Car Sold!
Hey everyone, I am getting married in a few months and I have committed to reducing the current car count at the house. So the Z and SUV are going for sale in favor of a single, larger sports car (probably GT-R).
A few things right off the bat: (1) I will not be parting the car out; (2) I will not entertain lowball offers at all - I would rather just trade the car in; (3) really, I am not parting out so please don't ask.
OK, now I will do my best to list all of the work I have put into this car below:
Factory Specs:- 2012 Gun Metallic Touring with Sport Package
- Black Interior

- Wheels in perfect condition
- Tires have 2000 miles
Sale Price- Bluebook values are from $28K-$31K (Good-Great)
- Cost of mods: >$30K
- Sale Price: $40K
- Trade Value: I would consider trading for a late model (MY14-15) Z in excellent condition plus cash. This would only be so I could turn around and trade-in at a slightly better value. I believe trading value for value would mean no sales tax, but I need to look into it further.
- For those seriously interested, please PM me for my email / phone number. I will provide VIN and whatever else you may need through those channels.
Q&A
Q: Did you modify the suspension other than springs?
A: I believe I got different toe bolts, but I honestly cannot remember. I know that I got the car aligned after the springs and everything is in spec.
Q: What tires on on the wheels?
A: Tires are Potenza S0001 in 245/40 R19 98Y (front) and 285/35 R19 99Y (rear). The wheels are also spaced I believe 15mm to bring the tires flush with the fenders.
Q: What pads and rotors are on the car?
I am not totally sure which pads and rotors. I had Fontana's race shop install what they recommended for canyon carving / light track work. I also had stainless steel lines and upgraded fluid installed during the brake upgrade.
Q: Is anything broken / not work right / quirky about the car?
A: (1) Because the car is turbocharged, it lost its windshield washer reservoir. The wiring and hoses are still there such that an aftermarket bottle could be installed, but I have not gotten around to it. (2) Occasionally the Innovate Wideband gauge freaks out and gives bad readings. Apparently the new digital gauges are a bit finicky. Innovate suggested wiring straight to battery with a relay, but I have not done that because the problem is only intermittent. (3) The return fuel system combined with Nissan's fuel level measurement system can cause the fuel level gauge to be very sensitive (i.e. read lower than actual fuel level) when the fuel level is low (<1/4 tank) and the car is going around hard turns.
