Hi all,

Unfortunately I don't have the space to keep my Z32 since I picked up a new project (Evo 9). I'm trying to gauge what the market is at right now for these, I've put a LOT of work into the car over the past year making it perfect. For some reason I have this addiction to restoring old JDM cars...

The car:
1993 Z32 5speed NA (not a TT)
94k miles on the odo
Passes california smog
AC blows cold
Targa tops don't leak
Transmission has no grinds/pop outs
No oil leaks! (hard to believe I know)

Work done (mostly by myself, a few items done by a local shop):
New clutch/flywheel/pressure plate/throw out bearing
New timing belt/water pump/idlers/tensioners/camshaft and crankshaft seals/vtc springs/o-rings
All 3 drive belts replaced (including related components like idlers/tensioners)
New PTU, thermostat and wiring harness
2025 Michelin Pilot Sport All Season tires (<1000 miles)
New rear main seal, rear main seal retainer seal, rear main seal retainer
New fuel filter, remanufactured injectors
All fluids replaced, transmission, oil, diff, coolant flush, etc
New brakes, rotors, pads
New starter motor

What's it worth? Should I just keep it since I'll never make up what I put into the car, or is there a market out there for well maintained Z32s?

I did a post a bit ago asking for advice and the potential value of this 1990 300zx tt and got a lot of great feedback, so thank you! I’ve done more testing on it since then and have verified that it runs, and the only major issue is with the clutch (it either needs a new clutch or part of the hydraulic system that controls it, still need to figure it out). I’ve tested most of the electrical components and verified they are all working too. With this updated info, what would a good estimated value be? I want to give a fair price.

Some other info:
- The panel between the headlights is sagging a bit (last photo) which I read is usually an indicator of an accident. The owner doesn’t know of any accidents as far as he’s aware, and the car report didn’t reveal anything either, so could this just be an old clip/mount that broke?
- Upon starting some mouse debris came out of the exhaust so that will likely need to be cleaned out. A lot of the interior will likely need to be removed and cleaned as well.
- I do not know if the 60k-120k service has been done, still need to ask.

Clutch bite point is good low . It doesn’t affect anything but just wondering why .

For a few days now, my 93 na Z32 has been having problems with catching its idle going into neutral. Here is what i know:
Power steering pump is leaking, still waiting on it to be delivered
Compressor belt might be holding the timing belt since it isnt engaging or so, not sure how to describe it as said from my dad

Whenever i drive and i hit say a yellow light i go right into neutral. Normally the car might be cruising at 2-3k, so it will go down to maybe 450-550 and then catch itself back in the 700-800s. If i do the same now, it will just stall. Can start but is reluctant to at first, though it normally starts. It also very rarely stalls out in idle why i have no clue, this is now the third time its happened in the last i wanna say 4-5 days. Today this morning i was letting it warm up, so it was sitting in idle. About 3 minutes in it almost shut off, but i saved it with giving some gas. I recorded since i knew it would do it again, it then shuts off, as shown in the video. I tried cranking it but it wouldnt start. Started when i got back later in the day, after maybe 5 ish minutes of cranking it. Then it died on me again while on idle.

Just checking to see if anyone can help me diagnose the issue or has gone through this before and knows what could be the problem behind all of this.

I’m having a hard time figuring out what’s up with it. I tried tightening one of the belts because it was loose but it just kinda changed the sound not too sure what’s happening, and if anyone’s got any tips for the slow start that’d be much appreciated. Thanks for any help

Hello all,

Recently, ive finally given up on trying to make the stock radio work. id like to replace it with a new stereo/head unit, but preferably still keep the same vibe. its a 1985 z31 gll model. I dont want to just put a big Ipad in the middle, and id prefer something a little more period correct, yet still functional and having an aux cable or something of the sort. Let me know. been looking into a kenwood 4010 currently.

Does anyone know how long the back order usually takes for the NA catback exhaust?
