I've enjoyed every single moment with my zed for the past 3 years and it is with very heavy hearted, I have to sell my beloved zed as I can't switch off the passenger airbag and no ISOFIX. I'm well excited with baby but equally sad that I can't have both =( at the same time. So here you go

 

2004 Nissan 350Z DE GT at around 85,000 Miles. (Going up slowly as still using as daily) - UK car, not imported

 

  • Service summary (Inclusive of Oil change + filter change + sump plug + air filter, extra will be listed):
    • 18,479 (Nissan Dealership) P1
    • 30,052 (Specialist)
    • 31,800 (Specialist)
    • 34,241 (Specialist)
    • 43,544 (Specialist)
    • 46,394 (Specialist) + spark plugs
    • 49,808 (Specialist)
    • 52,127 (Specialist)
    • 56,217 (Specialist)
    • 58,326 (Specialist)
    • 63,309 (Specialist) + spark plugs + AUX belts
    • 64,752 (Specialist)
    • 69,493 (Specialist)
    • 72,690(Specialist)
    • 78,600 (by myself) + magnetic sump plug
    • 81,217 (by myself) + magnetic sump plug
    • 83,227 (by local garage) + magnetic sump plug

    - An A4 folder full of receipts and service history to prove the above records

    - Nissan recommended service interval of 9000miles or every year whichever comes first, however this Zed has been serviced more than recommended. As per current mileage and age, the zed should be serviced 13 times (every year) or 9 times (mileage). This zed had 17 recorded oil changes throughout its life.

    - Engine oil change interval for this zed is pretty OTT (never once oil managed to live longer than 1 year in the engine or sees more than 4000 miles) however this is also the reason why this zed's engine is running extremely smooth and sweet!! This zed is a very well taken care by myself and previous owner. The VQ35DE engine is pretty much bullet proof if being treated well and this is the perfect example

    - Engine let to warm up every time before driving (60psi and below 1k rpm), ever gear change at or below 2k rpm for first 2 miles or so every time without fail.

    - Within 1st month of ownership (July 2014) I've changed the following OEM Nissan transmission fluid + moly slip, OEM Nissan differential fluid, OEM Nissan engine coolant, OEM brake fluid

    - Next MOT due in December 2018. Never failed before Check here https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/

    - Only run on Shell VPower or equivalent (Tesco 99) during my ownership. Never on ron95

    _ Black full leather interior, all the other standard GT goodies for this model (Cruise control, Bluetooth speaker phone, heated and electronically adjusted seats, folding mirrors, heated side mirrors, full steering controllers, Bose sound system and the Brembo brakes all around)

    - DE 2004 model hence benefit from lower tax bracket - £305 per year

    - Runs perfectly, starts first time every time

    - 4 previous owners including myself

    - UK Car (not import).

    - The car is in excellent condition throughout apart from few age related cosmetic flaws

    - OEM touring wheels refurb (power coated) to satin black

    - Front number plate holder removed

    - HPI cleared“ No outstanding finance, not imported, not stolen, etc

    - New brake pads at around 78K miles

    - Both original Nissan leather booklet available (post cards, owner's manuals, service history, etc)

    Dyno results (11th April 2015) Print outs available - pretty good for an 13 year old zed.

         -1st run (as arrived) 261.2hp/331Nm

         - 2nd run (HKS super hybrid panel filter) 264.4hp/332Nm

         - 3rd run (panel filter removed, filter box cleaned before run) 266.3hp/333Nm

Bad points:

  • OEM Exhaust back box rattle when cold in the morning (only when idling around 1500 rpm)
  • Minor stone chip and parking battle marks - Normal for a 13 years old car
  • Hair line cracks on paint only around front bumper around Nissan burger someone reversed (slow speed) onto the zed (previous owner). I can live with is as this is not very bothering me and not very visible. (See pics)
  • Minor kerbing on both front wheel (see pics) both front could do with a refurb
  • Skipping Bose CD player (common issue) but never really bother me as I'm using my phone + cassette adaptor to connect to Bose will be included in the sale for FREE

Issues during ownership that have been resolved (Over £500 spent);

  • ABS actuator has been replaced with a low mileage pre-loved OEM part (£250 parts + £150 labour). Not an issue anymore both worth mentioning. Sorted out by Lockwood & Greenwood (Manchester, Nissan specialist)
  • Passenger window stuck. Resolved by myself. Window motor removed, cleaned and fully working again.
  • Rear windscreen washer pump. Resolved by myself. New rear pump installed
  • Bose base cutting off. Resolved myself by replacing a new relay on the amplifier
  • Rear boot poppers replaced and boot weight removed, 1 press only to open rear boot

 

Additional upgrades since my ownership (Over £700 spent):

  • LED light bulbs throughout the zed (rear number plate, vanity lights, cabin lights, boot light and side light, worth £30)
  • Reverse camera + monitor (worth £150 ish fully installed). Due to location of monitor, image is reversed but still great for not reversing into a brick wall, car, drain, etc.
  • Slam/cooling panel (worth £10)
  • HEL braided stainless steel brake lines all around (worth £200 ish fully installed with new brake fluids)
  • Tarmac Sportz front lip (Mines replica worth £215) - https://www.tarmacsp...-front-lip.html
  • Tarmac Sportz hub centric wheel spacers (worth £100) 20mm front, 25mm rear most popular setup for them 18" Rays and OEM touring wheels
  • Honda RDX stubby antenna (a must with 20BHP gain, worth £10)
  • DRL (worth £180 ish fully installed) custom made and installed by myself. Details are in my build thread original smoked orange reflectors included in sale for FREE
  • 6000K DR2 xenon light bulbs for the ultimate white look (worth £50)
  • PU Suede gaiter for handbrake and gear, replaces the OEM tired looking gaiter (worth £15)
  • Nissan Titan gear knob (worth £40) with 1-off custom 'machined from solid' aluminium spacer
  • 2 remote keys and 1 spare key (bought with only 1 remote keys but spent over £150 to get new remote key and spare key)

 

Unfortunately, all test drive will be performed by myself unless proof of full asking price available along with cash deposit (£100) and proof of insurance.

 

Car is located in Huddersfield, less than 1 miles from J24 on M62

 

Not in a rush to sell hence - £6,499. I believe someone will find value in the amount of attention goes into this zed throughout its life =) and lots of £££££ spent to keep this zed in great condition. Price is based on average Autotrader/Pistonhead/Ebay selling price and condition of this zed (great service history). I'm open to offers try me......all I'll do is politely decline it if it doesn't meet my expectation

 

Below this thread will be some glamour shots of my zed, latest pic of my zed added as well below.

Bump........price reduced further to £6799 hence I can will have to drop the incentive to £50 for successful recommendation by a fellow forum member leading to successful sales of this zed at full asking price of £6799.

Is this not advertised elsewhere? 

Advertised on Ebay, Autotrader and Pistonhead last month. No luck at all and don't want to spend another £80 ish again now. I'm assuming it's summer holiday season and people are spending on holidays etc. Will advertise again in September.

How has your car not gone yet ?  Seems like a bargain and with it being highly cared for is a bonus.  

Not sure why this is not selling =( I think price is well reasonable and pretty low compared to similar age/mileage.
