Hey guys, after over a year of owning this car, the time has come to sell. It's not been easy going, with a hell of a lot of maintenance performed whilst i've owned the car, but it is running sweet as now. See below for list of maintenance done at mechanics and maintenance i've done myself. sorry for bad quality pic, will get some proper ones taken tomorrow. Quick details: 105k Metallic black, 2+2 targa (with shades!) Auto J-spec (digital aircon, power switch, etc) QLD rego til july alarm and stereo Work done: 100k service (2 years / 10k ago)- rechecked and replaced idler pulleys in 2008 (AMEC) Hyper flex rear bushings kit replacement including removal and refitting of rear subframe (AMEC) plenum pull and rear main seal (AMEC) replace diff (AMEC) replace p/s pump (AMEC) replace starter motor (AMEC) replace CTS (AMEC) TPS adj and removal of AIVS (AMEC) Transmission mount replacement (AMEC) replace tailshaft centre bearing (AMEC) Stuff i've done: replace o2 sensors bypass detonation sensor fix up all injector connectors (ie remove all corrosion, re-crimp female connector, and re-fit) fix up all other connectors in engine bay as above replace tps (correctly adjusted) fit a series 2 ptu Recent oil changes- engine, diff, tranny remove valve body from auto gearbox, replace upper solenoid pack (the main cause of gearbox probs), test and replace valve body replace drop resistor replace battery Overall, now this is a great car with most of the crappy problems that happen to a 300zx dealt with. Fuel economy is great and car starts on the button, idle is spot on, and power is there throughout the rev range. No fault codes stored on both ECU and gearbox ECU. There's about $6k in major recent receipts within the last 12 months for work carried out, plus all the stuff I have done to it too. Bad bits: small chunk on front guard, scratches on front bumper (should re-spray easily enough, couple of little dents on bodywork, no boot carpet, slight vibration from tailshaft around 80kmh (centre bearing was not balanced properly when fitted) which I may be able to get sorted this week. please contact me on andrewpape @ hotmail.com for more details. Car is in West End, Brisbane. Will go on carsales.com.au in the next week or so. more pics to follow soon.....
Sorry dude, part exchanges / swaps will be considered as i've not got a replacement yet, but am looking at something more modern (with working water pump ). Email: andrewpape @ hotmail.com Have also been looking at the 350z / RX8s too
with smoked indicators, side reflectors and the red and white tail lights (thats like what? $600 all up, if that) It would be a prime car.
This is back up for sale as i've bought an old XB falcon so need to make room! Done a bit more work since it was first up for sale: repairs / maintenance: replace auto box with a solid TT auto box replace 4 injector connectors which were a bit corroded / cracked replace rear shocks (doing this at the weekend) fixed up the tailshaft centre bearing (no vibration at all now) Cosmetic: Caz 300zx seat covers for both front and rear All interior tweed trim replaced with good quality black suede (looks awesome- will get some pics take over the weekend). clear side repeaters now which gives it a way more modern look. also forget to mention it has the Navan auto shifter which is pretty sought after. Scrubs up nicely! Open to reasonable offers. Cheers
Nice looking Zed I wish it was for sale when I had my money.Oh well not to worry I bought a holden commodore VX insteed.Good luck with the sale
Updated photos Taken some new photos today after giving it a bit of a wash and cleaning up the rego plates- man they were filthy! Also showing some pics of the new interior. It's black suede but in some photos it looks kinda grey. Basically all tweed panels have been recovered in suede. Looks good! Also got a boot carpet now and front bumper scratches have been fixed up.
last chance- this is going to sell for $8,500 this weekend or $9k with spares, sub, etc. comes with roadworthy certificate (dated today) and rego until mid-july. ready to drive away. email me if interested!
