Please don't buy a hoopty. 6k is a range where most of the cars are going to just be in general trashed out. They run, but are behind on a ton of maintenance and have cheap hacks and knockoff parts. The body may be all one color, but badly in need of significant body work and a full paint job. The interior has dirty panels, torn up seats, and a worn out wheel. A car like this is not a "fixer upper" it's a money pit. it's at LEAST 10k to make this car respectable. For 9-14k you can get a BEAUTIFUL restored someone's no expense spared pride and joy fast car with all the name brand goodies already on it. If you want to do it all and do it all your way, start with a 2-3k project car, and do it all from the ground up, that way, when you have 10k in the car, it's actually a 10k car instead of a 6k piece of crap car, with 4k put into making it run right, terrible paint and a shit interior. Look, $7k might get it done if you are lucky, but don't be a dreamer. Fixing up a worn out Z is BIG BIG bucks, lots of time, and lots of aggravation, so if you don't have the appetite for that, don't get a fixer upper. The smartest play is to get a really cherry example from the get go, or get one that someone else has already dumped a fortune into the right way.

How to have a good time with your 300zx:
Don't buy from AMS because it's shoddily "designed", cheaply made
knockoff garbage.
Ash makes good stuff, but don't buy from straight from ASH if you
can't deal with him going MIA. Buy his stuff from SpecialtyZ.
Don't put injectors in that aren't 95+ style Nismo or Injector dynamics
Do your timing belt when you are supposed to with oem stuff.
If a wheel doesn't proudly declare where it's made, you shouldn't be
putting it on a 300zx, and if ebay is the best place to get it, that's
concerning. Yes, I am talking
about those XXR's.
Don't put on a FMIC that isn't Tom's. That ebay "apollo style" one
causes a ton of lag and lost horsepower.
Check my classifieds. My Z is for sale.
