Sold Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo LWB 1993

After 6 wonderful years together it is time to parts ways.

It’s a 1993 (K) LWB twin turbo manual (converted) import.

It was imported in 2007 and I am the second UK owner, first owner had it 4 years, I’ve had it 6.

It has just over 82k miles on it.

I have never used the car on salty icy roads and it’s always garaged and SORN’d over the winter period….and it as very rarely seen a wet road other than when caught out!

It is immaculate and I'm a fool for selling it, but I’m after a change as between this and another 300ZX I’ve been driving them for almost 10 years.

It truly is an excellent example, absolutely no rust, all electrics work, cruise control, seats etc all work perfectly, only thing that doesn’t is the aircon which has never bothered me, just take the Targa panels off on hot days!

The car is very fast and is running around 360bhp and 395lb/ft torque, I’m not always a fast driver, I like acceleration but the car has never been drifted or tracked.

Interior is great conditon for it's age, many parts have been replaced and it is better than cars many years younger.

The exterior is 95% immaculate, with just some minor marks here and there, again for 25 years old it looks brilliant. (Front bumper is due to be repainted on the 12th of June as there are a few stonechips and I want to present it perfectly.)

It has Michelin tyres on all 4 corners, fronts are almost new, brakes, suspension, clutch components are all in good condition as many have been changed, the car starts, drives and stops well, oil pressure is excellent and the car never runs hot.

The MOT is due to expire at the start of July but it will be going for a test shortly and I am sure it will pass no problems.

Still has the original Nissan shagpile mats, targa blinds, targa bags and genuine toolkit.

This car will sell itself if it is viewed in the flesh.

Thousands of pounds and many, many hours spent looking after this great car.

There is masses of invoices etc to prove work done, below are some of the mods :-

Autowatch CAT 1 Alarm.
18” wheels (re-furbished over the winter, excellent)
Nistune ECU.
Zedworld one piece prop shaft.
Japspeed downpipes and cat bypass pipes.
Kakimoto backboxes.
Baileys evo dump valves.
Apexi air filter.
ARC side mount intercoolers (very rare)
555 Injectors & upgraded later style injector harness.
AEM fuel pump.
Alloy radiator
Leather re-trim in black and grey.
99 spec rear lights.
2nd generation PTU fitted (1st generation prone to failure)
UK spec speedo cluster.
Exedy clutch.
Nismo gear box mount.
K Sport 8 pot calipers. 330mm discs and Ferodo DS2500 pads.
Twin A pillar pods with Turbosmart boost gauge fitted.
Many hoses changed for silicon items

The car was safely mapped once the injectors and fuel pump where upgraded, it is running well within its means and with some other mods could be tuned further, but as the car is already such a joy to drive, I do not believe it is needed.

There are also many other small like upgraded lights, chrome interior handles, led lights under the electric window switches, these all make a difference and really set the car off.

There are probably other things I have forgotten, if you want to know anything, just ask.

I hope it goes to someone who has looked after it as well as myself and the previous UK owner, if I had room I would keep it somewhere and let its value soar, but sadly I cannot, plus the wife would kill me!


Looking for 8995.

Not suprised buddy. You always keep your cars in tip top shape.

Cheers mate :)

Got my work cut out with the Skyline I just picked up yesterday from Southampton though.

It had a full bare shell resrpay at some point and there is tons of little bits and bobs missing, very frutrating for an OCD person lol.
