abelv Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Ya, I was looking for a DSM but everyone seemed to know that they break down I guess so I have kind of gotten into 300zx's. Anyone know of any that are under $5000 or little over if turbo'd. It's gotta be a manual and below 200,000 miles and doesn't need dramatic body work unless it were twins then i wouldnt care lol. Let me know i'd appreciate it. Also, If anyone has any suggestions as to what car i should look into i'm into bmw's or turbo'd cars that are somewhat stylish. Thanks.

blueG60rado Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 turbo z's are no more reliable than dsm's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 You can have mine for 8K. 75K miles on it. Twins. HKS turbo timer, Apex-i SAFC, greddy boost control, stillen exhaust, HICAS works beautifully, best handling car I have driven. DSM's have an undeserved rep for high maintenance, similar to RX-7s. The above poster is spouting stereotypes. The Z is a nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abelv Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Ya i was thinking the same thing, and to the guy that mentioned the 85 or wutev im looking for more of the 90 and up style because the older ones are ugly lol. And I agree with anthony about the picking up the ladies that is a very important factor. And to the guys offering the 8k cars i seriously only have half that but thanks anyway that would be sweet. I found this on craigslist but the guy hasn't responded... http://columbus.craigslist.org/car/455391423.html What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to me, don't get a 300zx unless you have a big wallet for repairs. The 1990 models had a lot of issues don't buy one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fast5gp Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 A buddy of mine selling his 240sx.. Copied and pasted from http://www.ohiodrifting.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7063 Nissan 240SX, S14. Black with grey cloth, 140k miles. Rb25det (Skyline) motor with 33k miles on it. Car is set to a stock setting at 6lbs. of boost. (about 220 whp) Car runs strong and is very reliable. (all work was performed by me) If you're not familiar with this motor, please ask!! Mods: (car is mostly stock) KYB GR2's, Eibach Sports. Z32 brakes in front. Nismo fuel pressure regulator 3inch downpipe (stock exhaust) dual 10" flexalite pusher fans. Nissan waterpump Greddy timing belt New idler and tensioner Nismo thermostat Top Hat mount kit, professional wiring conversion, custom drive shaft. (All parts listed above are brand new!) Car runs strong and is very reliable.. Car needs a few things to make it faster/nicer. Could use: 3inch exhaust rims/tire combo. LSD front mount intercooler. A nice tune.. good for 280-300 whp on stock turbo/injectors. Aesthetically: Needs new hood and front bumper needs painted. The body is in good condition, but the paint has a lot of scratches. It's not perfect by any means... but, the paint still shines nicely. Mechanically: Engine runs flawlessly. Perfect transmission. The shocks, clutch, brakes, powersteering, tires, etc.. are all in great condition. Interior is mostly stock and is very clean. Asking: $7500. obo. Includes all records of total purchases, labor hours, work done to the car, etc... (everything was recorded and documented on Excel) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/FriedEGs/DSC03332.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/FriedEGs/DSC03325.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/FriedEGs/DSC03307.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
