tommykaira m30z

Not sure if its a member but if this is legit.... and I had the cash...... I would be keen on it,
Remeber a vehicle is worth what someone is prepared to pay - and next to a 2k spec and maybe even more so this is rare.

The only thing I wonder about is all the pics I have seen of the interiors have Tommy Kaira embossed on the seats

 

The exterior looks all original but the interior looks modified. Red steering wheel different seats. Not 100% original by the looks of it.

 

Couple of things to note if you ever get to check it out, copied from a blog

Typical M30Z models have the following modifications:



Tommy Kaira body kit with refashioned front bumper lip and unique Aero rear spoiler (with central signature panel). Metal decals on the front and sides and M30Z decal above the rear lights. Some cars come with a pinstripe flank detail running the length of the car.



Tommy Kaira wheels as in the picture below - lightened and forged but, like the JDM 300zx wheels, designed to redirect cool air onto the braking components. Brakes have uprated brake lines, larger cross drilled and vented Discs and upgraded V-Spec Calipers. The suspension is modified with Tommy Kaira anti roll bars, springs, dampers and other components (originally sourced from Bilstein)



All M30Zs are Japanese Twin Turbo editions and have remapped ECU electronic management systems. Induction kits are typically HKS modified units and Side mounted "Super Cup" intercoolers are employed. The customised Tommy Kaira exhaust system has a high-flow sports cat system and signature squared-off tips. Baseline output is 350 Bhp although many cars are running higher than this. ALL Tommy Kaira models have a stamped identification plate from the factory and a Green valance along the top of the Engine.



Interior seats were sourced from Recaro with added lumbar support and decals were added along with a Tommy Kaira steering wheel. Manual cars have a TK shift knob, Autos have the Power/Hold switches. Three extra 52mm gauges are found in the central console incorporating either Exhaust Gas Temperature, Boost, Voltometer, or Oil Temperature measurements. The standard dials are replaced with all red 300Km/hr TK dials.

This car has been up for a while now.

 

Just saw this on gumtree myself.

Anyone in WA checked it out in Person yet?

In the current market, seems pricey even if genuine but that's just me. I'm not a fan of this "special edition" to be honest, and I'm not sure time will favour it over a stock clean nissan version.

Dunno.

 

I think that it won't be wanted by the masses but it's got to come close to being as desirable as a clean stock unit. This one has a few things missing that should be on a tk model but no idea why. Unfortunately I can't afford the purchase at the moment or it would be in my garage.

 

I agree 100% that it's an extremely clean example. (only going by the photos) and that's worth something in itself.

Still just as high K's as any other though.

 

Price has dropped about 8k now

 

Its back up again and now I believe it is in a very realistic price range http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/kardinya/cars-vans-utes/nissan-300zx-tommykaira-auto/1120999000

Interestingly the current pics show what appear to be original seats

 

It's an odd one.

Wouldn't you clearly show the plaque if it were a genuine one?

And if it's not, that's a lot of expense/effort to make it look like one given there is little gain anyway.

Meh as said before, still looks like a very clean Zed reguardless.

 

I do think that the price is very reasonable now if it is genuine TK model and not bad even if not

 

Well it has sold - hope its to someone that can appreciate the rarity of it. I so wish I had some cash to burn when I saw it last
