I'm going to keep this mostly short and sweet, if you want tons of details on all the parts replaced, PM me. I can assure you it was done right. It's a 92 twin turbo 5 speed with tan leather. It's had the full 120k kit done with OEM parts by a Nissan mechanic who specializes in twin turbos. I have all receipts for every single part, along with the exact mileage every single part was installed. The car has 134xxx on it now.

As far as a price, it's $7500, and fairly firm. If you have a trade, it should be worth near what I'm asking, or cash needs to be added. I will trade down, but cash will have to be added. I'm in Chattanooga, TN.

Mods:

Stillen single intake
Stillen short shifter
Stillen x pipe
Stillen cat back
ZTuner chip
Apexi Auto Timer
550cc injectors
EGR delete (not really a mod though)
Z1 boost hard pipes
AMS aluminum radiator with silicone hoses
Spec Stage 2+ clutch and pressure plate
14psi boost jets installed


Pros:

Reliable, starts up every day immediately, even in really cold weather.
Stillen GTZ-R Gen 1 fascia and nose panel installed, along with a driver fender and hood and all re-sprayed.
The a/c works and is cold, and the heat works and is hot.
I've been using Amsoil Signature Series (their top of the line) along with an Amsoil filter since I've owned it.

Cons:

Leather seats are worn, but c'mon, it's a 92.
Slow power steering fluid leak.

I would absolutely love to own another one of these.

Might you be interested in a well maintained s13?

Dunno, really wanting to stay with something boosted/v8 more than likely, unless it's a kick ass old car.

Bump...might include my downpipes, testpipes, and new aluminum radiator with silicone coolant hoses if the price/trade is right. Also got a fresh box of Amsoil products for it today.

I've seen that car in person. He really put some money Into bring it back to good shape. (I had your old Lexus lol)

Matt300ZXT
05-13-2012, 03:20 PM
Yeah, and you sold/traded it to someone down the same highway I live on! :( That's why I prefer to trade/sale my cars to someone far away, so I don't have to see my old cars lol

Sounded GREAT until he passed me and I realized he had cut the mufflers off, and was smoking in my car! >: (

It ran real well when I traded it. That's why I don't like to see cars after trading them

So last night I get an email offer of $6500 from a car classified's site I use. When I wrote back and told him I couldn't do $6500 but probably would do $7200 if he got a little more money, he proceeded to write back and say the offer of $6500 was being nice and that the car is really only worth $5500 and that's if the car didn't smoke lol I suppose the car is only worth $5500, but only if I take off my upgraded injectors, ECU chip, intake, exhaust, radiator, clutch, short shifter, and also remove the timing belt/water pump that was put on ;)

Have some new parts since I posted this, or parts I've had that I haven't installed yet:

Stillen GTZ-R Gen 1 fascia and Stillen nose panel
Mint used hood
2 very good condition used fenders (only needed 1 but got a good deal on both)

I bought these body parts to put on the front end since the fascia has a couple less than savory spots on it, and also the hood to replace the hood where it has the ripple on it from where some jackass closed the hood on a tool; hence also the used fenders I bought to replace the driver fender (also light damage from the hood closing on a tool). I figured it'd be easier to respray another mint hood, than fix and straighten the stock hood since they're aluminum. Also the fender I got because it'd be easier to take care of the 1 tiny tiny ding on it and spray it rather than fix the dent in the stock fender from the tool closing, plus a few other little small dings.

350Z Touring V1 wheels/tires in great shape (fronts need tires)
"Big brake kit"...relocation bracket to use stock calipers but on a larger cross drilled and slotted rotor
Used but clean power steering rack

The rack came from a parts twin turbo with 100k. It's very clean and no signs of leaks. Bought it to have sent in as a core to get rebuilt to put on mine since it has a leak, and this way would cause me very little downtime compared to taking mine off, sending it in to Z1 and waiting a couple weeks to get my new one sent it.

Also, still have the downpipes and testpipes with new in the box Bosch O2 sensors, and all new gaskets involved with the exhaust system

I also purchased a new heavy duty clutch fork and chromoly pivot ball, and both new springs associated with the clutch fork

Naturally, all this new stuff isn't included at the price listed, but if someone is interested in ALL stuff Z32, they're welcome to make an offer for the car as it sits, or all of it.

Update, I just got the car back from the shop today having a fender, hood, fascia and nose panel painted/installed. Car looks great, but obviously the price has to go up a bit. If anyone is still interested in it and wants to make an offer, feel free to PM me.

Bump, original post has been changed to reflect a less cluttered description and price changed, in case people don't read through all the messages to see where I may have decided to drop the price a little.

I'm in chattanooga. Well Ooltewah. Don't think I've see this car around. Can't believe it hasn't sold yet. I'll ask a few nissian guys if they are interested.

Matt300ZXT
03-05-2013, 04:55 PM
I'm not really pushing it. Had tons of offers for people wanting to trade Trans Ams, SCs, 240SXs, Starions etc all worth 5k max and I'm not letting my car go for something worth substantially less. Either that or people who want to try and lowball me with cash but I'm in no hurry to sell don't need the money, so I can afford to wait for the right buyer.

I don't take it out a whole lot, even though I live right next to Ooltewah in Harrison. Usually when I'm out any further away than near the house or going to work, it's going up to East Ridge for a few hours and back.

So much shit has changed since I posted this ad, it's not really even relevant anymore lol Got so much suspension and Racing Hart wheels ready to go on it, just waiting to get a bushing kit and sway bars before I put it all on and slam it on 19s.

Bump, I got the bug and put it back up on Craigslist to see what was offered. Still $7500 but I have replaced the leaky power steering with an n/a power steering setup, I rebuilt the pump with OEM parts and put it back on with a Z1 high pressure line. The line is easily removable and serviceable by any hydraulic shop, but I doubt it'll need pulled for a looooooooong time. No more power steering fluid leaks and topping off the reservoir every week and a half or so. Also, replaced the hard lines with silicone boost hoses, but I still have the others if someone prefers those.

Also, to bump the value up quite a bit I have all the sway bars, bushings, coilovers, camber arms, wheels, brake upgrade, etc still to go along with it for a higher priced trade or to sell along with it if someone is interested.

Matt300ZXT

Bump to the top. $7500 with Selin dual intake system, 350Z wheels and downpipes/test pipes included. $6800 with single intake and no other extras. Willing to trade up or down, as I have cash or would take cash on top of your trade.
