rabster Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Ok so as you all know i sold much loved lexus in favour of a new challenge, i had only been hunting for about 3- 4weeks and kept coming back to the same car the baby is a 2005 (05 plate) limited edition Nissan 350Z GT4 number 112/176 The car has covered 34,500 miles and has full service history. During the winter the car has been sorn and stored away. The GT4 model was a limited run of 176 cars (100 in kuro black and 76 in ultra yellow). It has the more powerful rev up engine and also limited edition GT4 18†alloy wheels. It has the GT pack which includes full leather interior, heated electric seats, upgraded Bose stereo and cruise control. The car is Immaculate both inside and out. It has received a full detail by hand every 3 months and is washed and waxed on a weekly basis using high quality products. The alloys are in brand new condition having been replaced by Nissan in 2010 under warranty due to some slight corrosion. The new alloys have been waxed and sealed to prevent this from occurring again. The car runs on Falken 452 tyres all round, the rears were replaced in 2010 In terms of modifications, The car has a Nismo aero kit which was professionally fitted. The aero kit consists of a Nismo V2 front bumper with carbon lip, Nismo side skirts and rear spats and a carbon Nismo rear spoiler. Also fitted is a Mastergrade carbon roof carbon Nismo B-pillars, carbon wing mirror covers, MYO6 LED rear lights, JWT cold air intake, plenum spacer Ferodo DS2500 brake pads. Eibach wheel spacers all round Lowered on Eibach pro lowering springs Also fitted to the car is the much rare and sought after Nismo exhaust system. This is a full, 3 piece stainless cat back system which sounds absolutely stunning. so without further adoo here she is Stay Tuned for future work.......
