SparkleCityHop's 2003 Nissan 350Z Chrome Silver 109k mi - $8300 (price dropped)
Price Drop $8300 - 2003 Nissan 350Z manual touring edition - Chrome silver, black leather interior - 109k miles
Motivated seller - LOCAL SALE ONLY - Posted on Craigslist, Facebook, & parked on rented space on major highway with price posted
VIN: JN1AZ34D93T100841
The car is in fair to good condition. KBB.com puts fair condition value at $8400 and good at $9200. The graphics are high quality vinyl professionally installed by Redline Design in Tampa, FL. I still have the OEM hood, OEM intake, and OEM muffler as these items were upgraded and let in place for the sale. If you would prefer, we can swap the back out to stock configurations. The car also has an upgraded computer running Uprev Tuner version, with multiple custom tuned maps that can be switched "on the fly" from the cruise control buttons for performance, economy, and other adjustments like throttle sensitivity, etc. I do not have a current dyno with the most recent tuning changes, but it is enough of an improvement over stock to not just see it on my dyno charts, but feel the difference in driving. I can provide my most recent dyno charts if you like. I returned the suspension and other components to stock from the SPL and Stance equipment that was on it during event use, so none of the current OEM suspension components were put to track use. Everything in the engine, drivetrain, suspension, etc. runs and works well. The front left hub bearings make noise at times, but when checked by a mechanic does not show signs of failure. If this front hub is a concern, I have a spare replacement hub in hand and can replace it, but I didn't want to fix something that wasn't broken yet. There is a problem with the driver door handle on the outside not opening the door - I plan to look at that this weekend. I've fixed this same problem on a friend's Z before and it was not complicated, but I won't know for sure until I take it apart. This is why I have the car priced where it is right now - because that one item is broken.
As for the interior, the ashtray insert is missing, and I removed part of the tint on the driver side window to see better through the side mirror. I didn't really care because it was a dedicated track/event car, but these are both easy and inexpensive to repair/replace. I can point you to the right people if it is something important to you. The stock radio has been replaced with a full av entertainment system - custom mounted dvd screen in the optional navigation location, xm/cd/mp3 control unit in stock radio location, dvd changer in storage area behind passenger seat, amp rack and crossovers in storage area behind driver seat, upgraded speakers all around, and custom underbar sub box . Storage deck behind seats and trunk area under hatch are still completely usable and I had adequate room for groceries or a mountain bike, etc without having to remove any stereo equipment.
The car has only been used for normal driving, auto cross events at low speeds, hill climbs on official highways/roads, and high performance driver's education at certified road track courses. It has never been drifted, drag raced, or abused. I purchased this car early in 2012 from a fellow Z car enthusiast and friend and can provide his contact information if you'd like a longer history. The car was purchased as a dedicated vehicle for track events, car events, and marketing for a car enthusiast website that I ran. I only put 7k miles on the vehicle during that time, and it has been maintained by CIN Motorsports in Charlotte, NC (other than small things like fluid changes that I managed quarterly with Mobil1 synthetic oil and other premium fluids as recommended by Nissan).
I am an active Z car enthusiast and participate in multiple Z car clubs in SC, NC, and FL. I have also assisted as a volunteer for the past 5 years in the annual ZDayz.com event in Fontana Dam, NC and have participated and attended ZNationals in Carrolton, GA and many other Z and sports car events. I am a moderator on my350z.com, and I can provide a long list of fellow Z enthusiasts, Z performance shops, HPDE driving instructors, etc that know me and my car personally and could answer any questions as to my character or care for my vehicle. I am selling the vehicle purely for financial reasons, and not because anything is wrong with the car. I recently closed diytuner.com and shifted my focus towards spending time with my family and missions/ministry work, so the money will go to better use of it is not tied up in a vehicle sitting in the garage.
Now, I'm going to tell you a little about her next owner. Since this car is very quick - and rear wheel drive, she demands respect and responsibility. I will not judge based on age, but I can tell you that if you show up with your 16 year old child that acts like Justin Bieber and "can't wait to try some sick drifts through the neighborhood" you won't be able to buy the car for twice the amount that I am asking. However, if a mature 17 year old that has been working his own job to save up for this car, has a clean driver's record, and has already participated in some driver training or track events - I'll probably throw in my 6 point roll cage, harnesses, and an imported rear diffuser that is one of 3 in the United States. My point is, the car can be VERY dangerous in the wrong hands, so please make me a fair and reasonable offer, and please buy responsibly.

I'm focusing on several ministries right now. I'm called to reach out those those that have fallen in the ditch - "the least and the lost".
So, I'll be doing everything that I can to help my brothers and sisters that are lost. I'm not led to start a church or be seen, I'm to do my work in private - one on one with the lost.
I'm meant to help the downtrodden man begging on the street corner, the alcoholic in the bar, the money loving drug dealer selling his friends deeper into addiction, the unfaithful married man with lust in his eyes, the criminal in prison, the man that finds money/toys/clubbing/sex/drugs/alcohol/sin as the source of pleasure in their lives - these are my people. I have personal testimony for each of them from my own life because I was them before I found my salvation, my calling, and true happiness and contentment. All of those things that I used to love, would only satisfy me for a while, and they would satisfy me less each time. I realized that they are just a temptation and a trick that is put out there to mislead us from finding true happiness and pleasure that doesn't go away.
I should swap the ages so that it will illustrate my point better.
Awesome, man! We should get together and have a cigar and a mason jar sometime!
For those that wrestle with how I can say this after the earlier "Christian talk" - let me preach for a second -
I'm not addicted to tobacco or alcohol, so there is no issue with enjoying these things in moderation. However, if you are addicted to something and it gets in the way of your living a life that you will be proud of when you look back on it, you should run from it and avoid it. My greatest temptation in the past that was truly destructive in my life was hot, slutty women. So now, I know that I need to avoid this temptation the same as an alcoholic would need to avoid the bar.
Each of us has our own demons that we wrestle with. Once we are truly saved and are born again through accepting Christ's salvation into our lives, and accept the Holy Spirit into our lives, we will receive guidance through prayer and reading His holy inspired word (the Bible), and we will want to listen, obey, and serve God, because we realize what was missing in our lives and how wonderful it is to fellowship with the Lord. We will want others to have the blinders lifted from their eyes so that they can also experience the truth.
To maintain that relationship with God, Christians need to follow the actual teachings of the Bible. We can only learn that through prayer and time in the Bible, because we cannot trust what some religious nut on TV tells us that we should or shouldn't do - there are many false teachers out there that think they are doing God's work, but are misleading people with things that the Bible doesn't say. If you read the whole Bible, and understand that it is not a dead rulebook of words written on pieces of paper - it is the living word of God shared as a combination of historical records, letters written between Christians, etc. Even a child can learn from the Bible, because it has "milk for the young" that is easy to digest and to help lead them to Christ's salvation. However, the real nourishment of the Bible is in the bread and the meat that you will start to learn about when you really dig into the word with dedicated prayer and study - these things require a little more effort to chew and digest, but the things that you learn will change your life and will provide you with blessings in your life that will last forever - not just for your body's lifetime, but they will nourish your soul even after death.
Think about this -
1) if you believe that your soul will exist after your body dies
2) if you believe that food, sex, drugs, alcohol, etc are only nourishing and pleasing to your body's needs
3) if you believe that when consumed in excess, too much food, sex, drugs, alcohol, etc end up being poison for your body
3) if you have experienced the joy of giving, the joy of praise and worship, and other things in your life that you knew were "nourishing to your heart/soul"
Are you feeding your body more than you are feeding your soul?
Are you allowing yourself to become addicted to things that please your body?
Are you saving up enough nourishment for your soul that will last you forever once your body is dead?
Or will you find your soul empty, with no nourishment, and burning in the pit of worldly addiction(Hell) because you taught yourself to long for the things that only pleased your body while you were alive?
