rayhoop Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) My wife and I have enjoyed this 350Z since Feb 2012, and are selling as we are expecting twins in October! Strangely we are unable to get 2 baby seats into the back of our Honda Accord when I have the driving seat in my driving position (I'm 6ft 2inches, 6ft of me is legs with 2 inches of torso)... hence we have had to buy a twins + tall dad friendly car. We are keeping the Accord hence the Z is for sale. I just cant justify a 3rd car that would not get used enough. I'm looking for £6490, which I think is a very fair price considering how honest the car is. I looked at many examples before buying this one, and I paid a fair bit more for it at the time as the condition was that much better. I will consider sensible offers. First registered: 29th July 2004 Standard UK GT Spec + the optional extra of rear parking sensors. Blade Silver. Full service history (see below) Run on 98Ron Shell Optimax(Vmax) / Tesco Momentum. Kept garaged most of the time Bluetooth hands free. Bose sound system. All factory stickers in place. HPI clear. Front mats. All paperwork/history available. Jan 2013 = P3+ service (3k miles ago) see details below. Sept 2012 = 4 new tyres + Hunter laser alignment - still like new (4k miles ago). Tax till end of Dec 2013. MOT till 16/09/2013, I will arrange for a new MOT prior to sale. I have all 3 keys (2 x key/alarm + 1x valet) and the key code tag. Original leather Nissan 350Z document wallet, service book, manual. Totally standard apart from the Bose 'hack' (3.5mm jack plug) added for Aux in - phone, Ipod etc. The CD player does not work (will not accept CD's) but the Radio, Aux-in and tape player have been enough to keep me entertained. Interior and body work is very clean for the age. This has been a 2nd car to both myself and the previous owner, with both owners keeping the car garaged, hence the condition. I've not had it detailed but I have personally polished, sealed and waxed the car so it looks nice. It has the expected stone chips and some kerbing and bubbling on the wheels. The interior is in good condition. Everything (except the CD player) works and nothing is 'broken'. Aircon/climate control works perfectly. Blows nice and cold. All electrics work. New boot gas-struts from SGS Engineering last year. All washer jets work perfectly. The engine warms up nicely. Oil pressures are as they should be when cold and hot. Alternator is showing as healthy. The majority of my driving is on A roads and Motorways. As many people can testify on the forum, normal driving will easily see an average of 30mpg. The best 'brim to empty' average I have achieved is 34.1mpg. If I'm a little playful (or stuck in traffic with the A/C on) the average drops to around 28mpg. The worst one off I have seen is an average of 24mpg. Fellow enthusiasts will be able to confirm that 350Zs are very reliable and fairly cheap to maintain. This one especially so as the main cost (tyres and P3) has already been paid for on this car!! The car drives very straight. Brakes are nice and firm (thanks to a full fluid flush and maintenance by Japex) and perform well. No squirming under braking.

Since putting the Zed for sale on other sites (Pistonheads, AutoTrader etc), I've noticed a slight oil leak from the diff. Japex have diagnosed this as a faulty seal. The seal has been ordered and will be fitted prior to sale (Japex are awaiting delivery of the seal from Nissan), as I would not be happy selling in the knowledge of a fault. During the P3, Japex did note that: Front brakes - discs and pads will be required in approx 6k miles (by Japex' estimates) Banana arm bushes - showing signs of wear, but have not failed, just something to be aware of. I will put the car through a fresh MOT. I was asked recently for specific photos showing stone chips, kerbing etc.... so have uploaded more photos to Picasa which can be viewed here: https://picasaweb.go...-speqc4OmQzwE# Feel free to contact Japex Performance to ask about the condition of this Z. They know me by my first name "Keerat". Car can be viewed in Amersham or Guildford (Surrey Research Park). Test drives only on production of valid insurance that covers you to drive other cars. If you do not have adequate insurance then the test drive will only consist of me driving. Email me if you require photos of any specific part of the car. Lets see this Zed go to a fellow Zed enthusiast. I would hate to see it go to someone who will not take care of it.

rayhoop Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Cheers buddy. It hurts to see it go, especially when it feels like I've done lots of maintenance and won't get to enjoy it. Sods law. It is off to Japex on Saturday to have the diff seal replaced. Once this is done I'll get a fresh MOT on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleU Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Lovely looking car, nice and clean ( I would say that though as it looks just like mine!) Good luck, hope it goes to a deserving home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayhoop Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) A cleaner link to the additional photos on Picasa - https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink With these photos I've been overly critical trying to either: a - find little imperfections e.g. kerbing, stone chips, minor parking dents etc... OR b - highlight the general condition of an area, where I have found other Z's to be more worn out. I.e. gear knob, dash, drivers interior pull handle etc. Edited August 7, 2013 by rayhoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
