Hi,

 

I'm from The Netherlands and own a 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo.

 

I bought it about 4 months ago, it was offered for parts, I immediately bought it from internet without seeing the car itself in real.

It has no transmission or engine in it (yet), but I didn't cared.

 

I saved it and want to restore it completely one day to it's original showroom condition.

 

Here are some photos from the day I picked it up...

Most interior parts where stored inside the car, the rear bumper came also with it, so for most part it was complete.

Only one inerior panel is missing and the drivers window. (+the engine and transmission then)

  • I brought the Nissan convertible to the warehouse where it will stay nice and dry. I also removed the mudflaps, looks much better without them...

  • Thanks for the tip!   Here are some more photos after I just washed the car...

All the three pomps are broken, so I need to replace them.

The strange thing is, there is no 12V on them aswell. (?)

 

I polished my Nissan and all the durt from standing still from 7 years is gone now. :)

 

 

Looks very stock? are there any mods at all. If not it is a very clean example.

The Nissan is 100% original (luckely), not changes are made to it.

I only still need to replace the front license plate + frame, the rear spoiler need to be fixed aswell, because it's full with air holes. ( I prefer to keep the real original spoiler on it then replacing it )

 

One day I will restore it and it wil get a new fresh Pearl Yellow color again.

Today it was my lucky day...and also not.

My front tire split in two on the highway...

Luckely nothing damaged and I'm also still in one part. :)

Looks like old age was the problem.

 

I'm going to buy two new front tires now, I already have new ones on the rear.

Is it not possible to remove a post?

 

For some reason my photos don't upload, so I tried again but now only two worked, so it's becoming a little mess now. :)

Unfortunately I'm going to sell my rare yellow 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo, need the money to build a house in Portugal and to buy a new car for there to use.

But I can continue posting, because the new car that I'm going to import will be a Pearl white 1994 Nissan 300ZX convertible!

It's still in the US, but will be shipped to The Netherlands in about the end of August.

On the photos it indeed looks really nice, but I have not seen it in real yet.

Low miles,....damn wish that was true, it has 178 miles on it, but it's well taken care for. (most of it's time serviced at a Nissan dealer)

It does have a small scratch, but ok, it's a car from '94, can't be perfect.

I will repaint the fender later, because I also want to remove the spoiler from it, it looks so much better without it.

I have a question, I found an advertisement from the car I just bought from the last owner, he wrote…

 

The only issue with the car is the EGR valve sometimes sticks and causes the check engine light to come on and off at times..I've read the code and its the only little problem the car has...its a known accurance with these cars but does not cause any problem with the running of the car whatsoever..

 

Any idea or this is a big problem or is it easy to solve?

WOW, yours looks very nice and clean!

Are you going to leave the seats the way they are or going back to black how it originally was?

The egr valve is a basic vacuum operating one and as such cannot activate a fault code or cause an engine fault light. The ECU is not OBC compliant so what that comment about is a puzzle. Also the seller comments it makes no difference to the car, well if it sticks open it will run like a sick puppy, the comments are very odd.

I will see how it runs and or there will come a warning light on.

It must be 100% ok before I drive the car to Portugal, I don't want to get any problems during my trip.
