dave079,

I was not aware that my grammar/spelling/writing style was monitored with the possibility of negative opinion posted by the moderator.

I will clean it up!

As a moderator you have done a fine job.

Due to your comment; I will abide by the common practice of professionalism in a manner that displays correct spelling and correct sentence structure and phrasing to the best of my ability.

Thank you very much o6black350z!

That is what I am looking for in this forum.

BTW.

My grammer was pretty bad.

I should have stopped everything I was doing and paid more attention especially new to a forum.

My apologies to all.

Cheers!

Ken Slater

I think it sounds like a good deal @ 29K!

Good luck,

I'm REALLY wanting to see where this goes. And I don't hope it will stay clean.

That car is horrible. A Boeing wing on the back, cheap rims, painted calipers, cheap electronics which don't look installed very well and those totally original lambo doors.

I like the TT part, but other than that, I find 29K a laughable price. Sorry.

Wow... all that money spent on the car and BLAM... Jensen headunit.



Nice tach in the airbag department. That's completely necessary, right? Same with the TVs.

At least the wing is large enough so you can have a picnic on it while watching the numerous screens.

No problem. Thank you!
This is the type of information I am looking to collect from the members of this great site!
Very good!
I am taking notes of these observations that all seem to have merit.

Thanks again!
Ken

Yea, the TVs. I really don't don't get that. It would be great in my den.

Yet I have seen this at many car shows.

The spoiler she talked as a big deal since it is made out of a special material.
Carbon Fiber.

Thank you for your observation.

This is very helpful!

Thanks again


Ken

Short double-spaced sentences are spooky.

That tach is ridiculous. why would anyone rip out the airbag and install a tach... when there is a perfectly fine factory tach right in plain view in the cluster? my thoughts...... airbag was blown and the tach route was easier than sourcing a new airbag??? Salvage title maybe????

The only thing I like about this car is the TT, other than that I feel pity that it is actually a Z. Take out the unnecessary tv screens and tell her to put them in her house. And the Lambo doors are LAME! IMO ....

Default Talked to Dr. Susan about this 350Z 10 mins ago.

I called Susan, the owner, and ask her how and why she ended up with this car. I also discussed the comments I was recieving from the forum members.

First I will say she is absolutely clueless.
What happened in a nut shell:

She went to a Memphis ,Tennesse Porsche dealership. (She believed she wanted a Porsche because one of her freinds had one and she took a ride with that friend and thought "I have to have one")

After driving one the salesman pointed out this Nissan 350z and ask her if she would like to test drive it also. She did of coarse.

She said she liked the power and handling and looks better than the Porsche and bought it in the spot.

I know that most of the members here have there heart and soul into there 350zs and I understand that.
I have received some critical comments that have given me an idea on how to go about selling this great running machine. It seems that is all it is, a modified fast car. Everything else is kinda worthless.

What kind of person would build a car like this has been built?

It seems a bit too pimped out to me. But someone might like it that way.

I look foward to your thoughts.

Thank you for your time.

I've never seen such a turn around in posting. Nice job.

I think all your doing is collecting information here to help your friend sell her locally; correct?

No sir.
I am going to post this on e-bay and also get the word out in Memphis raceway. She will allow me to drive the Nissan over there.
She does not have time,(she says).
I have sold cars on e-bay in the past. They were usually 60s model Fords, Dodge ect.
I am a bit lost with this Nissan.
I am also collecting a nice fee if I can sell it for her.
She did make me a nice offer to sell it. FYI. 10%

I understand your question and why.
I want to learn about the Nissan, Honda and Toyota.

I have purchased a Accura Legend for my Daughter. My first foreign car build.

Sorry to ramble on.

Have a great day.

Ken Slater

It looks like a lot of people think this guy is a scammer, but yet no one has seemed to do any homework on him. I figured I would go against the grain and educate myself before I passed judgement on him. He uses the same name, ID, cell phone number, town, age, grammer, etc on his ForABodiesOnly.com forum and been over there for almost 3 years. Sounds pretty shady to me!

Check out one of their posts. Seems like a stand up guy. And I don't say that because he used to buy a lot of parts from me..... I wish we had posts like this instead of "I got scammed" ones.

looks and sounds like a scam, scammers always have a shady way of how they write like the short double spaced sentences and also scammer always have a signature at the bottom of their posts, just like this guy. Im not saying hes a scammer but just pointing out my observations

Take out/off all the extraneous garbage like TV's, xbox, wing, steering tach, etc and you'd have a sweet TT Z. As for now it's pretty horrible and I don't know who in their right mind would pay $29k for something like that.
