Message	Asking $11,700 Feel free to e-mail jcmickler@yahoo.com with questions. I've had her for 2 years. She's been a solid car, and well sorted out. The only reason I'm selling is I just turned 40 and want to make 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 113,800, Tires are Fuzion ZR-i with plently of tread left. 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. I had previously poseted that the car had an idle surge associated with a the AAC/FICD. That is now fixed. 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. If you are interested, you can see pictures at the website below. Let me know if you have any questions.
