Thanks for the info, that's very interesting. I guess if I could get around £7K or close then I would sell as I just can't store everything! I'd love to wait and see the price rise but looking at a property abroad so it's a question of priorities I guess.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Yes I know what you mean on the colour! When I first had it painted it was just about the only car in that colour and stayed that way for a few years. It became popular later but now colours and wraps have moved the game on. The PPG lacquer is just the hardest surface of any paint I've encountered and so easy to keep looking good. These days modern paint is p**s poor in comparison.

Hi Gaz I'm really out of touch these days on their value to be honest! I was hoping someone here would tell me! Lol. I got it in 2001 and spent a fortune on it what with full engine work and bodywork. Then watched the prices fall away. I think it probably owes me £18K inc the purchase price but I know you never get it back. Trouble is I hate selling anything but you just run out of space in the end don't you! Guess I'm a hoarder at heart! Lol.

Hi Alic. Thanks for the reply. Had loads on an old computer but the hard drive failed and lost them and a whole lot more. Will have to take some more but do I need so many posts before I can put them up? Colour similar/same as one of the guy's on the forum with the flip paint! Its "L" reg 1994 should have said. Do you reckon the value will rise in the near future?

Just like to say hello to everyone from a new forum member. I have recently rejoined having lost all the login details that I used a few years ago. I have a UK manual 300zx TT and have owned it since Xmas 2001. Car was supplied from new to a banker in London as a company car on a 3 year lease (nice job to get a brand new 300ZXTT as a company car hey!!!) and was subsequently purchased by him from the lease company at the end of the 3 years. Since owning the car I had the engine and Turbos stripped and rebuilt with all new parts by a superb mechanic friend of mine, as a precaution with the intention of keeping the car for ever.( I was amazed that when we stripped the engine with 99K miles on it that there was still slight evidence of the original honing marks in the bore and the bore tolerances were still within Nissan spec of manufacture! Shows what a good engine design these are. I also had the car fully stripped back to the shell and repainted by another mate who was a body shop manager in a multiflip by Dupont and lacquer by PPG. The mileage is 107K ish, having done only 8K miles since the rebuild some years ago. I sent the ECU to the US to get the chip upgraded by JWT (I was told at the time this was about the best chip upgrade), had a custom exhaust made by a local company with "X" pipe and fitted Tokico 5 way dampers. I have kept the car all these years believing that one day soon these will become a valuable classic and that I will be sitting on a fortune! Sadly as yet this has not happened and I'm wondering if you guys in the know have any thoughts on this! Any opinions welcomed. Regards Dipstick. :biggrin:
