Faults:

Never owned a car 16 years old my first car I love them 2 problems with it since I've had it power steering pressure hose (190,000) and alternator (about 187,000) that's all I love these cars.

General Comments:

I love this car a lot, but it has some mechanical problems due to its age. I would recommend anybody to this car, and certainly a newer version of it.

Faults:

When I first bought the car, within a week it started having flaky problems. When trying to turn on the windshield wipers, the radio cut out, and the wipers did not work. Turned out to be a bad ignition (where the key goes in)!!! Cost me $250 and a lot of headaches to get fixed because of the intermittancy of the problem. Before I got rid of it less than 30,000 miles later, it had to have the starter, alternator, coolant hoses, a solenoid in the transmission all replaced, all costing $250 or more per repair. Brakes and tires had to be replaced as well during the time I owned it, and thanks to the 25,000 mile brake warranty I escaped having to have them done twice!! The prior owner apparently was overweight or the seat just was weak as it was collpsing in on itself, but still was reasonably comfortable.

General Comments:

I sold the car because within 2 weeks of a $300 coolant hose replacement, I went out and turned the key - and got nothing. No noise, not even a click. I was so seriously unhappy with this car I sold it for parts to a mechanic who hauled it off. Recently, I have been looking for a car, and there are many here in the Portland Oregon area for sale for $600 or less. In my mind, $600 is a gamble for one if it runs, because the constant need for repairs will put the owner in the poorhouse.

Faults:

Most of the problems were a result from improper repair after an accident. For instance AC died, cruise control stopped working, and a few other things seemed to short out after a short time frame after I left the city in which the repairs were done. I wish I would have had the dealership fix it instead of a mom and pop shop.

Water pumper needed to be replaced after 100,000.

The remaining repairs have been due to age. A few hoses that needed to be replaced and of course typical general maintenance stuff.

General Comments:

I have received numerous compliments over the years on its style alone. Even today it still has a sporty look.

Even at 190,000 it still has great power and acceleration.

Overall: Very good reliability, performance, style and is inexpensive to maintain.

Faults:

I have had my Z24 for one year now, and I have had only a few problems. They are water pump, heater core, starter, clutch, rotors, brake pads, a few hoses, and I have also thrashed two motors.

The first one, had 160,000km on it. I was racing, when I blew the first one. The cam shaft went, along with my crank.

The second motor, I raced a 2001 Ford Mustang GT. It had around 250hp. I ran a 75hp shot of nitrous oxide, but forgot to change the fuel jet, and ran a 50hp shot. I ran too much nitrous oxide, and not enough fuel. I ended up melting one of my pistons.

General Comments:

These cars are really good for their torque and the power they have when they are stock.

I have added a KN performance air filter, Ractive exaust, NOS kit, FRD racing rims, and an after market yach. By the time that I am done, which will be after winter, I will be pushing over 350hp.
