Hi mate. You can get parts from conceptzperformance and Z1motorsports.

 

The engine bays can be a bit fiddly but being an Na it will be less so.

 

If in good condition they are quite reliable.

here are some pics of it.

Is this a project car or a 'daily'

 

I can see a few parts that will need freshening up.

 

The passenger side scuttle is missing

radiator support needs fixing

various interior pieces

rear tints peeling

the rubber on the windscreen trims has peeled off completely

missing lower half of front bumper?

 

 

You guys in the US get some strange interior colours :lol:

this is something that i'm going to be making my daily as it's my first car ever. ill be doing some refreshes and fixing as i go.

 

the maroon interior with white body color is actually a rarish combination here lol

Hi Buddy, can I ask what sort of money that is going for ?

 

 

Jeff

sure! i got the guy down to $2000 and am giving him $1800 in tools and $200 cash if the car looks good enough to take for myself

Hello and welcome to the club...:thumbup:

Welcome to the club! Could be a nice looking ride with some $ thrown it's way.

welp turns out my car is a literal pos.. i'm trading it for this red zx that's in far better condition. JDM engine, no rust, and yes it comes with a bumper lol.

Two observations. The radiator has had a bit of a vomit, and that's a goofy negative cable.

 

 

Why did you end up buying the white one if you found it was bad condition? Walk away

originally i thought it was in good condition but right as i started to drive it home things went south. brakes locked up a tad when i put ac on t started heating up and there were just a whole bunch of details inside that made it a heap. when i got back to my work i put it on a lift and was horrified to find rust and denting in the middle of the frame as if someone jumped it and landed on something. engine has a misfiring cylinder but i deduced it to an injector. car is not worth my time but is to a guy who parts out Z's for $3000 to $4000. he's got a Z that's in pretty good condition. no rust. i just have to go see it.
