Act: 1985 Nissan 300zx

[Bullet32]

Hi all,

The time has come to part with what was once meant to be another project car...

I have moved house and dont have the time, money or room to work on 2 projects at once anymore... My R32 has to take preference.

So, reluctantly I am hoping that an enthusiast will take it and start working on it from where I left off...

Details:

Red 1985 300ZX non-turbo Australian release.

Drivetrain, suspension and brakes:

Automatic

Shifts perfectly. Fully rebuilt, have receipts.

Suspension is tight, shocks, springs and bushes were replaced a few years ago.

Steering is tight and direct - new rack boots installed, new power steering belt and fluid.

Brakes are perfect, Calipers overhauled front and rear. Rear discs are brand new and fronts have lots of meat on them.

Wheels are stock 15"

Engine:

VG30E 3.0 V6

Strong motor, doesnt blow smoke, regularly serviced.

Exhaust manifold gasket needs to be replaced (gasket supplied) on the drivers side.

Needs a new starter motor.

Interior:

Light brown colour, seats and carpets are ok condition but worn. Dash is cracked but not faded.

All electrics work (power windows, guages etc.).

Autotechnica sports steering wheel and boss kit (have the original wheel as well).

Alpine CD / MP3 player and aftermarket speakers.

Exterior:

Paint is a bit faded, needs a good polish (photos below are after a good hand polish).

Bumpers have some scrapes but nothing too serious.

Body is fairly straight (some small dents), no fiberglass repairs or bog.

Summary:

This a good example of an 85' Z, is comfortable to drive, goes well and will make an excellent cruiser for someone who can put in a little work to get it back to excellent condition.

As I said before, the only reason I am selling is because I have moved house and simply cant finish the work I started on it.

I have spent thousands repairing and replacing most of the original parts but there are still some things left to do... The starter motor needs replacing because it works whenever it decides to, there is a short in the headlight wiring somewhere (low beams work fine) and the exhaust needs some gaskets replaced - thats about it (I think).

It even comes with the original equipment leather pouches for the targa roof!

I bought this car for $2,500 and have spent at least that much again restoring it....

All I am asking for without rego is:

$1,200 ono

I can re-new the rego for extra if you want.

The car is at my house located in Canberra (south)

Leave a post in this thread if you are interested and I will reply as soon as I can.

Cheers,

Mick

oh oh so tempting...

My R30 is going to be offline for a little while to 'service' the engine, apparently the engine exhaust extraction fan wasnt fitted when it came to australia so I need to bolt it all on....

how many km?

will it pass rego inspection without problems? (i guess exhaust gasket...)

tyres good?

any interior & engine bay pics??

I have a spare engine that has an extra set of camshafts AND a single exhaust extraction fan... VG30det FTW!

I havent checked the Kms recently but I think its at about 300 thou...

1. It should pass rego without issue once the electrics and exhaust gaskets are fixed.

2. The tyres have plenty of tread, one of them is worn unevenly due to a bad alignment that has since been fixed.

3. No interior or engine bay pics... I'll have to get the camera out again.

There is very little left to do to get this Z running almost like new again... I just dont have the space to finish it.

this is one neat car for its age and km's (if you ignore the cracked dash!). But seriously, this would be a great daily as its very comfy to drive and has enough power to get you out of trouble! free bump...

Thanks Luke

OK, I really need this gone now...

Make an offer... No reasonable offers refused
