Default Z by JoTech 453 WHP FOR SALE

I know I should put this post in a "Private Classified" but I rather deal with local buyers. I bought this car a couple months ago from a very well known member on this site. You may actually look at his post back then with this link:

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=84075

I bought the car 42k with 18000 miles. The shipping from Texas was $1200. The car has now 21000 miles and a few more accessories installed by Evolution Autosports in Chantilly, Virginia. I have the 3 Defi gauges with controller.
Anyway, I just got a back surgery and have continuous pain in my left leg. Need an automatic and more comfortable car. Ask for 44k OBO. Please PM me for any question.

This car was at the Hooters meet on Oct. 16th, wasn't it? Man if I could swing it, I'd be all over this. It looked like this car had been very well maintained.

In an effort to help you sell this, I'm gonna sticky this thread for a little while. Good luck, and I'm sorry you're having to sell this Gem. Let us know when it sells.

Thank you. Yes the car was at the Hooters meet on the 16th but with my son. I wasn't there. I was still at Arlington Hospital for my surgery. I noticed your car by the picture on your post and asked my son to take some more pics. My car dont need much more for performance but still has some room for the look and I was about to get some ideas and inspiration from your car. Well forget it. Yesterday, I paid a visit to Steve at Evolution. It was the first time I drove the car since the surgery. Man, it was not cool, when people look at the car and see the driver hardly getting out or in the car. So I decided this is it. Thank you for let me post in this forum for a while. I will move to the private classified later if it dont work here.

I'm very sorry for your injury. I hope you make it through it ok. I was wondering if you don't sell the vehicle right away if you would be willing to part out some of the things you have on it?

Well, I dont have the skill, knowledge and the physical capacity to part out the car. So I really want to sell the all car with everything.

Hello, this is Steve from Evolution.
This Z is one of the best performed modded Z I have encountered so far and I have seen enough Z everyday. Very well kept and maintained. Hate to see it go.
Anyway, I think you can try Ebay as my partner Jeff just sold his S2000 on there for a very reasonable price.

Good luck!!!

Good luck with your sale. I have seen this car in person, from the engine, exterior, suspension and insane audio set ups. This car is worth every penny.

Hope your back gets better.

Jeff

Thanks very much for all your nice thoughts. Hey ColecatZ, what are you doing in the Mid-Atlantic forum?You are far from home to track this ex-texan Z. I love the car and my back feel so much better. To the point that I drove to Evolution spend some money. My wife better dont know about it. She would think I have a second thought about selling the car. Maybe I do or maybe I just cant help to make this car better. Thanks Jeff@Evolution and John. You are a great team.

I don¡¦t pay attention to the individual forums, I just click on ¡§View New Posts¡¨ and look at everything new since my last visit. I didn¡¦t know it was in the ¡§Mid-Atlantic¡¨ forum until you told me. ƒº

I wonder if you shouldn¡¦t reassess the sale after you are fully recovered so you don¡¦t end up regretting it later. I sold my 93 Stage IV Twin Turbo 300zx five years ago and I¡¦ve regretted that sale ever since.

Glad you are feeling better, take care.

Could you post some pics of what the car looks like. I might have a friend interested in buying it from you. He wanted to buy mine from me, but I love my Z too much to get rid of it. Evolution is a great place and does nice work. I have seen there cars in person from the shows, and also have the mag they are in this month. I have only done business with them once, but that one time impressed me. Who ever gets this car will have a great time it looks like from all the parts listed on it. If you could post some pics I will show them to my friend and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks

If your back is better then maybe you can make it your weekend car. Or your clear your mind car. It's just so sweet.

If you're not in a hurry to sell you would probably make more money by parting it out. I know I personally would be interested in several things.

I was sooo fortunate to get to drive this car today. There are no words to describe how much power this car delivers. Too liberal an application of the gas pedal can spin the back tires in three gears without even blinkging an eye. (Thank God for VDC or we'd probably still be waiting for the tow truck to come pull the car out of a ditch). The sounds eminating from under the hood are music beyond compare. There are enough information displays in the cockpit to make you think you just sat down behind the yoke of a small corporate jet. The dual-disc clutch requires probably about half the travel of the stock clutch and about twice as much pressure. It'd be tough on the left leg in commuter traffic, but it would be no problem for regular traffic (and sure was fun for spirited driving).

The 19" Volk GT-C's with whatever rubber surrounded them (I forgot to look) were no match for the massive power of this car, and it was only set for 6 PSI of boost. I can't imagine what 10 PSI would be like.

While I would hate to have to sell thi car were it mine, whoever buys it is one LUCKY soul.

Alain (INDECIS) and his son (Please forgive me, I cannot for the life of me recall your name!) are two genuinely, incredibly nice people and proof that we have a community of great Z owners.

Alain, thank you for giving me the opportunity to see what this car can be turned into.

Guys, I can tell you that our Moderator knows how to drive and drive fast. I suspected that he must have been on the racing track several times. Not a second I thought that we will go off road but it was very exciting even on the passenger seat. The road we used had many curves and keeps going down and up. Remind me of San Francisco. I managed to keep my lunch in me. Next time we will do it before eating and will set the boost controller to 8. Never went above that except for dyno. It was a great pleasure to meet you Kelly.

Did you say 'Next time'? You just say where and when and I'm there! And this time, I promise I'll stop letting off the gas just to hear the Blow-off valves do their thing!

I was kinda embarrassed at first because in my car, once the clutch is released, you can put your right foot on the floor and the car just goes (i.e. not enough torque to break it loose). I had no idea what kind of power I was dealing with in your car, thus the spinning tires! I'll have to kick in a few bucks for your next set of shoes!

Thanks again for the great drive though. It really was a pleasure.

I love that car. It actually helped me make my decision to buy a Z especially after I saw it in the video killing the EVO.

Thanks, your car is great too. I am sure you cant wait to install your SC that is sitting in your garage. Everything is cusom in my car, the engine cant go without headers, pipes, cooling system. The AC line was rerouted too. The rear bumper was re-worked to receive the single huge exhaust. Not talking about the fuel line and dual disk clutch. Nothing is impossible but it just doesn't make sens. Also I am not trying to get money by selling parts. At one point I will just have to let the car go. Thank you again for your interest.
