My 96TT came in this afternoon at around 2:30pm. The car looks great and drives great. It's a very different car, compared with my Z31. It actually feels softer on the suspension, and it's very noisy - must be the tires, Pirelli P8000 upfront and G'Year Eagle HP at the rear. Though these tires look almost brand new, I will still replace them with the four new Sumitomo HTR-Z that I just purchased last week. Unfortunately, there are no temporary plates on the car, so I can't go on the road - yet. The administrative paperwork is coming by mail. Hopefully sometime next week I'll finish all the DMV stuff and hit the road.

The t-top shades don't have a bag with them. They should have a bag, right? If anyone has a pair for sale, please e-mail or PM me.

Finally, thanks to all of you for helping. I hope to do some fun motoring with this car. No need for pics if you've been following my journey to a Z32... unless I have some neat scenery/background

 

Glad to hear you finally got it. I haven't been following your journey closely, so post some pics.

 

grats. and its a requirement to post pics of your new Z

 

The t-top shades don't come with a bag for themselves, but t-top bags were standard. They're cheap though, so if you don't have them it shouldn't cost much to get them.

And did you really believe we wouldn't mind if you postd this without including pictures?

 

OK, I will take some pics and post tomorrow - oh, and I think I'll have to change the picture in my avatar also!!

 

Man you need to hurry, I want to see it lol.

 

there are not a lot of 1996 Z's around. Good find.

 

Here are just 3 pics I took while looking the car over after it was dropped off. The car was originally purchased at North Shore Nissan in Highland Park, IL. Based on CarFax results, it spent all of its 39K miles in the Highland Park area until the owner unloaded it to Autobahn Autos and now I have her. It seems like everything works as designed. I will certainly enjoy this ride. I'll post some more pics later tomorrow.

 

if you want mor info, it was actually sold to autobarn in orland park where me and my friend originally spotted it, it sat there for about 3 months i think till evanston autobarn pickd it up because orland didnt know what do do with it, the evanston is more Z knowledgable/friendly ive noticed. i was following this car before you lol, i was surprised to find out it was the same one from orland when i went to see it for you. its spent it whole life near me, now you stole it.

 

LOL!!!! Well, you did drive it before I did, so we're even. Thanks again for checking it out for me.

 

Nice, what kind of wheels are you gonna put on it?

 

no problem, i was half way there anyways since i needed to go to ohare and its always fun to drive a TT.... even if it is just a 96

 

Well, I was going to save some money and get the Volks but you've got them. So, I'm looking at the

DriftZ venom (5-lug version)



or the VER ONE!!


The Jaz Trinity also looks good, but I have a version (Monet Gothic) on my truck and I don't care much for its quality. Besides, they probably don't come in 17s.



I'm biased towards the second one. I don't know these names and am not sure of quality, but they look good and they're not terribly expensive. I really want to stay with 17s, probably 17x8 F and 17x9 R, with the appropriate offset to get that fender flush look. I would like to know what folks think. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

 

gram lights are nice, and if i ever had a black or silver 300zx i always said to myself i would stick on bronze rims.

check these out, they are in diff colors and only weigh 15.5 lbs in a 17x8.5 which i would see if they have a little wider for the rears. im sure they do
