SamN Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure about this, as I love the car, but I'm considering selling up. The main reason would be to get something a little more practical that's all. It's a 53 plate kuro black 350Z. This is a UK GT model so comes with all the nice bits like heated leather seats, Brembo brakes, LSD, RAYS forged 18" alloys, spoiler, strut brace, cruise control. In my opinion, the car is in great condition considering it's 11 years old now, and it's amazing fun to drive. The car has done just under 110k miles, which will rise slightly, but not much, as I'm still using the car. Starts first time every time, the battery guage always shows a touch over 14 volts as it should. The engine, gearbox and diff are strong, never missing a beat. The clutch is spot on, never slipped. I only mention this as I know they're quite expensive to replace on these cars but this one is fine. All electrics work fine and the air con is ice cold. I have ALWAYS run the car on shell V-Power fuel, with NO exceptions, as did the previous owner. This is key for these engines. I always let the engine warm up before sprinted drives. Almost 12 months MOT (due 24/11/15) I treated her to a full service in June at 107k miles ago, with the following: Motul 5w30 fully synthetic engine oil Oil filter (genuine Nissan) + new crush washer as usual Gearbox oil (using genuine Nissan oil, along with a tube of molyslip) Diff oil (using genuine Nissan oil) Denso Iridium spark plugs Cosworth air filter (panel) Air con and aux belts Exterior modifications: Eibach 30mm lowering springs (Fitted at 106k miles) Wheel spacers all round (25mm front, 30mm rear) Jasma true dual stainless steel exhaust with decats (quite loud) - slash cut tail pipes which don't look over the top, they're a nice size in my opinion Drilled and grooved front discs Stubby aerial Rear wiper delete (looks a lot cleaner, although I think I still have the rear wiper if desired) Body-colour badges Carbon wrapped B pillars Lightly smoked rear lights Flat wiper blades LED side light and number plate bulbs Interior/other modifications: OEM satellite navigation (this was an optional extra, not a standard feature) Alpine double din head unit, 7" touchscreen ipod and bluetooth connections - including steering wheel controls Cargo net in the boot Cookbot auto-fold mirrors upon lock/unlock A few Carbon wrapped interior parts Bad points (every car has them, just being honest!): Passenger window doesn't work Engine management light is on due to the exhaust/decats. I think one of the lambda sensors needs replacing There are a few stone chips as you'd expect for a car of this age MOT advisory on n/s inner track rod end (very small amount of play) MOT advisory on a couple of slightly low tyres Viewings welcome evenings/weekends. I'm happy to take people out in the car but won't let anyone drive it without proof of insurance. Located in Chandler's Ford, near Southampton. Contact me on O77O6 49OO93. Private plate not included in the sale, this will be removed before hand and the original 53 plate put back on the car. SOLD I will upload more pictures when I can but for now: Edited November 21, 2014 by SamN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r111nxx Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Good luck with the sale. Sorry to be a vulture but if you do sell bits on can I have first refusal on the front 25mm spacers and springs. GLWTS though. Looks a nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc1987 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 As we seem to be digitally breaking the car... dibs in exhaust!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamN Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Shall I just break the whole thing?! Haha Couldn't remove the exhaust as I don't have a standard replacement anyway.. Edited June 16, 2014 by SamN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyZed Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Just a heads up you may struggle with that mileage and age! Sell the extras separately as you will make more money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Bradders- Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Is it me or is the car a limited Nike edition? above front wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamN Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Why is the mileage/age a problem? The engine is fine, and has full service history (including a recent service). That shouldn't put anyone off. It's prefer not to put it back to standard if possible as it's a lovely car as it is. The price is open to negotiation anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r111nxx Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I don't think you will struggle to sell it. As long as it has good service history, it will sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I have the same age, similar history, mileage a bit higher, and i paid £5000 last month for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Sorry mine was 54, just to give you a rough idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamN Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 I know modifications don't strictly increase the value but they do gave a bearing on it... Anyway that's not helping my sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Sorry, yours does look nicer though haha, but i think 6500 is a bit much for the age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incredibl Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I think if your mileage was lower you would get your asking. Good luck Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
