I have my eyes on this one --> https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-omega-speedmaster-57-omega-co-axial-chronograph-41-5-mm-33110425102002. Might go for a 0% finance or alternatively purchase this in Malaysia when I go there next year. Seems to be around £300-£400 cheaper.

All about the manual, original movements on the professional speedmasters

I want a Seiko, although I don't know what one just yet.

I think I have about 15 different watches in wishlists  (all affordable).

Some mates have ridiculous pieces (PatekP/Hublot etc), however I don't really care about the inner workings of them, just the design. Basically the complete opposite to cars for some reason 

Haha it's strange how people are in to different things, I love the investment and rarity of some pieces... I like having something someone else wants!

For example the new Rolex GMT has a 7 year waiting list and some second hand values are double retail

Good investment if you can get one... 

With a car change as well as making other investments, the bank account is drying up... Investments better pay off as it's part of my house deposit

Bump! 

All prices now 10% reduction, do the maths

Don't hesitate to message me, still flexible on prices.

My brother has an M135i on a 63 plate it's a very quick car. We went to see his friend who owns a specialist garage to see about a remap, he was told with just a remap and no other mods it would go from 315bhp to about 380bhp.

Same N55 engine I believe? Think I'll fit everything and see how mad it can go

Going for a proper dyno tune so will be real figures

Mine had NS2Rs on it when I got it actually, they arent too bad at all but I seem to remember got worse as they got older. Ive got an N54 135i and youre right, N55 dont respond to tuning quite as well but I thought you could see 400hp without the downpipe, I may well be wrong though

www.babybmw.net is the best forum but they are not huge modders on there, I wrote this https://www.babybmw.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=98187&p=1268052&hilit=camber#p1268052 on mine and theres a feller with an N55 making some good progress too: https://www.babybmw.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=60071&p=1490121#p1490121 

You will love this car, Im sure

I've had a bit of a play and the NS2R seem better than the Dunlop run flat on the oem wheels

Just made myself a member on there in the past week, no match for the mighty 350z forum though 

Sure I'll have some great fun with it, lots to play about with and some turbo fun which is different!

Excellent choice

Look into M3 LCA's, big improvement for not a lot of money, while youre there fit M3 ARB's as well and if you can do it an M3 diff and its a world of difference.
Do you need downpipes for 100hp extra? Its a bitch of a job even on an N55 .........

Thanks

Just getting to grips with the car and now running NS2R tyres which is a bit different and I'm not sure how well I'm going to get on with them... 

I've heard M3 bits fit so I'll probably be looking into that! 

I think on N55 you need downpipes as they don't quite respond to mods quite as well as the N54 engine, just from what I've read? Going for the noise too as the standard system is staying... For now

Nice. I love these high speed auto boxes. 

They're great fun, maybe not on par with a manual on a back road but pull the paddles and it's more engaging that I thought!

I originally intended to buy a BMW Z4 M coupe but the prices steered me towards a 370Z.

My old man has a z4m coupe, just bought at the right time

It was going to happen at some point, thought I would just make a post to share what I've moved on to! As always any comments welcome

61 plate 36k miles 135i DCT M sport coupe. 

Completely mint, all usual German refinements and some turbo power! Getting used to not having a clutch pedal (only gone to press if a few times), the dct gearbox is lightning and hardly noticeable in normal auto mode. 

Feels everybit of 300bhp and 300lb/ft, uses just as much fuel as the Z did so no shocks there

Mods already taking place, almost in 2 minds whether to modify it as it is so clean... But needs must everything on order. Aftermarket intake, decat downpipes, eibach springs, big front mount intercooler, front lip and Zito 935 (csl style) wheels. Future mapping potential to approx. 20psi of boost, gains of +80bhp and +100lb/ft!!! Not used to them sort of gains 

Gearknob sold

All surplus to requirement as no longer have the zed. Prices can be negotiable or pick up from Crowborough TN6. 

Original 350z front mats - great condition, slightly more wear on the drivers side by the heel. £20 + p&p. 

Tomei duracon gearknob - brand new with very slight storage marks. £20 + p&p. 

NGK iridium spark plugs - brand new from tarmac sportz for DE. £50 + p&p. 

Upgraded Clutch Pivot Ball - brand new from torqen, a must if upgrading the standard clutch and flywheel. £30 + p&p.

350z DE tachometer - in good condition, bought to modify leds and gauges but never got round to it. £35 + p&p. 

Bye bye Z 

Took a grand total of 2 days to sell and gone to someone who I'm sure will take good care of her. 

Maybe I'll return in the future once I really start missing her! 

Well that was quick... 

Sold

@reeceybeaney I have approved this for you but on the proviso that you add a price as per the forum rules. 

 

I'm guessing it is just an oversight.  

Adjusted

After a few great years of 350z ownership, I've decided to sell up the car. Many know of the car, as it has appeared at many shows and forum arranged meets in the South East and I have been an active member of the 350z online forums and pages.

'54 350z GT 75k miles w/ exceptional history and paperwork. 2 keys and original master key and original Nissan leather wallet and handbook etc.

The car comes as standard fitted with the GT pack consisting of: heated/electric leather seats, cruise control, 18" forged Rays wheels, VLSD (limited slip diff), brembo brakes, parking sensors and the bose stereo system. Basically a must have essential for any 350z buyer.

The car has also been tastefully modified over the years, with plenty of paperwork and receipts to reinforce works of all modifications and maintenance records.

At present, the car is equipped as followed:

Cobra Resonated Exhaust
Japspeed Y Pipe
Eibach Pro Lowering Springs
Eibach 20mm Front & 25mm Rear Spacers
Japspeed Front Camber Arms
Eibach Rear Camber Arms
Motordyne ART Pipes (car sounds heavenly due to these)
Motordyne 5/16" Plenum Spacer
EBC Turbo Drilled & Grooved Discs
EBC Redstuff Pads
Mishimoto Fan Shroud
HEL Braided Clutch Line
K&N Drop In Panel Filter
Orange Silicone Engine Hoses
Quantum Remap (292bhp)

Mines Style Carbon Fibre Splitter
Nismo Style Carbon Spoiler
Carbon Mirror Covers
Zunsport Grille
Stubby Ariel

Pioneer SPH-DA120 head unit
Kenwood Ksc-sw11 underseat subwoofer with controller

Standard components such as the spoiler, stereo, catylitic converts are available and will come with the car.

I never planned to sell the 350z, so I also acquired a few parts, of which I planned to get fitted. None of which are required. I have an exedy stage 1 clutch kit, single mass flywheel, pilot bushing, slave cylinder (full clutch overhall kit). I also have a set of NGK iridium spark plugs and HEL bradied brake hoses. This can all come with the car at an additional price, or may also be advertised elsewhere.

I would love to see the car go to an enthusiast, as the car is in such great shape. FSH with numerous stamps and receipts to back up Nissan maintenance scheme of P1, P2 and P3 services. The gearbox oil and diff oil has been replaced within the last 2 years and the engine oil and filter was last changed less than 1k miles ago. There have never been issues with MOT history or overall running of the car.

The interior and exterior of the car are in fantastic shape for the age, it has been fully machined polished, waxed and sealed recently for the summer season.

Any other details and information, don't hesitate to message me loads of other images available. 

£6750, open to offers

Looks like a really well sorted and cared for Z. With the time, effort and money put into it, it is hard to value.

It's all personal really with our modified zeds, as some like particular mods more than others and some people are more worried about mileage than others... 

But personally I would start at around £6k/£5.5k due to the mileage being a little steep and anticipating a clutch change. For any other Z of that mileage I would have said a fair bit less, but if the car is in good condition and obviously spending £3.5k on a respray (you won't want it going cheap!) so it has got to be worth starting around that price! 

I decided that I probably wouldn't get the money I wanted for my Z, so I'm keeping it for another year at least, and getting my clutch and flywheel done 

Still looks like such a clean Z, surprised it hasn't gone yet!

What are the wheel specs, do you mind me asking?

Great advert, shouldn't hang about long... Someone is going to pick up a right bargain. 

All the performance from a Z and a blank canvas for aesthetics, I like!

Back at it! Looking forward to seeing the engineering behind it all 

See you in the morning

I know what you mean ... bit of a harsh ride too ... TBH the 911 walks all over it for an all round perfect driver's car

Wouldn't say the abarth was a drivers car at all, even though I like them! Numb electric steering, turbo lag low down, unresponsive throttle compared to NA cars, sit too high in the cabin and the seating position is so uncomfortable when your legs are nearly at a right angle to your body

Don't get me wrong, I love stealing my Mum's abarth, they're fun, easy to drive, good on fuel and running costs, look great and they make a wicked sound and when you're in boost they're very nippy! But drivers car... Nahhhhh! 

Not much in terms of build progress... Yet... But these photos are 

Well... I guess it is still twin turbo
