And ALL 300ZXs had interference engines, so if the timing belt broke the odds of your valves bending was very high.
I guess it is all personal experience regarding reliability. My 300 never spent one night in the shop. Zero warranty work. The only major service I had was a one day, all day, $850 service. The 370 has already had eleven nights in the shop, with more warranty work coming, another rental. I can't belief I actually bought a Nissan. I wanted a 7th Nissan, its just that I seemed to have bought a Yugo compared to my 300 or other Datsun/Nissans.
