Sounds like a good deal but also maybe a scam. I would want to see and test drive the car before making any decisions, also NEVER send any money western union/ moneygram or anything else like that. If he tries to tell you the money will be secure untill you release it hes a scammer.

I would also like to know how the stage 1 clutch makes it "fast"

To me, that looks like a scam bro.

First: If he is a mechanic, why does he say this "IRIDIUM PLATINUM SPARK PLUGS?" Those are two different types of spark plug.

Second: He doesn't list any brand names for the exhaust or the clutch, which probably suggests that he either bought the car with them already installed or the car is not his. Ask anyone who has put any mod on their car and they will 99% of the time be able to tell you what kind it is.

Thrid: It could just be my eyes, but I'm pretty sure I don't see that TT wing in the top two pics.

Also, be sure to get a phone number and actually talk to the guy. A lot of the time the scammers don't want you to have their numbers, so they will avoid the question or make up some BS story. Be very careful and good luck!

the seller just might be a tard on the spark plugs, and I doubt that it is in fact a fairlady edition, the japanese market name for the Z has always been fairlady, in 95 and 96 they sold a "fairlady" edition, I beleive they were all n/a's not sure what came with the package but I'm quite sure the seller just a dork
