I'm pretty serious about the car, just worried about normal wear items. Such as bearings, suspension and such. I have good friends that live in cape coral near ft myers. Ill keep checking the thread.

I understand. The suspension is actually Tokico HP Blue Shocks paired with Tanabe GF210s. The shocks are fine to my knowledge. The GF's ride like stock in many ways- not harsh at all. However, you do get more road feedback and it LOVES cornering now (even moreso than before, that is).
The bushings should probably be replaced or at the least inspected. The car is 95% highway miles. I'm actually still on my first clutch and second set of brakes during the lifetime of the car if you can believe it- that's kind of a testament to how much this thing has been driven in a straight line. Haven't tracked it or anything, but obviously I've engaged in some spirited driving.
I'm really happy with how the car has treated me, other than the debacle with the engine. The issues with that were really more with the dealer continually giving me the runaround rather than with the car itself. Once I went to a new dealer everything was great.
Sorry for the overly verbose reply, but I'd really like to see the car go to someone who can appreciate it. I love this car and really hate to see it go, but there's a 370 on the horizon calling my name

You got it. Again, just let me know if you need info, pictures, etc. I'll be more than happy to go into detail (probably better over PM, IM, or email) about maintenance, parts, repairs, etc.
To everyone else: thanks so far for the interest! Please don't hesitate to ask questions. Will furnish pics and give as much information as I can to help you decide.

Please E-mail pictures of the exterior, interior, and engine bay.
Any accidents or repainted? Did you buy the car new or used?

Bassani is a well built exhaust and if you're local to the seller I'd suggest picking this up. Looks like an excellent deal to me. It would 100% fit and I believe Bassani shows the best HP gains for the HR motors.

The sound has only gotten better with age, imo. It sounds just like a bassani with stock cats- check youtube (just search for bassani 350z). No drone at highway speeds unless you're at 2k rpm and floor it in 6th (which you shouldn't be doing anyway).
Interior wise it's nearly silent unless you're on it, then it opens up. I didn't feel any power gains- you would need a proper tune to see any real gain from breathing mods on a rev-up.
It fits any year Z.
The exhaust is stainless, but the mufflers need a good polish on the bottom. Please see the pics in the first post to understand how this exhaust mounts up "under" the bumper as opposed to being more visual to people viewing the car from the rear. There are a couple of dents on the underside from road debris.
Again, you can't see any of this without getting under the car.
Please understand- this exhaust has been on the car for nearly 80k highway miles. It's not going to be perfect. If you are building a show car this is not going to work out. If you need a great sounding exhaust that looks fine unless you're changing out camber arms, then this is for you.

To those that are looking for shipping quotes, I'll try to get them this weekend but it may be a bit, as I have several local people who are interested as well. I'll do my best to keep everyone updated.
