reliability

hey,
I've been debating between a 3rd generation 300zx or a 3rd gen rx7 (both twin turbo). I know already that the 7 would probably smoke the z in any aspect on the track or the street, but i'm wondering about reliability. I've heard that rotary engines don't last long (kinda new to the rotary). Just seein what the majority of people who know what they're talkin about think.
Thanks

300z's tt are horrible my friend owns one... coils go bad, radiators bust, injectors go bad, turbos go bad real quick, just prblem after problem with them and if the transmissions go bad plan on buying one from factory the rebuilt ones dont last long or at all. my friend ordered his jdm motor from osaka motors and he installed it a month later more problems.

another friend owend one for 2 months he had so many problems with it (300zx tt) he gave it away just to not bother with all the problems.
