I have an 05 350z and love it but I always like to browse around for parts and such and I've run across this 350z for weeks now and it looks amazing but I don't think it has sold for some reason and I can't figure out why. Is the asking price for this build a good deal?

Cars that heavily modded can have lots of issues, which I'm sure many here will tell you. And, who really needs a blown car on O'ahu?

I would says it's decent. I would get rid of the crank pulley(if he installed an aluminum one for stock or fluidampr) and raise it up a bit.

It looks well put together for a modded z.

I would definitely look into it. On the surface it looks legit but the devil is in the details...have the car professionally inspected locally. It'd make me nervous that the seller posted a picture of the engine running with the check engine light on.

Looks like he will take an offer so skim off a few thousand dollars and justify the deduction for rebuilding the turbos($1000), BOV($50), waste gates($200) and a tune($700) when you drop those 700cc injectors in, $200 for a 3rd party mechanic inspection and maybe $500 to swap the tranny fluid, oil, coolant, ps fluid etc.

If you want to go one step further take a few ounces of oil out of the engine (will have to get creative) and possibly a few ounces out of the transmission and have it sent off to Blackstone Labs or similar lab and have them analysis the oil/fluid for abnormalities.

big picture...the biggest risk in life is not taking one...
