Message So I am thinking of selling my 300ZX I really don't want to but I have something I like to do. Some of you may know this car some of you may not. I have spent a lot of money and trying to do things right so as you can imagine my investment is huge and I will be taking a wash in trying to sell it.

I used to go to many shows and have won many trophys for those who are into that stuff. I haven't been to show a in a while but I still try and maintain the car clean.

So how much power? The only time I dyno'd it was a while ago to break in the motor and get a base number at 16psi it made 565RWHP. The motor is built up to handle as much as the turbos can dish out. At this power level I been able to handle most vehicles found on the road. I had given some thought to adding Nitrous, converting to E85 or maybe just methanol injection so I can run more boost and make more power but never realized it but I am sure at 23 psi you could make another 100RWHP and still be running pump gas, on C16 and 35PSI I am thinking 750-800RWHP or so.

Recently I was on set for the shooting of the Fast Five it was 2 week long events, and while I got a lot of filming time on my car only a smidgen of it made to the actual film, but the car at least made into the film, here is a slide I found online, it is left of walker with the hood up, yes it is a small portion :-)

In my profile you can find most of my information for this car but basically the who car has been modified, engine, interior, exterior.

The big question how much? I am asking 30k and I am negotiable to a serious buyer. There is couple items I never got install, like a Race Logic Traction Control system, HKS ignition amplifier, new metal splash shields plus more stuff around the house. I am willing to give a commission or even sell on consignment but I am not going to spend cash on listing it with some bogus website.

What else can I say about this car? It has great power, handles great, it makes me smile when I cruise with it, makes my grin like the Joker when I am on boost, I get tons of compliments on the vehicle from others. I really have enjoyed and I am sure the new owner will enjoy it as well.

Hmm I feel like I am already going to miss it, maybe I will get lucky and not get a serious offer on it :-)
