Hi guys, zed sold back on December - said times but it's time to close the chapter on this story and start to explore another. I've now got myself a 435d gran coupe so I can have the little one in the back and load the boot up too

BUMP - dropping price to £9500

Followed this chap around the NC500 lovely car and never thought I would see the day it goes up for sale - good luck with the sale mate 

Ah Colin, you know how much I love this car, I've been toying with the idea of keeping it or selling it since my little one was born. Now that he's 20 months there's more activities we can do together as a family so the zed is getting less and less use. Only 400 miles since the last MOT, which definitely means it's time for it to go to someone who will enjoy it just as much as I did, and time for me to get a family car!

Overall a nice looking Z, might be worth you sticking an MOT on which will help the sale for this low mileage example.

Thanks mate - new MOT just done today 🙂

It is with a heavy heart that I put my beloved 350z finally up for sale. The reason for selling is I am now a proud father and 2 seats just doesn't work for us, even as my weekend toy, I've not had as much opportunity to use the zed as I would have liked and I'd rather it go to another enthusiast who will long continue the smiles per gallon that I received. 

You can see the full build thread on the link below - I bought the car totally stock and then had some mods done to it, including an Uprev with pops & bangs map as well as valet mode.

I have been servicing it myself the last few years, however in the most recent service, the oil was still fairly golden when I changed it, as I had done less than 1000 miles in 1 year.

It has the usual wear and tear you'd expect from a 2008 car, it's also seen a lot of beautiful roads, including Wales and the Scottish NC500 and so had the peppered bumper which could do with a once over.

The rear bumper is an original Chargespeed, which you'll be able to see from my build thread.

Also the original number plate will be going back on the car.

I'm looking for £9500 ONO.

So nice just being able to carry out an annual service yourself, I can think of a time when il ever want to pay a garage for the task. Do you run an undertray and is that your normal brand of oil?

I just have the standard plastic undertray mate and I'll either use Shell or Castrol 5w30 

Another year gone, another service completed...not done anything new for a long time so just keeping my maintenance log updated here. Car has only done 58,705 miles so far and running sweet as if brand new 

Changed the oil and oil filter - cleaned out the HKS air filters and popped them back in.

I think I was probably the last one to buy from Chris at Tarmac. It did take a fair bit of work to fit properly, but have had no problem since it's been on and I love the look of it!

Just ordered one too, thanks for the link!

This was the only half decent one I managed to pull out. That lamp post behind us was over-exposing the shot too much

I think your colour looks spot on as it is! If you want to change the look, like others said do it with a standard car if poss. Would be a shame to see such a nice looking zed get cut up

Can vouch for Moog - got my driver side wheel bearing replaced with a Moog one

Finally I'll look forward to watching top gear again

So had the Uprev done yesterday by Jez at Horsham and pleased with the results. Car drives smoother and picks up better through all the lower gears. Also had the "Pops and Bangs" map added which is fun around town

Dude, sorry to hear about your engine from Jez today! What's the plan to get it sorted?

My HR went up to 337 in the January session with Jez, it all depends on your mods and the overall condition of the engine though.

337?! That's some serious gains! What mods do you have on yours?

Mine went from 298 to 310 - feels more responsive now. Pops and bangs is good and hopefully will get louder as time goes on! Thanks Jez for your work! I'll post my dyno graph in the appropriate thread later

Saw 2 of you guys this afternoon on the M4 as I was heading back towards London from Horsham
