recently bought a 300zx, at first only bought it to sell it on but after a few miles in it, i fell in love with it

 

a few quick questions

 

1). i am lookin for leather back seats (ideally orange and black ones, but any will do) for the 300zx, but cant find any on ebay etc

 

2). i have decided to keep the car for a year or so was also wondering how much do they sell for, i bought mines for 3k from a friend who is a mechanic

 

its a J reg 3 litre 24v v6 twin turbo (between 420-450bhp)

engine rebuilt

chipped

boost valve

twin 4 inch front to rear exhaust

de-catted

induction kit

leather seats at the front

new brakes all round

full body respray

full bodykit (dont know the name of it)

new 17" 275/40/17 back 235/40/17 at front

101km (65k miles or so)

 

here are the pics, any idea what that bodykit is called, thanks

 

Nice looking car bud.Am i assuming your friend told you it was 420-450bhp.With the mods it has youll be lucky to have 360-380bhp.You can buy retrim kits from nippon autos or the zcenter.or you might get a good price from a trimmer.

Welcome to the nut house buddy.

 

If you find a set of seats then I may be in the market to buy the fronts. I have a shortie so don't need the rears.

 

Just a thought.

kit looks like veilside all round m8

any idea where i can get the bhp tested, i am in glasgow

ive driven a 350bhp car and it doesnt feel anywhere near as fast as this. their are one or two other mods to the car which i couldnt remember

 

what price do u think is realistic if and when i decide to sell it, i can realistically afford this car for 1 year, (im only 19 and insurance quotes are :mac1: )

how can anyone tell whats its going to be worth in a years time??

i meant now, so i have a rough idea

i meant now, so i have a rough idea

£3k-£4.5k imo

Hi fella. You won't be getting that sort of horsepower from standard turbos, injectors or intercoolers, your mate is telling fibs. It looks nice and clean so I would of thought it would be worth around the 4K mark.

Hi, welcome to the forum, nice looking car!

 

As mentioned before you wont be getting anywhere near that kind of HP from that spec.

 

To be honest I think 19 is a very optimistic age to be owning/running a Z, what with the costs of insurance and fuel etc, however, if you can afford it then 'power to you!'

 

And if you do decide to keep it for a year or so I may even buy it off you lol! :D

 

Anyway, welcome to the madhouse bud!
