I am relisting my 1985 Nissan 300ZX base coupe, manual transmission at my rock bottom price. 114k on the clock. This car is a true time capsule and has had extensive work done to it to ensure it's a reliable driver for years to come. Adult owned and adult driven. Over $11k invested. I bought a later model 370Z and this one has to go. Have owned several Z cars over the years. Adult owned and driven. Interior is 9/10. No cracks in the dash, and I have a dashmat protecting it. Several updated odds and ends, new leather upholstery on the seats. Power mirrors, windows and locks work as they should. Paint is original with a few minor blemishes one should expect after 31 years, but it shines nicely and shows very well. Original wheels shine up pretty good too. T tops work and seal properly, all weather stripping still soft and supple. I have the original T top bags in perfect condition and I also have the original owners manual. Zero rust underneath. This is a dry AZ car. New parts at 100k: -New AC compressor and retrofit to R134A refrigerant. AC blows ice cold... better than my new 370z even. -New brake master cylinder and soft lines -New clutch master and slave cylinder -New front and rear main seals on the engine - no drips, ever. -New alternator and belts -New signal and headlight switch -New fuel pump and tank sending unit for the gas guage -New Alpine head unit -New tires at 102k -Redline MT synthetic oil in the transmission at 102k. This is a GL4 spec oil made for Japanese manual transmissions. Trans shifts silky smooth. -Full suspension overhaul at 106k to include all NEW polyurethane bushings throughout, new KYB shocks and struts, new strut insulators, new strut bearings, new tierod ends, balljoints, and new rear coils to eliminate the old Z squat. I also added a Cuzco strut tower brace. -New rear calipers and new ceramic pads throughout at 106k -4 new kicker 6.5" speakers in the stock locations at 106k. I only play 80s music in this car! -New fuel lines, fuel filter, and all old HVAC vacuum lines replaced at 107k -New leather seat upholstery and new rear louver at 107k -New OEM E brake cables and new CV boots at 108k - hard parts to find! -New clutch, catalytic converter and muffler at 108k. Over $1500 invested here. -New fuel pressure regulator at 109k -New O2 sensor at 111k -New timing belt, water pump, radiator hoses, coolant head temp sensor and wiring harness, new valve cover gaskets, new MAF, cap, rotor, plugs, wires at 112k. This was over $2k alone. Have receipts! -'87 300ZX ECU upgrade at 113k. This offers better factory fuel curves and about 5 more hp than the original and works with all existing sensors. Still have the original if you want to swap back. -New K&N cold air intake and idler pulley at 113k. Factory intake will go with the sale. The car gets synthetic oil changes every 3k miles since I have owned it. It passes Arizona emissions easily, doesnt use a drop of oil and doesnt leave any puddles or spots on the driveway. I have thousands more in receipts for this car than my asking price. Have some stock take off and extra parts and a Haynes repair nanual to go with the car as well. Will provide all receipts for items listed above and the original owners manual as well. Documentation is extensive. The few blemishes are shown in the pictures. There is a small ding in the right front fender, a touched up scratch on the nose next to the Z emblem, and slight bubbling of the paint for about 2 inches along the top of the windshield from an improper windshield installation. The windshield has since been replaced and the area under the mounting was hit with primer to prevent further rusting, however to make the car perfect, this would have to be repaired. Metal is solid underneath. Frame rails are dented from previous owners using as jacking points, but there is ZERO rust underneath, and the car is undercoated to boot. I've disassembled and reassembled all suspension components which gave me a good opportunity to spend time under the car - it's solid and rust free....there's not even any surface rust anywhere. Cruise control and power antenna are non operable. Cruise comes on when switched on but does not hold speed. May be an easy fix but status of that is unknown. Antenna can be raised by hand still, just like a normal telescoping car antenna. Car comes with a glove box full of 80s mix CDs for you time machine listening pleasure! Bid with confidence. This is a solid car that can be driven across country today. Clear Arizona title ready to go. Just needs a notary. Please, no lowball offers. I am at my bottom price on this. Any less and I'll just keep it. I have over $11k invested in this car and $4k offers are ridiculous.
