89 300zx(VG30ET)

1989 300xz. What can you guys tell me about this car? Im looking at one on sunday. Anything I should be looking for in particular? Its a twin seater, turbo.

if its not too rusty i would look for a finned cover on the diff, if you are lucky it has a CLSD, these are very hard to find and are worth like 800$ on ebay.

CLSD? How would I be able to tell, will it say on the diff?

he meant VLSD which is viscous limited slip differential. and its identifiable by the fins on the back of the diff.

no i meant CLSD.(Clutch LSD) only the 88 shiro had the viscous diff.
* 84-87 NA = 3.7:1 open
* 88-89 NA = 3.9:1 open
* 84-86 T = 3.54:1 open
* 87-89 T = 3.7:1 clutch LSD *
* 88SS = 3.7:1 viscous LSD

  • only 87 turbos made after 04/87 had LSD. Before this, they were open differentials. Canada supposedly didn’t get LSD until the 88 models.
