thought this deserves a thread of itself. well, those of you who know the Z history, know where this is from. i'm not gonna elaborate on that. all that matters is my mate bought it, and we are interested in restoring this beauty to the JDM spec that it was in the day it rolled off the production line! 1991 twin turbo 300ZX JDM spec. completely unmolested and in pristine shape. no aftermarket performance mods whatsoever. single owner, imported from australia. registered in 2004. has some interesting features and additions: HICAS 4 wheel steering volk racing 17 inch rims running 235/45/17's eibach suspension the mechanicals seem to be in excellent shape. we're running it for a few days to see what gives. the radiator has been recently fixed, and it didn't heat up so far. turbos take a little time to spool up, but what a neck-snapping ride! modding this seems like a crime to us so we thought we'd keep the internals stock. at the most, a front mount and BOVs. nothing more. the interior and exterior is showing signs of age due to long sun exposure. bubbles on the paint, faded leather cracks here and there. so we'll be fixing all that up. planning to: completely re-do the paint. not changing color, tho. maybe a decent front lip re-upholster the interior, and leather up the gear knob, steering replace all the broken plasticky bits: sourcing parts already the exterior trim is missing. fairlady badges etc, so need those too. in lieu of keeping things stock, the fugly spoiler-on-the-spoiler was removed. it really did look like a growth. and got a decent audio setup. the speaker mounts are tiny. 4" in the rear and 5" in the front. the original bose speakers were shot, sadly, so replaced with infinity components. put a much smaller blaupunkt sub in the trunk, with a neat no-nonsense head unit. might close up that antenna hole if we can't find the power antenna. expect more soon! and to think his other ride is a 12 sri subaru rex!
