Check for regular servicing especially oil changes,
Accident damage on front and quarters,
Irregular front tyre wear,
My personal favourite: Check turbo isn't blowing from cracked intercooler(Front N/S wing)/manifold/gaskets.
Check out http://300zx.co.uk/200sxUBB/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro for more info.

Good luck. Had one before my scooby and it gave me nothing but headaches. I've been through 3 turbos and had to buy a whole subframe because my rear suspension bushes were slightly worn. You can't replace the bushes.
Oh yeah but it was a fun little car, especially when it rains. You can have loads of oversteer and damn its fun.
