Default 2008 Enthusiast, MT, 70k mi, San Marino Blue, Boston MA

2008 San Marino Blue Enthusiast
VIN: JN1BZ34D88M705200

70,000 Miles, occasionally adding a few more. Single owner, purchased new in May 2008.

Contact: nate.p.holmes@gmail.com is preferred, forum PM will be replied but may take some time.

$13,500
Includes all mods listed below
Includes all original parts listed below
Consumables (tires, brakes, battery, etc) are all recent. No hidden costs.

I have a trade in offer I'm happy with, but I am not picking up my new car until the end of April so I thought I would make it available as-is before parting it out to trade. I am posting because the car has a very well sorted set of mods and the tune is a gem, shame to break it up when I trade it.

The car is available until April 22nd, at which point all mods will be removed and the car will be traded in to a dealer. I am not interested in parting the vehicle at this time, if the vehicle does not sell by April 22nd (I realize it's a Z for sale in the winter), parts will be available at that time.

Selling because we just had a child and I need a backseat, plus I finally completed my 240z last year so I have the summer fun covered. The car has been great to me, not a single issue worthy of a dealer visit.

The car has a very cohesive set of mods that represent pretty much the ideal reliable, no fuss bolt-on 350z (in my opinion I suppose). The tune was done by Dent Sport garage in Norwood MA before they closed and the throttle response is extremely impressive. The car made 301whp on their dyno (see graph below).

The car has MD TDXv2 with MD ARTv2. It is loud.

UpRev Osiris Tune, Tuned by Dent Sport Garage Norwood MA

Stock lugs (370z/350z wheel lugs are different)

Issues / Notes:
Exterior
Clean, but with the normal “northeast” rock chips on the lower front hood area. No rust or anything. I have and will include a bottle of SMB touchup paint that I never tried to use
The passenger rear quarter was professionally resprayed a few years back after someone put a door into me in the grocery store parking lot. Maybe you can tell the difference in the clearcoat if you are looking for it?
Car could use a good buffing but has no paint issues to my knowledge

Interior
Car has a blue LED conversion, which washes out slightly in the daytime. Looks great at night
Normal surface wear on some touch surfaces on the interior, common to basically every 350z
Small ding in the aluminum surround
Rear “mini storage” area doors both don't like to close anymore, not that you can even really seen them behind the seats

*The car does not have cats, it has Motordyne ART pipes. I have been able to pass MA inspection in the past, but haven't bothered recently. If purchased in MA, I will deliver with a current inspection sticker. If outside of MA – the car has no cats, please keep that in mind. Stock cats are included with sale however.*

Pictures

Images (except for name/proof photo) are from the previous summer I believe. Car is currently covered in my driveway as it has lost its garage spot to my 240z. Nothing has happened to the car since the photos posted, expect that it may be a bit dirty. I will take some current photos after the coming snow or as requested.

EDIT: New photos with interior:

Sadly I guess I only need one Z:

If that's the gentleman with the username "Acree" or some such then yes, I followed his guide when doing the LED Mod back in the day.

Actually didn't have an issue with it at all (I had started a thread here a few years back I was concerned about it).

The ARTs have never thrown a CEL and as long as you're only subjected to the standard OBD-II scan it will pass. Reasonably someone could look further into things based on sound / smell, but well tuned there's not much for odor. **This assumes you have an Uprev Tune, I think that may have some hand in the ARTs not throwing a code?

There was something going around years ago about the scan being able to tell that the ECU was modified and such . . . I had no such experience.

I can point you to a place I got it inspected several years in a row if you like, just PM me.

Album with new photos.

http://s1022.photobucket.com/user/tr...?sort=3&page=1

All interior photos are current, took a close picture of anything that was not in like-new condition.

Outside pictures to follow when the sub-zero temps leave and I can clean it up. However there are no outside issues.

Also pictures of minor read quarter repair.

Also pictures of most of the extras that come with sale.
