wizard Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Ok folks, here goes, this is not going to be easy… I bought this car in early 2008 and it was pretty much stock at the time. Since then I have spent a lot of blood, sweat & tears (not to mention money) getting it to the stage it is currently in. The objective for the car was it to be a fast street car, not an all-out track car with a bone crunching ride with no creature comforts. Function over form was also preferred so bling was kept to a minimum. In the summer of 2010 the car was supercharged and has done around 10 – 15K miles boosted. It is now with regret that I am putting my baby up for sale. It is very rarely now used due to time constraints with work commitments. I would rather someone owned it and used it more regularly. I do genuinely feel that I may regret this decision. My loss is certainly someone elses gain. I want the forum members to have first dibs on the car. If there is no interest in a week or two, I will start listing it elsewhere. If there is still no interest by early January I may end up hanging on to it! The car will come with 12 months MOT and 6 months road tax for the new owners peace of mind. It has a lower rate tax band (around £220 a year). 2003 Kuro (KH3) Black J-Spec (52 plate), 6spd manual, GT Spec equivalent Engine: - Zmanalex supplied VQ35DE engine (around 40K miles on it). Around 90K miles on chassis, including import KM. Odometer shows 101K. HPI Clear. - Vortech v3 supercharger (upgraded Si impeller). 3:13 pulley. Polychain GT Carbon Fibre belt. - Uprev MAF Sensor - Engine Damper - CJM Stage 0 Fuel Return system - Walbro 255 Fuel Pump - DW 600cc injectors - Motul 300v 15w50 Oil - K&N Oil Filter - Mishimoto Oil Cooler - APS Extra Capacity Oil Sump - Mishimoto Radiator - Motordyne Plenum Spacer 5/16" - HKS Grade 8 plugs Exhaust: - Inchiba Y-pipe - Berk Decats (Stock cats included too). - 5zigen A-Spec Exhaust (comes with removable bungs) Drivetrain: - 2006 gearbox with around 25k miles on it (previous gearbox had 3rd gear synchro issue) - Eibach Anti Roll Bars (front & rear) - ACT Super Street XTreme Clutch (NZ1-HDSS). – Only 2K on clutch. Smooth progressive engagement and light pedal, but still very strong and resilient! - Lightweight Flywheel Brakes: - Stock Brembo Calipars - DBA T3 4000 Discs - Carbotech XP10 Pads (front) – Replaced under 1k miles ago - Ferodo DS2500 Pads (rear) - Motul RBF600 brake fluid - HEL All round braided brake lines Electronics: - RSW Pillar Pod with AEM AF/R and Boost gauges. - Uprev for stock ECU.

Running around 13PSI boost. Making 450bhp @ hubs / 400lb/ft (close to 500bhp fly). Perfect numbers for the Z33 chassis in my opinion. Maintenance - Oil & filter changes every 2 - 3K miles. Has just been serviced and only driven less than a 100 miles since. - Brake Fluid and Front brake pads changed less then 500 miles ago. - Coolant changed a few weeks ago - Front bumper has just had a resprayed to cover stone chips. Car always run on high octane fuel, usually VPower. Lots of receipts for the car. _______ It goes without saying that the performance of this Zed vs an N/A one is incomparable. It is unlikely you will find many cars that can keep pace with this on the road. Driving a stock 350z after driving this will feel incredibly dull guaranteed. All things considered, I feel I have been very realistic with the price, if not a bargain. To build the car has cost me in the region of £20K not including the original purchase of the car. Believe me, if you’re thinking of doing this, it would be far wiser buying one done already. FORUM PRICE: £10,500 OVNO CAR LOCATED IN LONDON (Abbey dyno day. Highest power N/A 350z vs this one).

GT4 Zed Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hey Ray sad to hear you are even considering to sell the zed! You knew you were going to be asked to leave home at some point and so no panic. Did you forget yo list the KWs or did you sell tghem separately. Ultimately if you donot secure a sale ASAP consider parting out as you would get more for the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
