'03 Daytona Blue Track MT - Nismo/Volk/Stoptech - 93K miles - Temecula, CA
Happy Holidays My350Z,
It's taken me many years to get here, but it's time to part with my Z. I purchased this car back in April 2006 as the 3rd owner. The car has treated me to a fantastic 9+ years and I look forward to sharing those memories with the new owner. The car has been garaged during my entire ownership period and hasn't been daily driven since April '08.

I've been a reasonably active member, so if you have any questions please ask, I will answer any questions. I will list the modifications below along a few details.
This is my old album - https://my350z.com/g/album/2544016 and below are more recent photos.
Exterior/Engine
Shine Nismo V2 FRP Replica
Nismo USDM Side Skirts
Nismo USDM Rear Valences
Nismo Carbon Fiber Pillar Covers
Nismo S-Tune cat-back exhaust
'07 Bi-Xenon - Custom painted gunmetal
Daytona Blue painted engine cover
Z-speed Underbody aluminum engine tray
Aluminum oil catch can - believe it came from the Vette world
Wheels/Stoppers/Suspension
Volk TE-37 19x9.5/10.5 +12 F/R - custom Mag Blue (hint more purple)
Front Tires - Hankook Ventus Evo V12 255/35/19 - 50% life left
Rear Tires - Bridgestone Potenza RE760 275/35/19 - 90% life left
Stoptech 6-piston front big brake kit - rear OEM Brembo painted to match
Hotchkis performance lowering springs
Tokico D-Spec struts/shocks
SPC adjustable front A-arms
SPC rear camber arms + bolt
White-line urethane bushings in both front control arm locations
SPL front compression rod bushings
Interior/Audio
Custom leather seats with "Z" embroidery
Customer painted center dash stack - silver that matches door handles
Custom leather shift boot with blue stitch
RSW carbon fiber window switch overlays
Pioneer Avic D-3
JL Audio 6.5 front component speakers (I honestly forget the model)
Wicked C.A.S. front door pods
I had a sub in the car that has since come out, but most of the interior (doors, hatch, rear compartment were all sound dampened)
Nismo floormats
Condition
For a car that is 13+ years old she's in great shape. I have regular maintenance records up until about '10 and at that point I started performing everything myself. There is some expected trim wear on the windshield.
Belts were changed at 60K, plugs/transmission/differential fluids done at 90k.
Paint - I pride myself on keeping a swirl free paint and I've included some photos towards the end to show that. Amateur detailer so the paint is about as good as you can expect given the age. Shines beautifully with no clear coat issues at all. The hood/mirrors/headlights were clear bra'd when I had the bumper painted back in '08 or so. The hood wasn't re-sprayed so there are some chips here and there under the clear bra. There is 1 ding on the car, drivers side rear quarter panel on the fender line. This was there when I got the car and couldn't be removed. It's about 1/2 big. No big scratches in the paint, you won't find better paint on a car this old.
Front bumper - hit a tire tread last year on the freeway that did a decent number. The bumper is clear bra'd so I guess the damage could have been worse. The bottom of the lip is cracked good (hence the painters tape) and there is some spidering in the paint on the left and right sides. Personal opinion...perfect condition for daily use unless you want to show the car or need perfection
Throw out bearing - this guy is on it's way out, at least I assume so based on the squealing upon cold start after the car has been sitting for awhile. Original clutch which still grabs fine. It goes away if I drive the car routinely.

It's related to the throw out bearing. Since the car doesn't get daily driven the TOB will make some noise on cold start, goes away quickly after. On the occasions when I drive the car multiple days in a row the noise goes away on cold start. It will be a maintenance item that should most likely be replaced whenever a new clutch is put in. The clutch itself is fine.

I had that problem awhilr back. Searched the forum and i was told to spray something into the tranny boot. Forgot what it was at the top of my head, anyways, been a year and no squeak or issues. Just an fyi.
Very clean car! If i wasnt looking at g35s, id take this for a daily anyday!
