The time has come when I need to accept that it’s not practical to keep a car as a ‘pet’. It has only done just over 1500 miles in the last five years and in the last year only 235 miles! Not intentionally been out in bad weather since 2010! I don’t NEED to sell it and if I had a double garage I would be keeping it but I don’t actually think it’s doing it any good to be just stood there. So, if it takes time to find someone prepared to buy it for what I believe it’s worth then that’s fine by me. This car is as original as you will find (other than leather retrim). It’s the launch year in the launch colour. I would love it to go to someone who would keep it as a future classic, but sadly that’s beyond my control! Details as follows: 2003 350z (fairlady version S) 84k (had less than 5k on when purchased and was obviously a Japanese person’s weekend toy) Personally sourced and imported for me as a grade A car in 2007 by Jurgen Vallons, JM Imports (the first zed he ever imported). JM Imports handled all of the ESVA work, the Thatcham Cat 1 approved alarm, the undersealing and bespoke leather seats. All of the clocks have been changed to UK and you wouldn’t know the difference. Daily commuter from 2007 to 2010 and since then has been a garaged second car. I have all of the original import paperwork including receipts, original Japanese documents, handbook, service history, owner’s manual etc. 3 original keys including valet key Bespoke leather seats with contrasting orange trim Thick 350z carpet mats in front and also in the boot Vertical tonneau cover and cargo nets 18 inch unmarked original wheels Body coloured rear wheel spats Brembo brakes Xenon headlights Lip spoiler UK OEM exhaust (Japanese OEM exhausts have baffles to make them quiet due to Japanese noise restrictions) New rear tyres with almost no mileage on them New battery Pristine engine bay Electric folding wing mirrors Professionally Ceramic coated by Rhodium Detailing (body, wheels, glass). Zero rust All of the original accessories e.g. Spare wheel jack, tool kit etc untouched – including 2x spare mirror glasses RRP £80 each. Tonnes of history and all receipts and MOTs in a large folder Serviced in May 2023 MOT until end of May 2024 (has only ever failed an MOT on light bulbs and number plate spacing which can be checked online) Vehicle tax is £255 The only small negative is a ding on the bonnet from a stone strike and some stone chips which you would expect on any car of similar mileage. I will upload some more photos i.e. interior, engine bay etc. at the weekend. £8500 Email for further info – nicolapattison1@gmail.com

For Sale on behalf of another member who hasn't had her zed for a number of years. Her car was damaged down one side, so the wheels are from the undamaged side of the car only. They are as shown in the photo taken yesterday and look unmarked. Located in Huddersfield. £50 per wheel. No tyres. Strictly collection only. I can vouch for Fiona, she is a good friend of mine, hence my username is on the photo. If you are interested please email feefee.mitchell@hotmail.com

I've been a member of this forum since the year before I got my z (2006). I can't remember the last time I came on here as mainly use the facebook group but just thought I would check in to see who's still alive! Still have my z, can't part with it, even though now it only does about 500 miles a year and never sees rain if I can help it. It's now 16 years old and has not really missed a beat - failed an MOT once for a lightbulb and miss-spaced number plate! Still in fantastic condition and worth more than it's 'book value' if that makes sense, so will continue to live in my garage apart from the odd sunny day. I'm still not bored of the way it looks and still don't see many around. I spotted a guy in Market Weighton where I live last week, riding a push bike, wearing a 350z t shirt! I would have given him a wave but sadly I was driving my clio! Anyway, hi to any other remaining OGs! ( would add a wave smiley but I've been gone so long I have no idea how.....:-))

10 years on - same!

I wish you all the best. I hope it works out and if it doesn't at least you tried. Everybody knows when they have reached the end of the line once and for all and if you haven't you haven't it's as simple as that!

Jeez what is your food bill like! You don't eat steaks you eat joints of beef!

You must be seriously bored......... are you still on holiday and have run out of things to surf on t'internet?

Heard it coming before I saw it with quite loud exhaust. I think it was brickyard colour but could have been a non standard paint job - not seen many of those around. Driver parked up at Market Weighton Tesco to use cash machine and I was hovering around next to my fiat 500 wondering whether to give him a club card - but bottled it!

Anyone else got pictures of GTR and GTRD on 18s?

I'm looking at the Japan Racing JR3 or similar Rotas - I've seen the colour of them in the flesh at Tarmacsportz but pictures of them online in GM seem to vary very much and I'd really like to see them on a sunset (or any similar wheel in GM) because I'm so undecided! Silver was my first choice but hard to get hold of.

You need a 'still haven't got a clue' option........

Amazing photos!

If anyone has a sunset with gunmetal wheels can you post a pic up? I think I'm set on silver but Tarmac has some I like that are only available in GM but I'm just not sure without seeing them on that colour car. Thanks peeps.

I actually like the 25's Chris - depending on colour of course!

I had mine replaced quite a while ago. When driving over a certain speed it whistles!! I told auto glass who said they can only do a road test at the speed limit, therefore I live with the whistle!
