mouthwash Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone, I don't feel great about doing this but my 350z is up for sale, the reason for selling is I'm making a few changes to my life and as a result the car has to go. Specification So to dive straight in, here is the specification of the car: General: 2005 (55) 350z GT Manual Just over 53k miles Thick boot mat Storage net Recent clutch change Rear parking sensors Full service history 1 years MOT will come with the car 3 Keys No finance Engine: Vortech V3 SCi Supercharger Kit (Fitted July 2014) Vortech 3.12 Pulley M Spec Polished Charge Pipe (rather than the horrible looking guttering). AAM Oil Pan Spacer (car now takes approx. 6.5 litres of oil) Stillen Oil Cooler UpRev GT MAF 1 Step Colder Spark Plugs Deatchwerks 650cc Injectors Walbro 255 Fuel Pump Fuel Return System Wasso Plenum Spacer Uprev Map running approx. 440bhp at the fly Exhaust: Berks Decat Pipes Stillen y pipe Nismo Cat-back Exhaust (very rare) Suspension: Meister R Zeta-S Adjustable Coilovers SPC Rear Adjustable Camber Arms Interior: AEM Air/Fuel Ratio Guage AEM Oil Temp Guage Twin 52mm Guage Holder Exterior: Stillen Roof Spoiler Replica Nismo V2 front bumper 20/25mm front/back wheel spacers Recently refurbished OEM colour Rays 2 x rear Goodyear Eagle F1 approx. 1k miles old 2 x front Bridgestone RE040s with a good amount of tread left Front pads and discs replaced within the last year (with OEM items), rears still have a good amount of life left. Condition Exterior: As the car has been used and kept on the road/outside world for the last 9 years there are a few age related marks around the car which I have tried to capture, I in no way think this detracts from how good the car looks for its age. I've looked after it to the best of my ability and am always very anal about where I park it, to the point where sometimes I just won't take my car if I don't think I can find someone safe to put it. Rear passenger side wheel: Front passenger side: Front driver side: Rear driver side: Due to the car being low there are a few scrapes on the underside of the car but nothing massive, worst one pictured. Here are a few age related marks: The above is not a dent just a badly filled in scratch at the bottom of the passenger door. I also scraped the front bumper coming into a car park but again, you can't really see it unless you look for it. THIS HAS NOW BEEN FIXED. The Stillen roof spoiler has a chip in the paint where the previous owner fitted it too close to the roof so when the boot opened it scraped. Interior: The front interior of the car is in good condition with a bit of wear on the electric window button and the gear knob. The drivers seat is in good condition and hasn't got any worse since I've owned it because I'm a slim individual. The rear (or boot) of the interior is in pretty poor condition due to me using it to transport around equipment for the Supercharger install. Unfortunately the plastics will need replacing if you care enough about it but I never did. The plastics where the suspension adjusters are located are still available, they're just not on as I didn't want to drill holes in them. Engine & Transmission The engine has covered 53k miles in 9 years, it's never ever missed a beat for me and has been 100% reliable. I regularly keep an eye on oil levels etc especially as it's now Supercharged, after a recent trip to Germany (just over 1k miles) the car used no oil. The gearbox is still super smooth and I have no problems selecting gears, the clutch was changed approx. 7k miles ago History I bought the car from a garage in April/May 2012 and the previous owner had the car since 2006. The car was 100% standard when I bought it so all of the modifications that are to be listed in this sale have been either done by myself or a garage that I have paid to do it. I have a build thread on this forum which you can read and see the amount of care, love AND money I've put into the car. The car has full service history from one Nissan garage, Abbey MS and Super 7 Autos. The car has been serviced every year regardless of the amount of miles it has done, I have tons and tons of receipts for £1000s: When the Supercharger was fitted the car basically had a full P3 service due to everything needing to be taken apart. The car had a recent oil change at Super 7 Autos. Due to the Supercharger the running costs of this car are different to that of a normal 350z, the oil needs to changed every 2500 miles regardless and the Supercharger oil needs changing. The oil was last changed just over 1k miles ago so new engine oil will be needed in about 1500 miles and Supercharger oil in about 6500 miles. Faults: There is currently a boost/air leak at 1900rpm which has been compensated for in the current map, since it's been adjusted for it doesn't have an impact on the way the car drives. I've been advised by H-dev that it should not cause problems with anything else. Since the SC install the fuel guage has become pretty inaccurate but if you just keep fuel in there it shouldn't be a problem, I'm not 100% sure on what is causing the issue and I will do my upmost to investigate before it is sold. (it works fine, it just doesn't quite reach the DTE light). Price £11000 This is a reluctant sale and as such I'm not desperate to rid myself of the car, I will not be accepting low ball offers or even replying to them. I also reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone who I think won't look after this car properly. I think the price fairly reflects all the time, effort and money that has gone into this car. Included in the price is all of the OEM parts (except for exhaust), some Azure blue Nismo replica side skirts, a JWT popcharger and I think that's it for the Generation game. Please note: obviously this is not a brand new car in show room condition and I have tried to be as honest as I can with pictures and descriptions etc. Please do not arrange to view this car with the thought in mind that it will be immaculate, I can save you the trouble now.. It's not. However, if you want a very fast road car that's in good condition for its year send me a PM The car is located in Worthing, West Sussex. Thanks for viewing, I will supply my contact details via PM. Edited January 15, 2015 by mouthwash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouthwash Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Car is in for MOT this week, the y-pipe has just started blowing so that is about to be repaired and I'm having the bottom of the front bumper resprayed so the new owner won't have any of that to worry about.

mouthwash Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Car back, MOT passed no advisories and the mark on the front bumper is now gone so looks brand new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Bump, This is still available and waiting to go to a good home. I'm trying not to drive it much at the moment to keep the miles down, it's on about 54100 at the moment. A few people from this forum have been out in it (even driven it), everyone has commented on how well it drives and handles.. I don't think the new owner will be disappointed.

brillomaster Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 just wondering, did you put cats back on for the MOT test, or do you have a friendly MOT tester? Also, I get the engine oil needs changing every 2,500miles, am I right that the supercharger oil needs changing every 7,500miles, or is it just an annual change? I normally service yearly at around 10,000mile intervals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimboy2 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Lovely car GLWS Also if your reading this thinking of selling your own car, take note of this add. Perfectly written! To me this is 50% in choosing a car. If you can be bothered to write a advert like this I know you have a lot of pride in this car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
