My 1986 300zx Turbo 2+2
Here's my personal money pit
...alright, alright, so it wasn't THAT bad, wait - yes it was! These are some of the pictures I took when I first got my car, the only thing that's missing from these photos is the autometer gauge pod that I installed a couple weeks after (boost and air/fuel gauges - carbon fiber backs with alum. bezels)
Bought the car with a bad engine knock, had the engine rebuilt for a cost of approx $5000, then got it home and the head gasket blew, but because the rad wasn't replaced (and no one told me it needed to be) it voided my warranty on the engine.... so enough was enough and I sold the car, Hey she was overweight anyways right?
...that about sums it up.

My Second 300ZX
To everyone viewing my page from autotrader: The price is negotiable, the car needs to be sold because I just bought this (see photo below) and I can't afford to keep both like I thought I could so call me:

[b]S/S Package[/b]
The SS package was available on 88 models only. It consisted of pearl white paint, white wheels, recaro seats, a viscous LSD instead of the standard clutch LSD, a lower air dam in front, and it lacked the adjustable shock absorbers that were standard on other turbos. There were no options avilable on the ss, they all came with a manual transmission, analog dash, t tops, and a mostly black interior. Lacking the digital dash and fancy radio, power seats, and adjustable shocks they are lighter than your normal 87-89 turbo. I'm just guessing here, but figure 100 pounds are saved by the Recaro seats over the standard power seats, 25 pounds by the non adjustable shocks, and 25 pounds from the analog dash. The SS is commonly called the SE, but S/S is the correct designation according to Nissan.
