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.
