Well... It was fun while it lasted!

I will probably regret this later on, but for now it needs to happen. I am disappointed to say, that my journey in the Z world has come to an end. I have been having things go wrong time and time again, and as soon as I fix one thing it seems two more issues present themselfs. I pray that someday when I am ready I will be able to get another Z and finish building my dream Z. Right now my Z is in really bad shape after an accident.

I just dont have the enough money to keep dropping into the Z. Between the Z and Mortgage, I wonder how I still have internet..

Anyways. I wont be here nearly as much. And it was a pleasure meeting you all. Wish you all the best of luck and happiness!

ACCIDENT!?!??! sooooo your okay right? havnt seen you here in a bit.

sorry to hear chris. even if your not here much.. keep in touch.

hopefully we can meet up at the dragon sometime before i leave.

^^^ what nate said

Well i dont think you should go just cause you had a very unfortunate mishap, you still love the Z so as far as im concerned you should stay. The Z will call to you! youll be back

i feel the same way with mine, bout to the point of gving up myself

we all run into a time when we are so frustrated we want to give up. I swear i have grimlens living in mine but each time im patient and i make it through the rewards are well worth all the knuckle busters and the research and trouble shooting to figure it all out. Hang in there in the long run if you love the Z as much as i do youll be glad you did

Oh no, believe me I will be back... as far as when I can't tell you. I just rushed into buying my Z, found a deal I thought was a steal... It is just the wrong chassis for the build I was hoping for and too many mishaps. I know I want my dream Z, and this just isn't working. Possibly in the near future I will carefully purchase the next paltform for my perfect Z. What started as a bad start got a little better then got worse than when I started. Who knows if I can't sell it soon I might just go balls to wall and drop do a full restoration and build.

If you ever have any problems with your Z, drive down and i'll fix them

Sorry to hear about your troubles Chris. I'm wishing I had a twin turbo right now in the worst way and plenty of work to restore my NA. But, am glad to know you are okay.

Well it appears I am back faster than I expected!!!

Found a great deal on a great Z!

96 Cobalt Green (Yes I love this color) Twin Turbo with 51,750 Miles, no rust, no modifications!

Found the car while I was driving to visit my ex-fiance's parents. Older gentleman was asking $8500, and I offered him $6500 next weekend and he said ok. Below are some pics!

SWEET DEAL glad to see you found a good one man!

Nice find Chris! What a beauty...love the green. I think I speak for the rest of ZEN when I say....more pix

interior pic soon to come once it gets a good cleaning!

HAHHAHA!!!

congrats!!!

now we can hangout again.

er... start. ?O.o?

You suck.

That is one great deal.


Edit: Where's the Nissan logo on the nose panel? Did the old guy swap it out?

BTW, curious as to how old you think an "older gentleman" is???

Edit3: You visit your ex-fiance's parents? Really??? You are one classy dude.

Nate gimme a while to have this TT semi-built, RPS Clutch+Flywheel, One-piece driveshaft, and HKS EVC-V ordered!

- As for the Nissan Logo the gentleman said he had replaced it the OE panel and had it shaven for a cleaner appearance!

- "Older Gentleman," if I had to guess was high 50's-low 60's!

- My ex-fiance's parents love me and I love them. They treated me with a great deal of respect, and tell me I am the perfect man for her mainly because I have my life together at 21... (I assume). Anyways, she was out of town and they were spending thanksgiving alone and so was I so..

That's great Chris... Now get that interior detailed and post some pics...
