LWW - yes I have all those cars now and my Frontier, but I decided to go old school. The 350Z will soon be up for sale.

Hardworkin - I may sell the wheels. tires are 215/60/15 I was thinking $200 for the set. Plus shipping in your case.

I went and looked at the car. That's better than most people get when listing a car on Craigslist. He said people would make lowball offers without asking anything about the car or they would want to trade their beat up Honda for it. I just looked at it, asked if he was flexible on the price (didn't offer a price) He was pretty firm so I said it was a good car but I'm going to keep looking around.
A month later his wife emails me and asks if I'd be interested in the Z at a lower price because they want it to go to someone who will take care of it. When I got there, he said some other guy seemed a little too "Fast and Furious" and he didn't want to sell the car to him! lol

yup, no more 2+2. None of my Z's are 2+2 now.

Can I just bolt in a back seat from a 2+2 into this car? How can I make my car faster? What engines bolt into this Z?

The profile pic was taken wider that it looks. I just cropped out the appropriate amount.

snwbrderphat540

Bleach

it will be slow. Its a good driver for now. But yes, I will be hindered by time more than money this time around.

(I'm actually working on the Fairlady Z now and then)

rtmorgan

well then get a girl to ride with you and there ya go
my car has a different set of **** all the time jk

i have a wonderful gf of 3 years the only **** i need

KasbeKZ

i've had a gf for 2 1/2 years too. she graces my car with her **** once in a while

snwbrderphat540

so this is the girlfriend thread now eh?

bleach thats good you should spend time on the fairlady it will actually probably pay you off in the end. and since this one doesnt seem to need any attention, just do stuff to it when you get that urge then every body is happy!

rtmorgan

lol only once in a while?

i swear we are always taking my car instead of hers cause mine gets better mpg

KasbeKZ

well we are going to school 3 hours away from each other. and neither of us have our cars at school. mine is off insurance for the year lol

SportBikeMike

Nice purchase man!

Now I need a 280ZX. Snw did you see that clean 280ZX turbo in Chicagoland on craigslist for $2,800?? Hmmmmm.....

I can't part with the TreeFiddy though....

lifegrddude

Very nice Z Bleach! Looks like it's pretty much rust free as well, great find!

SHADY280

why sell the 350? thought that was the one for daily, and you wanted out of the fix and drive game!! although the frontier makes a decent daily.

icice9

i knew he'd come back.. the 280 was his first love... very nice s130 Bleach!

snwbrderphat540

yeah that turbo 240 i think no? silver pretty close to me has been for sale since i put up my 260Z turbo. lol. over 7 months now i believe. i kinda really want to buy it but i made a promise to myself that if i get another Z its going to be a 240 roller chassis race prep's no trans or anything just someone that did a nice rust elimination maybe a cage fuel cell suspension, then i sell my bike get that thing for a steal dump in an RB or SR motor blow 7k in a few weeks rock the 240sx as a daily beater POS and have the bad *** Z for the nice days.... but if you want i can probably look at it for you if u ever get seriously interested. and when we gonna ride? lol i got my ninja you got ur duc.... haha. come up to chicago do some city ridin

skittle

You deff found a diamond in the rought there. And the carpet in the uber rare 79 cirtrus green ZX was black... Man i miss mine

snwbrderphat540

yeah a real diamond in the rought

SportBikeMike

Yeah I saw the turbo 240 but I meant the 280ZX turbo located in Beach Park. He says its from Texas and has no rust and just 116000 miles. Looks like a deal.

Yeah I'd ride up there.....but not Lake Shore Drive, those people are crazy!!

snwbrderphat540

hmmm... was it auto asking like 2.5k for it? i looked at it till i saw the auto thing. yuck! and probably wait till next season before i really hit up the city when theres like bike events to go to also 21 i can get into places, though i wouldnt drink anyways haha.

SportBikeMike

He's asking $2800.I generally prefer manual too, but the automatic 280ZX turbos are actually a little faster. Back then the manuals had problems with turbo lag.

NismoPick

Owning both a manual & auto 280zxt, I have the following to say:

Maybe 0-60 time, but above that a 5 speed can well outrun a 3 speed auto.

I disagree 100%. Stick the clutch pedal in, rev, release... there's no difference from then to now in doing that.

vrocious

i'm so jealous. i wish i could find something like that over here. cpngrats

Bleach

auto turbo was 1 tenth of a second faster to 60. lol... Auto owners just wanted bragging rights. They wont' say that the 5-speed turbo blows past them after that point.
Check 1/4 mile times

going from an NA 3.5L 300hp to this... ya, just a little turbo lag but it runs smoother than my prior turbo 280ZX. that one had a bad wastegate and possibly other little issues.
If I get my ricer BOV, I'll be good with stock boost.

The car has a couple issues I need to look into. Interrior only though. Both power windows don't respond and the talking lady doesn't work! But it has remote keyless entry. (aftermarket)

The heater controls actually work!!! working AC!!! OMG!! ...I forgot to test the cruise control
