ab350z Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Been going over this in my head for a few months now as I'm just not getting the use of the car at all and its turning into an expensive pavement ornament. The heart has ruled the head for long enough and it pains me to do this but the Z is up for sale. OK here goes: Nissan 350Z Manual 6 speed JDM Fairlady Version S - Gunmetal grey with black cloth interior. Purchased in Tokyo 23rd July 2002 (original receipt in hand) by Mr Barry Almond. Shipping receipt to UK on 10th April 2003, arrived 24th March 2003 in Southampton. Tonnes of Japanese receipts and photos. SVA certificate April 2003. UK registration is KN52 XTR. V5 confirming purchase by Steven Martin on 11th march 2006. Road tax receipts(V11) and receipt for private reg N15SBN (Sept 2006) MOT receipts - Jan 2006/Jan 2007/December 2007 - expires Jan 15th 2009. Tracker installation receipt 350Z CD service manual Abbey Motorsport Dyno sheet - Jan 2005 HPi check done by myself 19/12/2007 JVC KW-AVX700 manual Service receipts for 16/2/2004 3/2/2005 10/1/2007 9/8/2007 31/10/2008 Purchase receipts for - Fitting ESR y-pipe + exhaust Touch up paint Filters Oil Tyres Rays alloys Rear 350Z badge to replace Fairlady The owner before me replaced JDM spec bumpers with UK spec, interior (centre console, dash, dials, door cards with UK spec interior). Brembo's fitted, 18" Rays, JVC DVD CD headunit with flatscreen and reverse camera, integrated fog light, LED rear light upgrade, private reg. I've fitted the ESR y-pipe + exhaust, clear rear lenses and front indicators, Nismo replica front splitter and rear spats, headlight conversion by Paul T, window tints, medium smoke on rears, light smoke on fronts, Eibach 20mm spacers, custom coloured Rays alloys (anthracite centre, polished lip), Red Stuff brake pads fitted at last service. Bodywork is in excellent condition, usual stone chips on the bumper, 4cm black mark on passenger door where some clever clogs in a car park has swung the door open, not a dent just a scratch. Wheels refurbed 6 weeks ago so absolutely spotless. Electric windows, mirrors, air conditioning, traction control, height adjustable drivers seat. Current mileage - 68k miles - next service due at 73k miles. Car is located in Aberdeen, i'm sure any of the Abz members here would be happy to give an inspection for anyone interested. Last road tax was £185 for 12 months, and I'm £495 to insure (26 years old with 4 years NCB) with Directline, so the myths about JDM's being more expensive are wide of the mark. I have tried to use 97-99 RON petrol, as recommended by Nissan and weather permitting has been cleaned weekly and bi-waxed monthly. No doubt i've left something out so PM me any questions. £10,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ab350z Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 god damn if only this was lower mileage and uk car :/ am i correct in saying this is limited to 112mph? What's stopping you buying a JDM? I've had this over 18 months, and not encountered a single issue that would ever put me off buying JDM again. Its had the full SVA, UK spec rear bumper, interior and Brembos, was imported way before the road tax changes and is the exact same price to insure as a UK spec, I checked this when I was interested in a UK car on here a while back. I believe it was derestricted by a previous owner, it def does over 112mph, on a private road ofcourse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 don't be afraid of imports, you can get some good deals and there's nothing to fear if its from a trusted source. Same car just different spec options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurrish Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Fantastic example of a well looked after zed. As long as its got a good history and has an owner that has loved it then you should have no hesitation on the purchase. This will sell fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyn888 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 really nice car , not that bothered about it being import , was looking for something with bit lower mileage although it is below my price range and i would save a bit of £ plus this car is local as well cracking mods as well , cant argue with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it, its taken months to get the head to rule the heart on this one. The whole ownership experience from buying from a previous forum member to now probably wouldn't have been the same without the guys on this forum. Its probably even more soul destroying having it and not getting the use out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear your selling mate but I guess needs must.You going for a sensible car next? R It's getting tougher and tougher to come to terms with letting it go Ross! Made the mistake of totalling up how much I'd spent on it the other day and my heart sank! But its been well worth it to get an individual model and the head turning it gets driving about is certainly ego swelling! I'll probably have a winter of hassle and worry free motoring courtsey of....... a 52 plate 5 door 1.2 Polo that my parents bought for my sister but she doesnt drive it at all. Dad's looking to get it out of the garage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
