Well i never actually saw any in real life. I have seen a couple for sale in the US on eBay
there are a few "real" VIIs here but they were shipped. there are quite a bit of VIIIs with full VII conversions that are out there though.

you've obviously never worked on a 300zx, extremely complicated cars, with coils pack firing and absolutely NO SPACE in the engine bay. I charged a customer 220 for a valve cover gasket job, which he gladly paid becuase he said it was the cheapest offer he's gotten. I dont reccomend that car to anyone.

Heavy, expensive, and fairly slow, unless it's the turbo edition, and even then its not impressive. stick with a newer model of the 240sx. Maybe a 97/98, the koukies with shark head lights look nice.

just a suggestion

i'd go w/ a 240 w/ an s14 or 15 conversion... there is a SICK NASTY300zx fairlady (twin turbo'd) down here , black, body kit, w/ BBS gold rims that is soooooo nice pushin about 400 last time i checked but he said he'd never do it again b/c it cost him sooooo much and took so much time b/c of the same problems that ComposeEvo menitoned. i've personally never seen an engine bay of one of them but i hear it's not pretty.

i was looking into getting a 300zx before also, and like compose said, they are a pain to work on. Thats what i had heard from alot of people, and what kinda turned me away from them
