Description:

1990 Nissan 300ZX

***** I am unsure why the AutoCheck is returning a State Title Brand of Salvage in 1990, 6 months after delivery to a dealer. It also shows no accidents/damage reported to the vehicle. I'm further investigating this information and will update the listing as I learn more. *****
I purchased this car in 2005. The engine was replaced in 2004 with a JDM Long Block (65,000 miles). Since purchasing, the car has accumulated ~15,000 additional miles. In 2008 the body was stripped down to metal, reworked, and painted in 1B9 Quicksilver FX Metallic. This has remained in near perfect shape and kept in the garage. In 2010, the majority of the interior was replaced. The transmission was replaced in 2012 and has about 5,000 miles on it. In 2018 the engine bay was broken down, painted, and reassembled with various upgrades outlined below including the 120k mile timing kit. At this time the original cluster showing 97,500 miles was swapped for one showing 130,275 miles. In 2022 the wheels were balanced and a full alignment completed. The car came factory equipped with T-Tops, power locks, power windows, electric adjustable shocks, and power driver seat. HICAS, emissions, and AC have been deleted.

Issues

  • Clutch slave cylinder failure broke 3rd gear synchronizers. The car will not go into 3rd gear while moving without significant grinding. Due to the low mileage on the transmission, I want the buyer to have the option to repair vs replace and I am willing to negotiate this as part of the purchase price.

  • One side of the exhaust releases a white smoke when exiting the throttle. The car shows no signs of a boost leak and pulls as expected, but this is likely an indication that the turbos will need to be rebuilt. There is no visible oil under the car after extended times in park.

  • Minor interior and exterior cosmetic defects outlined in pictures.
