KurtB Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi, Looked at this car today, but it cost a bit more than I wanted to spend on one. What is the kit called, and does anyone know roughly how much it is? If I cant find a cheaper black car with this kit already on is it simple to get this one fitted? Im guessing its some sort of Nismo/Nissan fitted one, but not 100% as I'm still new to the world of the 350 I like it as it looks smart, but still discreet!

waylander Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thats the nismo N1 kit. R Yep your next question should be is it an origianl factory fitted N1 kit or an after market N1 kit fitted by the previous owner as this would affect the value on the Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 What year,mileage and how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Also, the N1 term is used for replica's the genuine stuff is V1, V2,V3 etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 and by the looks an original How can you tell? i've seen several differnet copies from different manufacturers and the gaps are different to an original. in particular, alot of the copies i've seen, including mine have a gap at the bottom of the drivers light. also the gaps and spacing generally around the bumper. none are major gaps, but its just enough to spot between the 2. if it is a copy then its an extremely good fit. not always easy to tell by photos, so i could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtB Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Cheers. The car had 17000 on the clock and matches exactly fit wise and paint work wise, aparantly fitted by a dealer, just wanted to check. As they seem uncommon in this colour with this kit just weighing up getting a slightly older/higher mileage car and fitting the kit. In all honesty though I would rather have one like this where it has been professionally fitted, by the looks of it though doesnt look like that is a common thing It is a 56 plate for £16500. They dont want to budge on price. I understand this seems a good price for the condition / age etc, but I was looking to spend 12-14k, accepting higher mileage and older year etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkie34 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I think that's a very good price for a low mileage 56 plate with what seems a genuine nismo kit fitted. The kit is worth about 2.5k then painting and fitting on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 if its original nismo the full kit can be got for about £1100 but thats a one off special price, i think its normally twice that. and thats before any paint has touched it. fitting on originals aren't a problem and go on like a glove, its the advantage of originals. copies can be got for as little as £400 up to £1000 but fitment can be an issue and you'll probably spend extra getting it fitted right. some of the better copies are around £600-£800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 kitted ones do come up for sale but your more likely to find them on here as a private sale. as for price thats pretty good price, and it will be the 296 engine instead of the 276, nice low mileage.

KurtB Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thanks for your help. The painful thing is I know that its exactly what I want, and at a good price - just a lot above the amount I wanted to spend on a car. Im so torn!

scottsoulby Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 does look genuine, the genuine rear spoiler ends connect and stick to the cars boot where as most replica's dont, they usually sit about an inch above the boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
