Default My 8200rpm 350Z...... SOLD......

Hi guys,

I would like to let you guys know this..... I have just sold my 350Z... yes... one of the world's best N/A tuned 350Zs (hope I can say that )... TODAY.... GONE.... to the new owner, also my best friend since high school... DES... he sold his black 35th today and pickedup my car keys this arvo immediately... so this z is no longer mine...

I am kinda sad a bit, but know that Des is a car lover too, so he will take care of it... even more, he will keep it for a long time and is planning to make it as a weekend car only... We shall see what Des is gonna do to continue this N/A story... I am sure he will open eveyone's eyes in the near future too to take it further!!!

I am sure he will come up and say hi to you guys!

And of course... I will still be here as I am a vendor to this website.... so will also stick around.... it will be very hard to miss me though

cheers and will talk to you guys soon again...

cheers,

richie

Glad you're not leaving Richie!. It was great fun seeing your car take shape. Sorry I failed on the ITB's, I really wanted to see what they would have done for your car. What are you planning on getting next??

Any chance you have a list of mods and outcome from the car?
I'm looking at a serious N/A build and it's hard to find many others to get experience from.

Ritchie,
Sad to see you sell something that had so much of your time and effort into it. It is nice to know that a fellow enthusiast and good friend of yours is caring for it now, though. Thanks again for posting all your research and builds on the net. There was a lot of information learned from your builds and posts.
Didn't "Nathan" build a race engine using 100mm bore with Darton sleeves down under? I don't suppose you could coax him into sharing some info on how that went, could you?
Take care,
Will
