Why would it show Japanese registration on a UK document? Sometimes vehicles get built and sit around without being registered, that's just how it is. What exactly is the issue here?

No, there is zero way of checking build date apart from writing to Nissan and asking very nicely, but you've two hopes with that and one died in 2003. If you have a Revup, you have a Revup. That's all there is to it, it was just registered very very very late. Hopefully you didn't pay OTT for it, or believe it was a HR model before buying.

Probably been sat in a dealer storage for ages, although if it's a Revup (as you say, with the single intake into the engine) then that'd been there a while. Not impossible though, not by any means, there was a bunch of Irish cars like that that did the rounds for a while.

On standard cats? Or hiflo/decats?

Nope, I'd still shoot anyone opting for it, which seems appropriate for a car made in America too.

I'm sure technically it's a better gearbox: Faster, more reliable, possibly lighter? It still doesn't make it the right choice for this application at all, in my eyes. In the same way the 7-speed manual in the 911 is a travesty.

Also, it's just an opinion. I didn't say you didn't have to buy one because of me, I just said that I don't like them. I'm not really sure where all your aggression comes from, I'm really not.

Been on the sauce again fella?

Probably because I have a new job and can't post on here 24/7 any more

Really? Because I'm pretty sure I'm happy to say to people in real life what I say on here I don't like the thought of 10 speed gearboxes in sports coupes, what's the issue with that? If you have a counter point to make, as opposed to trying to score cheap Internet Points, then feel free to join the conversation.

My comment was more that that kind of 'box is more suited to diesel barges where you might want to make use of the small powerband, not a sports coupe with a massive V8 and a whole bunch of torque. It wasn't a dig at your oh-so-precious and completely infallible Mustang.

Oh, so you have driven a ten-speed auto then? Pray, tell me about what it's like then.

No-one needs ten gears. It's just pandering to the numbers, just to use as a selling point. Hell most of the time we'd only need four gears: 1-3 being short up to 90mph, then 4th as a huuuuuuge cruising gear up to 200mph

Anyone ordering a sports coupe with a ten speed auto'box needs shooting.

Again, update the first post dude and put the price in the title, that's the first thing people will see if they click.

That’s a beautiful colour mate, it really is, but why just part? It looks unfinished, I’d at least do the rear bumper as well to tie it in. Or even better the whole thing, as that’s genuinely beautiful.

Have another ffs. Ffs.

OH MY GOD THERE’S MORE OF THEM

I expect the MR Vette with the V8 to sit significantly above the price of the FR V8, say in the £100k bracket, with the MR V6 to sit where the current model does. If so, expect residuals of the FR V8 to remain very firm, as who wants a V6 Corvette?? With Brexit still to hit as well, I think any guesses at values in 1-2 years are pie in the sky right now. Depending on your ’contract’ with Nissan, if Nismo values hold you can probably get out anytime you like tbh. I’d say the C7 is already an utter bargain, if you can live with LHD.

@StevoD any ideas?

I’ve driven this car. It’s ace, and I’m not normally a fan of single turbos on V engines. It gets the Dan Seal Of Approval

Easy answer is no. Tbh the 350 didn't come with many options in the BMW sense anyway, so there's nothing to unlock as well as less to go wrong.

Oh wait, someone did. Wow. I’m lost for words.

But no ones bought those, someone bought the £110 ones
