Just a casal browing in craigslist and...(car trade)
this is the outcome. All happened so suddenly. Traded my SC for Z32TT and I can't believe I did that.
Edit: pardon my spelling/grammar... been a long day.

Thanks!
Maintenance was all done within last 3 months. I was concerned about getting into a TT especially the Z because I know it's PITA to work on but everything checked out except for slight idle problem which isn't difficult to diagnose and repair. It has over $4000 in upgrades on the car already and another plus is that it was a garage queen.

Congragulations.
The ZX was a real classic. I'd have a mechanic/technician check out the turbos, though...90's vintage turbos were not as durable or foolproof as they are today, espcially if the owner did not routinely warm them up or spin-cool them down properly after a hard run. And use either synthetic or Turbo-Approved petroleum oil.

The idle issue is still there. I tried cleaning procedures of electrical connectors, replaced couple of sensors, clean throttle bodies and Idle Air Valve... It's gotten better but not perfect. That's the only issue. Now I'm thinking it may be the aftermarket injectors. Plan to keep it for a long time and rebuild it to handle 600+hp.
1SICK- thanks that is the reason this is my 2nd Z.
GS3TEK- Sure these are some more recent pics:
These were taken after I detailed it couple of weeks ago:
