secretstar07979 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hi guys, I'm in the market for a 350. What are your "professional" opinions on this car? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201610118666992?price-to=8000&postcode=de58af&sort=datedesc&onesearchad=Used&price-from=3000&advertising-location=at_cars&model=350%20Z&make=NISSAN&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Looks good, very well priced and probably an ex forum members car from the mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm no "professional" but it looks decent enough for the money. States that it has had the cam cover gaskets fixed, new clutch & flywheel so that lot won't have been cheap to do which is a great selling point. MOT history shows a lot of advisories in the past but I'd have thought most of them have been dealt with by now: https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ Some decent enough mods done as well like the exhaust, brake discs, aftermarket headunit & more. I'd say take it for a test drive to see how it drives, check all the service history/paper work & if all looks good then I can't see why you wouldn't want to buy it.

secretstar07979 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Thanks for your replies. Will this exhaunt be loud and drone at cruising speeds? If I wanted to resort back to a twin exhaust how easy would this be? What kind of cost are we looking at? I presume I could offset it somewhat by selling the exhaust currently on it?

roasty Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 With a single exit exhaust that's let's say gunna wake your neighbours lol Car looks good tho for the money I guess it would all be about the test drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Doesn't look a bad car at all and With Service History too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 i'd say it's a very good price for what you're getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargara Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 i'd say it's a very good price for what you're getting. My thoughts too, whoever traded that in part-ex must have been robbed if they are able to sell it on at that price and presumably make a profit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Try and get a full years MOT on it as the current MOT is up in Dec,16. Looks a nice Zed, I'm also in the market for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSwin Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Careful it's got an ISIS exhaust, it would do more than wake the neighbours..... 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 nah not an ex members car... no way they'd have got away with a standard aerial for so long! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350zedd Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 What is that extra little switch next to the gearstick for? That switch is to energise the fluxuated capacitation hyper drive mode. ie. warp 9.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secretstar07979 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 What puts me off somewhat is you just know with all the mods it's been ragged to hell and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretstar07979 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 It does have a full service history though so it's obviously been looked after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful...most of the owners on here have modified their cars, and would strongly disagree that they've been ragged to hell and back! LOL! Well I can assure you that no offence was intended. But you know what I mean. I know lots of people like to buy standard cars then modify them themselves.

secretstar07979 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) I have no idea what a bobbin is. Anyway, this is where I am with this car. It ticks all the boxes for what I'm looking for but that exhaust just isn't for me. It's too in your face. I'm not a boy racer. So here is the question. How easy would it be to replace it with a good twin exhaust? I don't mind a nice deep tone but that popping is just not what I'm looking for. Could I sell the exhaust that's on it and how much would that offset the cost? Can you recommend good places near Derby that can carry out the work so I can ring for a quote?
