GranTurismoEra Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 yeah worth keeping just for the exclusivity. Ive never seen a Mk1 on the road. Mk2 are rare might see one every 6 months if lucky. Once the spacers and springs go on think it would look cool. Ever thought of wrapping the grey bits pearl white or do you prefer the contrast? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely right there, I never see any 370z's my way let alone any Nismo's! I'm a sucker for OEM+, I think the contrast makes the car. There is a Mk1/V1 for sale on Autotrader, which is all colour matched, and to me it doesn't look right and seems to be struggling to sell.

ShortPaul Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) That v1 thats colour coded has been for sale for at least twelve months, i think all v1 nismo's in the states are all one colour. Are these cars numbered from the factory or when they were brought into a country Edited November 15, 2021 by ShortPaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these cars number from the factory or when they were brought into a country Wow and the price has been dropped a lot recently! I think you're right and think the cars in the states are numbered by the year too? I'm not sure how they worked out the numbering but supposedly if there's only 120 in the UK and mine is #210 they must be numbered over a larger area than just the UK?

ShortPaul Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I am sure someone on this forum will know about the numbering of these cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Schwier Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 The colour coded ones your thinking about are the very first mk1's that were between 2009-2013 which included the silver v1 Nismo wheels. Then when Europe got the Nismo for the first time in 2013-2015. Nissan had then updated the mk1 with the gun metallic v1 wheels with contrasting bodykit along with the red brake calipers, magma red pin stripe decals and Nismo badge with the m-red O. In terms of numbering they are numbered to regional market (Europe, Asia, ect.) Hence why yours @reeceybeaneyis #210 and there is only 122 mk1's in the UK. Also Asian market Nismo's have the Fairlady Z badge instead of the 370z and its also on the numbered plaque. (Pretty cool!) In the American market they numbered them by each year of manufacturing. (All stuff I've just mentioned has been researched because I'm sad haha) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol i spoke to the guy a few times while my IG was live. Hes from Scotland. Hes not really selling it, as I asked. Its just there to tease buyers lol. That colour match is popular in the states. Not many are SORN so they are being used which is good. I did have my mk2 at £18000 at one point and just let the calls ring out 😂😂. Kept it another 6 months Edited November 16, 2021 by GranTurismoEra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeceybeaney Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Got a little relaxed with the wallet over the past week... H&R Springs, 20mm spacers, adjustable camber arms and oil and filter all bought and now fitted! Only had a major service at Nissan in August but I always do an interim oil and filter for what it costs. Dire need for an alignment, the rear is all over the place so it's just looking pretty on the drive now 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Looks good. Im wary of spacers though. An engineer once told me to stay away 😂. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeceybeaney Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Nismo been spoilt recently, full custom geo set up after the springs and spacers fitted. Need slightly smaller spacers in the rear as it rubs under compression Picked up some K&N intakes off a forum member @Jinshim thank you! Got them fitted and wasn't expecting much of a difference but pleasantly surprised with the intake noise. Also picked up the intake tubes if I fancy a chance as it seemed a no brainer as I was torn between the 2 choices! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortPaul Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Not positive but i think they started too number they v2 in the same way, but stopped for some reason, maybe due to the V2 being more common? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the design of the v2 it certainly looks like they were trying to extend beyond the v1 customer base to sell more cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeceybeaney Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 MOT done nice and early, tester wasn't so happy about how low the car was but we got it on the ramp okay🤣 Just need tyres...

reeceybeaney Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 Probably will push more to sell the Nismo next year, feel like the journey is coming to an end even though I'll never own a car as cool looking again 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
