I'm looking to sell my 1994 Black Emerald/Tan/5 speed 300zx with 174,xxx miles on the chassis, and ~30-35k miles on the rebuilt motor. It has never been in an accident, has a clean title, and has always been a Texas car. The car runs, drives great, has cold A/C, ABS brakes, etc.


The modification list is extensive, and many of the parts were new in November 2007. Here's the list:

Engine:
NA-->TT swap
Wiseco pistons (w/Polydyn Coating)
Stock rods
Cometic metal head gaskets (stock compression) (New November 2007)
Garrett GT2860RS Ball Bearing turbos (Over $2000 New November 2007)
Specialty Z 2.5in Downpipes (New November 2007)
2.5 SS midpipes
Greddy Power Extreme cat back
HKS wastegate actuators
Custom intercoolers (w/Bell cores) (New November 2007)
Apexi BOV's
Nismo 555cc injectors
TT fuel pump
Bypassed TB coolant lines
Bypassed EGR
Bypassed charcoal canister
Samco intercooler piping (New November 2007)
JWT Single Pop Charger (New November 2007)
Koyo aluminum radiator
Nismo thermostat
Nismo radiator cap

Engine Management/Electronics:
JWT ECU
Apexi S-AFC
HKS EVC-EZ boost controller
Blitz DTT-DC boost gauge/turbo timer

Drivetrain:
RPS Max Clutch (New November 2007)
Fidanza flywheel
Nismo pilot bearing (New November 2007)
SPL clutch fork pivot
SPL SS clutch line
SPL Bronze Shifter Bushings (New March 2008)
Ebay/Mookeeh short shifter (New March 2008)
Nismo GT shift knob (New March 2008)

Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Tires:
Ground Control coilovers
KYB GR2 shocks
Stillen RUCAS
300 degree camber kit
SPL subframe spacers
SPL SS brake lines
SPL adjustable outer tie rods
13" Mustang Cobra brake rotor upgrade
Hawk HPS pads
NEW OEM Nissan rear pads
ATE Super Blue fluid
18x9.5 +30 Hyper Silver Rota P-45 R's (New January 2008)
Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R 245/40/18 front (both replaced [$250.00 a piece!] less than 2 months ago, with at least 90% tread remaining)
Bridgestone Potenza RE-01 265/35/18 rear
Blox Forged lug nuts

Exterior/Interior modifications:
Stillen GTZ-R fascia w/nose panel
BMW 745i Bi-Xenon D2S HID projector retrofit (High and Low beam HID - works AMAZING)
JDM tailights
Clear front corners (with Sylvania Silverstar Turn Signals)
SPL/KTS 3 spoke steering wheel w/hub (I still have the stock 4 spoke Airbag wheel which can be installed at the buyer's preference)
Pioneer DEH-P7800 with IPOD interface/adapter
Hardwired Passport 8500 X50 Radar Detector

Included with the purchase of the car (not installed)
1994 Stock TT front bumper fascia
1992 Stock Nose Panel

This car is quite the head turner, and I get complitments on it on a near-daily basis. The exterior isn't perfect however, as it has some wear and tear you'd expect of a 14 year old car. There is some hail damage throughout the body (it isn't easily apparent in pictures, and from a few feet away), and the paint is faded below the gas door.

Things that could be addressed:
- The transmission grinds when shifting into 4th gear sometimes (common z32 problem)
- Reverse lights do not work.
- Small oil leak by the oil cooler lines (does not create puddles).
- Small powersteering leak (does not create puddles).
- Minimum boost set by the HKS wastegate actuators is roughly 20 psi. They should be lowered to 15 psi or below (does not affect driveability however).
- Passenger side rear hub needs one of the wheel studs replaced. fixed 7/11/2008
- The car could use some dynamat/sound deadening in the trunk area to quiet road noise.

I'm sad to sell my baby, but I need to move on to a larger vehicle. I've been driving this car daily, and I feel I've upgraded, and replaced enough of the major parts to provide the new owner with a reliable, and extremely fast vehicle to enjoy for many miles ahead. Someone is going to be very happy.

The approximate power output of this car should be around the 450 rear wheel horsepower mark on 93 octance gas, but with the new turbos, and a high-boost tune, it should be capable of making ~600 rear wheel horsepower!

Let me know if you have any questions, now onto the pics:

Thanks for the kind words guys. Also, for some weird reason any e46 m3 owners want to get into a cheaper vehicle, I'd definitely be interested in trading (+ up to 15k cash on my part). I miiiight be interested in the right s52 e36 m3 as well.


Anyway, I went outside yesterday and snapped a pic of the engine bay:

Damn, I'm going to have to think about this one. When I first started looking at cars way back when I was ~16, fell in love with the Z32. I would love to own one at some point.

Emails sent!

Thanks for the bumps guys! It's truly a unique car w/classic lines. I love driving to work everyday, and not seeing one very often. I may be getting a matching SPL Carbon passenger seat too if that will speed up the sale.

I just purchased a set of brand new OEM o2 sensors that I'll install pre-sale.


I'll take 8,000.00 for the car now :(

...it hurts to type that, but that's as low as I can feasibly go!

Great car! My friends owns a Z and his brothers(3) do too. They have a little Z family, it's pretty cool. The car is amazing as it handles extremely well and it's fast as hell! Once i get a e36 m3, me and him are gonna have a photoshoot!


Good luck with the selling. you will miss this car, I guarantee

Thanks!

I just put on some new Hawk HP plus pads up front, and fixed the reverse light issue.

I'm thinking I may just keep the car, and get an E36 M3 as a daily. It's getting too tough to sell such a modified car. :help
