Still not 100% about this but Im sorely tempted by a Cayman ..........

So, for sale is my 2003 JDM 350Z - I originally bought it in 2006 and have had it ever since, although obviously there has been rather a lot of work done to it in that time. Its on a bit under 100K miles but has full service history from Marshall Nissan Cambridge, both me and the guy that imported it had everything done there.

 

All the bodywork was done by Will@Streeoptions after a slight "incident" and he did a rather magnificent job - this isnt some halfarsed fibreglass job, the bodykit is genuine Chargespeed all round with some excellent modification to fit the arches which are all 1 off and made of metal, they are roughly 75mm wider than standard to fit over the wheels .........

 

......... which are Work Equip 18x10 ET -18 front (with 25mm spacers) and SSR Leon Hardirit 19x11.15 ET15 rear (also with 25mm spacers) running nearly new RE050A and even newer Michelin Pilot Supersports respectively - Ill throw in the other half of the set of Hardiritts (10J ET 15 IIRC) and a set of 350Z Rays as well.

The paint is slightly lighter than standard with about 4 times the metalflake in it and really comes up beautifully in direct sunlight, its also just been back to Will to get generally tidied up so is pretty much immaculate now.

 

Mods are: Scorpion resonated exhaust (nearly new), HSD coilovers, plenum spacer, Pop charger (induction kit), Vibratechnics engine mounts, some kind of posh JDM decats, Project Mu front pads and DS2500 rears, braided brake lines, Nismo wheel, dials and gearknob, D1 Spec Throttle controller, uprated Focal speakers all round and a fancy pants Pioneer touch screen head unit.

It has cloth seats (less slippy and wear better than leather) and dials are still in km, interior is in pretty decent condition.

 

It has been tracked, it has been drifted and I drive hard, but its always been warmed up and cooled down properly, serviced regularly and treated with respect, Im not aware of any current issues and anything that comes up gets fixed immediately. Its undersealed but I never drive it when theres salt on the road anyway, Ive also taken it to Le Mans 3 years in a row without it missing a beat.

 

The thing that amazes me with this car is how it drives, I honestly expected to have cocked the handling up by fitting stupid wheels but the grip it has is insane, and if anything turn in and feedback are even better than standard. The ride is also compliant enough for going proper quick on bumpy roads, I recently drove a 370 Nismo and Id take my Zed over it every day of the week.

Its low but will still go over speed bumps, it would look awesome even lower but I dont have the balls to try it :D

 

Only issues are: rear wheels could probably do with a refurb as the only time I ever took it to a Eastern European carwash they got a bit keen with the acid, one of the topmounts very occasionally gets noisy for a few minutes ...... and thats it.

 

This is a totally unique, 1 off car so Im saying £10K - as per first line Im not even sure Im doing the right thing so no lowballing please, Im also not really after P/X unless its a standard car with 400hp (or aforementioned Cayman) ;)

She's a good looking girl and I saw her myself I dunno is it 3 years ago now, probably longer.

 

The arches are mean, and has been tastefully blended in with the rest of the chargespeed. Not many cars on the road with a FULL chargespeed, AND original.

 

Good luck with the sale, curious to know your next venture......

FWIW, that's a great advert. Yes, the car does get driven hard, but make no mistake the owner does not scrimp on maintenance. A great car, and a fair price.

 

Good luck with the sale bud, this deserves a good home after the work you've put I to it :)

10k for a 2003 reg import on just under 100k? Pardon my ingornace, but how does that work?

 

You build one like this, you see how much it costs you - this isnt a bodykit, this is dozens of hours of sheet metalwork and custom paint. Granted, youll never see back what you put in on a modified car but its just had another £1000 dropped on it in paint and bodywork to make it immaculate again and that was just tidying up, the original project was huge.

 

There was also another one with just a bodykit and 3 inch spacers that went for considerably more than Im asking this last week ;)

 

There are more pics, including some from the build - Ill try get some up later but thanks for positive comments :thumbs:

Hell yes, Id consider offers of a sexual nature as well if you want? :lol:

 

Its a difficult one to stick a price on as theres nothing really to compare to, but the two sets of wheels alone have got to be nearly £2K with the tyres ...... :scare:
