1996 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo 5-Speed NO RESERVE CLEAN T-Top Super Black

Let me start this off by saying something that nobody else currently selling a 300ZX will say; I don’t like Nissans. Never have probably never will. And this is a NO RESERVE auction so whatever it goes for it goes for. But since high school (when these cars were newish) I wanted to own 1x of each of the 4 Japanese Titans that started everything relevant to imports and turbo cars (including the Fast & Furious). You can bag on that movie all you want but no one can deny it made street racing in the USA much more illegal than it ever was, nd it changed the car culture forever. The Japanese had their shit together in the 90’s and Bill Clinton was a boss (you also cannot deny this). Even though 90’s music generally sucks compared to the 80’s, he cars got better despite their lack of fender flares (I love fender flares). And we received the MK4 Supra, he FD RX7, he 3000GT VR4, nd the Z32 300ZX TT. Owning any one of these cars will make you better at life in general, hey are all as fast as you want them to be and legitimately run off dreams. They will make you rich, andsome, ore interesting, nd cure cancer + super aids (disclaimer none of this is true). So now I can afford these cars which brings us to today. Today I decided to give one back to the rest of the world. When I saw a 1996 300zx Twin Turbo come up for sale nearby I had to buy it. I don’t even like Nissans BUT I know enough about them to be dangerous and I knew this was the last year they were offered in the states, hich makes this rare and desirable (not to mention it is super black on charcoal black leather). It has low miles, t sat at a military base doing nothing for years, ome kids dumped a ton of money into it, have no interest in owning it but I do have an interest in respecting what these 4 titan cars mean to me and what they should mean to you. It isn’t perfect, nd it is priced accordingly, t needs a true Z32 lover to do whatever only acceptable in Bangkok things Nissan people do to Nissans (no offense, ut yes some offense was meant there).

Exterior: The outside of this car shines almost as much as the inside. It’s black, o be specific it is Nissan KH3 Super Black only used on the Z32 300zx from 93-96. There were only 245 made with this exterior/interior color combination in 1996 that were twin turbo. The paint is in great shape, o clear coat fading or rust issues. With a simple wax/buff it will shine like new. The only issues to note are the 2 dents it has, ne to the hood, ne to the fender, h and it bumped into something on the left rear bumper. Other than that the car has no damage, nd it is wreck free on the Carfax. All the lights, ipers, oors, atch, irrors, -Tops etc…. work like they should no issues there. The power antenna needs some love if you want it to go up (radio reception works fine). I have no idea what brand the wheels are, ut they are staggered and look f’in sweet. Of course being a 96 it has the later version spoiler which (disclaimer) will make you a cooler and generally more interesting person. There is some sticky stuff near where the spoiler mounts that needs to be cleaned off from where someone redid the seals, asy detailing fix. All of the glass is clear and the T-Tops + other glass has the matching VIN# etched into them! The undercarriage has no rust or damage. It’s a pretty badass looking car for its day and one of the original 4 Japanese Titans.

Interior: If leather could make you smell better this car would do that for you. The interior is darn near perfect. Still has the leather shades under the T-Tops, he original T-Top covers, dash cover, brand new looking shift knob and boot. The dash is perfect, he door panels are like velvet, he floor mats could use some love but the carpet underneath is in great shape. Original spare jack and tools are all there including the original luggage cover. All the lights, unctions, adio, eat, tc… works power seats cruise etc… A/C does not because the super awesome previous owners thought it would be faster if they took the compressor off but it is included w/ the car to get it going again. The seats have been treated with leather conditioner their whole life, hey are near perfect shape, nly one nick in the bottom of the passenger seat. It smells good, t looks good, t feels good, nlike most women that like you currently. It even has the most patient door ajar warning beep I’ve ever heard.

Mechanical: So here is where it gets fun, irst off let’s start with the current mod list.

• Garrett 525 Turbos

• Z1 One piece driveshaft

• Earl’s oil cooler

• Z1 Intercoolers

• Gates racing timing belt

• Z1 stainless steel downpipes

• CX Racing radiator

• EGR Delete kit

• Jim Wolf ECU tuned to the 525 turbos and injectors

• 615cc Injectors

• Stage 2 Clutch

• Lightweight flywheel

• AEM tru boost controller

• Z1 Intake Hard pipes

• K&N Cold Air Intake

• MSP Cast Turbo Manifolds

• Z1 silicone hoses

• New OEM High pressure power steering line

• New OEM Clutch slave cylinder

• New OEM Clutch high pressure line

• New OEM Water pump

• New Alternator

• New Power Steering Pump

• New Belts

• New Upper end gaskets (not head gaskets)

• New Rear main seal

• New pilot bearing

• New throw out bearing

All that being said the car smokes off the right bank, ouldn’t tell you why. Don’t know why, on’t know how to find out why, on’t care. I just figured its because it is a Nissan VG30 and not a 2JZ. Good news is no check engine light, o other warning lights, ever gets above half on the temp gauge, il pressure is strong, t pulls strong, side from the smoke it runs pretty good. It is blue smoke, t is burning oil from somewhere. One of the belts needs to be tightened up it squeals. The clutch is new, he trans shifts smooth and firm like new, he suspension is good, he brakes are good, he everything else is good! It could use an alignment, he tires are staggered and have good tread (half life). It might need an engine rebuild, t might need a PCV valve, r one of the 525 turbos was built wrong who knows. It would probably drive home, nd kill all the insects on the way there. Win win. Has 4 wheel steering, as electronically adjustable suspension, as a couple turbos, ome intercoolers, ll the cool shit.

Thanks for looking and good luck bidding, gain this is a no reserve auction so whatever it goes for it goes for.
