Richf Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Budget is £9k , might stretch a little for the right car Must have black leather & Bose Nice to have stock'ish Sat nav heated seats steering wheel controls bluetooth Not sunset orange but w.h.y?

ATTAK Z Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 good budget ... my only comment is that satnav is not really desirable in a 350 and to the club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Steering wheel controls and bluetooth are standard on GT cars. As is leather and heated seats. As said above, the OEM Sat Nav is crap. You'd be better retro fitting a unit into the cubby yourself. £9k will get a good car. Probably be able to pick up a HR engines car for that actually.

KyleR Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Beautiful R34 Why you getting rid if I may ask? If you're patient you'll get an HR for that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richf Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Skyline tax and parts availability, they are getting old now and Nissan are removing parts from availability Getting stupidly cheap insurance quotes on 350's as well less than a 1/3rd of the Skyline which was similar hp . Ofsets the cost of the tax a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 If you have come from an r34 I think you will be disappointed True but i'm used to it 300hp bike to 450hp R33 GTST - 400hp Evo 6 - 300 hp R34 .........on a downward slope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richf Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 350z is probably just as quick as my Skyline , maybe a touch quicker but my daily has a supercharger and turbo so will still get my boooooost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richf Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Been to look at one locally an 06 plate with 73,000miles up for £8750, bit scruffy on the outside but i imagine those bumpers are easy damaged , it had an envy scratch down the door but worst of all the interior drivers door handle was in very poor shape and the centre cubby hole equally bad Bit disappointed how bad they wear inside , my Skyline is pretty good even after 100,000 miles and 15 years ! I wanted to drive an 06 to get a feeling of the power delivery but it didnt feel as torquey as i'd hoped , didnt feel anything like 300hp lets hope the HR feels better , i suspect this one is just a poor example Thinking of stretching the budget a little to £10500 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D8NMT Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Just to chuck it out there, my 2006 is up for £7250 and is immaculate with only 48K. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/77053-2006-nissan-350z-manual-48k-silver-final-reduction-to-7250/ I know it's not exactly the spec you are looking at, but just wanted to make you aware of it. You would have a nice chunk of money left over for some mods ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 I did consider yours mate but you are a fair way away , not a fan of the wrap or the exhausts but i know that's a reflection on me rather than your car as it looks a cracker Also leather is a must have i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D8NMT Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 No worries, It's booked in at the garage tomorrow to go back to standard, which will include: - Roof wrap and plasti dip on bumper removed - Lowering springs removed and standard spring fitted - Japspeed exhaust removed and standard exhaust fitted (Just stating this for the benefit of others who might be looking, not trying to persuade you!) Good luck with your search, you will get an absolute beauty with that budget! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your hunt This felt really bad , my 200hp Skoda wouldve seen it off , i suspect Its just a sorry example and or It had normal unleaded in or very old super , its been hanging around at the dealer for a long time Edited November 13, 2013 by Richf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
