Message	Asking $12,300 Feel free to e-mail jcmickler@yahoo.com with questions. I've had her for almost 2 years. She's been a solid car, and well sorted out. The only reason I'm selling is I have a SIGNIFICANT birthday coming up in July that warrants a mid-life crisis car purchase. So the Z32 TT vert is going up for sale . The swap was done in Dallas almost 2 years ago by Jeff Cieslik and one of his friends. Purchase condition was as follows: 1993 vert w. TT swap, new convertible top, 2 1/2 inch dp/test pipe/exhaust, UR underdrive pulley, H&R springs, Z1 ECU, mbc set to 14 psi, real RFL BOVs, new Nissan OEM turbos, all new hoses & seals with engine swap. Stock 17-inch 350z wheels. Car dynoed 310 rwhp/ 340 rwtq at 16 psi. Daily driven at 14 psi since purchase for almost 2 years. Since purchase I added over $3000 in upgrades as follows: Keep in mind these are parts cost only. If you added labor, it would be higher. 89,000 NOAH Car Cover ($200) 94,200 Window trim, cowl trim, windshield trim replaced ($400+) 1/7/07 96,000 Tokiko Illuminas 4/10/07 ($400) 96,000 Leather seat resurfaced + new center OEM back pad 4/10/07 ($600) 96,000 3000GT VR-4 Brake upgrade + Axxis Ultimate pads 4/10/07 ($550) 96,000 TT Rear swaybar + ES endlinks 4/10/07 ($120) 96,000 Redline leather center/side arm rest, brake and shift boot ($120) 96,000 Install SPL tension rods ($135) 96,000 Installed Carbing one-piece front strut brace ($190) 100,500 windows tinted ($50) 103,500 Added Powertrix one-piece rear strut bar ($190) 107,000 Spark plugs 10/8/07 (NGK OEMs $60) 109,800 trans+diff oil ch. w/ redline oil ($50) 12/30/07 109,900 Replaced rubber trim on top/windshield ($400)1/5/07 Current mileage is 113,000, Tires are Fuzion ZR-i with plently of tread left. If I can sell it for close to asking price I'll throw in about another $1000 in bonus parts, including a new OEM 2-piece drive shaft with carrier bearing ($550), brand new OEM wiring harness still in the plastic bag I bought just in case I ever pulled the engine ($355), new trans mount ($50), and used Koyo radiator ($150), used 3-piece wingz panel for koyo radiator ($75), new OEM leather shift knob ($60). I would rate the car in very good shape. The body has a few parking lot dings, so its not a show car. But its a really good condition daily driver. About the only thing left I would do is replace the carpetting. As with all my cars, if its parked the car is always either in the garage or under a car cover. I never subject my cars to more than an hour of sunlight unless its being driven. Always synthetic 10W-30 every 3-4k miles. Timing belt is not due until 147,000. Known issues: 1. The car does not have the fan shroud. If you are in a lot of stop and go traffic in summer heat with the AC on, it will run a little hot (although I've never had it overheat). I drive the car to work (5 miles) and on the interstate for business, so it has not been an issue for me, but it would be worth adding a fan shroud if you are in traffic a lot. 2. Slight idle suge when AC is on related to the FICD. I have a spare FICD I'll throw in. I just have never changed it because it has not been a reliability issue and its a bit of a pain to reach (on the back side of the plenum). If you are interested, you can see pictures at the website below. Let me know if you have any questions. jcmickler@yahoo.com Asking price $12,300
