wanta350 Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Hello Everyone, if I wanted a nismo kitted z am I better off with: a. cheap import z, buy new kit and cool 18" GT4 alloys and get it fitted. (anyone know how much it would cost to buy the kit and get it fitted....??) b. buy one that already has the kit on and the alloys..... Which would be the cheapest way? Ideally I would like a metallic grey one!! Quote
Sarnie Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 If your gonna fit the Nismo kit, don't buy the GT4 alloys. You will need 19's at least to fill the arches, I know I did Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 It's usually less expensive to buy with the work already done and let the last owner take the hit on depreciation Quote
Sarnie Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 It's usually less expensive to buy with the work already done and let the last owner take the hit on depreciation Thats what I did with the UY. Pricing up a set of decent 19's, tyres, genuine nismo kit, painting and fitting you would do well to get change out of £5-6k. Once you spend that on a car, you've lost most of it, so I sold mine used that money to buy a nearly brand new one with the kit already fitted Quote
wanta350 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Posted December 30, 2007 hmmm... so the best option is to buy one with the kit on, flog the usual 18" alloys that come with it and get 19"..... sarnie, you talking about those killer black ones you had? Quote
Sarnie Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 sarnie, you talking about those killer black ones you had? Yep, 19 inch SF Challenge Volks in Diamond Black and chrome lip, loved them for the whole 3 weeks they were on my car Cost a shade under £2k plus £500 for tyres. Quote
wanta350 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Posted December 30, 2007 maybe just stick with 18" GT4s then, with that price tag..... Quote
martinmac Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Shop around bud, plenty of wheels for sale so just live with what they have for a while. Chances are if you find one with a bodykit they may have been upgraded anyway Quote
Sarnie Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 maybe just stick with 18" GT4s then, with that price tag..... IIRC GT4's are circa £700 a rim plus tyres brand new Of course there are lots of other choices out there for less $$$ Bigphil sells 19 inch Nismos with tyres fro £1700 Quote
Sarnie Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 GT4 Alloys + Nismo body kitted zed for sale here!!!!! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 sarnie is right mate, the zed with the nismo increases the panel size and drowns 18's you need big rims with the nismo kit to proportion the car, if you cant afford both then just get the rims imo Quote

wanta350 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Posted December 30, 2007 sarnie, did you just say £700 PER rim? As for that one, yeah looked but fiancee doesn't like yellow......so looking for either black or gunmetal.... that one has the gt4 alloys, and looks OK....although to be honest, I need to see it in the flesh..... 19" bling bling baby!!! I would love to have 19" personally, but its all about balancing wants with the old wallet..... Quote
GIXXERUK Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 sarnie, did you just say £700 PER rim? i think thats a nissan stealership price quite a few peeps have bought nismo rims off (iirc) brinster from the states , usually works out about £700-£800 a set (no tyres) from ebay.com Quote
H5 Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Good luck finding a Gunmetal kitted one. I only know of one, and have been looking for the last 4 months for one........ Quote
wanta350 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Posted December 30, 2007 you've got a gunmetal one now...havn't you? not tempted to get the kit and then into the bodyshop then? Quote

H5 Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 you've got a gunmetal one now...havn't you? not tempted to get the kit and then into the bodyshop then? Yep. Nope. It will be about £3-4k by the time kit is obtained, and fitted, finished and painted. And there is no way it will add that to value, so if I can find one with it on and I spend a bit more to get it, I would be happier. Quote
wanta350 Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 by that response then... The best way forward is to buy one with the kit off someone and then upgrade the wheels if need be!! Cheers Quote

Zedrush Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 http://www.potn.co.uk/p2155780.htm you can get them down to 500 too for the whole kit Ive erm know someone who bought from hhere and the kit was a straight fit Quote
wanta350 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Posted January 3, 2008 is that an actual nismo kit then? or a replica? Quote
