eec564 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm feeling worse. I missed a 500$ 82' ZXT. It was an auto and a 2+2. No use for the former, but I like the latter. A guy I know was selling it, and needed cash ASAP. Alas, I have absolutely NO plate to physically put another car. I was calling around, seeing if I had any friends who could store it for a while when it sold. I'm gonna kick myself for a while on that one. -Eric Edit: Think I should buy this? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/pts/989125118.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letitsnow Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I paid $400 for my 280z, it didn't have a motor though. Body is in pretty good shape too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eec564 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 So what should I offer the guy? I'll assume a turbo rebuild is needed, the exhaust manifold may need to be decked, and the intake manifold is bare. What does a turbo rebuild run these days? -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying $180 wouldn't be a deal breaker though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eec564 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 That's what I was thinking, around 150, depending. Without the wiring harness and CAS/bracket, the 81 ECU & AFM aren't good for much. The valve cover is nice, but cosmetic. If the intake is bare it's nothing special. So the ex manifold, turbo, j-pipe, lines, etc are the only real goodies. I sent him an email asking about condition of the turbo, if the intake manifold had any accessories, and if the turbo had the downpipe. We'll see! Of course, installation of this requires a new clutch, as mine slips a little bit when shifting hard at red line, even with my all-original NA engine, a turbo would kill it in quick order. And I'm sure while-I'm-at-it syndrome will strike again! A rebuild isn't that far away in my future anyways, just a question of if it'll be my current engine, or a spare then swap them.

letitsnow Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The ad said it was 82-83, unless I misread, it's late.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eec564 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 You're right, my bad. It is late. I was thinking of 81 CASs from another ad I was reading a bit ago, I swear I'm a bit batty. -Eric (The crazy one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eec564 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 So after emailing the guy twice from two different email accounts, he sent me a few pictures. He's asking 180. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyZ Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'd say he's tired of spending time and money on cars and wants to spend it on photography. Seems to me he's using a very high quality camera and is learning to use it pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
