  1. It has some legs on it 140K but it has full Nissan history all but the last one which was carried out by Horsham Developments and has EVERY receipt for every little tiny thing it's ever had, I do love it when you ask to see the service history and they bring out a big A4 box folder and everything inside is organised in the clear sleeves and it was jam packed and that's as well as the service book stamped up all the spare keys, It's only had 1 previous keeper, I think its been a very pampered 140K Being a mechanic Ive never really been hung up on mileage I'm more interested in the history and I also I gadge how well its been kept by it's tyres (matching and premium bodes well with me) I once bought a 2003 CL55K AMG (500bhp) which had 1 owner from new and he had clocked up 338000 on it and It wanted for nothing and pulled like a train and I had 7 months trouble free motoring even the bodywork was great:
  2. Thanks, Forgot to add my plans I have for it, I have an addiction to carbon fiber I love it, so in the next few weeks I'm going to get a carbon front splitter/valance carbon wing mirror covers a carbon replica of the stock boot spoiler and I'd like if I can find some carbon rear spats (if anyone knows where I can source these from please share) so it matches the front then a small suspension drop, exhaust y section back, gloss black front and rear badges and a refurb of the GT4 wheels in a darker silver like a gunmetal shade.
  3. Hi everyone, Ive been wanting a 350Z for a while and each time I've changed up my car I've looked about but never managed to find a nice one but this time I decided I wouldn't rest till I found the right one. I've been up and down the country the last 2 weeks looking at some really nasty examples of abused Zed's and very nearly given up after asking all the right questions on the phone only to find they had blatantly lied when I get there.....I did lose my rag with one chap after driving 180 miles after asking him on the phone has it had any obvious paint work done to which he replied no its mint and OH MY GOD it was astonishing how bad it was it looked like it had been rattle can'ed. Anyway I had decided at the budget I had set my self around 5k which I knew was low for a nice one and I thought at that price I needed to be a 1st viewer of the car being advertised because at that money if a good one popped up it would go in the 1st viewing and only the rough ones would be left so on Wednesday I had tabs open on my laptop for Gumtree, Pistonheads, Autotrader and Ebay with my search criteria set in and all day just kept hitting refresh and woo hoo it worked that night one popped up and although I wasn't the 1st to call no one had viewed it but he was a fair distance from me and after reading his very good ad and reading all the links to his forum activity and project pages I was very confident it was going to be a honest motor at a great price so on the phone I took a gamble and offered a £100 non return deposit to hold the car until I could come over yesterday which he accepted so I bank transferred the deposit then had 2 sleepless nights with excitement...... Well needless to say when I got there I couldn't fault it on inspection (Im a mechanic of 15 years and an experienced paint sprayer) and I went over it very thoroughly and happily agreed a sale and drove it home grinning from ear to ear. I haven't had a chance to take some pics yet but here's some of it from the ad: It's a 350Z GT4 number 170/176
