The new hotness..

Just sold my beloved Acura CL 3.0 (CLohie) a couple of months ago and picked up this fine '95 2+0 N/A from Houston TX about three weeks ago. Wanted to paint up all the window trim and such with plasti-dip and go on a photoshoot with my friend's fancy DSLR camera but have been pretty busy with work so I just snapped a few pics with my janky old Nikon. Just painted the front window trim part (still have to do side door and quarter window trim) and washed/claybared/waxed. Was loosing light so I didn't get to shining the tires till after the pics.

Well I kind of overpayed for the car ($6k with 128k miles) but it's in pretty much perfect condition mechanically and interior/exteriorly (besides minor dings and a slightly messed up front lip that I am going to replace with a TT one and cut out those three bars) with all maintenance records and some pretty sweet and tasteful mods I would end up doing in the future.
Boston Acoustics speakers with a bazooka tube.
Z1 short shifter
Z1 aluminum driveshaft
Z1 Cold Air Intake
Z1 reprogramed chip
Top Speed full exhaust system

Of course with getting a used car there is some stuff I need to get done..
Paint the rest of the window trims
Get a few dings popped by paintless dent removal
Replace the cracked front lip with a TT one and cut the 3 bars off
Rear wiper delete
OEM shift knob (thinking of getting that JDM OEM red stiched knob with red stitched shift and e-brake boots with red stitch armrests from a vendor on here. Would look pretty sweet with the red I think.)
Needs new tint soon

And of course my wishlist:
Volk TE37's
JDM full set taillights
Flushmount TT spoiler
OEM red stiched stuff as listed above
TwinZ Rear bumper
Twin Turbo or VH45 swap.







T-tops off!













HDR pics

Looks great. I regret selling my '93 300ZX every day - constantly on the lookout for a similarly good deal. Take care of her!

Congrats. There's a white one, TT, in Dallas for sale, but he is overpriced. If only I had the money, and talked him down 2 grand, it would be mine.

Awesome video and congrats on the 300ZX! I've always had a soft spot for those cars. I've been thinking about getting one and have it as my garage queen but I need to pay off the TL first.

I'm looking forward to seeing the progress you make with the Z! Keep us updated

Ha!! I literally had that commercial pop into my head as soon as I opened this thread. Good stuff and now VH is going to stuck in my head for a while...

Nice car indeed! That thing is real clean.

Gorgeous pickup!
My stepdad has one of these, he wants me to do some paint restoration on it to get the lustre back.
It is a T top one too and N/A. It's a 96 I think (last year?) and guess how many miles he has on it...10K. Weekend car :0

Thanks man! And yea, I'll def keep this updated with the crazy pland I have for it. Starting off small of course. 200rwhp will be fine for now.

Nice! I heard it the other day on a drifting video after I already heard it from a top 10 dubstep mix. Didn't know it was so popular.

Hahahaha OMG! I can't beleve I remember that! from the second the music started, I remember the guy picking up the barbie girl and that Asian guy at the end. Dang, I must have been like, 6! I remember it being played alot.
The commercial even portrays one of the most amazing thing about the Z, that twitchy little no traction controll rear wheel hookup after flooring it through a turn. you'll see what I mean at 0:36 on the vid. It's just an amazing feeling.

Only the last 5 fake HDR ones.

That's Crazy!! That's worth ALOT of money. There are so many Z enthusiasts that would dish out some serious cash for it, especially it being the last year and all. That's pretty sweet.

Nice ride! A family friend had a pearl yellow one in the early 90's. What a machine. I have always loved that generation z. The GT-R reminds me a lot of the 300z.

Beautiful ride! Congrats!!! I'll never forget when they first came out. What a buzz about the "Z". My friend had a huge poster of one in his bedroom and I used to just stare at it as if it was a super car. Good luck with it!
