Up for sale is my
1991 Nissan 300ZX Twin-Turbo. I've really enjoyed driving this car, and it never fails to put a smile on my face when driving it.
However, I've decided I want to move on to something a little lighter
and I've come to the hard decision to sell it. When I originally
purchased the car it had a number of issues including: a poor idle, rotting rubber tubes and a quickly degrading wiring harness. Since
then, a ton of components have been replaced with new parts.
The car drives
really well (much better than when I purchased it), it idles nicely
at 800 rpm when warmed up and really pulls hard. This is a very fast
car. The majority of work I've had done on the car has been replacing
old components and parts and replacing other parts with better
aftermarket parts. The car is tastefully modded, and while quite fast
is easily drivable to work or in traffic. Only name-brand parts have
been put in this car and I haven't put any eBay garbage in the car.
No expense has been spared. All parts in the car should have around
5, 000 miles on them and are practically new.
The following is a
list of aftermarket parts put into the car:
JWT Pop-Chargers x2
Selin Dual-MAF Translator and Elbow Kit
AshSpec Massives Intercoolers
AshSpec 2.5” Intercooler Piping
NISMO/Tomei 740cc Fuel Injectors
SpecialtyZ ECU Tune
Greddy Profec EBC @ 14psi
MSP Exhaust Manifolds
SpecialtyZ 3” Downpipes
SpecialtyZ 3” High-Flow Cats
SpecialtyZ 3” Cat-Back
SpecialtyZ Sport Street Clutch
My goal in modifying
the car was to have a Z that performed better than the original, while still staying true to the spirit and feeling of the original
car. Anyone who knows these cars will know that I have high-quality
parts in the car, and have a ton of money invested in parts alone
(not to mention labor). With upgraded cams and turbos this should
easily be a 500+ whp car on pump-gas. This is the perfect Z for
someone wanting to upgrade turbos, since everything has already been
done to support larger turbos.
About 2, 000 miles
ago the alternator died and I had a number of items replaced, including the timing-belt and wiring-harness to name a few. Below is
a list of new parts in the car:
Alternator
Transmission Harness
Detonation Sensor
Late-Style Wiring Harness
Upper Plenum Gasket
PCV Hoses and Valves
Fuel-Filter
Fuel-Rail Insulators
Engine-Bay Fuel Lines
Clutch-Booster Hose
Brake-Booster Hose
Upper-Radiator Hose
Spark-Plugs
Steering Rack Bushings
Turbo Coolant Hoses
Power Steering Hoses
Idle-Air Hoses
VTC Solenoid Caps
Rear Main Seal
Timing Belt
Cam and Crank Seals
Idler Bearings
Tensioner
VTC Springs
Water Pump
Thermostat
There's probably a
number of other things that have been replaced, but that's all I can
think of right now. As can be seen a lot of parts have been replaced
that would have needed to be done by the next owner.
The car has a few
issues, that will probably need to be addressed by the next owner, I'm trying to be honest here and avoid any surprises for the next
owner:
Exterior wear and tear typical of a 25+ year old car. Some exterior rubber is cracking and could be replaced, but it's not too bad.
Air-conditioning blows cold, but makes a loud noise when running it. I usually drive with the windows open, so no big deal.
Windshield wiper fluid sprayers do not work, the lines are rotted. Since I never drive the car in the rain/snow, I never got them fixed.
The car burns oil, and some visible smoke can be seen under heavy throttle. This will need to be addressed. The issue is likely a turbo that is beginning to fail. This is a good car for someone planning to upgrade turbos, since all supporting mods for larger turbos are in place, I've already done 80% of the work for you.
Mileage: 106, 154.
This will probably go up a little as I do drive the car from time to
time.
Asking: $11, 750
Please don't waste
my time with low-ball offers, no joy-rides, etc. I'm very busy and I
don't have time to waste with non-serious buyers. I don't have to
sell this car. My price seems fair given the amount of money I have
in the car, and the amount of new parts and quality modifications.
I'm serious about selling and will provide answers to whatever
questions potential buyers have. Thanks for looking.
