You won't get much of a soundtrack from a Nismo S tune exhaust. One of the quietest exhausts I've ever experienced.

I have a standard DE & a balls-out HR - so nothing worthwhile to contribute in comparison terms, really. Americans in particular talk a lot of trash about DE's being slow and rubbish compared to the HR but folk being folk, they will find any excuse to be d*cks about someone elses car.

Yep, they are - ltd Ed Rays. There are quite a few 'nismo' wheels that were either aftermarket or OEM, the most famous being the LMGT4. Once my silver set are refurbed I'll be putting decals on them

Any nimso wheels can sport nismo decals, not just LMGT4. http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-74819809586579/WillNismoWheels1.jpg These wheels in gun metal were only available stateside, silver in Japan. OEM on Nismo Version Fairladys and 350Z's

It's that time of year when people get ready for 2 weeks abroad or a weekend City getaway - I just wanted to share a nugget of advice relevant to anyone jetting off this year. A few years ago, I came home from a short break in Corfu & found that I'd misplaced my passport between the airport & my house - I was due Offshore the day after I arrived, so got home and immediately started to pack my rig-bag. Finding I'd lost my passport between the airport & home, I jumped in the car and drove round (I live literally 5 minutes from Aberdeen Airport) - I approached the Taxi Desk Attendant who recognized me from the passport (mine) he'd just found & was delighted when he told me he'd passed it to the Police Office adjacent to the Main Terminal. That was where my delight ended. The police officer who had just received my passport informed me that because my passport didn't technically belong to me & it had been out of my custody, it was to be sent to the Passport office where it would be destroyed. No amount of pleading or politeness made any difference. Destroyed. End of. I therefore urge any of you who find a passport, be it at an airport or on the seat of a taxi - DO NOT hand it in to the police straight away. Go the extra mile & try to find the owner via social media or non-police airport security. It could make all the difference to whether you ruin someones holiday or not.

Supercoppermix twin plate in the Nismo. Amazing. Like night and day to my stock Z

I used to be obsessed with the scalextric sets in those ha ha!

Welcome :-)

That's rife in all american car forums, the 350z is a popular vehicle stateside & I've seen some terribly blase conversations emerge off the back of what people pack. To some it's just a way of life & a necessary evil because they live in rough neighborhoods - others behave like having the means to extra-judicially kill people with ballistic lead is a constitutional right regardless of how unhinged you may be. It's far too embedded in the cultural mindset of Americans now for it to ever change.

I wouldn't go through the hassle of that until I tried polishing them out. Ever seen this? http://www.diamondite.com/ Machine polisher with that has to be worth a punt over new glass.

As someone who owns a proper unicorn I have to agree with a lot of the previous posts. GT4's are a rarity & molesting one that's in mint condition seems completely illogical - If you don't care about keeping the car as an investment & want to do something special, by all means go ahead. There are plenty of 380RS with garish body kits, aftermarket turbos & interior revamps kicking around Japan but not many in the condition of when they left omori. Each molested one makes a stock one rarer & more expensive, it'll be no different with the GT4.

I've seen aftermarket stroker kits for the 370z creating a 3900 displacement VQ engine. Japan Only I'm afraid.

At 400hp you'd expect better performance than they actually deliver. As Alex said, big and slow and with an auto box? A pass for me I'm afraid.

BlackVue DR7502CH here. Tried Road angel Halo, Dod, Nextbase & BlackVue is the best hands down. Nextbase was front only but quality & night vision was faultless. Will be installing the power supply manager to prevent discharging the battery.

So yesterday I had the 380 out for a blast with the weather being nicer and decided to swing in past my better half's work - when returning to my car I spotted a lovely looking Orange import (square rear numberplate) with a 350z decal on its side who seemed to slow down to check out the 380 before I got to it. I quickly got the car turned round to follow - lost him before getting to Morrisons roundabout but amazingly, ANOTHER Sunset Orange Cabriolet (UK reg rear) pulled onto the the roundabout at the same time. Amazing coincidence. Lovely looking motors the pair of them.

There were a handful of 370z Nismos for under £30k with dealer mileage on them - both white and black and in both marques - as has been mentioned, you'd be mad to buy a zero miler with the premium that comes with it - you sound like a man who appreciates a deal, hence finding one of these sub-£30k examples is my advice to you. Good luck with the search :-)

If you give me a week I'll have an old crappy one available. - for free

Fog light is my guess. remember you need your headlights on as well before the circuit switches on.

Global baby-boom begins in 9 months as the world starts trawling through his back catalogue. Mark my words.

Dick move 2016. ****ing Dick move.

It'll be as new. No marks fading or swirls etc

If I was going to spunk money on a kit it'd be the amuse powerhouse superlegerra kit. That whole look just screams mental
