Urgent - help needed on buying a Zed

Hey All,

 

So I went up to Newcastle to see a Zed today...and loved it.

 

The car was clean, engine sounded good, interior was well kept.

 

The car is advertised as a 313, and the guy told me its a 313. Its got the bonnet bulge and its an 07 plate. Date of first registration is June 2007.

 

I popped the bonnet to check the engine bay, and compare the look with the post Ebized directed me at regarding the twin intakes. From what I could see, it looked like it did have twin intakes BUT the engine looked more like the first pic than the second pic in the link http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=39113&hilit=model+difference.

 

Like a lemon, I forgot to take a pic of the engine bay. I've asked the guy to send me a pic tomorrow so ill get it uploaded ASAP.

 

If anyone could confirm its a dual intake then I'm going to get the car...so hopefully this time next week i'll be the proud new owner of a Z!

im pretty sure it is a 313 but want a second opinion.

 

reason i ask is because when I put the plate into an insurance quote it comes up as a "NISSAN 350 GT COUPE 3499cc 2 Door 2003----- ", and I would have thought it would come up as the 2007+ one.

 

actual advert of the car can be found here: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201120387710992/sort/priceasc/usedcars/maximum-age/up_to_4_years_old/price-to/12000/price-from/11000/model/350_z/make/nissan/postcode/cr42bh/page/1/radius/1501?logcode=p

Seems like an absolute steal at that price. Immediate impression is it's a 313. Another way to find out is if the ignition keyhole is illuminated and what revs it redlines at. Should be pretty obvious what engine it is when you open the bonnet.
