Sam Mcgoo Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) SOLD With a heavy heart I put up for sale my 442bhp Vortech Supercharged Zed. It’s a UK GT 54 plate Gunmetal Grey with all the standard GT features such as full leather, cruise control, heated seats, climate control etc. Registered in December 2004 with only 40,000 genuine miles currently on the clock. I am only the second owner of this car and have had it for 5 years and covered 28k very enjoyable miles. The previous owner who bought it new, also a forum member, only having covered 12k miles in in his 5 year ownership. I can pretty much guarantee that it has exclusively been run on Super Unleaded since the day it left the factory as it was the previous owner that highlighted this very important fact to me when I went to view it. He also showed me petrol receipts to prove it. I can 100% guarantee that during my time with it, it has been run on nothing else. It has been garaged every night since I’ve owned it, apart from when staying away from the home. The previous owner said he did the same, and didn’t even get it out in the rain! Which I could tell was true as it was spotless underneath when I bought it. I do drive it in the rain, so its not quite so spotless underneath now, but is certainly pretty clean for its age under there as my MOT tester comments on every year. Due to the above, the bodywork is excellent for its age. It is washed weekly and polished/waxed monthly. However, as expected for a car of its age, it does have a few minor age/mileage related marks. There is some stone chipping to the front of the car, a few scuffs on the lower part of the front lip and a tiny dent in the passenger door due to my old next door neighbour opening their door onto mine. This is me just being honest and you have to look hard and close to see them. None of these detract from how good this car looks in the flesh and how many positive comments I get on its condition. There are absolutely no signs of rust or corrosion anywhere on the bodywork. It had full Service history when I purchased the car, a mix of Nissan and specialist, independent garages and in my ownership I have carried out all servicing tasks myself using only the best parts, oils, filters and lubricants with receipts to prove. The car has wanted for nothing , and as a competent enthusiast I would argue that I’ve done as good if not a better job at maintaining it than the majority of Nissan main dealers due to it being my passion and being in my interest. A Supercharged 350z is a joy to drive. It’s how it should have come from the factory. It retains the smooth linear power delivery the car was designed to have, only higher up the power/torque scale. This means that although this is a powerful and fast car, it is in no way scary or unpredictable but is still very exciting to drive. It is just as easy to drive slowly and smoothly as a standard one. The intake and exhaust setup in my opinion is spot on. It is not loud when driving normally and there is absolutely no drone in the cabin at any speed or revs. However, when you open up taps it sounds like thunder and has been known to spit flames on overrun! Mine was Uprev tuned at Abbey Motorsport and is running 402bhp @ rear hubs and 336 lbft Torque. That is approximately 442bhp at the flywheel which make a perfect road/occasional track car that can hold its own against most other things on the road at a fraction of the cost. Throughout my ownership I have been adding modifications to slowly increase the power but retain factory reliability. This has been a success and the car has NEVER let me down. I have had two faults over the years – a faulty fuel injector and a boost leak. Neither of which were ‘breakdowns’ and I was able to find and fix the issues while still remaining mobile. This car has never burned any oil or even required topping up between oil changes. Oil pressure is spot on and a compression test has shown a very healthy engine with good even results. This is a very reliable car, and other than a recommendation for increased frequency of oil changes to keep the supercharger tip top, it requires no special attention over a standard 350z. The interior is in very good condition. The black leather seats are showing minimal wear and the plastics very few scratches. There is some ‘ring’ wear on the top of the gear stick. There are a few additions over standard that are listed below but the interior still retains its OEM feel and comfort. The wheels are OZ Superleggera III Forged 3-piece rims 19x10 ET25 rear, 19x 9 ET20 front. These are a top quality, race spec wheel that retail at over £1000 EACH wheel without tyres! I’ve had them custom powder coated with Black rear, Black Chrome spokes and centres and Shadow Chrome dish/lip and polished bolts. Genuine OZ centre caps and chrome muteki tuner nuts really set them off. They look amazing and are in tip top condition. Tyres are currently the best on the market - Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Front 245/35/19, Rear 275/35/19 nearly new, all tyres have 6mm + I could talk about this car all day, its history, its modifications, its performance and its looks but you’ll probably get bored and I’ll end up changing my mind about selling it! It has had thousands upon thousands spent on it! It goes, stops and handles like a dream. Below is a summary of its modifications above standard equipment on a UK GT.

I have almost every part to return this back to a standard car (other than removing the body kit) if the new owner so desires, and a suitable price adjustment can be negotiated. I would prefer to sell the car as is, as it would be a shame to ‘part it out’ even though I’d probably get more for it in parts. Anyone wanting any more information please feel free to PM me and I'll be happy to answer your questions. This car has been in fast car magazine and Japanese performance mag as well as the 350z-uk calendar for 5 years running! It has been recently serviced and will come with 12 months MOT. Private plate not included. The price I'm asking is £11,499 ono I feel that due to the low mileage, condition, known history, and quality of aftermarket parts, it's worth every penny. If I get the asking price the new owner can have every spare part i have, nearly all parts needed to return to standard including a set of OEM wheels and tyres in immaculate condition, and a full OEM exhaust system both of which only have 2.5k miles on them. OEM suspension, Kinetix High flow Cats, original rear lights and many other parts all boxed up and ready to go. Alternatively, if you feel you would rather have the car on standard wheels, or on OEM supension or OEM exhaust etc, let me know what your thinking and we can maybe come to an arrangement. Thanks for looking. Edited September 16, 2015 by Sam Mcgoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Anyone looking to buy a 350z then this is the one to buy. Cracking buy Good luck with the sale Sam, don't think you will need it though. Steve has hit the nail on the head here. Genuine bloke and a stunning example. I've had the pleasure of being in company with Sam a couple of times at Wales and I tell you now, the first person to see will buy. This is priced perfectly because as Sam says, thousands has been spent on this machine. A sad day Sam but the journey must go on..... All the best for the sale and in a way I'm glad she's not being stripped. This would be one of only a few Zeds which are supercharged that I'd go and buy, as it is.
