Hi Everyone,

Newbie to the 300zx world but not to resurrecting unloved cars.

My 300zx is a UK 1994 TT in Nissan Sapphire Blue (TK3). It is one of the last uk cars, I think there are 11 with later vins

At some point it had the Z Centre wide body kit fitted to it.

Between 2015 and 2017 it had a manual conversion.

In the last few years it has passed between perspective owners who have all failed the car leaving it in the sorry state it is in today. The car came with an amazing history file with paperwork for everything done to it from 1994 till 2017

As you can see from the pictures below the decline of the car from an amazing looking machine it was to what it is today.

As of right now the car has the usual rust issues and it wont start, looks to be a fuelling problem. That's probably just the start to what other horrors we might find.

I have sent her off to Jimmer at Powerzed, had a really good chat with him and I trust it's in the right hands to bring this car back to former glories.

 

You can see some examples of cars I have saved or saving towards the bottom of this post. They include an NSX (gone but not forgotten), RX7, Ferrari 360, Porsche 911, Toyota Supra (now sold) Fingers crossed I can help save this Z.

History

 

Cars I have help save previously

NSX - wouldn't run above 4000 RPM. It was previously a Knightsracer Show car with Lambo doors.

New loom and a few other bits later, fully working. Took it on 2 trips to Monaca as well as separate trips to Amsterdam and Paris (x2) and it never skipped a beat.

 

The Supra NA-T came to me with a damaged front bumper and poor engine tune. Got the bodywork looking ok and the car running at 450 bhp

 

The RX7 was in a sorry state, someone had tried to make it into a drift car.

This is the current state of play on the RX7, still lots of work to do to get it to a level I am happy with

My Porsche 911 was an unloved high mile example which was on the market for 6 months at £6k around 7 years ago. RMS was leaking and there was some Bore score. It was black but the paintwork was all over the place.

sorted the issues out and 30k miles later (155k miles) it is still running like a dream.

 

 

My 360 had sat for 4 years, leaking all over the place. Its fully running now and all that is left is to sort out is the AC which involves replacing a number of missing parts and the backlight on the instrument cluster.

 

 

This is the only car I couldn't save

Will be wonderful to see this car restored to her former glory. Pop the VIN into the search field to find out the build date etc:

If you PM the VIN, I will add it to the database of UK specs I am compiling.
