from every surrounding wall. So good luck...

I say go for it if you like it. You've gotten quite a bit of opinion so in the end it's going to come down to whether or not you would enjoy driving/experiencing the car. I've owned both and, in my opinion, both had their ups and downs. For example, the tt being obviously faster (300hp stock) but they're a bit more expensive and getting harder to come by in good condition and the n/a may be slower but you can still have just as much fun in them plus make them look just as good as a tt and they don't have to deal with HICAS (all-wheel steering) unless you get the stillen remover. I think z32s are awesome cars so if you end up getting it, it'll be like buying any other car.. a new experience. Good luck man.

No question it's tight under the hood but definitely not impossible. My bro-in-law has a '96 TT in Virginia he's selling for $12,000.00 that is cherry. It's plenty quick too.

Things to know:
Eliminating HICAS is a piece of cake. Part costs less than $250.00 but I definitely recommend getting rid of it.
None of the '96s are as good as the '95s due to Nissan knowing they were going to discontinue the car so they didn't spend alot of time or money on the OBDII change in '96. The '95s are faster.
Nissan is a sophisticated manufacturer so know what your doing if you decide to work on it yourself.

Regarding SpecV Scott's comments about grammar and punctuation, he spelled amoung which correctly spelled is among. lmao. I do agree Nissans and Mits are more complicated products so you should be prepared to pay dearly for service.

Good luck.
