1993 Nissan 300zx TT
1993 Nissan 300ZX Two-seater Description:
For Sale, engine rebuilt & new turbos!UnfortunatelyI must sell due to moving to D.C. and lack of space.Owned the 1993 Nissan 300zx TT two-seater since 2010 with current odometer of 154,438. Vehicle was returned from engine rebuild at 154,260 miles by Cruzin’ Auto Services, NC in March 2015. Immediately after receiving vehicle from engine rebuild, I moved to Italy for three years (military) wherein the car was stored in my fathers shed for the duration of three years until I returned in December of 2017. Engine currently still in break-in period, starts and runs great.
Mileage:Title: 145,246Engine Rebuild: 154,260Current as of 01/20/2018: 154,438
Engine was sent to machine shop for block decking & cylinder honing for oversized 88mm Wiseco forged pistons. Brand new T28 turbos were installed. Oil is currently NOT synthetic for break in period, still on 1st oil change. Boost is set low until break-in period of 1000 miles is complete. All brake rotors & pads replaced after rebuild and have less than 50 miles on them. Calibers were re-greased. Has original emergency kit/spare tire. NO RUST on vehicle with exception of rust spot under OEM rear wing. Has an automatic transmission with zero issues. Transmission fluid changed during rebuild. Vehicle is maroon in color, painted over original red finish. The car has a complete & original well-kept black leather and suede interior; power seats/windows/locks all work, T-Tops do not leak, & addition of aftermarket head unit. The HICAS system has not been removed and still works.
Everything changed that goes along with an engine rebuild except lifters (they tap a little); non-damaging but noticeable on cold startup. I have all pictures of rebuild process. I have all receipts for parts/labor since earlier than 2010. The car runs great but recommend a professional tune since never performed.

Update 01/22/2018To clarify some common questions regarding the engine rebuild and other topics:-Rebuild completed by the owner (Erick) of Cruzin Auto Services, an Automotive Repair Shop in Fayetteville, North Carolina who specializes on Z cars. Please search Cruzin Autos Services on FaceBook for details.-Yes, the owner of Cruzin Auto (my friend) does have extensive experience and knowledge of theVG30DETT and all Nissan Z cars.-He has been working on Z cars since a kid and also heads the Fayetteville Z Club.-I originally wanted rebuild because faulty OEM/stock turbos and need for reliability.-I'm sorry for those who are asking extremely specific engine questions that I cannot answer as I did not rebuild the engine and only paid for it.-Yes, the block was honed, and pistons and rings are new, but I do not know how many times the cylinders were honed or what spec the rings are set for.-Yes, I receivedthe car from engine rebuild and immediatelytrailer-edto my fathers house in MD for storage3 years ago due to rushed military move to Italy. (couldn't pass that up, come on)-I do remember when I picked the car up, was told the engine could comfortably handle 600 hp if configured with correct fuel, air, chip, & tune (which the car does not have due to stock fuel rail, injectors, air filter, chip, exhaust, and no professional tune as of now. The car's engine is basically stock except for major part upgrades such as turbos and pistons. I remember Erick mentioning modifications to the block including freeze plugs and ERG welds.-Keep in mind, the engine rebuild used all OEM parts with exception of pistons, rings, turbos, the gasket kits, and other parts I had to pay for that Erick ordered for the rebuild process but do not recall specifics names.-Yes, the car has extremely low miles on the engine still because I returned from Italy in December 2017 and just removed the vehicle from its storage location on my fathers property a week ago.-Yesterday as of 01/21/2018, my friend and I changed the front right side wheel bearing that was faulty and was the last mechanical issue.-If you come to test drive, keep in mind that the car isn't registered so please do not drive like a maniac; plus, Erick (Cruzin Auto owner) warned me not to rev engine over 6000rpm until after 1000 miles.-Yes, I paid a ton of money for parts/labor and never truly got the chance to enjoy it. I know.-No, the car is not a turd. Its actually really nice on the inside and has no rust with exception of under the rear wing by the center tail light (needs to be addressed immediately so rust does not worsen)-No, I do not know any of the previous owners-No, I will not cancel the bid before it is over for those who ask or come to test drive. I'm going to let the bid run. Sorry.-No, I will not hold the car for anyone, no I will not take checks, no I will not trade for your mustang. Wtf.
