Hi Guys,

*

Basically I bought a ZX TT from somebody on here a while back - the one pictured below.

*

I have suffered a broken hard drive and lost all of the spec so I don't know any of the modifications !!*I'm not really completely clued up so it's not like I could just look in the car and work it out - and I am considering possibly selling it so I'd need the spec for that!!

*

I was just wondering if Sandy or anyone else on the forum could help me out if they have the listing saved by any chance etc

 

The picture below is from the sale ad and is all I could find....Hoping somebody recognises it!

Ah yes thanks Daffy - that's certainly the original ad but unless i'm missing something it doesnt have the spec on :(

 

I know the pistonheads one did but they take them down obviously...

Have no probs with your needing the spec for the zed, but as a regi user, in order to offer for sale or to sell you need to be a subbed member mate.

Will leave as is at the moment, but any mention of sales and it will be closed instantly.

Any problems with this please let me know.

Stu

Is the full spec not in the magazine article you have?

SandyZ and before him Steve300zx our old club secretary, here is the original sale thread post, hth.

 

The time has finally come for me to part company with my pride and joy.

I only plan to advertise my car on this site, as I would really like the car to stay in the club and not get the arse ragged off it. We’ll have to see how it goes.

 

Members who have seen my car, know exactly what condition the car is in. Those who haven’t seen it only have the photos in my rides to pass judgement. IMO, it is impossible to appreciate the actual condition of the car without actually seeing it up close. The car IS in concourse condition. It has won a total of 20 trophies over the past 4 years which is another indication of what the potential new owner would be getting for his money.

 

It is also worth remembering that the car didn’t win the trophies 4 years ago. It won the trophies year after year, proving that the car is not a ‘has been’. In fact the biggest award it has ever won was last August, when it won the ‘best in show’ at JAE. It was up against a couple of £70K - £80K Skylines and wiped the floor with them, not because it was a better car but because of the immaculate condition the car was in.

 

IMO this is one of the, if not, the best condition TT manual in the club today and a true enthusiasts car.

 

The car is a 1996 model year 300ZX Twin Turbo manual Japanese import.

 

History:

 

3 years (1 owner) in Yokohama Japan. I have ALL the Japanese documentation, service books, manuals etc.

The car was imported in Feb ’99 as a grade 4.5 import by the Crowne Motor Company in Henley on Thames. It had 19000 miles on the clock at the time.

The new owner (lived in Tunbridge Wells) had the car for the next 5 years and I also have all the documentation from his ownership. The car was always garaged and never used in winter. He serviced the car regularly and did a full cambelt service after the car was 5 years old (31000 miles).

I bought the car in October 2004 (54000 miles) and have maintained the car, regardless of expense. I did another full cambelt change at 56000 miles, as it was almost 5 years since the previous one. The car now has 67000 miles on the clock.

 

I won’t bother writing all the mods I have carried out, as the full detailed list is in my rides section, however, to give you some idea of the expense the car has enjoyed since my ownership, here are some examples:

 

Full leather re-trim by Kish Exceutive Ltd. ~ £2000

New wheels and tyres ~ £1600

Exhaust, decatt and downpipes ~ £1000

New front brakes (6 pot) ~ £1300

Max Street clutch and RPS Segmented flywheel ~ £800

Blitz SUS INduction Apexi BOV's ~ £400

PACE Intercoolers ~ £600

Big ICE install, including a lot of custom build ~ £5000

Koyo radiator ~ £400

99 Spec upgrade (bumper, lights etc) ~ £800

Blitz springs, Koni adjustable shocks ~ £700

Camber arms, tension rods, anti roll bars ~ £600

Clifford 650P Cat 1 alarm, Parrot Bluetooth, HID conversion ~ £900

Momo handbrake, gearstick, steering wheel and boss ~ £400

New exterior trims ~ £400

Profec B Boost controller, SE chip ~ £300

Carbing front brace, throttle cover, Injen hard pipes ~ £600

 

Please read my rides spec list for the rest.

The total spend on the car, including purchase price is approaching £33K

 

In terms of performance, the car has been Dyno’d on three occasions and all have come out at around the same figures (all three were different testing facilities). It is around 340 RWHP, 410 FWHP and 395 Torque.

 

Probably loads more to write, so I may add further details later.

ah thats brilliant thanks groover and everyone else that helped!

 

Sorry Stu I didn't mean to infringe on any rules

No worries bud, its a shame you are thinking of selling as its a superb example, when Steve had it. If you are serious about selling, it will be worth your while subscribing and selling here, as a zed of that calibre will be more appreciated.

If you want to sell that great zed on here then get yourself subbed mate.

I got excited when I saw a tt zed forsale on here then,,,, and I saw the spec of the car and cried haha bit out of my price range that's for sure! Beautiful motor though!

i was buying that off of sandy but i left for the dust bowl and thats why i ended up buying the convertible . i loved everything about this car.

Sandy may swap it for a MQ-1B Predator........?:shifty::biggrin:

i would swap it for my kawasaki zx12r ninja lol.

Funny how everyone just remembers it as Steve's car. lol

 

andypes3 Sandy bought this car from me round about Sept last year I think I will still have all the details you will want (if you are keeping the wheels I have a couple of these as well), stick your email address up and I will send the spec from when I sold it to Sandy. The link below will take you to the last for sale thread by me which has most of the info you are looking for!!

Ime sure its frustrating mate but i think he was just more of a poster and got imbedded in members heads...looking at your post count since 2006 you seem a man of few words which sometimes on here is a good thing:laugh::winkiss:

LOL....

 

.....But yes, everyone remembers it as Steve's car for those very reasons. Plus he was club secretary back in the day; not to mention it was Steve who had most (if not all) of the work done in transforming that car into what it is today. For a long time it was one of the all time favourite Zs on the whole forum - and those votes were cast during Steve's ownership!!

That's all great thanks mate - My email is andycem34@hotmail.com any more info would be appreciated.

 

Cheers
