I bought my 92 300zx (5 speed of course) back in march, since then i've spent most of my time working on the car. The z had a lot of work done mechanically when i bought it; bigger injectors, ecu tune, single piece aluminum driveshaft, stage 2 clutch (its heavy but it gives the car a very balanced feel), and a couple other things to improve the car but nothing major. Also the interrior was flawless except for the steering wheel, wich i recently replaced with a pretty neat Italvolante Imola wheel. Most all of my time and money has been spent on the body and suspension. When I got the car both of the rockers were rusted through due to a pinch at the bottom of the T-top drainage system, and there was some rust in the rear quarter. After I welded all the patch panels I filled the antenna hole and rear wiper, as well as the front emblem. I had the car fully repainted the origional KL1 charcoal metallic with a touch of gold pearl. Im really satisfied with the paint job, it's the only thing on the car i didn't do myself due to lack of a paint booth. Next step was suspension, i got a decent deal on some fully adjustable Tein coilovers, and adjustable camber arms front and rear. She sits on Amit wheels (casted aluminum because I can't afford forged wheels, but who can) and BF Goodwrench sport comp 2 all weather, they do gret in the rain. Thats pretty much it up to now, i love the way it looks and makes for a pretty slick daily, might as well drive back and forth to collage in something cool. The Goal for the Z was to be an very clean driver, and something fun.

Love that car man! That's my favorite color for the Z32! Also love thin spoke wheels on the Z32. Your car has the exact look I am going for with mine! Welcome to the page!

Thanks so much for all the posotive comments! Everything else I plan on doing to the car is pretty minor: some much more aesthetically appealing j-spec turnsiginals, a small front lip, and im debating on the twin Z roof spoiler, the Mission style rear lip spoiler, both, or neither. Also i forgot to mention that i shaved the intresting rock guard texture that runs around the bottom of the car. Today im going to finish a plug change and coil pack inspection, she has developed a misfire. Hopefully its a minor fix.
