Finally, after collecting tons of pictures and spending countless hours on TT.net, I finally have a Z to call my own. It's a 1994 Platinum Metallic Twin Turbo. Fantastic condition cosmetically and mechanically, all stock besides a JWT Intake and older model Powertrix tension rods that I need to swap out for the newer model. It even came with all the original accessories like the Titanium Key, the hatch cover, ttop bags, etc. The only people happier than me right now are my friends as they don't have to hear me go on and on and on AND ON about how much I want a Z. Now, I don't know a thing about working on cars in general, but I plan to learn! As this was the case and location permitted, Dr. Kuah from SPL Parts was able to look over the car for me and he gave it a very clean bill of health. There are a few minor things that need to be done, but nothing major. I've already ordered Jspec tails and a new third brake light as it is a bit faded. Besides that, I have my two TT.net stickers sitting here that I ordered a long time ago, as well as a brand new set of 18x9 Enkei GTVs that I got an incredible deal on. 200 bucks a wheel, brand new in box. Those will be wrapped in used Michelin Pilot Sports I bought off of ebay. Before you laugh, I got a pretty good deal on those too! 255/40/18 W-rated up front with about 80% tread left, and 275/35/18 Z-Rated in the back with about 60% tread left. The tires are all in great condition and I got them for 200 bucks total. Last but not least, I plan on driving up to Specialty Z in the next couple of weeks and purchasing the new 3" exhaust. Here are two quick pictures of my new love: 
It came from Austin Tejas all the way to Huntington Beach California. A huge thanks goes out to kuah@splparts.com for putting aside some time to look at the Z for me, ZXRider(SoCal) for putting up with me asking millions of noobie questions that I would never dare ask here, and Eric(NJ) for looking at a car in NJ for me that I definitely wanted to stay away from. As soon as I master driving a 5speed, I will finally grow some balls and give it a little boost. :)
