Once upon a time, I bought a '85 Turbo Z and it turned into an electrical and mechanical nightmare that could not be resurrected from the dead (Thankfully, I ONLY paid $300.00 for it). I'd be inclined to say avoid it, but maybe the owner you're dealing with took better care of his than the eBay schmuck I dealt with. Here's something I found that may be helpful...Good Luck: http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/cars-trucks/1985-nissan-300zx-turbo-running-rough-241659.html
