Can't believe there has not been more interest! She's still on the lmgt4's as my mate is having some money problems. Would prefer to go as is as the Nismo's improved the look/drive dramatically in my opinion!

Quick cheeky shot:

One of my favourite pics of recent taken in Cochem!!

Also am willing to part ex for cheap diesel as could use a cheap to run daily!

A friend of mine wants to buy the wheels, so will be going with standard rays. Price reduced accordingly to £12200 ono ðŸ‘

Forgot to add that I will include all my spare bits in with the sale, including Nissan coolest, spare interior bits, steering wheel, wheel spacer, sparewheel oem Bose unit and probably some other bits I've forgotten.

I also should have added I am open to sensible offers as I have only advertised on here for now since I want it to go to another enthusiast ideally 😊

Thanks for the comments 😊 Will truely be sad to see her go but am just not using her enough to justify keeping. Hopefully will go to another enthusiast who will cherish just as much as I have!

She is a 2008 350z coupe with 39k miles on the clock, genuine pearl white from the factory, along with the factory fitted Nismo option. This was the closest the UK ever got to having a Nismo edition 350z, and to find a HR such as this is quite rare. She also has full Nissan service history, with any other work being carried out by Nissan specialists Abbey Motorsport. These guys will vouch for the car I am sure, they are a great bunch and I would encourage the new owner to pay them a visit should they need anything doing!

She has all of the usual GT spec extras:

• Brembos
  
• Heated leather seats
  
• Xenon headlights
  
• Steering wheel audio controls
  
• Bose sound system
  
• Cruise control
  
• Bluetooth (not a usual extra)
  

Then having the Factory Nismo pack, she also has the Nismo front and rear bumpers, with side skirts and spoiler. The Nismo induction kit makes a lovely sound, and although people say that open filters make slightly less power, the >1hp differance is more than compensated for by the engine note it produces with these!

This one also benefits from the 19" Nismo LMGT4 Rays, which are immaculate as I will describe in more detail below, and are painted in Rays Bronze.

These cars, in my opinion, need very few modifications, as they are amazing straight from the factory. I have however changed a few things that I felt needed upgrading to bring everything up to the same standard. These include:

Brakes & Suspension:

Standard Brembo GT spec setup, with OEM discs, Endless MX RS front pads £400 delivered from JDM land! Well used now however still have a fair bit of life left being endurance high temp pads. Rears again are OEM discs with YellowStuff pads.

For those that are interested I have included a link here to read up on how great Endless pads really are: http://www.endlessus...brake-pads/mxrs - in a nutshell they work from road temperatures all the way along to high temps that would only be found from race pads. So you have the best of both worlds.

Always have only used SuperBlue brake fluid, and has just had a fresh lot put in at the beginning of April.

Standard springs and shocks still, that work like new being such low millage. Have installed Eibach adjustable front and rear antiroll bars with adjustable droplinks.

Engine & Exhaust:

Aside from the Nismo induction kit, the engine I have left pretty much standard, it has been remapped at Abbey Motorsport using UpRev to get the most out of the engine. I feel that 320-330bhp was more than enough for me, and never found it lacked power.

The exhaust is rather special, it was again yet another no expense spared decision, so I went for a Amuse R1 titanium duel exhaust. This is, again in my own opinion one of the nicest exhausts for any Japanese car, and it really transformed the exhaust tone. The beauty of these is that under low revs they are surprisingly quiet, so you can drive along and actually have a conversation with your passenger! I also added Berk decat pipes, which surprisingly do not fail emissions tests on MOT's!!

Running Gear:

This car has been absolutely faultless in my ownership over the last 3 years, the only thing that I have ever had to address has been clutch related! The clutch went soon after I bought her, so I had a JWT clutch and lightweight flywheel kit imported from the states, and fitted along with new fluids etc. The difference the lightweight flywheel makes is very impressive, the engine revs up a lot quicker. This coupled with the remapping that removes the 3 stage throttle sensor makes it feel more like a racing car to some degree! I have also had the slave cylinder replaced as that failed on me, this was a common problem so now it has been addressed and replaced for a newer unit, should not happen again.

Interior:

Inside the car is still very standard. The only thing I replaced was the headunit, for a Pioneer AppRadio MP3 unit. It is quite nice, as you can link your apps on your phone to it, to control them through the stereo screen. This unit also replaces the Nissan Bluetooth unit and is much better quality to. It connects any usb device to play MP3s and video etc.

Wheels & Tyres:

As I said, the LMGT 4's are in fantastic condition, having been treated with g5 compound to maintain the paint, and to stop dirt/brake dust accumulating and fading the colour. All wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Supersports. Still all road legal however they will need changing before to much longer depending on how the car is driven.

Now onto the pictures:

Bad Points:

I think any car that has been driven off a forecourt will have its bad points, luckily with this there is not to many. The rear bumper plastic has two small deformities in the plastic, like creases I guess you could call them, only 3 cm long each, no broken paint or anything, it was like this when I bought her and I wanted to have the rear bumper resprayed at some point. I was currently in the process of sourcing a reputable body shop to carry out the work. Also the old exhaust system that was on the car has heated up and scorched slightly underneath the rear bumper. This is not visible but as I mentioned I spend a lot of time cleaning the silly bits, I have tried and tried to get this out over the years with no luck - hence the respray wanted. There are also the odd few stone chips on the front bumper as with any car. Nothing to nasty but they are there all the same, and again I would ideally liked to have had this rectified but I realise from previous experience that having a front bumper resprayed to remove stone chips only makes the next lot of stone chips more infuriating! The interior is pretty immaculate which is rare for these cars since they chip so easily. When I was looking for the right Z I found so many that were chipped to buggery I knew I had to find one that wasn't. There are the odd few small marks inside but I would say that it is still better than 99% of other z's interiors. One wheel has part of the S missing from the Nismo sticker to!

Had MOT in April and past as usual with no advisory's.

Price is £13800

Sorry for the long post! thanks for viewing, and if I have missed anything please let me know!

That's what I would have thought but was unsure if there was a way to connect to one and then split to both pipes somehow. I thought I had seen this done with some turbo kits before?

I know the kit is for de engines, just wasn't sure if any of the guru's new weather this could be fitted to a HR in some way or another.

Will this kit fit the HR does anyone know?

Looking to get a new battery for my HR 350z, want to get from halfords as I go through a new battery each year from not using the car over winter and every trickle charger I buy breaking, so would like to get the 3 year warranty so I can swap it each year should it die again.

Putting the reg or even the 350z details into the halfrods battery search brings up no results, I was wondering if anyone has bought a battery from them recently and could give me the model # they bought? Its a uk spec not JDM by the way.

Thanks

Don't mean to hijack the thread but was thinking of getting a few people to come for a mini car meet at blue water to maybe get food and perhaps cinema to, how many people were thinking of seeing Logan? As was thinking around it's release?

I have this same system on my 350z... Sounds incredible and is unbelievably light!

**SOLD**

Selling the standard ARB's (front and rear) from my 2008 350z. These are in great condition having only covered 33k dry miles.

£10 collected for the both from SE London. Delivery is £10 due to length of the package (being over 1m)

Quick bump before it goes on eBay this evening.

These are differant fitment to leather jackets. I struggle to fit into xl leathers however I found the textile to be a lot looser. I am 5'8 and am quite broad and this still fits me very well with a little room to spare.

http://www.alpinestars.com/size-guide/?key=14692991951719286761

That's the Alpinestars fitment guide however I am unsure how accurate it actually is. I find trying things on to be the best way of telling. If your not to far away your welcome to pop by one day to try it on?

I am in London, SE to be exact, close to Bromley if that's any good to you?

Having acquired to many motorcycle suits, jackets, leathers etc, I have decided to try to clear some space in my cupboard and sell a few items I am no longer using as often.

This is a textile Alpinestars jacket in black/white. it has back protector, and elbow protection. It also has a removeable lining that helps keep you warm during the colder months. The jacket being textile is waterproof and is a fantastic commuter jacket. It has various pockets inside to keep items safe. It is in good condition, and has never been down the road.

The size is L, which according to Alpinestars is 42 1/8 - 43 3/4 inches. This fits me nicely and I have a slightly larger chest.

Am looking for £40 delivered.

**SOLD**

That's correct I am after an actual rear diffuser, not a clip on job. I've found a decent cf one so may just take a chance!

Ah cool I'll send him over a message 😄 Thanks ðŸ‘

Looking for a battered old rear diffuser someone may have laying around as want to have a play retro fitting to my Nismo rear bumper keeping the spats in place but don't want to buy new only to find it's not possible.

Anything about? 😄😄

Got a real hankering for this and I don't know why: shrug: Throw the dog into the boot at weekends perhaps

Exactly. Great motor for doing that type of thing.

Exactly! And if he starts to annoy you put your foot down and pin him to the rear window!

Already listed on fleabay 😊

Went to my local bike dealer today and the bike I am after is in stock, so temporarily I am lowering the price to £1700 if sold within 48-72 hours. I will also include all my spare bits, driveshafts, whole set of tyres etc.

The price will go back up if not sold by Thursday as this bike will not be around long meaning I will need to order one in and wait over a month for delivery!

Saw you parked (quite badly at first 😂) on the hill just after Chislehurst high street. Guessing you were visiting someone for the weekend? Car looked good and very nice wheel colour!
