deank93 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hi All, I'm on the look out for a decent 350z, ideally a 313 but realistically it will be the 300 version, my search had led me to a rather nice looking 2006/56 model which is being advertised as a 313 version but the pictures show a car with the normal bonnet rather than the bulged bonnet which i understand is to accomidate the taller revised 313 engine. I've emailed the owner asking various questions regarding history etc and mentioned that i was assuming that the add stating it was the 313 model was a typing error and could he confirm if it was a 276 or 296 model but the owner has come back to me this morning saying that he has been in contact with Nissan GB who have assured him it is a 313 version and has kindly offered me the chassis number so i can make my own checks. What is the story here? am i mistaken and there are 313 versions with the older style bonnet, i'd be grateful if someone could clarify as i might have fallen in love with this car a little bit.

deank93 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 In addition, the easy way would be to request a picture of under the bonnet to know for sure but the owner is away at the moment so i can't have any more pictures. thanks in advance.

introspect Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Won't be a 313 on that plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 All 313 models will have the bonnet bulge I thought that the 313 facelift was in 07? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 All 313 models will have the bonnet bulge I thought that the 313 facelift was in 07? It was, first UK cars arrived springtime IIRC. No way is it a 313. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodyboarder Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 get him to send you a pic of the engine, the 313 have 2 air intakes one either side of the engine. pretty sure it wont be a 313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deank93 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks for the speedy replys. If the owner is convinced he has a 313 and he is saying Nissan GB back that how would you suggest i prove other wise to the owner....he must have it priced to sell thinking he has a 313 so if i can provide conclusive evidence it is not a 313 this would put me in an improved positon regarding negotiating a better price.

bodyboarder Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Whats it up for? If the owner thinks its a 313 he could be asking to much for it........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodyboarder Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I paid 16k for my 313 on a 57 plate with 17k on , so they are out there at that price although i think i did get a genuine bargain That is quite ££££ for a 296 Oh mine has sat nav and gt pack.

deank93 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 So if it isn't a 313 how can i tell if it is a 296 or a 276? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Under bonnet pics. Interior pics will reveal if it's a 276 or 296 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I wasn't aware a nismo edition was released in the uk i don't think it was officially released as a Nismo but you could tick all the Nismo boxes when buying new and they would fit everything needed before rolling it out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greekman Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 as above. no way a 313 with that bonnet...it doesnt fit...it has got rays on...unless they are aftermarket its a late 297. owner who doesnt know his car...i doubt they are aftermarket.. check the service book and the clutch m8...he doesnt know his own car!!!!

bodyboarder Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thats a trader a trader as well. Best bet is to look on here and find one....... and what ever you do dont buy one from s20004u, yee haa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deank93 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 I'm suprised the owner doesn't know what car he has too, that does strike me as odd....i can't work out if he is a dealer or private seller. The pics look like its kept in someones street and there is no link to a dealer website at the bottom of the add like all other dealer adds but the top of the add says ccc limited.

andyzed Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 So if it isn't a 313 how can i tell if it is a 296 or a 276? The rev-up (296bhp) engine redlines at 7000rpm The non rev-up (276bhp) redlines at 6600rpm So a simple check of the rev counter should tell you if it is the 296 or 276 bhp model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats wrong with S20004u? i had noticed that they seem to have quite a few availalbe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
