Eta:

I put $15k up cause I think I have that into it but I don't know the market so you can let me know if that is crack pipe thinking...

 

I need to sell my Z32, it just isn't a good fit for me anymore. It is in good but not perfect condition; not heavily modified or too hacked up.

107k Miles and runs / drives well. 2 seat, 5 speed, twin turbo with all working bells and whistles. Definitely an older car that needs tlc occasionally but rewards with smiles.

 

Mostly stock except:

Borla cat back

Wolf ecu

enkei rfp 1 / falkens

Z1 / k & n fikter setup

double din head unit

small suspension bits

Hoses, plenty of hoses...

stock airbox, radio bezel, E36 M3, included

Recent brakes : slotted, drilled, braided lines, hawk 5.0? Pads

recent clutch kit from Z1 

Recent A/C service w/ oem chems 

 

$15k grm people

Airbag light came one when i swapped the radio and the clock went out; I obviously cannot fix the previous "install"

been repainted in front and fender gaps suck.

small rust spot by drivers rear tire

small oil leak

ive been enjoying it and keeping up with it but my health has cause me to fall behind... needs a better home. 

Located outside Philly; can work with you for delivery or hosting.

In reply to chandler :

Thanks! I'm totally heartbroken but at the same time hopeful that someone will enjoy it.

 

Remembering more small things:

Rally armor mud flaps

Nismo wheel studs

Leather steering wheel wrap

Ralli art shift knob 

Ram phone mount

Z1 short shifter not installed yet 

Would probably change the oil and then drive it anywhere .

Did a little driving in the Z over the weekend and it is always fun, I just barely ever get a chance...

Good:

Have found t top bags/shades/strap and original floor mats. Also remembered the decent front and rear cameras with rear view lcd and GPS locator.

 

Bad:

The trans mount isn't good and transmits too much vibration. It is better than the last try, but oem firmness might be better than the stiff one in it. 10 minute job.

 

Best:

I feel like it would be best to make a really good deal for an enthusiast who can tinker with it. Lowering the price makes it easier to have some change to clean it up a bit.

 

$10k

I love these. Think it's one of the best looking cars from the 90s.

I was just looking at a stock one with similar mileage rust free with no issues for $17k.

Even with a few bruises it is usually the best looking car in the lot and gets too much attention sometimes...

 

Found a spare ecu & key just now (wrong box, wrong side of garage), think it is a fresh rebuild. The Wolf ecu in it now got rid of that pesky 155mph speed limiter, no need for that! Personally, I felt it  very comfortable up over 170 then backed off.

I've been down in FL, doing FL man things in my FL man car. See:

 

Kinda like the Z, but also very different... but I'm returning to Philly soon so will probably be driving the Nissan again if anyone has questions.

I probably shouldn't be, but I am expressing my openess to any trades. Idk why, why not? No, I do not have any specific needs at the moment and yes, it will annoy my wife to no end... but life is short and I thrive on variety!

 

FYI, I kinda want to hold onto the FiST a bit longer, but my '14 ATS awd turbo Caddy could easily enter the chat:

Since some have asked and I forgot to mention publicly: yes, delivery is available! I'm older than the car so maybe like within 500 miles of Philly? Grand Touring is what she does.

 

 

Not perfect inside, but a pleasant place to spend time.

Other faq: Everything works! Adjustable suspension, hydraulic rear steering, clutch lsd, adj. steering, flux capacitor, both turbo entabulators, etc. etc.

 

I add guzzoline, mqybe oil change or burnt bulb and then destroy tires. Repeat annually.

 

 

^ totally not 100% original, but hasn't been touched inappropriately by too many rough hands. First two owners might not have even touched the hood release...

Fwiw, I haven't forgotten completely that I own this car and still drive it once a week...

 

the valve train Is noisy when cold but she fires right up and I haven't seen any drips underneath lately. Airbag light still intermittent and the stereo is quite crappy. 

 

 

Pic shows that although there are multiple imperfections, this is still a smile generating machine that purrs like a kitten and pulls hard racing to redline.

I went on vacation for a few weeks and return to find that she has spru g another leak! Betrayal for fixing up the FiST, no doubt.

 

idk, it might just be from the drain plug? Not a lot of evidence but the threads are slightly berked and I snugged it up half a turn... honestly just glad it isn't from the rear steering setup!

In reply to a_florida_man :

I got it from Pittsburgh area, practically an Ohio car at that!

 

About 2 years ago I gave it a good wash underneath, sprayed Eastwood rust paint on the sheet metal and hit the body with wax oil, iirc. Didn't see anything that looked worrisome beyond that one spot.

Thanks. 

Just in case you didn't notice this will be my sons car (Jack). There is another thread in the builds forum that documents how all of this crazyness got started....

He's excited for his first autox, drag, and car show.

He gets his permanent license in March, just in time!

Thanks again, Tim. Our only regret is that we didn't have more time to spend with you and your family. See you in March!
