hiya fella

i had a go for you, i say go for it

Thorpe park is awesome not too far from me, i havent tried Saw yet, but if you liked Thorpe Park you should go on Fright Nights, everything is halloween themes and they have horror film themed mazes with real people in them its crazy!!

Good to know thankyou fella.

Looking to buy in the first quarter of next year, im just so ridiculously fussy.

looks like ill be searching around for some extra's from the JDM models then!

Do the Rays wheels sell for much? as ill be changing the wheels anyway so worthwhile me finding a Z with them on if they are worth something.

Theres one that colour that works buy me, stunning car really stands out

Just a quick question really as to why they are on some Z's, assuming they were an optional extra with the GT pack when buying new, as with the satnav? Are there any other sneaky cool extra's to look for when buying a Z ?

ive got one as my run around and its such an awesome car!!

Some mega money in those! I love Dodo, lime prime is a brilliant product.

I think hes out of order by only posting up that picture he should post up a few clear pictures of all the damage, but i supposed he would mention it all on the phone if you rang him. Ive heard through the grapevine he has been enquiring into getting it repaired though so fingers crossed for him that he does.

Yeah you can, there is lacquer on it just like metallic paint, so wax and polish away

don't see why he's gotta lie about it, why not just say what actually happened, see now it makes you think what else is he lying about?

rear wheel looks like the front, quite badly buckled so would need replacing, and the skirt skirt needs a slight repair. I really hope it gets fixed by himself/someone else, because the car is just incredbile to look, even sitting there damaged it has so much presence its unreal.

Someone needs to post up some K1 videos!.... dying to hear it! Is there a thread somewhere with videos and sounds of each exhaust, cant find anything. Would like to hear a nismo, but K1 seems to be the future.

Just been to have a look, as its 2 minutes from where i work, and oh my god does it make me want my veilside 350z more and more!

But, he needs to describe the damage better on his advert to save people driving a long way to see it just to be dissapointed, the front bumper and n/s arch obviously need replacing, the n/s front wheel and tyre need replacing, the n/s side skirt is damaged but can probably be repaired, and the n/s/r wheel and tyre need replacing too, plus any suspension.

Such a shame because apart from that the car is so incredibly awesome, even parked up with the damage the it just screams 'look at me im evil!'

The rear spoiler looks so wavy though, as if its not genuine or just not painted very well.

Wish him luck with the sale but cant see it going for 18K.

18K for the car, + if you have to buy a whole set of arches thats like £600, new front bumper is about £700? New wheel, if you can one wont be cheap and any other work. Definatley too expensive.

I hope he sells to someone who will fix it up and not just leave it damaged, would be a big waste if this car now sinks into the 'once a great car now a shitter' category.

if it was just the bumper/arch then he could be telling the truth but the impact on the wheel to me says hes not, plus is extremely unlike that no suspension damage is there.

People keep saying you cant get replacement kits now, but you can import them from america.

Such a shame, ive just realised whos this car is (was) and its 5 minutes from me! Shame about the accident damage really

hello sub zero, what kind of additional help are you offering?

supplying the kit etc?

Phone the chap up today, it all seems very legit to be honest.

All work was done here 2 years ago by a company called enginetuner in plymouth, he has full service history and complete reciepts for all work done.

I may go have a nose over the weekend or early next week.

Only down the road from me may go have a nose at the weekend and see what the crack is.

P15ULT - exactly what i was thinking.

Id have a descriptions much much longer than that going into serious detail about the engine and who done the work. Not even a mention of mileage.

I know that all to well.

But, when it comes to a higher end car such as the 350z, with an engine worth a fortune, you would generally see them for sale for a fair whack more (maybe not the full cost of the conversion but you get my drift).

Sorry if this is a repost.

Spotted this on pistonsheads:

First off i dont want to offend anyone if its theirs

Now, by my calculations, either the price is very far out or the car is... not great!

A 2005 standard Z sells for what, £13-£15k ?

From speaking to a few tuning tunings companys the average price of a twin turbo conversion costs around £8,000, and that gets a maximum of 400bhp safely (without changing internals).

To safely go above 400bhp you need to change the internals for forged items as far as im aware, which i have seen quotes for in excess of 10/12grand. This claims to be 430bhp so you presume it would have uprated internals i.e. costing the owner an absolute fortune.

So why is it for sale for one about 1or2 grand more than the cars worth?

Or have i got my figures wrong? hmmm.....

If not then this is absolute steal!!! and would be THE perfer buy for me, unfortunatly i prefect modifying myself as i now that everything has been done to a high standard.

Discuss?

I like the arches, but i couldn't live with that front bumper. i like ibherdesign they used to create some outstanding kits but nowdays they tend to be building kits with a futuristic look and i just dont know it works....

hmm.... that kit with a veilside front bumper possibily....

Cheers guys
