Yea, more details would help...

Just realized that you are from Tampa. We should meet up and cruise sometime.

Hey guys.

I'm not sure what details you want (?). It's basically all original with 71K miles. It's been sitting in a garage and started monthly for the past 13 years. My friend didn't have it tagged for the past 5 years, but he'd occasionally drive it around the neighborhood. It seems to be running a bit rich (I'm sure it needs a tune up) but the turbo still works well and it drives nice and tight. He had the timing belt changed at 60K and while that was only 11K miles ago, it was about 16 years ago so I guess I better take care of that soon (anybody know a good place in Tampa?). I have the orig. window sticker which I'll post on here soon. The interior is nice with a crack in the driver's side seat. The leather on the steering wheel is a bit worn.

Exactly, good job!! My 84' NA has 160k on it. So the steering wheel leather is easily fixed with a wheel skin in matching color. That cost $40 bucks, I took mine to a tuck n' roll place to get it installed professionally...that was like 12 years ago and still looks new. The drivers side tear is also very typical, you can get the same guy that does the wheel skin to fix that piece. That piece is not leather, rather Nissan cheaped out and used leather "seating surfaces" and than used vinyl for the sides. It should cost under 100 bucks to get a new piece put in, I have replaced nearly all of the vinyl pieces on my car. While your there you can re-cover the console with the same material and make it look nice and matching too.

How is your headliner, those fall after the years too...your right about the timing belt, if I were you I'd get it replaced along with the cam seals and the water pump while the mechanic is in there. Don't take it to Nissan dealship as there are not many mechanics left that work on these daily anymore, but this is the most common Nissan motor from 80's and 90s so lots of independents that know the cars.

Nice car, take good care of it!!
