Olly350z Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Evening Everyone, Welcome to my for sale add for my 2003 facelifted DE. So it's with a slightly heavy heart that I think it's time to move on and grow up a little. Work have offered me some very tempting deals on the new Type R's, so rather than running two cars, two lots of insurance etc I'm thinking its time to let the Z go. I've enjoyed every moment of ownership and who knows, I may well return! On to the car, it's a 2003 DE Z that I have spent a great deal on, from running, servicing and modifying. Mileage currently sits at just under 90,000 miles which is unlikely to rise a great deal as it's my weekend toy. I've owned it for just over three years now and before my ownership, it had FSH from Nissan. I've kept this up in my ownership with servicing every 6K miles, using only genuine oil filters, millers fully synth 5w-40 oils supplied from Opie Oils. If I've not been able to do it, my work (Honda) have done instead with all receipts to prove. I had it resprayed in April 2017 by my local garage and as a result, the paintwork does speak for itself. This year, back in June I had the facelift front end fitted and fully resprayed so it's as near perfect. I'm going to be honest and say it does have the odd car park ding and the slightest bubble of rust on the drivers rear arch. It also has a chip on the roof, I'm guessing from a stone but do bear in mind its 15 years old now. Mechanically, it's near perfect. It doesn't burn oil excessively, with no nasty knocks or clonks. Every gear slots perfectly into place, the clutch does not slip and if I could fault it, it has a noisy release bearing but this is a common trait of Zs. I'm going to be perfectly honest and say that the timing chain can be noisy from a stone cold startup, normally after it been left for a week or so but its been like this ever since I bought it. Oil pressure sits at 30psi with a hot run and 60psi at 70mph / 3500 revs. In my ownership with the servicing, the last service it had (2k miles ago) I replaced the coil packs, spark plugs & both primary 02 sensors as I was having issues with 02 lights coming on. It passed its MOT back in June last year with no advisories. It failed beforehand on the carbon monoxide levels, which is what prompted me to replace the entire exhaust system. The interior is in great condition for its age, with only a few notable areas. The drivers bolster is beginning to show its age, the passenger seat is perfect. The cubby hole button has a few scratches while the mats, carpets have little to no wear on them. Again, being honest I have smoked in this car but I will happily give the car a full valet at work if the buyer should so choose. I've tried to be as honest here as I can and have more than likely forgotten a whole host of information. I have never skimped on parts or money spent here and the car easily owes me £12000 if not more. The registration is KD53 DGZ for those who would like to look up its history, and a full build thread is available on the 350z UK forum. Pictures are available on request, Price is £7500 OVNO based on the agreed valuation. Please bare in mind in the photo's its very dirty having done a long drive last weekend.
