    Point taken.

    I still dont see it as flaming though.

    Sometimes its "helpful" to be told "your dreaming"

    Like i said (and i stand by this), if hes SAID he was looking for a project car IN THIS THREAD, then the responces would have been much more helpful.

    Anyway, its all over now. And another one joins the fold.

    i don't believe i flamed the guy. Just told him to be a little more realistic. I've been watching that gtr300 guys car also and if i had the money i'd snap it up like that, just as a project car.
    All i hope is that this guy is willing to shell out for his purchase over the next couple of yours, regardless of the condition. 300zx's aren't cheap to run, maintain or mod.

    Plus there's rego to do as well, it would probably end up costing the same as buying a working one unless you'd do everything yourself.

    It dose go

    As you can see from the pic, i have to respray the drivers front gard and i will also do the other gard,bonet and fron apron because off stone chips, i have a mate that is a painter so he will do it a cost price. Next i need two rims and tyres to match the front ones {stock 16''}. Next a cd player LOL, becaues i dont have any tapes. The guy i brought it off put a new motor from Sydeny Auto Dismantlers for $1825 on the 19/05/07 {i have the invoice] and had it put in. The did not tune it or anything just changed the oil, so it is starting ok but does need a tune up. So i will put new oil,spark pluges,air pod, fule fillter and coolant in it and then take it to someone who know how to tune them. The motor has 65000kms on it, and then rego. Apart from that it will be good to go! I am pay off a house and have two kids ones 4yrs and 4weeks and this is a toy/work car so i wont be going overboard with this car, i spent too much on cars and bikes between the age of 16 too 25 . So i think i did ok with this car! What do you think?
    Thanks Andrew

    Just remember that they aren't a cheap car to maintain and regular maintenence is THE key. As long as no major problems surface i think you'll be okay, but in my experience they aren't a cheap runaround.

    Well i for 1 am gobsmacked that u found a running example of a manual TT at that price

    Well done mate. U have bargain hunting skills that only my wife could equal ;)

    I really hope it works out and hasn't got engine issues, or has been imported for race only, or is stolen.

    Im not saying that to point out what could be wrong (well ok part of me is lol), but Im saying that coz i honestly hope you have got lucky and bagged yourself a bargain

    But yeah, all 3 of the above would be things id be worried about and checking out asap.

    Well done mate.

    Just out off rego

    This car was regoed in NSW untill the 9/07 and i did a reves check and phoned the RTA befor i handed over the cash. Every thing matched, i thought it was to good to be true and i only had to travel 1h and 20min to pick it up.

    wow

    well done buddy, i paid the same for my manual NON-turbo z31:( .

    i think one of the main reasons it was so cheap, was because of the engine swap. reason being its not original. when i was searching through the auto trader a couple of months ago, i found alot of nice cars that had engine swaps. dont get me wrong its great that you can get a car with a better engine than stock for cheaper, its just most likely its not as reliable, there will be issues involving insurance, etc.

    but it seems you won't have as many issues as other cars with swap done, i mean that TT engine is ment for the z32 anyways.:zlove:

    again i congratulate you, at first i didnt believe the thread, i thought it was a troll too.;)

    i payed around 13k, spent like 6 k on rebuild service ect....and now 2 yrs later im selling a perfect zed for 10 gran........but then again all cars are dropping..... my mums lexus gs300 bought for over 20k 2 years ago is going for 15 gran and on top of that we have spend like 3 gran on service etc......

    cars are the most expensive item to maintain, more than a house i recon....

    dont be pissed off ugame, you can make anything sound good in writing..
    when you hear the engine run smooth & quietly with no rattles/knocks/ticks, and see it break traction effortlessly like a z should, handle and have no creaks.. or codes.. or things breaking in the next 6 months..
    thats when you should be pissed off :)

    oh and its an auto not a manual lol (so i doubt it will break traction :p)

    and isnt your engine worked? with all pre-maintenance done?
    this guy still gotta do the 100k service, not to mention it was just some engine chucked in..
