Since then ive been working on it as the previous owner he got it from had put all this cheap plastic over the interior and also had not cleaned engine or anything..
I've been replacing the interior with stock parts to restore it.

Any feedback or advice would be great as its my first time doing this!...

It's had two owners since that for sale post.

Judging by the receipts, the car was floating between Coffs Harbour and Brisbane between 2014 and 2019, and the owner, who originally bought it, did lots of mods in that time. It's now a manual, has LinkECU, upgraded fuel system, radiator, exhaust, intake, suspension, body kit, 600HP T28 turbos, retrimmed interior, brembo...

Still a novice forum member, but (after inspiration from other members) I have decided to move my Z32 TT conversation from the tech section to the ride section as it makes more sense for the general chit chat and updates that have been happening.

Thanks again for having me, it is awesome having a community of supportive members and differing opinions on the Z. In the vein of contributing to the forum and the community, here is my ongoing build thread for my 1991 Z32 300ZX TT...

For ages I've been toying with the idea of getting a Z to "just drive" while my Twin Turbo is waiting for some custom fab stuff. This NA auto came up recently, which wouldn't normally be my thing, but after confirming it's a year 2000 build I couldn't not...

At the moment the plan is to put it back to factory spec as much as possible.

That's really all for now but I'll post some updates as I go.

I think my car is at Tonys Bodyworks in Heatherbrae NSW. It's getting re-painted and the defective panels eithers fixed or replaced. Replaced is my absolute preference.

I have the turbo air scoop and that is going to be fitted.

Unable to figure out how to post pictures in this thread but things are happening.

Yes, this is another project build story.

Just a little bit about myself. Born in the early 90's era from around western Sydney.

I grew up playing the the Gran Turismo games on PS1, and as a starter car I always seemed to fancy the 300ZX or the series 5 RX7. With a fair bit of nostalgia and the fear of never been able to afford one if I didn't get a 300ZX soon, I ended up purchasing a 1989 300ZX TT Auto 2 Seater (Import). It was a dream find due to its close vicinity and dirt...
