The Hampson Auction
2009 Nissan 350Z
Extensively modified example with air ride suspension
Registration – FE58 OLO
Chassis No. – JN1GBAZ33U0320515
M.O.T. – April 2026
Odometer – 96,900
The Nissan 350Z is widely regarded as one of the defining affordable performance coupes of the early 21st century — a modern interpretation of the marque’s long-running Z-car lineage, combining muscular styling, rear-wheel drive balance and robust V6 performance in a highly usable package. Increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts, well-presented examples — particularly those enhanced with quality aftermarket upgrades — continue to attract strong interest.
Finished in striking red bodywork, this example presents as a notably purposeful and visually arresting car, benefiting from what appears to be an extensive programme of modifications carried out with both aesthetics and drivability in mind. The vendor informs us that the car has covered 96,921 miles from new, is accompanied by an M.O.T. valid until April 2026, and that in excess of £100,000 has been invested in the vehicle during his ownership.
Externally, the Z sits on substantial Ferrada Forge-8 20-inch alloy wheels shod with Continental tyres, filling the arches to dramatic effect and contributing to an assertive stance further enhanced by the installation of an air-ride suspension system. This arrangement reportedly allows the ride height to be adjusted for both everyday usability and show presentation.
The interior continues the performance theme, featuring a plethora of carbon-fibre components including a bespoke steering wheel and trim elements, complemented by heated seats and what appears to be a custom infotainment installation. The cabin materials and finishes combine to create a cockpit that is both sporting and contemporary in feel.
Under the bonnet resides Nissan’s proven VQ-series V6 engine, presented in notably clean condition and enhanced visually by colour-coded intake components. The engine is paired with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox, widely regarded as the preferred configuration for drivers seeking maximum engagement from the Z-platform.
The luggage compartment houses components associated with the air-ride system, including Air Lift Performance hardware, suggesting a professionally installed setup designed for reliability as well as visual impact.
Overall, this modified 350Z represents an opportunity to acquire a striking example of an increasingly collectible modern Japanese performance car, offered with the benefit of extensive visual and mechanical enhancements already completed.
