Redpill me on the 300 ZX

Is this a good car? Is the newer generation better? What modifications are typical to make it driftable?

Welded diff

Slow
Bad chassis
Bad electronics
Shit brakes
Shit interior
Shit suspension
Overall poor build quality
Bitch to work on
Gets btfo by every other manufacturer

Dont do it

You must be poor.

Get a real differential.

What other cars would you recommend? I want to get into drifting and really like cars from the 80s and 90s. Would like it to be Japanese.

But pretty much this. A limited slip differential and coilovers are all you'll need to drift.

save ur money breh

you want a miata. bonus, iron block so you can turbo it on the cheap.

Miata
Rx7
Mk2 supra
Old corollas
Old celicas
Volvos
Coronas

There are tons

that guy looks like he's taping it because a u-joint broke and he needs to nurse it off the trail.

What about a mk3 Supra tarbo if you have no interest in drifting?

Its a bit of a pain. Its a good touring car though.

Its not a bad car, but Z car "enthusiasts" treat it as the red headed step child of the bunch.
This is because it is the slowest and most grand tour oriented z car, and its not that sporty.

However, I love them because of the 80s AESTHETIC

Thanks for all the help, Veeky Forums I'm not used to getting actual good responses on this board

fuck I was looking at one and now im sad.

I kinda knew they weren't that great, but they were a bit cheaper than celica supras that I really really want.

guess I gotta save up more and to go for that 80s wedge look.

>88 bmw 315
The only 315 I know of is the E21 315

yeah, it was on the spot thinking.

I think mine is pretty fucking dank tho

Well yeah
Maybe
Not really (digital dash is pure sex go die in a fire)
Not really
The fuck are you talking about
For actual tracking yes, for daily driving it's comfy as fuck without being excessively floaty
Uh no
Uhhhhh no
No

God bless my fellow z31 cuck lords

Nice

The Z31 Turbo is slower than the Z32 NA, which is slow.

Slow

fucking benchracer scum.

...

this question is relatively off topic but does anyone know if the "deep red purple metallic" paint from the '96 Z is the same paint as the midnight purple on the R33 GTR?
they both have paint code LP2 and seem to look the same but there aren't a lot of pictures as it seems to have been a rare color

Every time

75% of those cars are overpriced or rare as fuck
