It is after much consideration and with a very heavy heart that I have come to the decision to part with J299, my lovely 1992 JDM 300ZX TT Manual in Black, up for sale requiring repair.

Looking for Best offers over £2k and will consider including spare engine for the right price, but don't be shy all offers will be considered.

 

I know this would make a fantastic car again, as it was before an overexcuberant run up the motorway saw the bottom end let go (no 5 or 6 I believe) as I cant see it put through another winter outside (albeit under wraps) without being repaired.

 

There is a lot of paperwork/receipts with this car including the original import paperwork.

 

 

Firstly i would like someone to buy this car for the purpose of repairing and putting back on the road, It has issues but is too good to be broken in my opinion. It needs to go to someone familiar with working on/ replacing engines and some welding to replace outer rear quarter sills. The engine has suffered a bottom end failure due to the common lack of of oil pressure failure, so I would imagine a bottom end rebuild would be required. The engine was subject to a major build before I bought it including 360 bearing turbos and I have a folder of paperwork for parts and work done by the previous owner, including engine/Turbo rebuild, new wiring looms etc.

 

 

My intention was to temporarily replace the engine with a spare motor from an Auto that I picked up, rebuild the original and then swap them back out again, as the spare will require some valve work to make it sound following a leak down test, I have held off this process in the event that I may as well just sort the original out when it was pulled. As it is I cannot embark on this and need to focus on my new business so I have a number of performance spares and the spare engine that may be considered as a job lot for the right price, otherwise these will be sold separately.

 

 

The other main work is the outer sill plate in front of the rear wheel has rusted on one side and is showing signs of bubbling on the drivers also, so these are probably best replaced as this is again a common problem. I removed the rear wing due to disintegration of the foam and was undecided about going for a smooth over or replacing it with something similar so currently the access holes are taped up to prevent any water ingress. The body issues are a result of it standing to long and my procrastination! over sorting it out as it was sound when the engine first let go on me.

 

 

The engine is 3/4 unplumbed and all parts and fixings taken off are complete and boxed. She was fitted with a number of upgrades including the following.

 

Samco Hoses

Apexi Air Filter

Mongoose Full Exhaust

Led Tail lights (no comments)

Mania Racing Deep Dish alloys (receipts provided purchased @ £1200)

 

In addition to this and possibly forming part of a package I have the following.

 

AMS Manifolds inclding gaskets

Zedworld ECU Eprom upgrade

Set adjustable Eibach Coilovers

Brand new boxed 2" SMICS

Semi Polished rocker covers 85% complete

Lightened Flywheel

Lightened Pulley Set including new Belts

VG 30DETT ex auto engine complete (90K) would benefit valve work

Stock Auto turbos need rebuilding

 

Please feel free to contact e with any questions or photos you may require, I have posted the above images to give you a condition of the car as it stands now, I'm not going to hide any issues and any buyer must satisfy themselves of it's condition before coming to collect (trailer required) Any viewing is welcomed and I will do all I can to help with your questions.

 

Cheers, Steve.

 

I may be able to deliver the car to a buyer subject to location and hire of trailer/ mileage/ Time etc.

Price and info added.

It's such a shame because although it looks a very nice car, you will struggle to sell it for much due to needing a new engine and rust.

 

Wish you the best in sale.

Thanks Alic.

 

It doesn't need a new engine, but if it's going to be repaired properly, you would check the crank and then replace all the bearings, the rust is in a common location and has not spread to the inner sills so overall not a big project for someone in the know. I also have a spare engine included in the sale at the right price.

 

I'm appreciative of any positive/ negative comments and i'm realistic about what I want, given the work needed, however no offence intended but I'm not after price or valuation opinions on this for sale thread that might undermine the sale before it gets a fair viewing, so any comments regarding the sale price potential should be left to those wanting to make any offers for the car.

 

I may choose to list the spares for sale separately if there is little or no interest.

I'd be interested in the interior mate.

 

Would you be willing to sell the Eibach suspension seperately?

Just get a custom interior made, Mondo on here does interior retrims. He's not breaking the car. Selling those would make the car as worthless as a stripped chassis imo.

 

N.B Sorry for the last picture I don't know why it's rotated and I cannot take it off!

If you edit and go advanced and 'manage attachments' you can click the X on that attached picture.

I know he's not breaking the car at the minute, he said he would consider it if there was no interest, which is why I mentioned the interior before someone else did. I've broke a fair few cars mate so I'm well aware of what taking out an interior means.

 

Mondos work looks top notch but for the time being I'd like a good set of either leather or blue cloth interior (if anyone has a set they'd like to move on I'm very interested)

 

Cheers

No he said he's consider selling the spare parts lol.. Skim read fail.

 

Still interested on the rob aches though lol

Cheers Alic, will sort it now!

 

I won't be breaking this car fellas, it's too good and if it doesn't go i will find away to keep it and sort it, but that's not my first option at the moment!

Sorry to see you selling Steve but good luck mate.

Have you got a ballpark figure in mind mate?

Sell your bits separate to the car bud. Sorry to see you go this way but I know it's been on the cards as an option to you for a while. Don't just give it away either, I've seen it and it's an alright little car that just needs some time and cash. Good project or an entusiastic spanner hand.

I'd be interested in the lightened flywheel if you were selling the parts separately :)

Of you are considering selling parts I would be interested in the exhaust and the wheels

 

Cheers

I appreciate the requests for parts off the car, but at this time the car is not for breaking, but your welcome to put in an offer to encourage me! However some of the parts previously listed will be up for sale on another thread over the weekend.

I will give first refusal to those members who have already expressed an interest on this thread.

What sort of money are you looking for for her ?

I have a price in mind, but i'm open to sensible offers and if it's close enough ill happily consider it. I know it sounds vague but like anything we sell, I want to get the best price that I can accept the loss on but equally realistic that it has to be at a level that works for a buyer to take it on.

 

I don't want to break it or have it sold to be broken, but if that is the worse case scenario, then I would break it myself.

Just say how much you want matey,its cleaner and will get the desired result for your good self and the buyer faster than all this running around in circles:yes: Hell i might even be interested myself iff i know what you want..

We all talk about passion & keeping our Zeds on the road!

Reality is if my zed will not sell for 2K but breaking nets me £4K that's a no brainer!

There's practically(/reliably) no way you will get £4k from breaking a zed, and breaking a Zed requires alot of time and effort, and Steve has said in previous threads when contemplating selling that he just doesnt have the time, energy or commitment to fix it, let alone break it down into parts.

Bump! Price now added but all offers considered.

 

Thanks.

And the price is ????

Correct!

 

Cannot edit heading text which is daft so price is in main body text

Would £2000 buy it will all the parts lsited in the opening post?

Sorry! but the parts alone are getting on for half that offer and will most likely be listed separately at this rate.

How much for wheels and exhaust and possibly suspension
