Message I've been browsing the classifieds here for some time, even before picking up my first z32tt, but I didn't like the layout of the forum and never posted. I recently found out you could change that, so you'll probably see me posting around here.

A few months ago I bought the Z from a retired fella in North Carolina that had the car garaged for 8 years or so and drove it on the weekends. The car had 94,000 miles and was bone stock besides a turbo timer and a cone air filter. Since then my neighbor and I (mostly him since he's the mechanic) performed the 120k maintenance.

The owner didn't have any paperwork besides the new injectors installed several months ago and a new battery. He wasn't sure on the 60k maintenance and the only thing he could tell me was the previous owner before him had the turbos rebuilt and the car repainted. I would assume the 60k maintenance was performed if the turbos were rebuilt but I didn't have any paperwork and it's peace of mind knowing I'm good for another 60k miles.

The only things I've added to the car that isn't OEM are a Mishimoto radiator with hard piping, silicone charge hoses, AMS pulleys, Ramey Z idler studs, and a Nismo thermostat.

I have an order from Z1 coming in tomorrow for a silicone coolant supply hose to the passenger side turbo that is leaking. So once that gets replaced she'll be back on the road! Also have a 300 degree 3 gauge pod din coming so I can install a boost gauge I have. I will have two caps to go over the open slots until I get my coolant gauge and undecided on the other gauge. Thinking about a clock. Any suggestions?

Here in the next couple weeks I will have a set of 350Z wheels off my buddy's z32. (I think he's a member here, not sure) I HATE these chrome wheels!

Anyhow here she is the day after driving her home.

A couple weeks ago before the first test drive after the 120k around 5am. We worked all day and night to get her put back together.

The other day joyriding before the turbo coolant supply hose started leaking. :(

I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea, but here's my other baby. She's my daily driver and a picture whore. :)
