Jesus that spoiler definately spoils it..

Lovely looking car though..

Wow - Good price for a manual 350Z - great colour too - I have those Rota Rims in Gunmetal Grey on my car. It is an import so if you are looking at it check to make sure the sound system works ok - they can be tempermental. Also check what spec it is - does it have Brembos,HID's, electric heated seats, BOSE sound etc ?? Also subsceptible to clicking coming from rear of car at low speed especially when you turn the wheel - this is likely to be bearings and/or rear drive shafts. Check rear boot and ensure that the rear hatch is easy to open - the struts fail easily. They all seem to have a slight dash rattle (easy fix) - but no harm to point it out when you are bargaining.

Otherwise no major problems - The biggest problem I have is a bad case of "Stupid Grin"

from driving the car.

Nice - I didn't think you could get one for that kind of money - that's less than the TT cost me - I wonder what insurance is like.

1300 for the 4l???!?!? That's insane!!!
Just out of interest when you say "less than the FTO" did you have your FTO insured as being a super beastly weightwatchers mobile - or just a Gpx?

Am seriously drooling over that 350z.. (doing sums in my head all the time now..)

That's pretty sweet - I'm paying 1050 fully comp with Axa for the TT. I did have an option to move to Hibernian and only pay 675 fully comp but they wouldn't cover my wife because she's too young (under 30)... wierd?

And I thought Hibernian were the ones making an effort for younger drivers!

Dunno, should just give up trying to make sense of these insurance companies I think... :roll:

I'm sure the description is wrong - the 350z only came in a 3.5lt (AFAIK)

1300 fully comp + missus for 3.5litre V6 350Z - just the one engine option.
My FTO was insured as a GPX - though ya I should probably have looked for 1/2 price cause I ended up with 1/2 of the car in the shed! :lol:

i see this was sold!! didn't hang about did it!!

i wonder who bought it Russ?

by **RussMan** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 9:22 pm

I wish!!! Babies don't like two seaters... Anyhow your man never rang me back and it was sold in a jiffy. I'd prefer the full GT leather pack etc. 3.5 litre and tax isn't too friendly either.

Must get a spin in one sometime... Any offers???

You can have a spin when ever you want Rusty (can I call you Rusty? :wink:

) - anyone who can run me close in the 1/4 mile (with a ton of extras on board) is ok by me!

Sweet sounds like i'll get a chance at this meet on the 25th??

I was quite proud of my times... must put up the video's i have today.... You'll have to ignore Agent S with her " You can do it put your back into it motivational banter though

"

Yeah - its likely that it will be the 350Z thats gonna do the tunnel run - the FTO isn't insured at the moment.

Looking forward to seeing those video's - I'm sure Agent S was delighted to see me get the fastest FTO time ahead of her Rusty pookins! :lol:

He man... you were running a good 100Kg less than me with your fancy high octane juice.

Me on the other hand ... fully loaded with a a bag of Fto-ireland shirts waying a tonne... ended up throwing them out the door for my last run.

What a buzz that day was i must say

- video's are up by the way
