I have a complete exhaust lying around it is not in excelent condition but you can have it for £100 collected. I am in Northamptonshire.

RIP Keith.

Chris, didn't you mention something about the steering not being straight when you got the car, and you altered it? Just wondering as this might be your problem??

It could be that your steering sensor thinks its not straight. My car does exactly the same and I need to get it reset at the dealers.

Thanks buddy, that worked a treat.

I haven't found a decent R8 forum, besides that I have been hanging around here for a long time so it's hard to say goodbye

Nice car ..... wrong forum

Hi can anyone help me set this as my profile picture please?

She is looking great Chris, I am really pleased that she has gone to a good home!

CS did supply the wheels, I would really recommend getting them from him if you are going to buy some, great customer service and extremely helpful (even after all my questions).

I wouldn't spend the extra cash on Weds, the Kei's turn heads wherever you go and one of the best upgrades I made to the car (in my opinion).

Just a thought, but didn't the first UK Zeds start in 2004? I know this looks like a UK car, but just wondered.

I have a set which I was going to put up for sale on here.

My Zed is going this Friday however, I will be hanging around too, some nice people on here

Well, after much deliberation I have finally sold my beloved 313 350z roadster.

 

It was a combination of the running costs and the crappy weather we are having that made me realise that I wasnt able to enjoy the car as much as i wanted. If it was just a weekend car id probably have kept it, but I was using it every day for work. Having bought the car outright for cash 14 months ago, it was still costing me around £850->£900 a month just in running costs. On top of that the depreciation was starting to get silly with big engined cars dropping in value like lead.

 

I have to say it was one of the most fun cars ive ever owned, and the performance really was fantastic. With the roof down and the K1 screaming out under 2nd gear acceleration, it really was awesome. I shall really miss it.

 

What have I replaced it with? Well, a new BMW 123d Coupe M-Sport. Very nice spec with a list of options, coming in at a price which I could easily pick up a number of mad fun weekend cars for, porsches, evo`s, you name it. But, I need something which is going to be cheaper for me to run over the 5 years or so I plan to keep this one for, especially with the kind of mileage I do.

 

As for my 350z, I part ex`d it at a local main dealer rather than have the hassle of selling it privately. They had no idea what it was, and unfortunately glass`s guide doesnt list the 313 model at all. So the price they gave me was just the basic price for the older model. They didnt add anything for the mega long list of optional extras my car had, or the lower then average mileage. So I lost 40% on what the car cost me to buy over around 14months.

 

They subsequently shipped it off to a private car dealer. Because its quite a rare car and a high spec, I soon spotted it appearing on Autotrader, at a dealer in Oxfordshire, it will be interesting to see how quickly they sell it and whether the new owner ends up on here!

 

Whoever does buy it though should have many miles of cheap motoring, as id just MOT`d it, had new tyres, new brake pads, new drive belt. The roof and leather had just been retreated which should last 6 months and the only thing it would need is its P2 service in around 2000 miles time.

 

I`ll still be around on here as this is one of the friendliest forums ive been on.

I will be over the moon, its just the hassle of getting everything set up for the car to be available on Friday that is doing my head in.

If its ONLY going to cheer you up, leave it on my drive way cos I'd be extatic

The car has been cleaned, but will be fully cleaned again on Thursday as I live on a farm and it gets dusty quickly. I am glad that it is going to a good home, and staying on the forum.

I am really sorry to see her go, but the replacement will cheer me up

I would think he might do that

I am sure the new owner will be along with an intorduction in due course

Hi guys,

It seems like the car has been sold (with the mods), I am just glad that it will be going to a good home

I will have to leave the coilovers on it too, I don't have the original springs and can't be bothered to change them anyway.

Far more sensible to strip and sell, apart from the clutch as that would probably be more agro and cost to remove and replace

 

The p/x will be for a standard car so why give them extra's

Will do.

keep me updated mate

Good shout the sound is awesome!!

dibs on the exhaust!!

Second hand R8 or GTR, I am not flush with cash, but would rather the Zed went to a good home, with or without mods.

Hold the phone.. You have the cash for a R8/GTR and you're asking us if we think you will be better off flogging your mods for a few quid and putting it back to stock?

Hi, I am thinking of selling my Zed, I would like a bit of advice on whether to remove most of the mods, or sell with them on. I have been offered around 6k for it as a part ex. It is a 54 azure with 66,000 on the clock, it is in okay condition, but not as good as some on here.

I have spent a few quid on mods over the last few years, including Stillen exhaust, Berks HFCs (Tarmac), Kei racing alloys, 20mm Eibach spacers (CS), Greddy lightweight flywheel and clutch (Zedman Alex), plenum spacer, 2006 airbox, BC racing coilovers (Abbey).

I have just recently spent £800 on a Sony head unit (that will be coming out).

The reason for sale is that I am now looking for either a GTR or an R8

I am wondering what sort of price I could ask if I sold it with the mods on, or shall I swap them all over and let you guys have a bun fight for them on here?

Interested

I have had mine fitted with a Stillen on there, the guy that fitted it had to drop the left hand pot slightly but it fits perfect and looks the dogs!!

Steve, I will get some pictures to you at the weekend when I get home.

Yes would be good, whereabouts are you in NH?

+1

PS3 and COD all the way.

 

Although infinity need to sort the lag and poor connections on MW3 it drives me our clan mad!
