For sale my twin turbo SWB non-targa 'Slicktop', 1991 JDM, imported '98. Currently third owner since import. Previous owner 2002 until 2014 when odometer indicated 57,750 miles (92.4k km). Current odometer 60.6k miles (97k km). All previous MOTs available together with invoices, receipts and original Japanese Service Book. Externally the car appears largely original and internally, refurbishment of worn cloth has necessitated some deviation from the original all grey tweed.

 

The car is fitted with four speed three mode (for JDM) automatic transmission with overdrive, cruise control, hydraulic HICAS 4WS, Air Con., electrically adjustable and folding door mirrors, electrically adjustable drivers' seat and manually adjusted passenger seat. The original chime function and speed limiter have been disabled, otherwise all equipment works as it should. The interior is unmarked and finished in part tweed cloth trim and the unmarked black OEM carpet is fitted with 'Fairlady' over-mats. A space saver wheel is carried under the rear compartment floor together with an OEM tool kit. The original pattern JDM non-staggered OEM wheels have been retained and powder coated (02/16) to resemble a bright polished metal finish. The tyres are Goodyear 'Efficiency' tyres (03/16) which have probably less than 1k miles wear.

 

It was re-sprayed in '15 maintaining the original OEM colour (a photo record is available) with doors, bonnet, bumpers and wings all removed to facilitate the process. The only corrosion found was at the sill extremities and this was cut out and new metal inserted. The original rear spoiler was replaced with a similar pattern copy. Wings, doors and under-body were, and are Waxoyled. The body panels and doors continue to show no dents, dings and the only blemishes are a couple of difficult to notice stone marks. The rear light clusters and rear centre panel have been replaced with late model versions. The centre panel has been modified to incorporate brighter reversing lights and also to now include a dual rear fog light, whose UK legal requirement had been addressed with a single separately mounted after market lamp. Another subtle modification causes the rear '300zx' logo to illuminate by means of an embedded electro lume panel. More generally in the electrical area, detailed effort has gone into checking cabling (for abrasion) and all connectors, sender and transducer terminals for corrosion or loose fit; particularly for those items in the engine compartment. Z1 sourced replacement bonnet hinge covers, rubber stops and stay bar clips were fitted '18. Seat bolsters, headrests, door cards and the between seats glove box lid have been recovered in a mid-blue tweed cloth. The boot compartment is fitted with an OEM pattern carpet together with supplementary removable protective carpeting to the sides of rear luggage compartment to prevent loose carried items from scuffing the exposed trim surfaces.

 

Behind the internal body trims and door cards and under the carpet, the car is free of any corrosion. Similarly, underneath the car, the coverage, adhesion and durability of the under-body sealant has protected the main floor pan, but as mentioned some repairs to the sill ends was necessary.

 

The previous owner fitted a separately mounted cooler in the auto transmission fluid circuit to bypass the less efficient unit adjacent to the main radiator matrix. The reliability of the ignition system was also improved by replacing the Series 1 Power Transistor Units with Series 2 units and the fog light bulbs were also replaced with higher power types.

Info update and price revision

Having seen this car at Jimmer's a number of times, I can vouch for its condition, it's a very nice example and something like this is very hard to find.

Looks Great. :thumbup1: Rare to get a slick top TT in this condition.

Wow nice zed good luck with the sale hopefully you get that price for it as it would pave the way for higher prices for shorties.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragement!!

No expert on Z prices, but for 9k this look like great value. Especially as its a TT Slicktop
