I'm not disputing any of that, or doubting any of you. I'm simply saying I may get lucky by finding one that needs mechanical work instead. From what I've seen of the zeds so far, they're no more complicated than the skyline, sometimes less advanced in fact, and I've fixed a fair few skylines already, so should be able to muddle my way through. Parts appear to be cheaper too.

 

I've said my reasons for my budget and why I refuse to pay any more for the initial cost of the car, why I'm looking at these cars, and what I'm HOPING (not EXPECTING) to get for my money, so can you guys maybe just keep an eye out instead of just giving me shit?

 

But when someone finds what seems to be a nice example, you tell us that it's not worth the asking price as you can get far better cars for the money!

I'm not going over my budget, and simply attempted to explain my reasons. People weren't trying to tell me about this car, people were using this thread to take the piss since it's known I want to spend as little as possible and that doesn't appear to be acceptable on this forum.

It's acceptable, but you're NOT going to get a 500bhp+ rust-free Zed for the peanuts you're prepared to spend.

 

And before you try and convince anyone that that's NOT what you're after, you did once famously tell Ian Greenfield that a 400-odd bhp example still wouldn't be fast enough for you... ;)

Ian's isn't over 400bhp, according to him it'd need a map first. To get an idea on acceleration, sub 400bhp zed's seem to do high 13's on the quarter mile at best. My skyline was quicker than that, and still wasn't enough. What I actually said was I'd ideally want it to an over 400bhp to give me a chance of enjoying it, acceleration wise at least.

 

I've not once said I expect over 400bhp for my budget, just that I want as much as possible.

Problem solved

haha need some spacers on the wheels though

I think it makes sense to spend 4.5k on a decent 300zx, because regardless of your budget and mechanicals skills you Will end up spending more than that if you really have a passion for this car,

It seems to me you have no passion for the z32

Already got these two:

So true! I paid a high price for my NA only because it was too good to not buy it, I've spent probably 2.5k already doin bits

I'm not there yet, but with any luck once I have one that'll change. After being in Ian's ones (yep, been in Zebedee too), they do feel a nice car to be in, regardless of the pace they're going.
