Stutopia Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 My beloved 350Z GT manual, coupe, in Gunmetal, black leather interior and cheaper road tax. Purchased in February 2013 on a very low 33,650 miles and now up to 68,100 (rising slightly with daily driving). She's been an absolute pleasure to own and has never wanted for anything. You can see below the common Zed issues I've addressed, so you don't have to. Maintenance Work Done - replaced both cam position sensors 
- clicky axles fixed
 - new Bosch battery - replaced the w-brace
 and end fixings - replaced offside banana bar - replaced clutch slave cylinder - added braided clutch line, with uprated fluid - new clutch and dual mass flywheel
 - replaced both cam covers For a 13 year old car she’s in excellent condition but there some age related items. - Front end has the usual Zed stone chips. - Rays were refurbished 3 years ago and are in good shape but there is some kerbing. - Driver’s side seat bolter is losing a battle with my ass. - Some clown has chipped the passenger door. In addition to routine maintenance, my favourite mods are listed below. Stopping, Turning & Going - DBA T2 disc and Ferodo DS2500 pads all round – improved braking power and resistance to fade - HEL braided lines added, with RBF fluid -Nismo RS throttle pedal, for easier heel and toe - Bilstein B6 dampers, TEIN S springs, Whiteline drop links and Eibach ARB – a full overhaul of the suspension - Plenum spacer, Berk HFC and Cobra resonated exhaust added to aid breathing and give a beefier sound - UpRev at TDI North yielding 292bhp and 264 lbft Cosmetic Work - added front lip, side steps, spats and rear spoiler – colour coded for an OEM+ look - added a carbon rear diffuser - upgraded to 2006 LED rear lights and crystal indicators - polished plenum - replaced the floppy plastic under tray with quality aluminium Z speed under tray - carbon dipped the scratched interior door plastics - painted the centre console, colour coded gunmetal but with a matt finish - re-sprayed the wing mirrors (black) and door handles (original) - added quarter window louvres (painted black) - gloss vinyl wrapped roof - boot glass privacy tint - added a dash camera - Jack Royal steering wheel refurb – thicker, flat bottomed and shaped for your thumbs - this is a sensational upgrade over OEM Upgraded ICE (£1,000+) I have replaced the Bose kit with: - Pioneer double din, with reverse camera and ready to connect and charge your iPhone or Android phone. - Hertz HDP5 - 5 Channel Amplifier - under the boot floor hidden from view - Hertz HSK 165 Components – tweeters out of shot above - No photo of the Hertz HCX 165 Coaxial rear speakers, but they are there. - Clarion 10†Sub, in the OEM location. - Dynamat in the doors, sub enclosure and lining some of the boot plastics to reduce resonance and vibration. I’ve kept a hefty binger full of history and invoices for maintenance and modifications. For my full build you can review the PDF attached and also at http://www.350z-uk.c...the-shark-build. Service history is shown below, the PO had it as a weekender and there are some annuals missing, but he did do them to mileage. My first job was to replace everything at a major service and she’s been serviced thoroughly ever since, last one was Feb 2017, so good for a while yet. Mileage & Service Date 06,301 - 04.12.05 11,794 - 16.11.06 17,550 - 20.03.08 22,365 - 02.12.09 30,720 - 03.08.12 37,029 - 25.06.13 45,345 - 09.04.14 53,219 - 06.03.15 61,147 - 15.02.16 67,813 - 09.02.17 MOT history is attached at the bottom of this post, all historic advisories have been addressed. Current MOT runs until November 2017. There is no finance outstanding. The car is in Blackpool and available for test drive, with the correct insurance. Alternatively, I am happy to take you out for an extended drive on the Fylde. In addition I am also frequently in Sheffield and Leeds so can possibly let you view it there, no test drives without insurance though. If you have any questions or need more photos, please do get in touch. Some more photos to whet your appetite: N.B. Umbrella is not included, a Nissan/Nismo one would probably look good. The fantastic Jack Royal steering wheel and painted centre console. Some of the work done. Comes with two keys and four Michelin Pilot Super Sports on at least 5mm. Price is £7,000 but I am open to sensible offers. MOT History.pdf Zed Build.pdf 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 As a small cherry on this magnificent cake, I'll even include a DVD of The Run. Nissan’s promotional 350Z movie, filmed on location racing through the ancient streets of Prague. An homage to the classic 1976 Parisian short film “C'était un rendez-vousâ€. There’s also a few DVD extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Didn't expect that, you only just got the centre console painted. What's made you want to sell, or more importantly, what are you changing to? Great advert though, GLWS.

What's made you want to sell, or more importantly, what are you changing to? Great advert though, GLWS. Cheers. The centre console has been a work in progress for ages, it's just a question of unlucky timing. The reason for sale is a BRZ in gorgeous WRC blue and a G37 have both popped up locally and I'm not entirely certain I can resist both of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strudul Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 By the looks of it, the only reason this hasn't sold yet is because the umbrella isn't included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 By the looks of it, the only reason this hasn't sold yet is because the umbrella isn't included I've ordered a replacement umbrella to fill in where mine goes, hopefully this will help.

veeg33 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Good luck with the sale Stu!! Surely someone will buy this from you at £7k, this is an absolute bargain with all the mods and care given to this zed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankstar123 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hi, I'm in the market for a 350z. (I bought NA04BRZ 350z Gun Metal Grey, new and sold it 2006) Anyhoo, congrats on a beautiful looking Zed. At what mileage was the Z at when the dyno was taken and how many miles has the clutch done?
