i paid $1300 for my 86 turbo 5 speed manual and the only thing i had to buy for it was one tire. runs great but needs a little body work and some touch up on the paint...
I paid $800 for it at an auction, promptly blew the engine and replaced it with another rebuilt and overbored VG30E for $2500 (didn't think about the turbo at the time), body and paint for $1500 finished last week and another $1K in random repairs/upgrades/replacements. I'm still looking at rims/tires, a rebuilt tranny, and replacing the interior. Talk about love of the brand!
My nissan does sound like a lot but yes I am from Australia and the conversion is not $0.80 its more like $0.65 making mine worth about $8000US. Thats just what they are worth here. We must have higher import taxes making the overall prices higher, very few of the 300zx'a were sold new in Australia.

$8k is about right for an NA. I'm stupid and didn't see you were in Australia.

I paid $750 for my 86 turbo 5 speed. It needs some rust damage repaired. It has a grinding noise (speed dependant) in the rear of the car. There's a clunk between shifts. And other minor issues. But, I think I received an awesome deal on the car. Considering it came with a JWT ecu, 3" turbo back exhaust, 88ss springs, manual boost controller, and fresh rear suspension bushings on the lower control arms.
i bought mine in october, about 2hrs from here, knew the guy tho i think i got a good deal, it did have some minor things wrong tho, bad window motor, gas gauge isnt working, power steering leak, i give my paint a fair rating good motor i gave $1000 cash for it, drove it home
lol i have you beat by a little, every thing works fine and it only has 150k on it, just a little rust, but i can fix it and i picked it up for a grand

Intake, Front and Rear Strut bars, Major exhaust leak.98style tail lights, clear corners, and halo angle eyes, Hot Shot headers/Downpipe(still need money for the rest of it)
$1,000 for an '85 turbo with a trashed body + an '85 N/A with a trashed motor. I haven't put any more money into it yet, but with the turbo motor stripped down to the block and sitting beside a shell of a car, I've got a few $K more to go before I can start riding off into the sunset.
