dean_asla Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hi Everyone, Dean here, currently living out in Osaka, Japan. Originally from Aberdeen. Just bought a 2007 350z Nismo, apart from the alloys and MCR exhaust, fairly standard car. Engine in good condition with FSH, body has some areas where I need to get the paint touched but and the interior is in decent condition, need to fix some plastic panels and change the steering wheel. Not sure what the plans will be with the car, first step will be to fix up the parts of the car that require attention. Now have to wait 4 weeks for the car, apparently they need this amount of time to register the car. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becouse i have them on my 370 nismo and see them being a potential water trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 The arch extensions are just part of the nismo body kits. On the 350z at least they are stuck on to the original arches so no real benifit apart from styling. I think the 370z is the same but not had one so I can't say for sure.

If I keep it here in Japan for a year, I believe I don't have to pay tax when sending it home. 4 hours ago, da.murf said: Again class! I was chatting on RMS about this car with you. Lovely!!

Its in having the bumpers freshened up along with the roof, mirrors and rear wing sprayed silver again as a previous owner had the painted dark grey. Which does look nice but I want it as oem as possible. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also - only came on JDM market 350 Nismos. North American Nismos don't have the arch extensions. I want them!!
