mediabandit Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 well i have been trying to get a hold of this guy for a few months now to see if he would sell me his old Z (the only std one i have found after 7months of looking around here). so yes, it is a 5speed.. it had a new clutch put in it just before he put her to rest about 1 1/2yrs ago. the crazy fucker wanted $1500.00 for it so i have been haggling with him for a bit now and today finally made the deal. $400.00 plus i give him back his tires he has on it. which i don't care becasue i am just parting the car up anyway. we are not even doing the paper thing cuz i am never going to register it... strip it and send the shell off too the yard. wooohoooo!!! i am soooooooooo happy right now. my Z34 will be 5-speed come spring wooohooooo!!! there are also alot of other parts in it i can use, so that is a bonus. also he said the motor ran before he laid it up as well so i plan on keeping that and rebuilding it over the next year or so as i have money and time, that way if?mine ever goes i will have a replacement. this may not seem like to big of a deal to some of you but if you understood that there are NO cars like this around here you would appreciate it more. i took a few cell pics today of it, i know they are really shitty but it's something for now. i will get some more (with the digital camera) when i pick up the car. i am going to try to get up there on Wednesday when i am off work again and see if i can get her to start. if not i will flat bed her to where i am going to strip it. btw it only has 70,000 kms on it so that ain't bad at all, mine has over 310,00kms on it and still runs excellent. this is only the 2nd automatic i have ever owned and i am not a fan... so it will be a real treat to have it 5-speeded lol. i know it will make it so much more enjoyable to drive too. so sorry about going on and on about it but i am ecstatic about it.

Euro Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Did someone get a little excited on the left front tire/fender? Nice grab. I'd be just as happy as you are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediabandit Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 So are you selling some of the parts off of it? i will be completely stripping it, so anything i do not use i have no problem hookin you guys up with, but that will have to wait until i pick out everything i will be using. So why are ALL the 5 spds beat to fuck? Can't find a nice one to save my life. i have never gotten to find a 5-speed before,like i said these cars are very very rare around here, to actually find a 5-speed was pretty amazing! so i have no idea if they are all beat up like that. most of this damage was done by kids after it had been parked i was told. Z34s came with moon roofs?!? no, it was installed after he bought it. Did someone get a little excited on the left front tire/fender? Nice grab. I'd be just as happy as you are! lol.. that was me sorry. i just got a little excited...lmao ( actaully some kids tossed white paint over it a few months back the guy said) and thanks, i am very happy about finding this.

5speedz34 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Moonroofs for Z34's are a dealer installed option. They look like piss IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 sweet deal!! that body is toast, but a good 5-speed and a spare engine = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 You know I just realized, thats a '91! Production went '92, '91, 93 for the 5speeds. I've never seen a '91! Cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediabandit Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 sweet deal!! that body is toast, but a good 5-speed and a spare engine = ya there is not one good panel on that body, that hasn't rusted or got kicked in by deviants. but oh well, that is not what i was looking for anyway, the body on mine is mint... no rust or anything. You know I just realized, thats a '91! Production went '92, '91, 93 for the 5speeds. I've never seen a '91! Cool though. ya mine is a '91 too, just automatic though... hehehehe but NOT for long!!!!!

GP1138 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Moonroofs for Z34's are a dealer installed option. They look like piss IMO. What in Gods name makes it look like piss? Mine looks just fine, aside from the gap in the headliner over the backseat. Otherwise it looks fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine looks just fine, aside from the gap in the headliner over the backseat. Otherwise it looks fine. They just look tacked on IMO compared to factory sunroofs. The don't look very clean IMO. I haven't seen yours, but the one I saw at the junkyard didn't look very good to me. Can you take pictures of the headliner, I'm curious to see how they look compared to a factory one.

Z34-5speed Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Dude, that's awesome you got a 91 5speed. There were only 30 made in 91 with the 5speed!!! Sad to see it is only going to be used as a parts car but it seems too far gone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediabandit Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 thanks, i was so happy when i found it, and still am for that matter. just have to get the garage freed up and i will be bringing it home to strip it and i may even do the swap before the winter, that way i will get to drive it a bit before it is time to put it away... hehehe and the parts car is going to live on because i never plan on getting rid of mine.... no matter what!

pwmin Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 sweet. i just happened upon this 5-speed car not trying to find one, although i was wanting one for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediabandit Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 ya out of the 30 or so vehicles i have had, this is only my second automatic, and i am really not a fan of the granny shifting at all. i much rather have a 5-speed, way more fun and not to mention the added power.

mediabandit Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 so i went and flatbeded the parts car home today.i got a bunch of pics of it getting the tear down treatment, atleast what i got done in the little amount of time i had. i did however get it home and get her running, she actually works really good.no leaks other then the brake lines are shot. so i patched them up enough to have some brakes and took her out and drove the shit out of her like White93z34 said to do to make sure the tranny and the clutch were working properly... and let me say.... Damn what fun it is to have a 5-speed in these cars. i can't wait to get it in mine... the plan was to do it over the winter but i think i am going to try and get it dsone before so that i have a little bit of time to enjoy it before i have to put her away. i had planned on taking some vids of it and and burnin around... ( ugly as it is, lol) but i was having to much fun to remember the vids. sorry. i also found out that the tranny had just been rebuild and a new clutch added just before he laid it up. so that is a definite bonus. i got the car for 400.00 and it has a new rad in it too which i need for my car... so the new rad for mine was gonna cost me $341.00 and i paid $400.00 total for this car... lol so t has already paid for itself. anyway i am lazy and tired to post the pics here so i will just post the link. it is not private so anyone can view it. oh and i even had my wife do some work, lol http://s156.photobucket.com/albums/t7/mediabandit/misc%20pics/parts%20car/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
