Message I am selling my 1990 300zx NA that I converted to TT. . Starting off, this is a long ad, so bare with me. I will go into detail by sections listed below:

Engine & Mods:

NA block rebuilt with TT factory replacement pistons and stock TT rods with 30k mi. use. The rods were reconditioned and shot peened before assembly. The block was bored and honed .020 over for the pistons, and Clevite 77 bearings were installed with OEM specs. The heads were rebuilt with new lifters, the valve job was performed with a radiused or multi-angle type job, and was blended into the bowl area and the bowl area was polished. No porting or polishing was done, just the combustion chamber. New TT exhaust valves were used in the heads, since they are made of Inconel. The heads were also fitted with JWT Mild Camshafts and JWT HD VTC springs. I have the 1200$ machine shop bill for all of this labor. All gaskets were replaced of course, and new water pump, oil pump, timing belt, along with tensioner and idler pulleys. Stock TT injectors that ohm to spec, are installed, and could use a TT fuel pump though for boosting over 12psi. The engine harness was replaced with a new one from Coz. All coolant hoses were replaced. The intake plenum is polished, the valve covers are powdercoated red, and the PCV valves and hoses were replaced as well. Dupree split DP's and test pipes run into a Greddy Evo 2 exhaust giving a full SS exhaust. Koyo radiator with CZP bracket with holes and Z1 lower radiator hardpipe kit and intake hardpipe kit with T-bolt clamps. JWT intake filter. Generic strut bar. The throwoubt bearing is new, along with a Spec clutch, stage 3, 6 puck design, with 3500 miles on it, new shifter bushings also. The motor mounts have seriously 50 miles on them, I just changed them last week. The ECU is JWT stage 3, and I also have a spare Z1 chip for 555's and single intake to include. The turbos and manifolds are off my JDM TT motor that I used for donor parts such as small misc items for the conversion. This motor is included, see at the very bottom of listing for info. I also have a FULL set of hood mirrors, and also notice in pics the strut tower mirrors I made. The FMIC is an HKS style with polished pipes and Samco hose connectors and T-bolt clamps. 2 connectors are generic blue ones with generic worm clamps. Can be replaced with better ones but no big deal.

Body:

It is 2005 Wrangler Metallic Lime Green with House of Kolor Lime Gold Pearl on top. 3 coats each, 9 coats total with clear included. When the sun hits the car right it will shimmer a gold tint, and these pictures do not portray this visual due to the lighting. There are no dents. The Wings West front bumper was used, and Stillen skirts and rear were molded on using 3M Panelbond. This is what is used by pro's instead of having to weld the quarter panels during replacement. I guarantee you that this will not crack. The TT wing was molded in as well. All panels were removed for painting, there are no seams in the paint from different sessions of masking, or any jams that werent painted, even the engine bay was painted. Jspecs tails along with illuminated lime green "300zx" rear center panel when you turn the headlights on. New third brake light also. Custom center nose panel that I made, and partially painted over carbon fiber VIS Invader hood. I have the 5Zigen FN01R-C in 17x8 and 9 wrapped in Fuzion ZRi 285/45 in rear and 235/40 in front. TT brake calipers and Brembo drilled rotors were used in place of the NA ones. I also have a BMC brace installed. 15% tint all around except windshield. All the moldings outside except the quarter windows because they are in good shape, were replaced with new ones. This was around 500$ before KurumaZ came out with theirs for a tad bit cheaper.

Interior:

I have upgraded the trim to an Imports Extreme Novasuede kit in Dove grey. I had 1/4" thick foam put onto the armrest and panels behind seats for some comfy-ness to my elbow. The dash doesnt peel up like most do, non whatsoever. The passenger side door had a different glue used, so look at the pics to see it, I have to redo it with the stronger glue before selling. I have another skin to use cause Id say itll rip when i peel it off, or atleast stretch. So that 450$ was combined with an 950$ set of seats and sliders from Corbeau that I really hate to turn loose. They are the microsuede black/grey A4 seats. Car could use some floormats, shift boots, and maybe a sub to accommodate the 400 watt Fosgate amp that is wired up. Boston Acoustics are all the way around in the car. Alpine head unit. Nismo shifter. Sparco steering wheel with black leather and black alcantara suede with chrome center, on a generic hub adapter. The plastic pieces in the rear are in mint condition as well, with no scratches except one that is like 2 inches long, but barely noticeable.

The Catch:

The engine has a rod bearing noise. Somehow, there was an unnoticed rear oil pan seal leak that led to low oil level and damaged one of the bearings. HOWEVER! I will be including the JDM TT engine for you to swap parts to or whatever, or use your own engine, or sell them both for one engine, or have one built, or hell, even just fix the bearing and Im sure it will be just fine. It is driveable, although I do NOT suggest it. Its been parked since I heard it. I am selling this car for a down payment on a G35 Coupe. Honestly, Im looking to entertain any SERIOULY INTERESTED person's offer. I have 15k in my head, but Im kinda in a hurry to get rid of it so Im willing to budge some if no one is interested. Id say the value of all the mods included, along with the engine, is worth atleast 12-14k to someone around here. Please call me first for info, if you insist on email, that works too.

Thanks for looking, and here is the lin to the pics: [ http://s146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/turbocharged300z/300zx%20TT/ ]
