Z33 Nissan 350Z

[MCN1SMO]

I loved this car. I could kill myself for selling it, but the seats were worn out with no options for replacement here, and I had impending back surgery.

I had 2 sets of silver LMGTs both 18 and 19 on my 350 and I feel really dumb selling those

I still have my '03 preorder

Redline track and replaced the seats with newer power models. Been working on restoration details this summer and it's looking good after almost two decades.

I miss that car so much. I got it on Christmas Eve 2002 and had to be pried out of it...mods, track days, AX's, cross-country trips, rallyes, Z club events. I was heart-broken when I couldn't drive it anymore. Getting in my new Z was a bit like coming home again, but I'd take a new redline track 350 in a heartbeat.

My Z33 is undergoing a pretty thorough restoration. Here's a preview of the progress.

Absolutely gorgeous. I always loved the gold brembos. I never had the balls to go with that newer style wing. I contemplated so much over it.

Yes, I had the old kit with the 18" LMGT4s, but then decided to get the V2 when it launched.

Bought a 2003 350Z (manual) a few years ago, I believe it was a "Touring" model, it only had 50k miles and I got it from the original owner. It was a fun car, interior was mint, I did a full paint correction on it and refinished the headlights, got a lot of compliments on how clean it was. Unfortunately it had an obnoxiously noisy transmission that sounded like silverware in a disposal. I believe it was the input shaft bearing, but ended up selling the car to pursue a Daytona 675R before I got around to fixing it. Anyway, here she is:

That is indeed a Z33 Touring model in Redline. The paint correction of the paint looks really good. Mind me asking how much a professionally done paint correction job cost?

Thank you, I have a couple before/after videos on my detailing instagram. I spent probably 3 days on the project in total, I did a chemical decontamination on the wheels, clay barred the car, then did a compound and a polish, then finished off with two coats of sealant (instructions called to wait 24 hours between coats, otherwise I probably would have been done in 2 days). I would have charged a client around $1500 for the whole process, I'd say it was about a 90-95% removal of scratches and swirls, the only real flaws left were small rock chips that had gone down to bare metal.
