Previously owned a 1993 Nissan Z32 Twin Turbo.
Despite what you hear, they are not a nightmare to work on at all.
The nightmares you hear about relate to those that are purchased at the lower end of the market.
They were usually sold cheap with unrealistic low kilometres showing on the odometer.
It's a common occurrence for the speedo's to be wound back in Japan.
Being relatively cheap to purchase initially, they were attractive to the younger generation who were incapable of fixing the vehicle, therefore if something went wrong they had others do the work.
Usually these 'others' had little to no knowledge of these cars.
Of course the first thing the new owners wanted was more boost, which was very easy to accomplish.
What they didn't realise was the car they had just bought didn't really have 40,000k on the clock but closer to 350 or 400,000 + k's & what did they do?
Add boost!
A fair few of these new owners were on a limited budget & were flat out affording to put fuel in the tank, let alone do the proper maintenance.
Hence the reputation of overheating & mechanical problems evolved.

The most famous would undoubtedly be the JUN/Blitz Z32 that ran on the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1991 & set a speed record of 419.84 km/hr.
The record still stands today.
There are videos on youtube of the car making the passes.
Plus one of it being driven on the streets in Japan.
It was sold recently at auction.
