DarmoZ

modified description. Leaving a functioning sound system in the car. price increased to reflect this.

Open to offers

12/12/19 EDIT: No longer for sale, just spent £1600 on major service and replacement of some old worn parts. plan to keep the car another couple of years. sorry. 

 

After a few great years of 350z ownership (since 2015) it's with a heavy heart that I've decided to sell up the car. My first every performance vehicle, this car has taught me so much about mechanics and driving and i'm really gonna miss it. 

 

'04 350z GT 108k miles w/ good history and paperwork. 2 keys and original Nissan leather wallet and handbook etc.

 

The car comes as standard fitted with the GT pack consisting of: heated/electric leather seats (tan leather) cruise control, electric wing mirrors, VLSD (limited slip diff), Brembo brakes, parking sensors etc. 

 

The car has also been tastefully and subtly modified over the years, most of the mods are non-visible and exterior wise the car looks stock.

 

£4100. Location Bradford.

 

Non visible Mods:

Miltek Cat back exhaust

Berks hi-flow cats (done by Horsham dev)

Up-Rev remapping (Horsham dev)

DBA T2 Street Brake discs all around (Horsham dev)

HEL braided brake and clutch lines (Horsham dev)

Stoptech slave cylinder (Horsham dev)

Superbro poly bushs on front (Horsham dev)

JWT Air Intake (Horsham dev)

Plenum Spacer (Horsham dev)

Upgraded alternator (250amp)

Optima red top battery

Torqen metal undertray

Doors, boot and boot lid have been sound deadened.

 

Visible Mods:

350z GT4 edition wheels. Black, and have been hydro dipped in the past which is now fading (could do with a refurb really)

Rear window limo black tint

Rear quarter panels 70% tint

Front side windows 50% tint

D1 Spec carbon fibre gear knob.

B pillars and petrol cap wrapped in 3M carbon fibre.

Custom made sail panels that can fit large tweeters.

Not really a mod I guess but the front bumper had a re-spray in 2017.

 

Common wear items:

Tyres - Michelin PS4 all round, rears replaced last October, fronts replaced only a couple months ago, loads of tread left all round.

Spark plus – Replaced during big service in Sep 2016. All fluids were flushed and replaced at this time as well including gear box and LSD fluid.

Clutch/flywheel – Replaced in 2016 with Excedy OEM spec

Brake Pads – Ferodo pads all round, I’d say half worn on front, plenty left on the rears.

 

Good to know:

Oil and filter change every 6 months, using Fush titan race oil every time. Engine flush used on last two oil changes.

Engine had a terraclean in 2017.

One can of Cata-clean in the fuel tank every 8 months.

Nothing but Shell V-Power and occasionally BP Ultimate/Tesco Momentum during my ownership.

70% Motorway miles during my ownership (London/Bradford round trips)

Car has passed every MOT first time over its life.

 

Modified sound system

Right now the car has an audio system which consists of aftermarket 2 way front speakers and coaxial rear speakers  (all Hertz mille Legend series) Powered by a 4 channel Hertz Amp in the glove box.

The mid bass in the doors give plenty of bass therefore OEM subwoofer behind driver’s seat is still present but disconnected, I still have the OEM amp which you can reconnect in the boot if you wish. 

 

OEM Bluetooth receiver is missing but you can pick one up from the forum (but the head unit has apple car play and android auto anyway)

 

Everything works but there is alternator whine coming through the speakers due to a blown internal fuse in the head unit, therefore a new head-unit would be good (can be found on gumtree pretty cheap and easy to install)

 

Known Issues:

Slight noise from front left wheel which needs wheel bearings replacing.

Very minor scuff on rear bumper from the time I accidentally reversed (under 5mph) into a wall.

Missing Nissan badge on front.

Hi Alex...here are the extra pics

PM'd him now, cheers 

Hi All,

 

Came back to my car one evening to see my the glass pane lying on the floor and my wing mirror looking like this.

 

Wondering if i can find a simple glass pane replacement or if i would have to replace the whole unit?

 

It seems as though something from the glass pane clips in to the middle section of the housing from the pic, but there was nothing found around the car like that??

 

The unit still moves electronically using the toggle on the arm rest.

 

any help is appreciated!

Hi Ekona, I'm considering getting a 2008 Cayman S, (this one). I understand that they fixed the IMS bearing issue with these as they used a bigger IMS. are there any other things to consider with this model year.... boring pre purchase inspection still recommended ? thanks

Whoa didn't realised this thread is from 2015 until i read all the way through. Sorry you had a bad experience Adrian but glad you're happy now. Did you ever buy another Porsche /  consider buying in the future out of curiosity ?

 

p.s. came across this thread as i am currently considering buying a 2008 Porsche Cayman

My dream car, congrats and that is the best color! 

I never see other Z's in Bradford lol, where you guys hiding?

Hi, I'm currently also after a pair of these as seen here

If anyone has some that would be great, Adrian is also looking into it for me with the guys in USA who make them to get a price.

Alternatively, and cheaper too perhaps, i have come across Visual ICE in south Yorkshire who has a ebay listings of £125/£199 where he will make door pods for any car to any specification, just have to leave your car / door cards with him for a a few days. one of the pictures on the listing seems to be of a 350z too with almost identical door pod to the wicked cas ones. See here.

 

From my experience with bulbs it’s been buy cheap buy twice. Used eBay as I didn’t want to pay ABD prices, but bulbs didn’t last long even though they were branded Philips. Then I bit the bullet and bought the twenty20 bulbs from ABD, had no problems since, plus the brighteness and quality of colour was better too. 

Is it just me or are the pictures no longer visible?

Cheers

@DarmoZ Do you still have the cats?

Yep

On A329 roundabout this morning 7:50am 

Taken off the car at 90k miles.

Works absolutely fine, reason for removing is because I have upgraded to a 200amp alternator to accommodate new sound system.
