Message I've had several good offers, and I'm tired of dealing with people making offers then disappearing. So far there is no cash in my hand, and the car is not sold until there is.

I re-listed the car on ebay with a lower reserve and buy-it-now price. I removed the aftermarket stereo, HIDs and some other minor things from the ad in concurrence with the lowered price. Ebay Auction

This is a solid 300zx, likely the most solid 300zx you'll ever drive. There is no rattling, no strange noises from anywhere, no strange performance-related issues, nothing out of the ordinary that you would expect from a showroom floor car (besides minor cosmetic). For more high-res pics, see my albums here: Slicktop High-Res Pics

and for slightly better interior shots from when the interior was installed on my silver 300zx just a few months before, go here: silver TT

I have various reasons for selling, which include: too much debt, looking at taking a new job (moving), family crises (my mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer a few months ago), and other financial obligations which may or may not include a particular female :) I have been more than pleased with this Z, as I'm sure its new owner will as well. It is one of the nicest Zs I've seen, and still turns heads all over town. I have been a member of tt.net for years, and I have conducted a lot of business via classifieds, so there are plenty of members who can vouch for me.

Earlier in the year, I stumbled upon a US twin turbo motor for sale from a wrecked '92 Z with 57k miles on the odometer. The car currently has 156k miles on the chassis, about 1500 on the swap, making about 59k on the motor. The swap was completed professionally by Brad Grodi of Zsolutions in Alabaster, AL. There is not a single part from a JDM car on it; it's all USDM and the donor car was in pristine condition before it rolled. I had Brad do the 120k maintenance on the motor, also replacing a lot of hoses and such that go bad over time. It also has a brand new EFI harness, as the old ones get brittle and corrode. Once the install was completed, the motor ran exceptionally well, and it currently purrs as if it just rolled off the showroom floor.

It boosts strong, handles amazingly, and shifts flawlessly. It's the best-handling Z I've owned, as it weighs a lot less than a stock twin turbo, it doesn't have the annoying HICAS, it has shorter NA gears, making it quick down low, and the hard top enforces the rigidity of the chassis. The car has never been in an accident as far as I know, there are no major issues that I know about, and mechanically it's flawless. I've driven it almost daily, and I guarantee anyone that drives it will not be disappointed.

The car has stock intercoolers and lower piping, all twin turbo parts (radiator, a/c condenser, a/c piping, etc.), twin turbo fuel pump and controller (controller not currently installed), SpecialtyZ newer style Super Split downpipes, Z1 Stainless Test Pipes, custom catback exhaust, RPS clutch, Ash-spec ECU (tuned for 15psi, but I've always run 9psi), K&N pop charger, GReddy Profec B boost controller (set at 9psi), TurboXS RFL BOVs, Aluminum upper intercooler hardpipes, TT wheels with brand new rear tires (8.5" rear, 7.5" front), TT rear sway bar, JDM front fascia with shaved license bracket, JDM tails and center panel, JDM shift/ebrake boots, Powertrix carbon fiber fog light intercooler ducts (I still have the fog lights and buckets), '95 black leather/suede interior with converted seat belts (no seatbelts in doors).

The front bumper, nose panel, hood, roof and roof/windshield pillars were painted by Jonathan Goolsby at Goolsby Customs in Bessemer, AL. He's a highly talented paint professional, and he specializes in show cars, so the paint job is show quality. It currently has a silver Nissan nose panel emblem, and the front wheels are on correctly (unlike in the pics). I also have another hatch for it; I had a spare from another Z, and I planned on having one wingless and another with a '94+ spoiler. The other hatch is black, but the paint is fading and it will need paint if installed (most likely a spoiler would need to be painted anyway).

The Bad:
-The exterior has some scratches, and there is a small ding on each door, one in the rear, and a dent on the driver's side under the gas door. They aren't unreasonably noticeable, and I never pay much attention to them. The dash is peeling slightly by the defog vents. Seats have normal wear. The power steering has had a slight leek since I've owned the car, but it hasn't affected me much so I haven't fixed it yet. That's pretty much it.

Email me if you're interested. Thanks!
