For Sale / Trade: 2012 370 Twin Turbo - 6MT - Touring + Sport - All Options - 8K Mile
 
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
  • Navigation
  • 6MT Tranny
  • Lighted Z door sills

Upgrades:
  • Fast Intentions Twin Turbo Kit, including Tial HTA2868 Upgraded Turbos and Black Crinkle Finished Pipes
  • Fast Intentions Fast 500 Return Fuel Kit
  • Fast Intentions 2.5" resonated exhaust with SS tips
  • Fast Intentions High-Flow Cats
  • Fast Intentions Oil Cooler Kit
  • CSF Tripple Pass Radiator
  • Specialty Z Street Clutch
  • HKS EVC6 Boost Controller
  • Defi Gauges (Boost, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure) in main cluster
  • Innovate AFR (Galeforce Single-Pod A-Pillar)
  • Nissan Red Calipers with Upgraded Slotted Rotors, Pads, SS lines, and fluid
  • Swift Springs
  • Whiteline Diff Bushings
  • GTR Red Start Button
  • Nismo Dark Grey Wheels
  • Black Vinyl-Wrapped Roof
  • Black Vinyl-Wrapped Rear Valence
  • Smoked rear brake lamp lenses
  • Front 1/4 Clear-Bra

Performance Specs:
  • Tuned by Seb@SZ
  • 492WHP / 456WTQ (91 Craptane)
  • 578WHP / 528WTQ (100/91 blend)

Condition:
  • Oil Change and Inspection by Tony at Fast Intentions in May 2015
  • 8200 Miles
  • No dings, dents scratches on body
  • 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.

Beautiful to High for me, gl with selling. California, Hawaii, Maryland, Kentucky, Michigan and Virginia don't do the sales tax credit. If you trade it in 31k if they give you that won't be taxed.

GaleForce 06-04-2015 11:08 PM

Awesome forum member. Great car. Sad to see it go.

Bump.

Thanks for that. One of the reasons a part-out is not in the cards for me.

Would you mind telling me how you sold your car? I have mine listed for a year asking $38k. It's a 2010 nismo tt. Professional build. I spent a bunch of money on the safety aspect for the engine and trans. Added a surge pump extra fan Stillen front bumper vented carbon hood heat shielding on many components KW V3 suspension. Camber kit etc..... I get more people asking if I want to part it out. I can't believe someone e would rather spend $30 to $35 to do their own build vs getting one that is do e for $10k over a stock 370. Can you help me understand how they do that math?

ROBERT1183 09-21-2015 01:34 PM

Me too lol. Im selling my 2011 sport with aam twin turbo kit. Have about $29k into the car listed mine for $38k too or $35k on stock wheels. Everyone asks if im parting.

just a bit of perspective from a 40yr old that is looking to buy a TT, clean/classy is the key, i'm not going to drive a pinata doesn't matter how much money you have in it, if this car was still for sale i'd be making offers.

It's not about math. Most people don't want to take over someone else's project car. Especially when that project car is a turboed factory NA car. The reasons are many. They want to have the experience of doing it themselves. They want it modded 'their' way. Or regardless of who the seller is and how honest you might be its always going to be in the back of people's minds why you are selling. Is there a problem the buyer doesn't know about. Then there's people like me that wouldn't own a FI car that was installed by anyone else. I know there are a lot of good tuners/shops out there but there are very few people willing to be as anal with my build as I am.

Wish you luck on your sale but selling a completed FI build is always going to be difficult if you expect to get above the blue book value of the car. Remember car modding is like owning a boat. You are just pouring money down the hole.
