Location: Inner Sydney, NSW Year: 1989 Body (2+0/2+2): 2+2 Colour: Red/Burgundy Engine (Turbo/NA): NA Transmission (MT/AT): Manual Interior (Cloth/Leather): Cloth Odometer: 226xxx on body, 56xxx on internals (since rebuild) Price: $4000 Rego: Unregistered Contact Details: PM here The car here has being my my daily driver for many years now, but put up for sale as a Parts / Donor car. It's a pretty unique situation as the car runs fine, and the reason it's off the road now is because due to a minor accident 8 years ago, the front chassis (before the engine bay and suspension geometry) bent inwards a little which caused the front-bar to visually not sitting properly. It's been mostly fine over the years, but as pink slips gets stricter I at a point where I am not able to get it registered anymore due to this issue. So rather than having dodgy internals with nice body; this car is the reverse and has a heart of gold with rebuilt internals, new suspension, bushing, seals and pipes to keep it running over the years. The exterior looks super dodgy as I haven't sorted it out over the years due to time and cost (spent it all on internals). Right now I just don't have time and space to slowly part all the good stuff out, so I am looking for someone who has time; or preferably give the internals a new life somewhere else (maybe in another Z).

Other things not named here were probably replaced normally over the years due to wear and tear. Parked permanently in an underground car park within my building. I idle and move the car around monthly to keep things lubricated. If you need further info or want to know more about the car, please PM me and I will try reply quick. PS. Might be obvious, but I just want to also note that although it moves, you will probably need a tow truck, trailer or something to transport it. Cheers, Kevin
As I understand it, this car started life as an auto then became a manual? Do you this have the auto box? Do you still have the car? Is the car in a rebuildable condition if chassis parts various were replaced? Cheers Roland
Hi Roland, Yes, the car indeed started life as an auto. Unfortunately it was a while ago and the auto box ended up at the wreckers when we did a garage clean back then. The car is still available and open to offers (currently listed for 3k on gumtree), and the car is indeed in a rebuildable condition. It should only require the following: - Braces from the bar (before the radiator) to the front straightened back out - Replacement front-bar (since the current one is in pretty bad state) - Replacement front-bumper foam Additionally, the engine was recently compression tested 1-2 months back: Cyl 1 - 170 ; Cyl 2 - 165 ; Cyl 3 - 165 ; Cyl 4 - 170 ; Cyl 5 - 170 ; Cyl 6 - 175
It's a great project car. It really is, but I am set for Z31. But it's a car that deserves a second chance.
Thanks Roland, I too feel that the car deserves a second chance. Hope you find a good Z31 for your project.
Thanks mate, but someone picked up the car just last night so the car is now gone. Will close the thread.
