Year:1990 Body:2+0 Colour:red Engine: twin turbo Transmission (MT/AT):manual Interior (Cloth/Leather):cloth with recaro passenger seat, bride copy drivers seat Odometer:121*** Price: 12000 Contact Details: p/m or call Andrew 0422373612 i bought the car 22nd of january last year, car was originally a non turbo. drove the car all last year and loved it! i replaced the engine this year to a twin turbo. The car was off the raod for six months and it killed me. I did most of the work myself along with some mates, just getting Dontex Automotive (300zx specialist) to check over the car to make sure everything was done correctly. All they ended up doing with rewiring some of the injected plugs. While i had the engine out of the car, i did a bit of work on it Work Includes; -plenum pull and under plenum water bypass, plenum was also cleaned and painted in gunmetal grey -removal or all four rocker covers and replacing the gaskets -removed timing belt covers and inspecting the timing belt, tensioners and idler pulleys. -removed hard water lines on the front of the motor, cleaned and painted them gunmetal grey replaced thermostat and resealed both head pipes to housings -replaced drive belts and installed unorthodox lightened UDP, lightened OWP puley and lightened power steering pulleys to the motor -removed turbos and inspected them (found out the had been rebuild 5,000km before i had bought the motor) and replaced all gaskets. -had my exhaust manifolds ported, honed and heat wrapped before refitting turbos. -replaced heater core hoses -replaced standard clutch and flywheel with lightened flywheel and exedy heavy duty clutch. Also replacing rear main seal, thrust and spigot bearing. After the motor was put into the car, -i installed a set of autometer smoked face gauges which includes oil pressure, water temp, oil temp and air fuel. i also just put in a boost gauge. - i purchased a front mount intercooler off simon (lowzx). -replaced the gearbox oil with red line shock proof (so it must be a special racing gearbox, thanks icer lol). -installed a nismo RS585 machanical 1.5 way LSD diff centre, also replacing the diff oil with castrol LSX90. -replaced the centre bearing on the tail shaft -installed some BC coilovers fully adjustable hight and 32way dampener -got a custom daul 2.5 inch turbo back exhaust with split dumps, 2x high flow cats and 2x single 3" tips (not loud, cant really hear it on idle but sound really tough when it comes on boost. -installed a stillen short shifter and solid bronze shifter bushes car also has a set of stern racing rims 17" by 8.5" and 17" by 9.5" +37 offset. i also had a full stereo in the car, with an apline IDAx100 headunit 600watt amp 12"sub and 2x 6.5" alpine type x splits, but.... that got stolen and all thats left are the alpine type x front speakers. car is very smooth to drive and the engine had a comp test done before i bought it and it showed mid to high 150s. when i bought the car i paid $8.5k for it 2 years ago as an N/A since then i have spent well over 12k on it not only of the engine swap also on maintaining the car replacing everything. i've never had a problem with the car, it has always runs perfectly. i don't have a photo bucket so i cant post pics but maybe i could email them to somone and they could post them up for me? cheers Andrew:zlove::zlove::zlove:
