2003 350Z Enthusiast 6-spd Brickyard Red

[Cscat87]

Well I'm throwing my Z up for sale just because I am downsizing and don't want to keep as many cars here anymore. I have this and my BMW up for sale, so whatever sells first is what will go and the other will stay as my weekend car.

This is an 03 350Z Enthusiast 6-speed, and I have 43k miles on it. It has all the typical Enthusiast features such as LSD, traction control, cruise control, Xenon headlights, yada yada. I never have time to the drive the car (as many of you know), so the mileage probably won't change too much before it sells. This is another reason why I have been toying around with the idea of selling it unfortunately.

I am the 2nd owner, I've had the car for years and maintained it perfectly. Nobody else has ever driven it, it has never seen a track, any race, or any drifting of any kind; and it has never had a problem. Oil changes every 3k religiously with Mobil 1 and K&N filters only. This car has never seen a winter, I've always had a daily driver so the Z stays in my garage for the cold months.

No expense has ever been spared to maintain this car!! If you know me, you know that this car gets treated better than my girlfriend. Here is a list of my mods.

Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
'06 Airbox w/ K&N drop-in
TurboXS catback (discontinued and HIGHLY sought after)
Redline Transmission & Differential fluid

Suspension Modifications:
RS*R Sports*Intelligence Coilovers (one of the only sets in the US)
Hotchkis sway bars
Ichiba rear camber arms & toe bolts

Wheels/Tires Modifications:
Stoptech/Nismo Stage-2 Brake Kit w/ R-Tune pads
18" Nismo LMGT4 wheels (8.5" front, 9.5" rear)
Toyo Proxes T1R's (245/40 front, 275/40 rear)
Project Kics R40 Composite lug nuts

Interior/Exterior Modifications:
OEM '08 complete bumper conversion (see below)
JDM Nismo clear reflectors (REAL ones, no ebay brand)
RDX Antenna
20% tint by Pro-Tinting (no fading, cracking, peeling, etc)
Evo-R Titanium shift knob with aluminum base collar

The price for ALL of this is $16,000. So lowball offers won't even get a response. I have a couple options if you want the car for less, which makes this one of the lowest priced 350Z's in the country for its mileage.

Option 1: Don't want the wheels? Bring a set of 5x114.3 wheels with you and I'll take $1,000 off the price. I can sell them separately for 1500-1800 with tires so I have no problem keeping them.

Option 2: Don't want the coilovers? Bring a set of springs/shocks with you and I'll take $700 off the price of the car. I can sell them separately for $1500 quick so I have no problem keeping them either, and they are only a few months old. I have access to a shop with lift and all tools so I can swap them out in 20 minutes with you present.

If you do not want to go through the trouble of finding wheels and/or suspension to bring, I can source and a good set and have it installed ahead of time ONLY with a non-refundable deposit. Title is in hand

Those are the only two things that I don't have the stock parts of, I have every other stock piece, and will include with the car. If you really want it and we are just a few hundred bucks away from making a deal, then I can take off some other things, but the coilovers and and wheels are the two main rare, big $$ parts.

The brake kit is a package that I got from MyNismo.com that includes slotted rotors, Nismo R-Tune pads, Stoptech stainless braided lines, and Motul Dot-4 fluid. Link:

The 2008 bumper conversion was done last August, as there were a few dings and scratches on the car and I wanted to make it perfect. I basically brought the car to my Nissan dealer and told to do whatever they had to, to get the job done. They replaced the Front bumper, rear bumper, all underbody plastics, fender liners, lower engine cover, everything. This set me back over $2,000 and I scanned the invoice below. This was not just a haggard job of buying a bumper and slapping it on, there is much more involved as you can see to get it to fit properly and mount up with no gaps. If this color wasn't rare enough, this is the ONLY Brickyard with an OEM '08 bumper conversion.

The only imperfections right now are 2 door dings that are super tiny, and 1 spot about a half inch long that got nicked and paint chipped off on the driver's side fender. There is no dent, and I had it touched up by a shop so you can't see it unless you are looking. It is not a big deal at all, but an imperfection none the less.

The brakes still have tons of life left since the car isn't daily driven or tracked. The front tires still have tons of life left, but the rears maybe have a year left in them, mainly because the inside is more worn due to my camber settings. Also the fenders have been professionally rolled, no paint is chipping. So you can run whatever wheels/offsets you want on this car.

Basically, if you want a great deal on a car that has been properly set up, not beat on, and looks perfect; this has your name written all over it. Don't waste your time on these sketchy cars that have been popping up lately with pieced-together turbo kits and such, you really have no idea how well it was built, tuned, maintained, treated, etc. The thing could be 2 pulls away from shooting smoke for all you know. Buy something that you KNOW is going to last the next 10 years without any problems, and hasn't been disassembled by some 18 year old who thinks its cool to leave bolts out for weight reduction.

Car is located in Williamsport, PA but can be brought to North Jersey if known in advance. Has a valid NJ inspection until 2011. Enough talk, more pics.

Yup, the famous license plate. Frame is included if taken with the LMs so you can show up everybody with replicas ;)

Well I have been doing some research on your car cause I am quite interested in it but

I am thinking 16k might be a bit high?

I KBB it in excellent condition and the number came out to 13,500
Yes you have mods but the mods never increase in value as I am sure you know.

The Coilovers are 1600 new

Wheels are roughly 2600 new according to the quote I got from my buddy at hopupracing.com.

The exhaust new RAN for around 1100

The brakes are kinda a 50/50 in my opinion because yes you bought a "upgrade" but brakes are maintenance none the less.

The suspension components help alot but not exactly expensive parts.
And the conversion to a 08 front I wouldn't really consider aftermarket or and upgrade.

Those up came to around 17K but none the less cars are what they are and they are depreciating assets.

Please PM me if you are willing to negotiate on a price
Thank You.

Like I said fellas, I am not the slightest bit opposed to selling the car without the wheels, coilovers, or anything else. I have a shop with a lift and can swap out anything in minutes.

16k for a stock 03 I would say is definitely not a good deal, but if you can find me one cheaper with a set of high end coilovers and wheels than I will eat my words. The price without those parts is one of the cheapest I have seen on the market period. I was never including things like the new front end or brakes in with the price, that is only what separates it from others in its price range.

1st bump. A "potential buyer" is trying to get financed, but was turned down by one bank already so I'm not holding my breath. First to show the green gets the ride. Its summer, and time to be the envy of all your friends who drive 240s ;)

Sweet ride, glws! For the record though I did an 06 front on my 03 Brickyard enthusiast as well, I hoped I was the only one on the east coast.

Oh yea? Nice! We should get together sometime, would be cool to see. If my BMW sells first than I'll be keeping the Z for sure, and going to events and shows around the area more often. Having two "fun cars" has just been very impractical since my schedule barely allows time to drive one. I find myself forcing to take the Z around the block every few weeks just so its not sitting. The Bimmer costs significantly more to maintain, so I am hoping it gets picked up first.

These people are rediculos. Its an absolutely mint 03 350z. You can find a 03 for 10k Yes, But with what 140k owned by some ass?

This car has TASTEFUL mods. Not some ghetto rigged bullshit.

Car is well worth the 16k.

Looking for a 350 myself but only have 11k. Good luck with sale.
CAR IS WELL WORTH IT.

[tahms350z]

Do you use a front license plate bracket? In NH you need one, I went with the Stillen tow hook bracket so I didn't need to screw the plate on, and it just screws off for shows and cleaning.

Thanks for the kind words. Funny you mention that, I actually know somebody selling their Z for 10,500 with 154k miles. Silver on grey touring model. I definitely wouldn't buy it though, the kid took so much stuff apart and taught himself how to put it back together, haha. It also grinds 2nd and 3rd gear like most 03s, mine was a rare exception with no trans issues.

Good luck in your search, if you end up getting a little bit more you can have mine without some of the more expensive parts ;)

No front plate for me. The car is registered in NJ where you need one, but I keep it at my place in PA where you don't.

Ok, so 3 people were serious about the car, 2 of them wanting to fly in from the other side of the country to pick it up; and all 3 got denied loans! Any cash buyers looking to pick up a sweet Z for the summer?

This is my 2nd thread bump, so its now up to my fellow Zilvians to keep it alive.
