Pingu2 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hi everyone, my Z has to make way for a new car (I've had it over 3 years and it's time for a change!). The car is well known on the forum and has been 100% reliable and a pleasure to own. The car looks great in red (and stands out from 95% of other Z's!) and sounds even better. I am looking for £10000. 2004 UK GT - Chilli Red with black leather44K miles - FSH (at nissan dealer) and plenty of receipts since I got her!Running on synhetic Amsoil which it doesn't burn any of Car has just completed P2 service and MOT at Nissan dealer in March 2011 Modifications: (the good part!) Nismo rear spoilerNismo exhaustKinetix High-Flow Cats (passes MOT no worries)Kinetix V5+ plenumHaltech Platinum ECU (this is a fairly high end ECU and total overkill - but I got it when I was thinking of installing a turbo)KW Variant 1 coilovers - fantastic suspension, has made a huge difference to the car - corners like it's on rails now but is obviously lower than standard - I have the original suspension too if required.Adjustable rear toe-armsK&N air filterGrounding kitCarbon fibre interior trim - see http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=8495&hilit=carbon+fibre+pingu2Upgraded rear boot struts - to take the extra weight of the Nismo spoilerKenwood CD player running through the orginal bose amp/speakers - I have the original fitment stereo too which was working fine when removedToyo T1R tyres with loads of tread all roundSlotted EBC disks all round - new about 6 months backGoodridge braided brake hosesEBC pads all round with lots of wear left I also have a spare replacement clutch and lightweight flywheel which I was going to get fitted this year - they are new and can be included if you want for an extra £300 or I will sell them seperately. The car is running better than ever and pulling strongly at any speed. The car was remapped about a year ago by TDI - which really improved day to day driveability of the car, with a good increase in low down torque and smoothness. You can find a writeup and dyn charts on the TDI website at: http://tdi-plc.com/blog/category/japan/nissan/350z-ecu-upgrade/ TDI also installed the coilovers/toe-arms and Sam Borgman did a full geometry setup. The bad parts: The wheels (original GT wheels) are scuffed/kerbed and could do with a refurb.The paint on these cars is SO thin that like any Z that has done 44k miles there are some stonechips and small scratches.The condition of the car is good but it's not a new car! Any problems are reflected in the asking price. Price reduced even further!! My other car is back from the shop and the 350z is just taking up space now - price reduced further (yet again) - it's a bargain! I had this car up for sale last year and nearly sold it, but then my 928 broke down again and winter came (and life got in the way!), but now I would like to sell it again!

marzman Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Well worth sorting the airbag issue before selling mate, however small. It would put me off buying it personally. Nice car though, good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwanageDave Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I think you will sell no problem at that price, i would even add another grand on it to be true. the problem with the airbbag is one i have all the time and i sorted it by switching on and off three times waiting 4 seconds inbetween once the airbag light started to flash and it is cured glwts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu2 Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 OK airbag light is now off after reseting it - only started recently and hasn't done it before in 3 years. Thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
