Yella Fella Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Guys, I'm still on the lookout for a Z whilst my Honda is getting stripped down back to standard... However, I've just come across this beauty as a facelift but on an older plate, how was this even possible? I thought they were released in 2006 onwards? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2906888.htm I wonder if the tax is lower as it stands or hit the higher bracket at the registered bhp Quote
daveparkin Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 The HR engine (313PS) won't fit under that pre-facelift bonnet..................... The advert is probably wrong, at that age it should be a 280bhp, and the 296bhp came out in 2005 as the GT4, and then all models from 2006. The 313ps (309bhp) came out in 2007, and can be identified from the bonnet bulge (although people put these bonnets on earlier cars) and more importantly the twin intakes on the engine. Quote
sparky370z Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Not a 313. It's a 296 at best. Didn't think they came out until 06. Quote
rabbitstew Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 The seller is lying. There is no way thats the face lift model. The bonnet does not have the big bulge in it, and the front orange bits in the bumper on that one are sloped, whereas on the facelift they are straight down. It was first registered in 2004 / 2005, so if its got the 313 engine in it, id be very supprised. Quote
Ian Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Its not even a 296. Its a 276. Seller is an idiot Quote

stubzie83 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Yeah it's just a modded 276Hp model. They've just put on a Nismo style front bumper and skirts and 'Z' badge on the front instead of the Nissan burger. Quote
Sarnie Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 It also says it has Xenon headlights. Does the MY03 not have Xenons? I love how it says 'Unmodified' when it blatantly is...... Quote
Ian Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 It also says it has Xenon headlights. Does the MY03 not have Xenons? I love how it says 'Unmodified' when it blatantly is...... 03 does have xenon lights. 06 has bi-xenons Quote
Ebized Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Doesn't have the headlight washers that the ad says it has (as normally expected for that aftermarket bumper conversion) The **** has simply lifted some standard description so its a completely screwed advert So god knows what he is actually selling there - one to avoid.

Chris`I Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I never noticed until I started my new job. They are using archaic IE6 which brings up the lovely white box with red cross in it! I just thought you didnt have an avatar I take it displays for you? Or is it just not meant to work? Quote
DoubleDeuce1973 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 It's also advertised as 30mpg?! Not Modified but Nismo kit?! *TOOL* Quote

ATTAK Z Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Its not even a 296. Its a 276. +1 ....... 276 bhp ...... no headlight washers either ......... and with folding mirrors it's probably not a UK car .... also you'll get 30 mpg only if you drive it continuously at 60 mph Quote
