adding to my S chasis is a Z project!
Hey guys, im new here (obviously) I am a s13 owner and i built my car from the ground up. 1990 Hatch, RB25det swap (currently building a rb30) makes about 450whp. fully caged. all suspension set up for drifting. 180sx kit, widebody fenders, blah blah. heres a pic, some of you may have seen it on stancenation or other sites of the like...
but anyway besides that im not here to talk about that car. I recently just found what i though was a damn good deal to pass up. It is a 2003 350z with about 80k on it with a blown motor(not sure whats wrong yet) that i was able to score for a very very low price. The title is rebuilt and i ran the car fax on it shows a side impact and rear a few years ago. The outside body work looks good but inside the hatch area needs some work. that cross brace is a little dinged up somehow. and the rear hatch needs to be replaced and the latch mechanism. Besides that the previous owner really shouldn't have touched the car
wood screws are holding a lot of the interior panels on, bolts missing everywhere. its a mess but its going to be restored and look better than ever!. my plans are to get a new motor in there, get it running and driving then start to tackle the interior. once its all in one solid piece i may put coilovers on it and some nice wheels and call it a day. would be a nice new daily for me and a backup drift car if need be.
I really wish i could stuff my RB30 built motor in this thing and just keep running a rb25 in my drift car. but i can't see that happening with CT obd2 emissions oh well thanks for looking guys i hope to learn a lot about these cars on here and hopefully find what i need for parts. this car is totally foreign and new to me but im glad i found myself another nissan!

Just got very lucky. Found someone who had no way of fixing this car and he needed money badly. It was posted on Craigslist and a few people looked at it but I showed up with my trailer and cash so I got it first I guess. Rest is history Had a title and keys so that's all I cared about
