Welcome to ZDriver!

If you have $10k-$15k to spend, buy a 300zx Twin Turbo, and use the other $5k-$8k for mods... then you don't need to do a motor swap.

 

do this

 

I have decided to stick witht the twin turbo. Now with 10k what could I get out of it? Should I get a shell or buy one stock but in good condition and is there anyon selling a shell or a z in good condition??

 

My sister is selling a 90 TT, been her daily for two years, rebuilt trans and turbos with new new style injectors, aftermarket radiator and taurus fan, divorced dowpipes, 136k miles. Needs love and a paint job, suede interior but it needs a good cleaning. Asking 4500 and im in palm springs.

 

you could buy a pristine low mileage TT for 10k. The key to buying a 300zx is to take your time and wait until you find the one that you know is just right. Don't settle. It took me 4 months to find my Z32.
