Hi guys, I've decided to sell my Z, it has been a VERY hard decision to come to but ultimately after owning one for 7 years now (or is it 8?) it's just time for a change. This will NOT be my last Z, I just need a break for a year or two and I also want different things from a car these days.... having owned a modified car is not something that thrills me as much as it used to, maybe I'm getting old but I really don't boost it up that often anymore, it's certianly never necessary to put your foot flat down on the street and hit high boost unless you're in the mood. The next Z will either be a convertible once prices in Japan become a bit more reasonable, or a dedicated unregistered track Z. The car was imported late 2002, basic info: 1989 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo 2 seater Manual Black Targa roof Around 110,000km No accident history Has been very well looked after, I really can't even remember all of the work I've done there's so much, I have done a lot of preventative maintenance and so on, and whenever somethign was replaced or fixed no corners were cut. Interior, mechanical and exterior condition are all very good, the engine bay has obviously had a lot of work done, if you are more pedantic than I you could probably say it needs a decent clean, otherwise it did win best engine bay at Gilgandra 2004 Modifications: Engine: Unifilter pod HKS T-25G turbos HKS dump pipes HKS side mount intercoolers HKS Twin Power Igniton module Hitec Performance custom ECU Ab-Flug "Power Superior" stainless 3 inch exhaust (turbo back) Ab-Flug hard pipe kit High flow cats 0.5mm oversize pistons and rings Tomei 1.5mm metal head gasket Unorthodox Racing underdrive pulley Apexi AVC-R Nismo 555cc injectors Nismo fuel pressure regulator Nismo GTR fuel pump Nismo 1.3 bar radiator cap JUN radiator Stainless steel lower radiator hose Stainless steel braided clutch line Has done 260 - 270rwkW (sorry I don't remember the exact figure) Handling: HKS Super Form Springs Bilstein shocks Ab-Flug front strut tower brace Cusco rear strur tower brace Cusco upper pyro suspension mounts Cusco tension rods Subframe spacers Brakes: Endless brake pads Ab-Flug brake master cylinder brace Goodrich stainless braided front brake lines Interior Viper car alarm with 2 way paging remote and auto start Recaro SR driver's seat Retrimed black leather interior panels Ab-Flug Formula gated shifter Momo Corse steering wheel 2000 model marble centre console Blitz dual turbo timerr Riocar Empeg in car MP3 player with 10gig hard drive, running Consult.

Also comes with a variety of spares if you want, plus a few uninstalled mods, we could go around the garage and see what you'd like. I really don't want to think about how much I've spent on the car, the previous owner in Japan spent around $30,000 before I got it (although he got a bit ripped off on some stuff in my opinion and I've done a lot since. I have a list of all of the mods and price paid when the car was owned in Japan as well as partial service history. The speedo reads 50,000km however this was reset to 0 when the rebuilt engine went in so that is the age of the engine only, before that the car had done around 60,000km (according to service records) hence the 110,000km total km on the chassis. Many of the aftermarket parts installed in Japan (suspension etc) was put in at this time so most of those parts are 50,000km old as well. Timing belt was replaced when the new engine was installed along with a lot of other new preventative maintenance parts. Please call me on 0410 334 407 or email if interested, I'm in Melbourne but interstate enquiries are welcome. Also please keep this thread related to enquiries relating to the sale of the car, if people want to post up about me being a traitor etc that can happen elsewhere Price: $21,500. I believe this to be a VERY realistic figure, I know you don't get back what you spend on a car but this car has had a LOT of work done to it. Pictures: There are even more pictures here, not some are from a few years back so some things will be different, please ask if there's any confusion. I also have probably over 1,000 pics of the car documenting work on it and the like. Also please note that I'm hosting pics on the J-Spec Imports server however this is a private sale and has nothing to do with J-Spec Click here for more photos. I'm offering the car to aus300zx.com members as that's where I'd much rather see it go and will not be advertising it elsewhere for a few weeks. Ben
You're a fake and a phony and I wish I never laid eyes on you!!!! Sorry to hear that you are selling Ben but as always, everything you do is for a good reason! Just a note to whoever is interested in this car, it is awesome to drive, I have driven it once and it ran like a dream! Very neat Z!! Good luck with the sale dude!
What a coincidence. I have been reading your tech articles on headlights First of all, thank you for your easy-to read tech posts. It is such a pity to lose another zed-dedicated forum member who has been godfather to all of us. However, separation leads to another new meeting or reunion. Hopefully, reunion in this case.:zlove: BTW, did you chromise(excuse my spelling)or paint the dark grey plastic bit of your headlights with silver colour? Good luck with sale. Wish I had money to buy your zed:| What a beautiful beast
Umm ...... We won't be loosing this particular forum member - as he is the man who created this forum and also administers it. :LOL: - BTW, I had a thorough 'drooling' over this beast at Coona, I think $21,500 is a bargain price and worth more. It is immaculate, the new owner will be extremely lucky. Good luck Ben. :zlove:
Re: Umm ...... omg i was used the search feature to find information on polished plenums and it came up with this thread....i was thinking this was was done some time ago and changed your mind into never selling it...untill i saw the post date :wacko::wacko: this is one sweet ride, awsome example of a zed cant belive your selling though...
Headlights Kamikaze: the headlights were plastic chromed by an electoplater (I looked up electroplaters in the yellow pages). Ben
Arggggh Argggh, why do you do this to me now :S right at the wrong time to be buying another zed....:angry: 12 months time I probably would have bought it on the spot...take an IOU? AB
Gotta say I feel where you're coming from Audiobuzz, I was in exactly the same position a few weeks back. Found the perfect zed but I couldn't get enough cash together. Why can't we all be born with more money
