z34_nut Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Basically in its current condition. I'm going to take a look at it hopefully this week to figure out the exact problem.. but I'm confident the shortblock is ok... and the noise is the top end. Timing belt is ok... The car starts and drives... loud tick in the top end. Since it started, I've parked the car. Huge lack of time to invest in this. I've been so busy with my jobs I cannot find myself time for my own personal projects. If you guys are interested, I'll sell it. I want to sell this car to an enthusiast.... Clean CA title in hand. Car is rust free... immaculate. Had the spoiler and bumper repainted because of fade. I've owned the car for 4 years.. put 30k on it... Things that need attention: 94+ brakes Tires Dashboard stopped working except for the RPM gauge, and fuel (???) I have tried to fix this.. but I think it all needs to be re-wired from scratch. Just stopped working out of no-where. Odometer reads 168xxx. Tick in engine 3rd gear syncro works 50% of the time... lol. If you rev match like you should... no issues... if you just jam it into gear (3rd gear only), it grinds. The goods Engine has about 60-70k on rebuilt shortblock. Full Poly mounts Factory 5-speed car Custom AQ4 (9?) interior swap (including DIC) Red interior lighting Custom grey interior Rear Coil Overs Intrax springs up front KYB GR2's bigger sways Amazing custom Magnaflow exhaust. Sounds perfect. Clean, rust free body... undercraage looks showroom Custom tuned 96+ fuel rails... blah blah blah... lots of stuff here. This car DOES handle better then my z06... by a large margin. I've really wanted do a BIG turbo swap on this thing... but time never let me get to it... I've also been searching to find a z34 local here to swap everything over on and just sell the silver one as a roller... but I haven't found a z34 local in months...

I have lotsa trouble believing that and many have... but take it from the owner of both cars pushing them to their limits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this car make it across the country? i wouldn't drive it. I figure I should at least check it out. It got progressively worse. Its in the top end. I personally think its a failing lifter.

raymire59 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Price? Current photos- inside & out, underhood? Where did you get progressive rate springs for the coilovers? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34_nut Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Price? Current photos- inside & out, underhood? Where did you get progressive rate springs for the coilovers? Thanks Car hasn't changed from here... basically at all. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2047018 The whole coil over system is built and designed by FFP. Proven to be one of the most effective ways to lower and improve handling and ride for a w-body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRONDOG442 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 ONCE AGAIN PRICE?!?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34_nut Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 ONCE AGAIN PRICE?!?!?!?! lol, I'm looking for offers to be honest. I don't have a set price... and honestly, I need to see what the problem is right now. That will decide my final asking price. If I can fix it I will... and likely ask about 4k for it considering all the aftermarket components and work thats has been done to this car... If broken... I'd like to see 2000-3000 depending on damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34_nut Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 That sucks you are selling. You put a lot of time and money it to your car. Look great. I've maintained it for the most part... I didn't built most of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
