Havent decided yet to be honest. There's no doubt in my mind though - i WILL have another 350Z at some point! Its just not the right time to have £10k tied up in a car - i'd rather have the ££ in the bank as a buffer, just in case the unkown bites me on the arse!! Cheers

i know - too bloody quick!! Wanted to shift it before the insurance needed renewing in Nov, but didnt expect it to go for my revised asking price this quickly - lovely car though, gutted to see it drive away Why was it that it looked and sounded amazing as the guy drove away?!!!!!

NOW, VERY SADLY SOLD

No leather, no cruise, no Bose - complete sound system replaced anyway. alloys upgraded to rare GT4's no idea whether interior is upgraded I'm afraid.

price now reduced for quick(er) sale! More pics added - link to pistonheads advert here: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1246199.htm

no im afraid not - i followed the excellent guides elsewhere on this forum, and replaced the stock speakers with infinity's - the door cards and grill cover these up now

Cheers, thank you!

yes thats right, so cloth seats, and no sat nav cheers

Not meant to be arty - was trying to show no dents etc. Its unmodified inside, and so i didnt see the point in photographing that bit! If you are interested, i have many more photos that i could send you So glad i posted this ad on here now.........

well, i invested in a small underseat sub - works a treat!! Never gonna keep up with the serious ICE installs, but still sounds good!!

Spray grease worked a treat - thanks!!

thank you!! For sale now though unfortunately

no, i appreciate that, i just didnt notice that i hadnt quite reached the 50 mark - apologies, not trying to break any rules, honest!!

price now added. 50 posts - im only 6 away!! Feel free to remove however

Regrettably im selling my toy due to work issues. Its a lovely condition black 350z on an 04 plate - reg number not included. Runs beautifully. lovely condition GT4 alloys with excellent bridgestone tyres 2 previous owners - approx 63k miles Full main dealer service history - last service was the major one, and had drive belts changed. Only 3.5k miles since service. brand new MOT - tax till Nov, but will be refreshed if it runs out before sold. Nice unmolested condition - UK car. Sympathetic ICE upgrade replacing standard speakers and head unit with equally discreet infinity's and a clarion HU, with underseat subwoofer. Sympathetic exhaust upgrade - gives a lovely rumble / burble, without being too chavvy! New HKS panel filter too. Price £9995 ono

Well, after a little heart-ache The GT4 wheels are finally sorted and on the car In my (slightly biased) opinion.... i think they look great!! [attachment=2]Picture1.png[/attachment] [attachment=1]Picture2.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=0]Picture3.jpg[/attachment]

Really, i didnt know that......note to self, dont ever powder coat or chrome these wheels!! Got the advice of a 'specialist' wheel company, who had shown me many examples of refurbished wheels which were infinitely worse than mine to start with. They stated that they simply wouldnt carry out any repair if they werent 100% satisfied that they were 100% safe afterwards. Mine had no signs of cracking or structural damage whatsoever, apart from the buckle that is I couldnt ask for more really, and certainly wouldnt want to risk my life with potentially dangerous wheels.

OMG, check out the first wheel in that vid!!!!

cheers MattG Well there is a light at the end of this tunnel! Im sure some of you will cringe at this, but ive had the wheel inspected, and there are no signs of real damage (other than the actual buckle itself) - no cracks, or other potentially dangerous faults have been found. Therefore, im getting it straightened. I know this is potentially dangerous, but ive been assured that its not, and all being well i should have it sorted by the end of the week. To be fair, the seller (and i know he posts on here sometimes) has been very good and has paid 3/4's of the repair bill and has assured me that he did not know it was buckled. Im sure the words of wisdom will follow, re fixing a wheel!!! These comments are very welcome by the way

well, disaster has struck!! Took the new GT4 wheels to my local ATS to have the new tyres fitted, and was all going well, until they came to one of the rears. Turns out, that one of the rears is buckled, and isnt really safe to use. No noticable damage, just wobbly when they tried to balance it. No idea if the seller knew this or not, and so i have asked paypal if i have any protection for this sort of thing. Im sure it can be fixed - unless im told otherwise, but its been a frustrating day!

And they're not in as good condition - these wont stay unsold for long, good luck with sale! 3 days ago id have snapped your hand off, but found some GT4's for similar money, but with crap tyres!

BARGAIN ALERT!!!

....oh right!! Ive not heard of the GT4 wheels being referred to as inferior quality compared to the rays before!! However, in my subjective opinion, i prefer the styling of these GT4 wheels to the Rays. The weight saving is not an issue - style was the biggest factor in chosing replacement wheels, as i would imagine would be in the majority of cases? Again IMHO, the weight saving in the forged rays would not be noticable - now if i was driving my westfield that only weighed 500Kgs, then yes, those extra few grammes would make a difference. Until i had a good breakfast that is, and then all the lightweight bits are pointless!!!!

well they'll be on at the weekend / early next week - hopefully get to meet a few of you at the PH sunday BBQ at Nissan in July anyway?
