Jackal Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 I am hopefully going to look at a UK 05 Z over the weekend. I notice from the pics that it has been de-badged - what are the implications of this....i.e. would it of required a respray etc? At the risk of being shot for asking a question you peps have been asked hundreds of times - anything specific I should be asking? Brief rundown: Black 2005 GT Pack 17,000 miles Nismo Kit 19" Nismo Alloys Sat Nav DVD Parking Sensor £25k Obviously hopeful of knocking that price down if I take a fancy to it. Quote
M13KYF Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 no problem with debadging on the rear but on the front would look weird. I assume it still has a badge on the front. Servie history? Should of had a P1 and due a P2 in 1000 miles Quote
Liam's Z Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Depends how you mean de-badged!!! Rear is not a problem and doesn't require a respray whereas the front if debadged will look silly unless it's been filled and re-painted Like Mike said needs it's 2nd service, this will cost around £250 Quote
M13KYF Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 think Jacko had shopped around for a P2 and the cheapest he found was £145. Supplying his own oil. Quote

jim Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 on the rear of my 04 coupe there were 2 little holes when i removed the nissan badge same on my 03 JDM coupe. Quote
Sarnie Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 All coupe's have the holes at the rear Quote
Jackal Posted September 19, 2006 Author Posted September 19, 2006 http://www.rsmotorsales.co.uk/showroom/detailU684.html Whatcha think? Quote
Sarnie Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 http://www.rsmotorsales.co.uk/showroom/detailU684.html Whatcha think? Looks stunning mate. Looks like its had all the options added already such parking sensors etc. Front and back badges would have to have been filled and resprayed so check for bodge jobs. Sat nav and HU is aftermarket so have a look to make sure the install is good. It seems to have had too much done to it to not be a members car from here or the OC which is strange. Usually such enthusiasts are on places like this Sports Exhaust? Does that mean Nismo? Make sure to check for swirls and stone chips. Apart from that mate it looks schweeeeeet!!!!!!!!!! I used to have a Kuro and I was gonna spend about £5k on making it look like that (Nismo kit and wheels). Very nice mate. A bit pricey however for an 18 month old car. Will you be p/x ing or straight cash? Quote
Jackal Posted September 19, 2006 Author Posted September 19, 2006 I thought the HU was aftermarket but I didn't think the Sat Nav was.... There are some things I need to find out about it (one of them being what does "sports exhaust" mean...Nismo??). It would be straight cash so what do you think is a fair price....23/23.5? Quote

Just check everything out and anything you're not even slightly happy with highlight to them and reduce the cost of correction (plus a bit! ) into the calculation. Then pay what you're happy with - does that include a warranty? Quote
