It's time to get go of my 350z due to having too many project cars and needing something more practical.
It is a 2003 model that has had 3 owners, it is in fair condition with a few minor issues which I will list shortly.
It has 149000kms and has mainly done highway kms. I drive it 120km a day to/from work and have never had an issue with it. It is a touring model, but has leather and electric seats along with the premium BOSE audio system and cruise control. I have also added the updated 06 door trims which include cup holders.
Extrememly fun car to drive and own, plenty of power economical (I have been getting 650-700km a tank!) and great handiling charactisics.
It has recently had a major service, consisting of engine oil, gearbox oil, and diff oil.
New front brake pads and rotors have also been fitted, aswell as a brake fluid change. It has an air intake kit fitted (standard airbox included), new boot struts and 19 inch wheels too.
It also has 10 months rego and recently passed a blue slip (registered interstate prior).
Ok time for the bad things about the car:
Most importantly, the rear main seal is leaking. I was planning to fix this when I changed the clutch (clutch hasn't been changed since new). Clutch is still good but pedal is pretty high so might need to be changed within 10,000km or so (not slipping or anything yet though).
The paintwork isn't in the best condition, the panels are all straight but the front and rear bumpers have the clear coat peeling off it. It was in a hot climate prior to my ownership so I can only assume that the heat had caused this.
Some more common issues include the BOSE subwoofer amplifier being intermittant. These are an easy fix by wiring in a new relay but I haven't had time to do so. The steering wheel is worn as are the tan leather seats, again I believe due to the weather. The oil pressure gauge is sticky too, it likes to stay at the maximum PSI.
This would be a great car for someone looking for a 350Z as a project car. My plan was to make it something special but I have already commited to another project so I'm looking for a more sensible daily driver.
No swaps, don't lowball me you will be ignored, this is by far the cheapest manual Zed on the market.
Slightly negotable.
If you're genuinely interested send me a SMS. Looking to move this to a new home this weekend.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA

      The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
