Desert Survivor being sold by a very legit Ebay seller If you have any concerns about our vehicle, please ask or dont bid on it. Dont wait till after you win and then make up stuff on wondering if we are real or not. FEEDBACK !!! if you cant take 10 min to read thru our feedback on the cars we have sold here over the last 10 yrs, then you also shouldnt be bidding on our auctions. Ebay offers our Feedback rating for a reason,... try trusting it. BRIEF DESCRIPTION: this is a nice unmolested survivor Z on its way to being restored back to its glory. It has sat for a few yrs but the last owner did some work and drove the car for about 5 yrs as a daily driver. Making routine trips from Tucson to Phx as well. The last owner had the car for a few yrs and it was a daily driver up until about a yr ago. Its been parked mostly this last yr, driven very little. Since then its started having a running problem. It starts with the key pretty much all the time no problem, but when its cold, it stumbles and runs rough. If I let it warm up for about 5 min it runs better, good enough to drive around, but not 100% like normal. It could be the gas from sitting or a sensor out causing it to run like it is. My guess maybe the Engine Temp Sensor that sends a signal to the Air vane meter (MAF) could be bad, Ive just not had enough time to research it more in depth. When its running better and warmed up, the motor sounds great, good power and no weird noises or smoke. Rest of the drive train feels fine (IE trans etc..)
DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, apparently some people who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules. So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid. Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!! These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition that are still affordable to most buyers.
DRIVETRAIN: we believe the motor to be the original, EFI with the factory 5 spd. We mentioned the rough running when cold above. Some new parts put on last few yrs are: clutch and resurface flywheel / belts vaccum lines / fuel filter / plugs / NGK wires / cap n rotor / coil / K&N Air filter / charcoal canister / battery tray and 2 injectors / TPS sensor throttle body intake boot oem style . Whats even nicer is this car is a still very close to original and not been modded by a kid and not torn up. Fix the cold running issue and youll have a great daily driver.
INTERIOR: take a look at the pics, the interior of this car is pretty clean and nice for its age. Far from perfect but okay for a daily driver. Wouldnt take much to restore. Glove box door isnt properly attached and one of the trim pieces is missing on from one of the Ttops. All the gauges on the dash seem to be properly working except the talking warning system. Still has stock Nissan radio not sure if its working or not, but it lites up. Could just have a bad speaker, not sure. Carpet in the rear deck area missing. As is the jack and spare. It wouldnt take much to finish it at all. Car is equipped with PW and Cruise Control, some pretty rare options. Windshield has a crack, rest of the glass is good. This is also a factory AC car too. Cant say its working 100% but it looks all to be there at least.
EXTERIOR:the body is almost 100% original. It has rear window louvers at one time, but they are missing. About 20 yrs ago the car had a minor fender bender, best we can tell it was just the LF fender. It was replaced with just an okay unit and the car had a repaint at the time. Now the clear coat is flaking off from the Az sun and paint has some fade to it. Also, the replacement fender actually has a rust spot on it. Its the only rust we can find anywhere on the car because rest of the car of course is Az sheetmetal, the lf fender is not. Check out all the pics, we have sold several of these Zs over the last few yrs and I know where they commonly rust. This car does not have those issues. There is minor bubbling around the top and bottom of the front windshield, thats about it. And if this happens to an AZ car, I cant imagine how bad it would be on a non AZ car. Also for some reason the rear brake lights stay on. My guess its the brake lite switch under the dash, but havent had time to check it out. Ive been removing the battery cable for now when its not being used. Front lower valance a little beat up from parking blocks. SUSPENSION:the suspension very rust free making it easy to work on in the future, thats for sure. The rear struts are new blue Tokicos. The car also have new front ball joints, I think front struts too, front wheel bearings n seals, steering rack boots, rear differential mount, along with some urethane bushings new in the front end. It may have a new set of 1" drop springs in the car too. The car handles and drives nice for its age and level of restoration. These are are easy to work on, and very easy to find all sorts of parts for too. Brakes feel fine and work great. Im sure Im missing something, but email us with any questions.

There you have it, probably The BEST represented Zs on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days speaks volumes. This is a great car to restore, Z values are on the rise ! day when you feel the need, and watch it appreciate for yrs to come. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. No worries here, and we post legit large pics to prove it.
