So i've been thinking about selling the celi again and getting a 300zx NA. The reason behind this is that I can get the 300zx for 3800 with the same amount of miles and it's RWD and has a V6. I like the way they look and I'll be saving a lot of money on car payments and such. Also they are a LOT faster than the celi.

Does anyone have any previous experience with these? Anything these are notorious for? Please NO FLAMING!!!!

I do love my car but I just want some change. I've owned a 6gc for about 3 years now and just want something else before my car is worth less than I paid for it.

Don't tell me to just Turbo/Do a swap either. That is out of the question for me.

Thank you all for the replies. I've realized that with how heavy the car is it won't be worth it. Also my insurance will skyrocket. At this point I'm starting to steer away from the 300zx. Your points you guys have made really help. I'm not too familiar with Nissan and am not sure how they compare to Toyota or Honda. I still have a lot of research to do before I make any decisions.
After a lot of thinking I'm unsure on what I should get if I get another car at all. Part of me wants to get something soon. Another part of me wants to just save my money and fix up my truck and buy a bike (I'm thinking a Shadow or V-Star, maybe a Harley if I can get a decent deal). I'm not sure what I'm going to do at this time.
Hell, I might just find another 6gc down the road for cheap and do a swap swap. Who knows? I just want to lose my car payment for a while.

Other vehicles that are intriguing to me is a 240sx/s14, maybe I'll import a JDM ITR like my friends, maybe I'll wait until the right deal comes on a car I like.
