Ekona Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Kinda what I was thinking. Stunning looking car though, just a shame it's an NA slushbox. Would make a nice daily driver though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Think I saw it up for sale at £4500? Which would put it right at the bottom of the price range for a 350z...pretty looking thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeW Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 if it wasnt NA auto i would have gone at this like a nutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 if it wasnt NA auto i would have gone at this like a nutter Not if i got there first haha! i'd swap my zed anyday of the week for a boosted supra!! And as above, the N/a's arent very sort for, you'd struggle to get a straight swap i'd say. maybe if you put cash the other way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex350z Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Surely its only worth 2-3k? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Sooo much hate for the Auto lol. They are still a plenty capable car and although a non turbo model isn't as desirable, they are still increasing in value (manuals more so) chucking a turbo on these can give good gains, up to 400-500 hp on standard internals on as little as 0.5bar boost... I am keeping it for now, i have plans for it. Will continue to be lurking in the back ground and saving for a Z though...

-Bradders- Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 sell it 3k, add a couple k and get yourself a low end 350, i paid 5k for mine, didnt turn out too well, lasted a year or so lol now being fully rebuilt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Agree with Bradders, sell as is and add some funds, you wont get a straight swap there is far too much financial daylight between the cheapest 350z and the top end value of your Supra. If you have funds, then maybe a manual/turbo conversion would be better suited? Seems a nicely prepared machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
