I'm with Dave on this one - it does look like the 313bhp - 350Z model.

Very nice Russ - Hope you can make it to a meet soonish so I can have a gander.

yeah the bonnet is a dead give away!!

by **Myfeckin FTO** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 11:46 am

Theres very few of the 313bhp's around Russ - would it be this one by any chance? - http://www.carzone.ie/used-cars/Nissan/ ... E/1034031/

Damn it.

Yeah, I'm with you guys now. I hadn't noticed that sweep on the bonnet of the Zed before. And if anyone should know its you guys.
I thought a Jag was outta place on this forum!! :lol:

They must be going dirt cheap at the rate that ex-FTOers are snapping them up!

Yep Dave you hit the nail on the head... i was hoping for a more element of mystery around this post... i test drove the 2008 last night but had a complete disaster experience with the dealer due to lack of communication and since i'm stuck for time i bought another 2007 model and got a great price / trade in.

This is her.... pick her up on Thursday or sooner if i get my way.

The photo's do not do this car justice its simply stunning.... new rear lights / headlights, alloys, engine, nice interior upgrades all add to the package.... Just made a great car even better

Myfto will certainly pop down to the next meet... must see when its on.

Wow, impressive stuff Russ, best of luck with it! On the downside, you could have bought 8 manual GPX's for the same money

CJ

by **RussMan** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 3:39 pm

That would be some driveway ... 8 GPX'a ... just like the lotto ad!
