What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 1983 Nissan 300ZX, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
CAR RAN FLAWLESSLY UNTIL RECALL PERFORMED ON FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. AFTER RECALL, CAR WOULD NOT IDLE. RETURNED TO DEALER AND REPLACED PARTS. CAR STILL DID NOT PERFORM WELL. TOOK BACK TO DEALER THAT PERFORMED RECALL AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. CAR DOES NOT IDLE WELL AND WILL NOT RUN OVER 3-5 MILES WITHOUT STALLING OR QUITING ENTIRELY. NISSAN WAS WROTE, BUT NO RESPONSE WAS GIVEN TO CUSTOMER. CAR SITS AND ONLY IS DRIVEN ON OCCASSION SO NOT TO ENDANGER OTHERS.
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
