I bought my 2nd Z32 in 2014 for $9k, it was a red 91 TT that was MINT inside and out, engine had been rebuilt, new turbos, clutch, blitz electronics stuffs, tons of nice quality parts, super nice car...spun a rod bearing after about a year 🙃. I was in college and couldn't afford to rebuild it so it sat for 9 months and then I sold it for $3k because i got impatient. Really kicking myself now with these prices lol I wouldn't be able to touch another car that was as clean for under $20k now. These prices are a joke.
Most rebuilt engines are a ticking time bomb. Unless you are extremely careful, it is very difficult to get close to the factory build process. Most rebuilds have a lifespan of less than half the factory.
I'm glad this video came out when it did. A guy I know offered me a manual TT for $4500 that "just needs a fuel pump" I figure I'll buy him a fuel pump and throw it in, and if thats all it needs buy it. It's been sitting in his shop for like 3 years but it was supposably good when it was parked. Not sure about the mileage off the top of my head, but it was a car he was trying to sell back when he had his dealership he since retired though.
Been waiting for this one. My first car was a NA z32 with 168000 miles that I bought for a grand. Thing broke down on me every three weeks but man was it fun
Dam... 300zx for your first car.??? LoL LoL... Must have been nice... I had a hoopty: 1980 Malibu was my first car.. It was so slow it couldn't get out of its own way.. but I actually had to work for my first car.. mommy and daddy wasn't buying me a z32 when I was 16.. And if you try to say you worked for it you are liar... I turned 40 last year... And just got mine.. But just like my first car,, I had to work my ass off to save for it. Only difference is now I have bills and a family... But I finally got my Z32 tt... And because it's been my dream car for more then 20yrs... And I worked my ass off for it, it makes it so much sweeter.. Also I got lucky, and found the exact 300 I wanted... Down to color.... I think I got so lucky because I worked so hard for it. And waited so long for it... You know, put out Good Vibes get Good Vibes back....

@@CollectorCarFeed true but I miss when they were disposable. The N/A on my channel, I bought 6 years ago for 1800 bucks. If only I knew then that I'd be spending 7k-10k today for the same car I probably wouldn't have touched it🤦🏾. Either way I'm hanging onto mine till I die 🤣
350Z touring wheels look real good on my 02 Maxima lol.. I use to drive a tow truck and one thing I remember about those cars is that the air dams were usually always messed up from being towed. the tow hooks have to be put on at the rear hook points under the car near the rear wheels. otherwise the winch cable bends and cracks the air dam..
I bought a 1993 Z32TT in 2005 for $10K. Automatic, but pearl white. I had it for about a week until a coolant leak scared me into returning the car. I was 19 and I was in way over my head. I miss it everyday but I also know that car probably would have killed me lol
God, I remember when I first saw a Z32 when I was 16. I was doing work experience at a garage and it was parked outside. One of these days I'll make it mine, but the issue is partly insurance costs, partly the plain old cost and partly just my lack of experience with car maintenance. I can do the bare, BARE basics, but anything more and I'm lost haha Till then, at least I can laugh at you guys roast these prices
I wanted one for 5 years now and I can't afford one now that won't try to kill me. Now I've fallen in love with all these other cars but no they've gone up to the skies. However we are in for an economic recession and that's when i'll try to get what I want hopefully when someone is in need of money.
man seeing this video makes me feel like i ROBBED mine. 1990 300zx TT Auto for 5.5k. Everything just works and it runs great. I was told the timing belt was done 10 years ago. Its since only had 4k miles put on it, but ill still be redoing the 120k service for my own peace of mind.
Good Luck if u didn’t buy this car before you tubers raised the price up I feel bad for you They were like $4k $5k for a turbo model now they’re over $10
The z car market is all over tbe board. Depending what you want and shape. Im trying to find a 84 anniv. Best one built i think but a hard buy to find.
idk why but it always bugs me when i see z32s with 2 massive exhaust tips out the back. usually one big exit or two medium sized exits look just fine, but nope. gotta have two massive tips.
Shortly after the 300ZXTT ended sales in the USA, Japan got a few improvements to their Z32 Fairlady TT. Maybe wait for the 25 year rule to pass, and look at JDM auctioneers?
25 years are up for '97 models right now, right? this is also true for the 180SX, 3000GT, and i'm sure a couple other models, as long as you're cool driving on the wrong side of the car
@@CollectorCarFeed I used to have a strong desire to own a 300ZXTT until some other cars came along. The 300ZXTT arrived when I was 5, and I instantly wanted because I loved mom's 1985 Nissan Maxima. Most 5 year olds wanted a Mustang or Corvette.
@@CollectorCarFeed Yes. It sat in my Texas driveway for my deployments to Iraq 2004-2005 and 2007-2009. So it definitely needs some TLC. Coinkidink about a month ago I met a neighbors oldest son and he is a former Nissan Master Mechanic - “Worked on these all the time”. So with my last kid heading off to college it’s time!!
My Aunt has one of these she bought new sitting in a barn in VA 😂 I don't want to know how much of a cluster it would be replacing all of the rubber 😮💨
I just picked up a 90 for 250 bucks. It's missing the drivetrain. Na auto 2 seat t top car. Then I was given a j 30 a few years ago. The z is 150k and been sitting. J 30 runs drives less then 100k. What do you think would be a fair price to sell it on?, as a project as I can't afford it myself, I'm doing a ranger v8 build right now.
Some food for thought. The 1990 model year 300ZX doesn't have a Nissan badge on the front. 1991 thought 1996 have the badge. Also, the 3000GT VR-4 is a lot easier to work on than a twin turbo 300ZX.
one thing to consider is pre 93 is undesireable as that was one of the first good revisions, as for imported ones, post 98, of course we gotta wait a few years fro legit imports, but thats the final revision. also the auto tt makes 25 less horsepower
Since the z32 is 32 years old now it doesn’t matter at this point they all would have had their maintenance done and the once that haven’t are scrap cars or are about to be to be scrap cars all the deletes and tune ups are that are required. My 90tt is exactly the same as a USDM 96tt. Every thing that Nissan did to make the 94+ models more reliable people have done to their 93 models it doesn’t matter 94 model is still dated it needs work it’s not like your getting away with not working on your car just cuz it’s a 94 it’s 28 years old. also the changes made were very small new style injectors ECU electric hicas nothing much.
mileage doesnt matter when the car doesnt run lol well other than chassis miles but we still take listed chassis miles as engine mileage its a weird grey area \
I'm not a t-top fan, owned an MR2 Turbo with them and they sucked in the sun, sucked in the rain, and sucked when they were off at highway speed. Would far rather have a slicktop or a convertible. That said, t-tops are an iconic part of the 80s and 90s, and I don't think they really detract from the car. It is what it is, market decides what each style is worth
Paid $5000 for mine.. And it's in really good condition. The guy I bought it from said that the guy he bought it from kept it in the garage... And you can tell... The sun does alot of damage.. And not just to the paint.. The sun fuck's up dashboard, seats too.... I got super lucky... Right time - right place.. Dude needed to get rid of it... Now it sits in my garage.... LoL LoL 💯💯😉😊💯💯.. I'll never sell it... Can't wait to see what it's worth in 15-20 years from now........
@@CollectorCarFeed of course but 20k for those things is too much. I got mine for 1,200 as my first project car and dumped 5k into it for a jdm motor after blowing the first one. Also you don't have to do the high-cast delete on the na's so they're ready to drift out of the box.
