jimbadman Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Hi guys, you probably don't remember me but last year i came on the May wales run in a Beautiful Pearl white Nismo Fairlady Z and i really enjoyed it. Since then i sold my Z and bought a Evo VIII MR FQ320 but then decided to sell the car and get a house...... since then (yes i change cars alot) Ive picked up a 550bhp R32 GTR which is great also, but now im looking for something more economical and more driver involved like a DC5 or another 350Z lol. Ive just got a few questions, can you get the UK ones with The Bose, Brembos and cruise control or are they different packs? I formally had a ST import but the think i was always a bit jealous of was the steering wheel stereo controls and the cruise control. Anyone with a Sub 10k Blue one for sale at the moment? I really enjoyed the wales run and the community within the 350's world is the best ive ever came across. Hoping to be back soon Quote
Vik54 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Once you've got the bug you jst can't shake it Uk with Bose, Brembo, Cruise Rays = GT pack - but you won't find a UK Azure with GT for under £10k mate - unless perhaps with mega mileage Quote
stanski Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 back matey Good luck with the search. Dont worry too much about the cruise controls - we never get a chance to use them in this country! Quote
Sarnie Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 RAYS WAS NEVER PART OF THE GT PACK!!! Quote
Pimm Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 RAYS WAS NEVER PART OF THE GT PACK!!! Mine is a GT and never came with rays Quote
jimbadman Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 Looks like it might be another ST for me then, has anybody ever had cruise control or steering wheels controls fitted to a Import? I can't understand why it's not an option the Japs would want. It's very annoying because the steering controls are so good yet ive never had a car with them and my Girlfriends Clio has them Good to see the prices have held well, makes me wish i hadn't let my old one go now. Will have to dig deeper into the 350z for sale section. Thanks for the welcome back guys, my goal is to make the May wales run assuming it's happening again! Quote
Sarnie Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks for the welcome back guys, my goal is to make the May wales run assuming it's happening again! There is one in October Quote
martinmac Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Thats for sure, the May Wales run will be on. Quote
Vik54 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 RAYS WAS NEVER PART OF THE GT PACK!!! F*ck me Liam - my mistake obviously - I had v high standards when I was looking- not sure why you feel the need to highlight this so aggressively though Quote
MrLizard Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 RAYS WAS NEVER PART OF THE GT PACK!!! F*ck me Liam - my mistake obviously - I had v high standards when I was looking- not sure why you feel the need to highlight this so aggressively though Vik54 meet Sarnie Quote

jimbadman Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 October would be lovely! Someones coming over from Finland to view my Skyline next week so fingers crossed. Just spotted this on Autotrader is it known on here by any chance? Seems very cheap to cheap... http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... gLetter=52 Might give the owner a call though and see what the deal is. I really would like Blue this time although Yellow is stunning. Quote

jimbadman Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 Ah i didn't notice that, i just saw GT in the title and assumed it was a U.K, how can you tell? Lots to be wary of i bought my previous one as an impulse but i may not be so lucky second time around. Quote
martinmac Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 The square rear number plate is the easiest think to spot on a JDM. Quote
Vik54 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Square number plates It is not a GT if its an import - but may have premium pack or higher on it. IMHO (and I stand to be corrected) - this seller doesn't really know their stuff or is hoping the buyer doesn't - I know you can find imports with fantastic grades and low mileage - but this one sets my alarm bells off - but you never know until you see it the flesh and check the paperwork- it may be the find of the month mate Quote
jimbadman Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 I can't tell if it's got brembo's from the pic which is annoying the disks look small behind the wheels and no bose either. Right colour wrong spec by the looks of it although Gunmetal is apealing now Cheers for the tips of spotting a JDM from a U.K i haven't got a problem with Imports but i fancy all the toys this time as i wanna stick with this for a while. Just need to find a cheap Titanium Veilside exhaust again now..... Quote
zedwagon Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Looks like it might be another ST for me then, has anybody ever had cruise control or steering wheels controls fitted to a Import? I can't understand why it's not an option the Japs would want. It's very annoying because the steering controls are so good yet ive never had a car with them and my Girlfriends Clio has them i had steering wheel controls on my ver ST (no cruise tho of course) Quote

martinmac Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I suggested this to Phil at ESR and the look he gave me indicated that I should have a rethink. Quote
sunset350z Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 You should be able to find a GT for under 10k. Squarehead just sold his 54 plate Azure for less than £10k with 70,000 miles on the clock to a member on here. They are about Quote
BladesGrant Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Just get a new H/U with a remote and tape it to your steering wheel. Quote
jimbadman Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 Just get a new H/U with a remote and tape it to your steering wheel. Lol! Why did i not think of this before, well as i made you think of the idea and your the inventor i demand 20% share when the Dragons take on this idea. Quote
