Wow 46k must be out of his tiny mind

 

No need to insult Chris like that, Paul, he's one of the nicest guys in the Z community in UK, with extensive knowledge and very hands-on on modifications to his cars.

No, Id like to try other cars now, especially sports cars offering 2 seater experience and even EV as i have a home charger. Had 4 Zeds. Would have loved one 2-3 years ago but they were 50k plus then. That engine can be bought and swapped in a 370z. 

 

Never say never. I do like the Nismo and the kit can be bought along with the seats. For what the Nismo costs (60,000+) many cars are available. Even supercars. 

 

Id love to drive one when i go Japan next year hopefully. Can rent it and do the Hakone tour. Making me want to go within the next few months 😂. But itll be getting hot now....Can also rent the NSX cost a bit more though. Apparently it makes sense to transit via China which may start offering 10 days Visa free transit for shopping due to Tarriffs hmm.

Wow 😲 that looks like one hell of of a experience,and what a choice of cars for that drive 

[Ekona]

That’s not bad value actually, £500 to drive an nsx for the day looks a bit of a bargain. 

[GranTurismoEra]

For 4.5 hours 9 to 1:30 with stops. 

 

 They have a good choice of cars. Although many "suspended" probably under maintenance. Good thing about the area can either get a bus and bullet train back to Tokyo. There are other companies that offer rentals without the tour if you wish to explore yourself.

 

Or proceed to Nagoya (Toyota Museums and Factories) then Osaka...48 mins by train apparently.

There is no such thing as 400Z, it's just Z.

£51,000 for a possible ST Leather seats (Sport Touring) or Touring...New they are £34- £37,000 in Japan. Didnt state what version it was. 

 

Youre basically paying GTR money for a standard 370Z Turbo as an Early UK buyer! 🤣.

 

Basically without a middle man 33k gets you the cheapest could be a 25 plate base car cleared. But 37-45k gets you an ST with suede leather seats, wheels, painted calipers and 60-65k gets you a Nismo. 70k in a container with a middle man.... 😆. 

 

Maybe youd be able to get rid of the Nismo for 65k because of rarity via auction but still...

 

Now if you think about it if that Chris dude paid 46k for near new and it was an ST plus used a company thats actually good...He wouldn't have saved much maybe 2k or so assuming the car was 36k in Japan. 

 

If you're gonna buy one. Learn your trims dont get ripped off 😆

 

Base, S, T, ST, Nismo and Customized on non Nismo trims.
