Do Z32s have traction control?

Or is it just the LSD at the rear?

hey, here is your Z32TT you "bought" according to the dealership. its mechanically, very sound. starts up fast, runs very very quiet. turbo's are still quiet. only 39k on it. everything is still very tight all the bushings, steering bushings, shift bushings. clutch engages low still, brakes are good, boosts just fine reall fast and smooth at stock boost, no engine codes. its over all a really nice car. i got to do a couple pulls with it and got it a little sideways for yah. had to get my Z32 memories back mechanically i give it a 10/10 paint wise a 8.5 / 10 because there are two scuff marks. one on the passanger rear quarter that can prolly be buffed out, but one that looks like paint from another bumper on the front driverside corner. its small though. i'll upload my very few pics i got for yah. all in all, if you dont plan on doing much but intake and exhaust and then body stuff. id say its a great car.


HERE YOU GO:

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it. I hope they didn't give you a hard time. Yeah, send in some more pics. How is the driver's seat? And, NO, you don't get the Z31!!!!!! Thanks man.

BTW, do Z32s have Xenon/HID or just plain projectors? How difficult/expensive would it be to upgrade to Xenons?

only the JDM '99 special editions had Xenons. fortunately, all z32s have projector low beams stock, so you just need to get a set of ballasts and bulbs and you are good to go. the stock projectors focus the light right so you don't blind everyone, unlike all the ricer honduhs out there. check ebay for plug 'n play kits.

YUP ^^^^ i did it and its easy as pie. and come on!?!?!?! you still owe me and thats all the pics i got. the interior is pretty much mint. seats are great, a little tiny bit worn just from being sat in so they are slightly stretched. but no ripples, tears. the carpet is a bit faded. but thats to be expected, just needs a shampoo'ing maybe and will be all good. everything works on it to. hicas works, the adjustable suspension works. windows lights, etc. it all works. i drove your car before you did :P

they need a warning when driving a z32 on the snow..

"caution: when driving in slippery condition steering may be controlled by the gas pedal at any moment without warning"

Expect an enevlope soon. I'll be mailing tomorrow. All the paperwork came in today and I was able to talk them to 90 day warranty on powertrain and mechanical, and 30 days on everything else. I hope to finish the paperwork tomorrow and hopefully cut them a check by end of week, then wait nervously and try as hard as I can to sell my Z31.

BTW, what do you folks pay on insurance for the Z32?
