BigDutts Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Well tomorrow is the day I've been waiting for..my Z32 na manual is arriving!!! :) Being a 80s/90s kid, I've misspent many an hour admiring the shape of the 300s, along with certain shapes on my baywatch posters no doubt! Ha. Anyway, she's in a bad state, and I'm under no illusion that it'll be easy project, but looking forward to working on her over the next few months! Wish me luck! ? ? Matt (West Yorks). Quote
Guest dan300zx Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 welcome. and as long as you have the time and deep pockets you will be fine, in fact if you keep it stock there are plenty of part out there that are cheap as chips things get out of hand once you start looking to uprate stuff. am on this slippy slople now very expensive indeed, good luck Quote
Alic Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Hi Matt, Can't wait to see some pics when you get it, how bad a state is it in? Rusty, bad mechanical shape? Quote
arthur Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I agree with Dan ! I imported my Z at a cost over £5K! I would not buy a 300z that needs loads of work! I hope the first thing for you is the body is in good nick:scared: Good luck Quote

BigDutts Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 Hey! It needs a new bumper, fan, radiator, and bonnet fo sho'. I'm confident it will be worth it though..got it as a good price and have been pricing up spare parts online. At the min, have no plans to mod after already spending quite a bit on my Civic...

Baz Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Wow, late delivery or what!! I sold a Pulsar once and the guy didn't collect with his truck until 3:30am! Wanted me to leave it in the Asda car park down the road with the key on top of the wheel - no chance pal! Quote
