    import grade

    Lee - Mine needed an anti roll bar bearing replaced and the Bose stereo CD was jammed and needed binning (replaced with top spec Alpine) Apart from that it was pretty much fine and only had 4800 miles on the clock (53 plate).

    import grade

    Your right, 1 is poor (although usually means modified/colour change etc) 5 is good, 6 is brand new. R/A means accident repaired etc. I'd personally go for nothing less than a 4.5 although mine was a 5 and still had a couple of problems which weren't highlighted on the grading sheet In my experience most grad 3/3.5 cars are in pretty poor condition.
  3. Hi Josh, As far as I'm aware, JDMs don't have an alarm as standard or an immob. I know for a fact mine had neither when I imported it.
  4. Found these pics mate - Looks spot on!
  5. Kev the wheels look excellent, how much did you lower it by? I've just bought some Teins which lower circa 20mm I think.
  6. Very nice watch, big Seamaster fan - try eBay mate should sell that no problem. Good luck
  7. Speedball - Ordered mine from Envy performance. 9'' fronts and 10'' rears with Toyo tyres. If you want a price PM me but they weren't too costly delivered
  8. Nice choice Speedball - Have seen those on an American Zed and they look spot on. Have just ordered some Racing Hart C4's for mine and the quality is brilliant.
  9. Car should be finished for this one and weather should be good Have to get Holly a 350z-uk lycra suit thing made up

    Evo X

    As an ex Evo VI Tommi Makinen owner I'm mortified at the look of it, and from the VII onwards to be honest. They seem to have lost the hard rally look and certainly gained the Vectra rep look which deff isn't a good thing IMO. Shame really.

    Excited!!

    Have just ordered my new rims, suspension and adjustable camber bits. Also recently ordered the speed racing kit through Valerio so things are shaping up, worst part is waiting now! Recently added a new Alpine headunit etc now looking at forced induction too. Will take some pics when it's sorted (hopefully in time for jap fest!) Only downer is somebody left their handbrake off on a Land Rover so it rolled into the back of my car, plus side is I get a new UK rear bumper so I can ditch the JDM style rear plate
  12. I'm running a top end Alpine headunit with the Bose speakers/amps just fine in a JDM car. Sounds better, much more scope to dab with settings etc. IIRC I used a normal Nissan loom without anything extra.
  13. Totally agree Chesterfield, it does look a little bare as standard. I've ordered the speed racing kit through Valerio and have also added some 19'' Racing Hart rims. Nothing too OTT just think it will look finished now. That Nismo kit looks good, will try to find some more pics.
  14. Thinking about going along to this, never been to Rockingham and it's always a good excuse for a weekend on the beer
  15. 24 in June, did have a 360bhp Evo VI Makinen at 21 though if we're showing off
  16. Not so sure actually because the standard JDM cars have no alarms or immobilizers on them Had a Cobra immobilizer fitted at the time of sva but can't see how this would effect the key? Did have to get a spare key for my Transit Connect and that was reprogrammed etc so can see where your coming from
  17. Bought a JDM car last year and it only came with one key. Have tried Nissan who say they can't help obtain spare key, and various locksmiths who say they haven't any key similiar enough. Did find one place who cut me a key but it won't turn once in the ignition barrel. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you overcome it? Cheers!
  18. Valerio, really good to meet you mate! Holly says thanks Had a good time & went out on the town Sat night - still feeling knackered today! Hopefully catch you all soon for a beer or three
  19. Indeed I was there for a while (Sunset Roadster) Spotted Steve's, the two D1's and a low gun metal on white 18s Lovely sunny day, ended up driving through to Petworth and onto Midhurst for a spot of lunch and a shandy
  20. Nick_MSM

    Which 19s?

    Decided to go for Racing Hart C4's
  21. Should be up for this if cars ready
  22. Nick_MSM

    Which 19s?

    I'd like to but IMO they are a little boring and don't really do anything for me?

    Which 19s?

    Cheers - Have to say these DTM Kreuz wheels look lovely, think they are circa $800 each from the states - has anyone imported wheels before, how does it work etc? Do I need to pay duty on top? Thanks
