karlp Thanks vix, looks pretty ordinary really for services just the usual.
So ideally full service and be a 55 plate or under to stop the tax hike.
Hows the tyre wear on these and is there anything I should look for under the hood when purchasing, spotting leaks etc
Definitely look for full service history. Also if your looking at 50k plus look for one with the clutch being changed, most around these mileage are having their clutches go at the moment (slave/master cylinder is a problem with the 350z even the newer models), the thrust bearing is a little noisy but that's standard, if its really loud though its probably on its way out. Another noise is the fuel pump, its a bit whiny but as with the thrust bearing if its not loud then its not a problem. I can't actually hear mine as I've got a vertical tonneau cover separating the boot halves so that's an option if you found it annoying lol
If you can get ones with recent brake change (especially if its a UK with Brembos) then that's a bonus as they're pricey (as I'm finding out).
Nothing really to look out for under the hood, just the general stuff when looking for any car, try and check the oil though as they do burn quite a bit.
Sam, I hardly did any research at all in the 18 months I was looking :whistling:
Thanks for the reps guys, glad I could help. I'm not quite ready for Mastermind yet, but I think I may be getting there

Looks ok from the pics mate, its not a GT so you dont have to worry about the cost of having Brembos
He is most likely having trouble selling it as its a Non GT and the Non GT's are not going for much now so check on Autotrader and see what there going for as you might be able to knock him down a bit more.
Great cars IMO , I have always wanted one but i now get to play with Vix's Zed lol
