Not destined to be a razor blade. Saving an AE86 GTS hatch - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

This is amazig dude I can't wait for it to be in you posession. I just bought an S13 Coupe SE with 95,xxx original miles. The interiors is utterly flawless besides needing a good cleaning and it has the HUD. One original owner who bought it from Nissan back in '92.

Cons: Automatic transmission and paint oxidizing on rear bumper. Other than that it's solid.

Seems like this is everyone's year to start their 'next big thing'.

Hell yeah awesome find!!! I had two 86 gts and I miss both of em. Wish I'd never sold em but I love my s13's more.

very cool find Yuri and speaking of 240Z's. I will not forget the clean stripped out 72 that Racepar1 and I ran across in pick a part. We both looked at each other and said track car. We came back a week later and that car was gone. It was pretty obvious someone had snapped it up. It had only been dropped right before we found it.

What you did is what most people who are into classics should do when they see these things at the Yards. Don't hesitate try to make the purchase.

so rad that you saved that thing. every time i go to pick n pull i'm always tempted to salvage the classics that i see, but i have yet to come across one in as good condition/complete as that 86

can't wait to see it back on the road!

you are really lucky i have never seen any of those cars ever and you have found 3 different ones

Gizmo_S13 · 03-07-2013, 11:31 AM

How much was it? You're lucky you got it quick. A GTS hatch was dumped in my junkyard and within a week it was COMPLETELY stripped.

The week I sold my SR5, I went to the junkyard and saw a 2-tone silver and black GTS coupe get put in the yard, and by the time I passed it again on my way out (20 minutes later) it had been completely stripped. If my GTS had been put in on a weekend, I'd never have been able to save it.

No doubt about that, I'm talking about.complete chassis though lol This one had a hicomp in it. It had a bride bucket, LSD rear end, complete interior, all that steez. I got to see it the day it left the lot it was a bare shell.

*Yuri* · 03-29-2013, 03:19 AM

Quick update. The yard crushed the 86 by mistake.

However, I am so set on AE86 ownership now that I ended up trading my daily driver Miata straight up for this:

Ohh man, that's tragic.

Cool coupe, though.

Can we change the thread title to "A Razor blade after all..."?

Coupes with JDM bumpers look SO GOOD. Making me reconsider snatching one of these up.
