some questions on the Z32

[Logan76]

I know almost nothing about Z's i have a 240 thats semi modded N/A still...but im just wondering what some of the price ranges on the Z32s would be for the N/A version and the TT version...i live in PA, and im considering selling my 240 to buy a Z because im really starting to love the look of them...and i think they are a really sharp car. Thanks.

it really depends on what kind of condition you want... You can get really N/A auto's with questionable cosmetics for not much...... Mint all original twin turbos are gonna be in the 10 grand range...

Just a note Ive found, Z's sell for FAR less on Z websites then they do on the market.. So if youre looking for a good deal, search the Z sites... Generally those cars HAVE been run harder, but they usually were cared for better... I go to other Z sites all the time for their classifieds sections, but our tech sections are better

Thanks body work is something i can do...i just want it to run somewhat strong not looking for anything mint im expecting the few problems here n there ya know? id like a 5 speed TT...but i belive my funds will not permit it :x

I've seen TT's going for as low as 5K in running condition, just with high miles. The spectrum is too vast to list. I'd say the average I've seen lately has been about 8.5K.

The Z32 is really a fantastic car. Elwesso covered it pretty well on price range and where to look so I won't really get into that. A big thing to understand is the Twin Turbo was an expensive sports car, and as with most forced induction sports cars, if you get one in less than very well kept, there will be lots of little things to do (maintence, hoses, possibily turbos, etc). So make sure you can afford more than just to purchase the car.

If you have any specific questions or want to pick my brain, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] or say hello on AIM at NorthShoreRacing and I'll be more than happy to assist you in any way I can.

Hope to see you in a Z car soon!

Yep... A twin turbo Z is about like maintaining a Q.. Figure 1000 in parts/labor right as soon as you get, 3000 for the next year (excluding that 1000) and then $1500 a year to maintain it...

This is all at dealer labor with OEM new parts, so if you can use sponsors parts and DIY labor that can be cut in half. But its not a buy n' drive car like a honda or even lesser nissan.

Its expensive, but not nearly that expensive.

Wow...but if u think about it when u buy a new car u still usually replace a good 500$ worth of stuff when u get it...just so u know it most likely wont leave u sitting along the road because of some neglected issue, but thanks everyones helped me out alot i apreciate all the response. Thanks guys.

It is if you use dealer parts (at dealer prices) and dealer labor... You cant tell people about our secrets!!!

dealer prices aren't so bad when you shop around, I've got dreat deals from a nico sponsor that was way cheaper then courtesy and super easy to deal with, as for labor if your prepared to get greasy, maybe you should stick to newer cars, dealer labor makes it cheaper to buy a 350Z
