Message PHOENIX AZ Our 96ZX TT aka Outbid is officially for sale. Many of you have seen it at Pavillions and some of the 'Z' meets. We would prefer a fellow 'Z' enthusiast purchase her form us. I have listed below all of the specs on the car. It is a great car and has been impecably cared for and adult driven. Please feel free to email or call me with any questions or for pics of the car. email: tiffanydanley@cox.net or 480.205.0705 Thanks.

This is a car enthusiast DREAM! This is car #283 of what is believed to be the last 300 ZX cars built and delivered to North America in 1996. Original Sticker for the car was $44,384 in 1996. I’ve owned this car for the past 2-1/2 years. I bought this car after a long heated auction on e-bay 2-1/2 years ago with 89,000 miles on it. I never saw or drove the car before bidding and to my fault purchased a car with major mechanical problems. After trying to go after the seller for months I decided to suck it up and start what would become a complete overhaul which started at 91,500 miles. The new engine has 15,010 miles. I consulted what is arguably the number one “Z” shop in the state of Arizona on this build. I can provide mechanic numbers and receipts for all work performed on this incredible vehicle. This car was professionally built by Vitaly of Pitstop Performance [ www.pitstopaz.com ] For those of you that know Z’s on the West coast know that he’s the most honest, well known mechanic’s and “Z” enthusiast I’ve ever known. The build consists of well over $10,000 invested not including the price that I paid for the vehicle. I am a working professional that has taken no shortcuts in what has been the most exciting build that I’ve ever done. Now a business transaction is forcing a sale. This car has never seen more than 9.5 lbs of boost since the build. I had plans of upgrading the computer using Jim Wolfe’s Chip but never came around to it. During the build I installed an HKS Turbo Timer to protect my investment. There is no Boost Controller installed in this car! It’s ready for any enthusiast to continue the journey. Other than some basic bolt-ons this is a STOCK car with internals that could handle major Boost with a couple fuel and chip upgrades. Since the Build I’ve never ran anything but Chevron 91 Octane Fuel (this is the highest pump gas available in the area). The oil has been changed 6 times with the first at 1,250 miles on the new engine, and again at 3,000. I’ve been told Details of the build and complete photo documentary are available upon request. Major highlights include the following:

I'm sure there is so much more that I’m forgetting. I have all receipts and am too scarred to add them up with fears of the total. As mentioned this car has NEVER been boosted beyond the factory set 9-1/2 lbs of boost. I’ve taken this car to the local track at around 101,000 miles or roughly 10,000 miles on the new engine and pulled 13.753 @ 100.991 MPH & 13.596 & 104.221 MPH on the stock Nissan clutch. It has never been raced other than those two runs. I am not an adolescent and have not treated this car as a toy. I am a business professional that enjoys cars just like you. This is a very quick car that drives and shifts very smooth. The downpipes allow quick turbo spool up even with the factory cats. This car has absolutely no problems passing our emmisions testing in AZ and has the new OBDII computer.

[b]Blemishes:

From what I can gather this car has the original paint. The Driver side quarter has a dent & scratches from the trailer while being towed to the pressure washer prior to engine install. The Front lower valance has a slight crack in the driver corner The rear bumper has some oxidation which is typical for Nissan cars with original paint The passenger door has a slight crease which is only noticeable in dark light. Hood & fenders have normal wear and slight rock chips expected for a 10 year old car There is a small power steering leak. (I did not replace the pump during the build and probably needs new seals, hoses, or o-rings). A reccommendation would be to replace the injectors with larger NISMO 555's if you plan on adding additional boost. The stock injectors were all tested during the build so I had no need to replace since I am running the car STOCK. The rest of the car is in incredible shape. Well over $21,000 to $24,000 invested[b]Asking $17,500 e-mail at tiffanydanley@cox.net for pictures, questions, or to schedule a drive. No joy rides, this is a high performance automobile. Thanks in advance.
