Someone left a NICO card on my Z so I thought I would check it out!always like to meet other Nissan fans and especially Z car lovers

little about meNames TimIm 25 and pretty much been a car nut since I could pick up a wrench...I was ten years old when the Z32 came out and fell in love the first time I set my eyes on one! I have previously owned a burgandy 91 tt that was Wrecked ....But I just couldn't live with out one so I came across this Gold one for a great price..it was wrecked had a tree mess up a fender the hood windshield and T-tops...so I brought her home to ressurect her. the 90 NA engine was ragged out so I swapped in a 1991 NA temporarly while I build the future TT beast that will eventually rest under hood.

So far I swapped Leather seats in (were cloth)Re did the carpetthe gray tweed was in bad shape so I fiberglassed it and painted it to match the body colorOffcourse new T-tops and repaired body damage also a greddy front bumper (soon to be JUN) and a few oods and ends and a mild list of modsstill a work in progress but im happy with the direction so far.

look forward to chatting with you all!

good looking girl. okay looking car (just my opinion). And also in my opinion, lose the ghey front bumper. and lose the lame side moulding. but keep the girl. any woman that sticks by her man in his love of cars is very good for you.

Looks good man, welcome to NICO. Always good to see somebody help out a wounded Z As for the fascia, nothing wrong with it if you have some power and something to make use of the added airflow or an aftermarket front. Keep up the good work!

Nice to meet you, well over the interweb anyway.

I love your car. When I picked up my first Z, a 1991 2+2 there was a Gold TT at the lot that was screaming at me to get it instead. While I loved the color the TT was not an option for me due to INS. reasons. It was also ragged out bad and had 2x the miles that my Black N/a had + they were asking $4k more for it. Since then I havn't seen very many z32's in that color.

Keep up the good work and be sure to check out some of our Nico Meets in your area!

Yeah the color must be fairly rare cause I havent seen to many..one other in my town that I know of...at first I thought..well I have to get most of the car repainted anyway maybe I will change the color but I went to a Z meet in Atlanta (with a friend mine was still in a million parts) and I didn't see one Gold one plenty of red white and Black and a handful of blues greens and silvers i thought..you know I kinda like the gold..so its stayed and even made it to the interior..

also would like to say looks like a cool site so far and big props to your rides I like what im seeing
