Seeing as I've now found the track toy Im after Michelle is making me sell the zed (I cant have both so unfortunately the zed has to go ) Make: Nissan Model: 350z (UK) Engine: 3.5 V6 Year: 2004 ('04 plate) Colour: Chilli Red Mileage: 54,000 M.O.T : October Tax: march 14 Some Background: Previously Craig Mudd’s car which won numerous concourse competitions see below a bit of info relating to this:- Whilst modifying the car, craig pretty much got the car to concourse standard. The car had a full respray in Feb 2009 in order for craig to be able to compete in the competitions. Standard Nissan paint is far too soft and can swirl and mark easily. As it stands the paint work is in great condition. And more recently the original front and rear bumpers have been painted and re-fitted (After the chargespeed bodykit was removed). The Front bumper number plate holder has been removed and the holes smoothed to give a better look. The number plate has been relocated to the intake grille.Black zunsort grille replaced the original silver nissan one. In Feb 2009 The underbody of the car was cleaned and then Schutz painted. Everything was masked off neatly so the underneath of the car looks as new. All aluminium Exhaust heatshields have been polished. All 4 wheel arches have been scrubbed and cleaned. They are now free of wax and all the aluminium suspension components are also free from wax. This makes them easier to clean, and they always look like new. The front arch liners were replaced for brand new items. The engine bay was been thoroughly cleaned and all wax and dirt has been removed. In March 2009 Samco Coolant hoses and an uprated 50mm aluminium radiator were fitted, the coolant was replaced with – Fuchs Eskimo Antifreeze. At the same time the Gearbox oil and Rear Differential oil were replaced with – Silkolene Silktrans Syn5 75W-90 Fully Synthetic Gear Oil. The brake fluid was also replaced (When I fitted the K-sport brakes) and has subsequently been replaced again in August 2010 when the original Brembo brakes were refitted. All MOT’s and tax discs are present. All services are stamped in the Warranty book.

yes mate its still for sale but I aint giving it away....oh and for anyone out there that is looking for a concourse car this isn't one....its close but it aint concourse its just in very good nick for an 04 with some nice tasteful mods on it

Will you might do as if I keep the zed may just buy a separate track toy...

Wasn't intending using we buy just pointing out the car is worth a sensible amount etc. don't need to sell the car just want a track toy is all so not going to give it away. The one place you'd expect people to support not selling zeds cheap would be on here remember people the more you devalue other people's zeds the less yours will be worth etc...

Lol it's done 55k not 155.... I'd get 5500 we buy any etc. not in any hurry we've already got the s4 so ill leave it for sale and if it sells it sells if it doesn't it won't be till march next year where I'll be a bit more determined as I want to be sprinting April onwards next year

Well after 4 visits from various people one by proxy and the inane picking fault with very minor stone chips or the decals (which will come off and its only 4 year old paintwork on a 04!!) or wanting to take the carbon off or put GT seats back in it Im beginning to think id rather keep the car.....Ive prepped the car 4 times this week already and quite frankly its starting to do my nut in a little...Ive also starting to think that maybe Im letting it go too cheaply, im not in any hurry to sell it and by the time its gone im not going to get any track stuff in this year anyhow due to commitments etc. What do you reckon guys? Put it back up to 7200?

Yeah we had to miss wales as it clashed with other stuff this year and missed the lakes due to my redundancy etc. Gumtree have removed the offending article great spot guys!!!

thanks guys for spotting this ive reported it as ive not posted it etc, im not in surrey and it certainly aint for sale at 4 grand.....

ha ha very funny dave...my response is mind the gap!! Vik many thanks for the kind words. Michelle thinks the same as you... I think its just priced right etc. Its up for 7200 on autotrader so the forum price is for the right person and is minus the wiggle room etc. Want it to go to a good home and will prob miss it the moment it goes off the driveway. Do have a S4 cab coming next week to console myself with though and the replacement for the zed will deffo bring a smile.....

cant get the photos to upload due to there size and I need to drop michelle off at work pm me your email address mate and ill email you the photos of the graphics. there not over the whole car by any means mate

[/img][/img] not great photos (iphone ) and it needs a clean but that should do you.

pm replied just picked the messages up.

many thanks guys just time for a change. The car has been awesome and will probably miss it when its gone. Both michelle and I have had some great times with the club.

fine mate lol just a bit sore at the time + glass back to go with it mate never helps.

lol have you found where the brake peddle is yet?

cheers guys we are going to look at a 3.2 boxter this weekend so it may be a good option. lol Ian never said I intended to go fast.......especially with michelle as a passenger.........lol

didnt think boxsters even the s were very quick and as they are still a porker will cost more to run/fix/mod etc i discounted the z4 for the same reason. VX is looking more likely as a stage 2 (240 bhp) turbo version has some power as well as the handling aspects and there easy to mod. Ive been told im not allowed to sc the zed so that out as its way to heavy with its current power. Evo is out as im a bit long in the tooth for evos. So I think the next stage is to go look and drive a few of the candidates as I might get in a vx/elise and hate it lol. My heart would go with the type r and build it up but ive been there and know what it ended up costing me lol M3 is still a possibility though

looked at 996's but there a bit too much money atm we are thinking that will be the next main car in 3 or 4 years when a few more funds have been freed up looked at cayman s as an option as well but again a bit too much right now etc

lol forgot about the z4 half the cost of a vx or elise which would leave some wiggle room for bigger brakes coilovers. dont know if z4s have a easy sc option etc. stage 2 vx turbo generates 240 bhp but as rich says are a bit tinny or I could buy a my99 type r for 7k bang a forged 2.5 in it for 3k (engine tuner) 20g td05 and have 450/450 out of the box motor for 10-12k tough decisions.

probably up to 10k ish. Ive probably 6k ish available without having to go to the bank

well having been made redundant and then done the perfect thing of getting a better job and starting it prior to my gardening leave finishing I will now be in need of a new motor as the new job (8 miles from my house) doesnt come with the company oil burner.......which means I can have whatever I like (within reason ££££) It does mean I get to do some trackdays again and have a few options:- buy michelle a new car and track prep the zed (craigs old car for any that dont know us etc) I reckon this is an expensive option.. daily driver and track toy potentials:- 3.2v6 quattro tt and prep it and use it as my daily driver as well buy a stage 2 vx220 turbo (wont need much preping) 02-04 lotus elise decent type r impreza similar spec to my last 400/400 i.e 2.5,6speed etc (this will be a pain day to day though) forged evo6 maybe stretch to a 7 possibly a fq again reckon this is a costly option day to day r33 skyline rx8 ( cheap to buy not sure about preping one for trackwork though etc) any other ideas guys. also maybe e30 plus a daily driver or possibly even stretch to a e46 as both daily and tracktoy.
