Yes, they are touring wheels, but they have been chromed. Looks like ****.

Car looks clean for that many miles. 350z's are a dime a dozen in Cali versus up here in NY.

I asked the seller if the clutch has been replaced before and he said he believes it may have been from the previous owner. He said he will try to find the documentation if the clutch has been replaced or not.

He also purchased the car in 08 with 63k miles on it.

What do you guys think? Should I go check it out if the clutch has in fact been replaced.

why are you all caught up on if the clutch replaced? even if it was it could have still been beat to hell. they aren't that hard to swap out honestly

Is it even worth checking out?

I can replace the clutch myself but I don't have a lift so it would be difficult to do.

you don't need a lift, just big jack stands and a friend

"But what about the clutch?!" lol

It's like harping "are the tires full?!" Drive it. Check for slip. You'll tell right away if there is a problem.

I checked out the 03 350z with the chrome rims and everything looks good. The only thing that I noticed wrong with it was that the top corner of the hood is not aligned with the fender on the driver side, the passenger is fine.

He said that it's been in a small accident before and had the bumper and the hood replaced before so that could be why. The car title is still considered clean though.

Also, the clutch seems to engage a little bit before the halfway mark. I also noticed that the clutch feels heavier than the stock ones that I've driven. So I suspect that he has an aftermarket clutch installed.

I have attached a picture of where the mis-alignment is on the hood. It's not a huge difference but it's just something that I noticed.

The guy also had a lot of paperwork on the car's history and is the 3rd owner, he bought the car with 63k miles on it and now has almost 116k. The car is really clean inside and out.

Thanks
