Vic - may part car out 300zx TT 2+0 1990

You say you do t know figures but then you list them off at the first chance you get?

This is an interesting read from Greg at Specialty Z U.S. http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/z32-300zx-blow-off-valves.html

Apparently don't put BOV's on a Z32!

 

Retail dude. Don't thread crap please. I don't know second hand prices. Use common sense.

 

No one cares about retail prices.... You need to supply hard evidence of actual mods... As others said, the only thing you have on that car is the engine (with a more accurate 200k odd km's). The motor looks bog standard to me mate looking at the photo! For a "show car" they didnt spend much time in there, you would expect bling bits in there atleast as well. Someone spent lots on the exterior then realised "crap, what the heck am I doing".....unfinished project...

Show us receipts rather than spastically over priced BOV's

 

Do you mind not implying the odometer has been wound back. If it was previously used as a show car it would have low km. you can assume all you want but do it in your own spare time mate. I find your comments rude and uncalled for. Retail prices are a good indication how much was spent on this car. How about putting some effort in to come see the car? You have 0 interest in actually purchasing something. You are here because you don't like the car and you want to give the owner a hard time. I have a good strong feeling this car won't be getting parted I will see how it goes. I have a lot of people contacting me about the car to buy as a complete car. Regardless of what all the haters on this forum think, people do like this scheme. Also do you think only males drive these? If you are here to complain about receipts, move on! Your comments are not welcome as I have already answered these questions. Insinuating the odometer has been wound back is highly offensive (and it is also highly illegal) keep those types of opinions to yourself.

 

Also the last time this car was registered was 2007. 6 years ago. At the average of 20,000 km per year people travel, work out the math genius.

 

Mate all I'm seeing is some people trying to help you, looking at the photo it DOES look stock standard to me, internals CANNOT be seen via photo's so it would have to be done via receipts AND / OR a dyno run at least to see what kind of power it is currently putting out and what it can handle, seriously I've seen those stock BoV's (along with every other big brand name AND cheap knock off's) on stock TT engines just for the noise they make.

People are just trying to help you move the car if you don't want to heed their advice you won't get far on here.

 

Hi yellow, please read through my replies. I have said I am chasing up receipts, and I am considering doing a dyno tomorrow. People just don't look. And as I said the more I have to prove the more people are going to pay. If it is stock, my prices arnt stupid. If it isn't stock and I haven't proved it, the buyer wins. Guess no one likes a bargain.

No point whinging about the same thing over and over again. I don't see people trying to help, they are clearly being douches. Want to try and publicly be seen as a hero. This isn't the first time I have posted this car up. These particular people made it quite clear they don't like the car. They are doing it to be $&@ holes. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Thanks for the info. Look my price doesn't say firm. Again I'm not here to rip anyone off and it is not his place to assume it has been wound back. If its such common knowledge why do any of you claim the KM to be true and correct? Any imported vehicle will not have a true KM reading.

Again I have stated clearly I don't know much about the car. I know it's worth more than what I am asking though. If I wanted top dollar I would do the research and ask it. I don't need people online to tell me what to do. I know I'm being aggressive toward some of these commenters. Lets face it, they are not respecting my point of view on this. It's being implied that if by chance the work hasn't been done, my price is ludicrous. I do not have time for this car. My loss your gain. Nothing more, nothing less. It's actually cheaper for someone to buy the car complete.

 

Mate these guys are not ragging on you.
The guys are not trying to destroy your for sale thread. Genuine people from the forum wanting to buy will already know what is being taked about.
90% of the forum members know quite a bit about Z32.
Don't be too put off or defensive as anyone attacking you will dealing with me.
In the same context please don't attack members for offering information.

 

I read them all, the whole thread before commenting, don't assume I didn't (otherwise I wouldn't of commented at all) I read your replies obviously otherwise I wouldn't of known how you were taking the other peoples advice which I was purely commenting on.

Also I didn't see anyone being pure assholes it is just the truth unfortunately that they speak, enough cars come through here with vague or unknown things done to it and will not get touched, many people have been cursed with bad luck buying a lemon and will not take that chance unless they can 100% without a doubt be proven otherwise it is not and you are not helping with lack of information you can provide, that is all they (and me) are saying whether you like it or not, those are the facts.

If you want someone to buy a lucky dip which you are almost implying then I'd suggest ebay, set your min bid and see how it goes from there, going to do much better than here with the same thing.

 

Have a look at the zeds currently being stripped & have a look at yours...the prices sure are very different. Most zeds that get stripped for parts are firstly factory paint, so somebody out there wont want to respray the parts to match their car.

As Ryan said, most (not all) J-Specs have their odometer wound back. Everybody that has posted is just trying to help you out & since you, yourself have made it clear that you dont know much at all about the car your selling, hence why us zedders who would know more are trying to tell you what you need to show inorder to get a sale.

Sure most of us arent interested in buying the zed, but we sure are making the effort to post a reply & hope you can bring some proof about the actual work done to the zed.

Whereabouts in VIC are you? If not that far, ill come past & have a look but i can in no way be able to verify any of the engine mods you claim to have as it looks like a stock standard TT. So till you get the engine checked or dyno run, your not going to have much luck.

As for the price of buying the zed as a whole, i personally wouldnt buy a car, especially a zed that has a lot of claims & not much proof at all. So for your sake, i hope you can find the receipts & get more information from the previous owner

Hi thanks for the informative reply. I apologise if people don't like my replies. I am located in traralgon. I'm happy to pay half your fuel costs if you want to come have a squizz at the car. It still runs. I'm happy for anyone to shed some light on the car. I won't hide the fact I know very little about it. It is up on eBay with a very low starting bid ($3600) if it only gets 1 bid, it goes complete for that price (much to my dismay) if anyone is seriously interested in the information, they are welcome to contact me privately and I will pass on any previous owners contact details. I'm happy for you to find out yourself. This car is going to be the death of me. My new business is actually in the automotive industry and I am completely aware of the headache of parting the car. I do (sort of) have the room to do it, however the house is getting renovations done and it would kind of be in the way. If that's the only way to recoup some of my money then I'll suck it up. Ultimately I'd like to see it go complete because honestly there is nothing wrong with the car mechanically. Cosmetically it looks like someone took a dump on it, that's just due to the guards being unpainted. And on that note, the doors, bumper and guards are actually in primer (from when Lamborghini doors, poppers, and guards rolled) so ready to be painted to match the buyers car colour.

 

Anyone request ion information in a polite manner has received a reply to best of my knowledge. When people ask a question with a demeaning explanation such as (cars true km is more like 200,000km) is guess work nothing more nothing less. It's a common argument. It's KNOWN to be done, but unless he knows for sure he should not be making assumptions.

 

If you look at any Aus-delivered Z32 like mine Ryan's and some others (I'm not sure what Ryan's has) they are generally high, mine for instance is 250k odd km's! But runs as smooth as due to its well looked after life. The issue is, it's modified.... Like Abe said, it will be hard to sell say the body kit and such as its not desirable (plus pink).

If I was you, try and sell the entire car, let them deal with it.

If not, some tips:

Sell things in kit form. Things like a manual conversion kit, and TT conversion kit are highly
Desirable....try taking off the rubber trims if in good nick and sell a whole set. Things like this....

Just the engine by its self is too much if a gamble at 2k! Most of our money as Zedders go into the motor so if its a bad one (or soon to be bad) another 2k will go in again, easy! There the value of this whole car straight away.

 

Australia is a much larger country than Japan. We travel further and are more spread out. I've seen pizza delivery cars with 16,000km 15 years old. Does that mean their speedo is wound back? Look I understand what you are saying, but my FS thread is not the place to have the speedo debate.

 

Are you at least going to consider my suggestion or are you fixated on the fact I pointed out the low k's?

 

Cam is just trying to help out & make you understand that claims in the end are just claims...get a compression test done on the engine along with a dyno run to have proof of the engine's condition & modifications.

As Cam mentioned earlier, most people that modify the engines make it look better than stock plus most likely be able to see a few modifications like polished/powdercoated plenum, gates timing belt, aftermarket cam gears, timing covers, etc...hence why it is hard for everybody to take upon your word & hence why it is good for yourself as a seller & any interestd buyers to have the proof of said work.

It doesnt matter if the zed has 100k or 200+ kms...the condition of the zed will tell all if genuine or not. Plus since the car has obviously been resprayed at some stage, the things to look at would be the interior trims, dash, mouldings...as for the engine, has it had a plenum pull, any deletes, s2 ptu, etc? There are way too many questions unanswered.

Gee really? What a find! And I'm sure if you where to sell you would have paperwork to prove this? Service stamps and such...?
