Well I thought this day would never come but I'm considering selling my 350z.

I bought this car with less than 5K on it and after about 2 mths the mods began. (Damn 350z forum)

Here is the list of mods. I looked up a lot of the parts and it totals well over $58K in parts not including tax, labor ,tuning, and many visits to the shop to have all of this professionally installed.

Please do not ask for part out or to trade etc.. I'm not interested right now. I will not respond to any low ball offers either.

I'm asking $40K. That may sound high for a 2004 and sure you might be able to import one for less from the US but you have risks and costs with that as well. This cost me over $100K to date and almost all parts were bought NEW.

~58K+ in parts
~42K for the new car
~10K + in labor and tunes/dynos over the years

So my logic is aused 2004 ZR with about 40K on it may sell for $18K if you get a decent deal. Mods cut in price by over 60% ~$23K Free labor and its reduced $40k one hell of a deal for 550whp as far as I'm concerned.

Hope it goes to a good home

 

One of the nicer verts I've seen on this forum.

 

great car, with a nice owner, good luck on the sale man. which car you thiking of getting in to?

 

Thanks for the kind words guys. I will probably post on a few other sites and Kijiji by the end of the weekend.

 

wow...what an awesome car...how many km on the built motor?

 

This is a meticulous build. An immaculate car. Nothing has been overlooked. The person who buys this car will have an amazing vehicle.

This is a sad day.

 

Gorgeous car! One of my favorite Z's on this forum.

glws Smasher!

 

mmm. dat motor.

Sad to see you go Dave. Anyone considering a TT build should just sell their car and buy this one. All the best stuff. No corners cut.

 

Thanks 2th for posting that. It was such a great feeling picking up the car that day. I smile everytime I look in my garage and drive this baby. I will miss her a lot!!!...but shes not gone yet and this weekend looks to be pretty nice for a drive somewhere.

 

Glws

 

Wow Dave must be a good reason to sell. I'm surprised.
All of the comments are correct this car is the ultimate ZR.
GLWS it will make someone very happy.

 

It's now posted on Kijiji and I updated the mods list. I actually have over $58K in part upgrades alone and I'm sure I still forgot a few things.

Cleanest Z I've seen, worth every penny and then some!

would love to buy it, swap engines with mine, and have a track monster and sweet roadster. And Im actually thinking about it!

 

damn you. that is a good idea...

 

Good idea till you start to overheat after a couple laps. TT350z are awesome but come with a big disapointment on the track.

 

Seriously, that motor in a 2700lb Z? ughhhhh I'd find a way to keep it cool, I only need 2 hot laps.


Dave I get my bonus in May, please don't still have the car for sale. :P

 

I'm not in a big rush to sell so I could very well still have the car come next spring. I won't move much on the price to much invested and I'm too attached to it.

The car sits at about 3700 lbs so at 2700 WOW is all I can say. Tires will be expensive ha ha. and you better be prepared to hang on.

A few extra parts I have on the car I forgot to add.

Nismo Peddles
Stainless Clutch line

 

A few more things,

Exhaust manifold and hot side of the turbos are ceramic coated. This was about $500 all said and done

Timing chain cover powdercoated
Valve covers painted red by a Body shop no had spray cans
