    Car: 350Z Roadster Track.
    Year: 2008
    K's: Sub 40,000K
    Colour: San Marino Blue
    Contact Details: Chris. Chris.winter@zclub.com.au or 0448912889
    Modifications:2 peice light weight strainless steel Buddy Club Exhaust from Y back.
    Kaminari (Genuin) front lip painted and fitted.
    Kaminari (Genuin) side skirts and rear valance un-painted, un-fitted can come with the car also, but I like the look with just the lip
    Rota Torque 18" wheels (Work Copy)
    Vynal Racing stripes, custom made by Felix. Removable.

    Full service History at Northside Nissan.

    The Good:
    "Never been thrashed" ;) :br: :rofl:

    It's well known that I've loved this car since I got it. Awesome fun. Great car. Reliable zedding. I was this car's first owner after buying it from Total Nissan as a dealer managers car.

    The exhaust is SEX to my ears. Also have the stock Y back if it is too much sex for yours.

    Yes this car has seen 2 track days, 2 drag days, and a 2 day classic rally but the other side of this cars life is that, as the K's reflect, it's been garaged and used sparingly also. It's a great car!

    The not so Good:
    3" tear in roof at rear passanger side. Can be patched for a few hundred and if the car doesn't sell fast, I'll end up doing this anyway.

    Normal interior scratches.

    Clutch is fine for daily driving but I'd recommend anyone wanting to do motorsport upgrade it. The stock clutch over heats when pushed VERY hard and you'll get slippage. But as said, for daily driving and the normal freeway "fun" it's not a problem.

    1 sun visor clip broken ($8 part)

    Reason for sale:
    I've enjoyed this car so much and still love it to bits. I am in no rush to sell but saying that, I have spotted the next car I want (it's a secret). So make me an offer.

    Will upload pics from home later but for now, here's a couple of vids.

    It's been a hard choice matey :(

    I've tested MANY other cars (including the new 86) and walked away knowing I already have a BETTER car.

    But I've just test driven a car that has me very very tempted.

    It's a bit left field but I'll say is, it's time for me to have something I'm not tempted to modify or race.

    Something to just relax in and enjoy the drive to work and back when the mood takes me, with room for the kids too.

    wait and see bro. If this comes off....I think you'll like it ;)

    And the reality is, if this doesn't come off. I'll keep the 350 and be happy.

    it's a win win as far as I can see.

    Heads up. As there is a car for sale that I REALLY want, I would currently take $33K as is.

    If that car sells, I'll be gutted, but I'll also no longer be in a rush to sell.

    $33000 ono

    Don't want to miss out on the other car I'm after.

    Have just also got new sun visor clip so consider that fixed.

    $30,000 offer to Aus300 and zclub ONLY

    $30,000 to a Zclub or Aus300zx member offer ONLY.

    This car is for sale on gumtree and carsales.com.au at $33,000

    It is the ONLY HR Roadster Track on carsales in WA as far as I can see.

    Until the car I want (current in a car yard) sells, I would accept an offer of $30,000 flat from a true zedder.

    If i miss out on the other car, price goes back up.

    The following information has been amended above due to quote from trimmers to work on the roof:

    " tear in roof at rear passanger side. I have had this looked at by a reputable trimmers who said it can not be repaired due to the location, but that a full replacment would cost only just under $3K. This is an opertunity for the next owner to truley make this roadster one of a kind. Will you go stock black? Or match the body blue? Or go a nice refined cream? It would be your choice. I believe I have priced the car accordingly. This is one stupidly cheap low K 2008 Model Roadster,"



    Price is now $31,000 ono to the man on the street. $30,000 ono to a true zedder.



    I will tell the zed forums ONLY, I was offered only $25,00 trade in due to them saying it would cost $5K to replace the roof. It wont! I have a firm quote from a trimmer for under $3K and I would rather see this car go to the hands of a zedder at a bargain price than see this traded in for stupid money.

    This sale is currently on hold as the CSC just failed.


    Will be having this fixed before sale resumes.


    ...they know you know. Cars I mean....they know when you're trying to sell them....and they get angry.

    Well.......

    This car will now sit in my garage for a couple of months as I have no funds to fix right now. Keeping the family car running is top priority.

    So unless someone wants to take it off my hands for $27K as is, it will wait till I can figure out what to throw at it. And if I end up doing the whole clutch system...I'm taking it off the market and keeping it.

    So there you have it really I think.....either someone steals this off me for $27K or I'm keeping it.

    THanks for sharing the rally video on this car. It was a great watch. I can see you've had lots of fun in it.

    Sure have. There's a thread about the rally in track talk I think.

    Totally recommended.

    Pics here

    Sorry it's taken so long but pics are up. Sorry about quality but car is stuck in my garage at the mo due to CSC failure.

    As said before but I'll say again here, the CSC has failed on me at the worst time, BUT at least it didn't fail straight after sale or the next owner would think I'd pulled a fast one.

    If someone wants to take the car AS IS, then it's yours for $27,000.

    It'll cost you ~$1K to do the CSC or ~2-3K to do the clutch and CSC together which would be the wiser option.

    That's still an awesome clean running 2008 350Z with less than 40,000K's on the clock.

    IF it doesn't sell as is, I'll be popping in a HD Clutch with better CSC and then either putting the price back up to ~30-32K or I'll just keep it.

    Hey, have you got the stock exhaust? If I where you I would put it back on IMO, it might help.... Just a thought

    Mitch Has one gear: GO

    Is it normal to do the 50,000km service at 35,000km?
    What makes the hr model better than other models?
     
  19. ugame

    ugame user #1

    Yes as with any well looked after car, services are done on K's OR time (months).

    This car has much lower than average K's for the year.

    The HR model has the 7.5K rpm redline, and twin intake from factory as well as several other upgrades from the DE or the "rev up" models, resulting in higher HP at the fly and wheels from earlier models.

    The clutch system actually shares several parts with the 370Z also.

    Everyone who hears the Buddy Club in person loves it.

    Dont think camera mics ever do an exhaust note justice.

    But yeah, some might assume it's too loud but like anything it's down to how you drive it. I can make my car silent, or I can punch it and make small children cry.

    From the OP:
    "The exhaust is SEX to my ears. Also have the stock Y back if it is too much sex for yours."

    Of course anyone that knows 350/370 zeds knows that the stock systems sound crap, near silent with no sense of excitement, and are heavy crap.

    Also the fact that the buddy club is a single pipe may confuse some people. The fact is that the stock system is ALSO a single pipe. It's duel out of the engine, through dual cats, then into a Y (which is higher flowing on the HR also).

    From the Y it's a single pipe system all the way back to the sideways muffler, which THEN has 2 90degree pea shooters sticking out to make it LOOK like a dual exhaust system.

    Call me picky but I'd suspect that the tear in the roof, and a failed CSC may be holding the sale up more than personal tastes in exhaust note ;) but yes, the stock system is available.
