Digsy Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Look at the wheels...... I thought they were GT4 exclusive. They were the standard wheels across the whole of the world except the UK. Not really very exclusive.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 That car has the bonnet bulge and what looks like an 08 plate on it....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 A couple of examples of irish imports at Holdcrofts with the so called GT4 wheels with and without bulges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulzx Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 He wants Beavis' car I assume Yes. He is pestering me all the time. Judging by the amount of people that are after a yellow zed i can only see it going up in value! Let the bidding war commence hehe don't get too excited Beavis...there are a few of us who want one but judging by how long a couple of them have been for sale, there is definately a limit to what people will pay for these. One car that i can think of in particular proves that an UY GT4 on low miles still can't fetch 16k even though it's a stunning car. I guess people are passing them up for MY06 cars at that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulzx Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 the ultra yellow didn't seem so ultra in real life. It was more of a banana yellow to me. I'm off to look at an UY in the flesh today, think i need to see this colour up close...this comment above is worrying me a bit lol... I'm expecting a nice bright, intense yellow. If bananas come into the eqation i may have to change the title of this thread!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimm Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I have had another look at this GT4 ??????? and there is no limited edition number plate inside I was going to go and ask to see the log book, would this have this on here?? is it a GT4 then ? Anyone http://finance.autoexposure.co.uk/drill ... 225_1a.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiemonster Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I think without seeing the GT4 plate or log book you cant tell from the photos, it seems to me like one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimm Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Looks like a GT4 to me that's not answered the question though. No limited edition number or plate inside the car, do all GT4's have these or because it's yellow it must be a real one. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Looks like a GT4 to me that's not answered the question though. No limited edition number or plate inside the car, do or GT4's have these ? Plate should be on the car between the seats. There is no number which car it is on the log book. It will only say 350 GRAN TURISMO 4 And i dont know how true it is but i did hear that not all GT4's had the plate fitted. Seen the log book will tell you what you need to know.

Digsy Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Just run it through the Autotrader site and its registered as a GT4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
token Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 All GT4s have a metal plaque that tells you which number it is out of 176. If it doesn't have the plaque then its not a GT4 - unless someone removed it. But this would not make any sense because a lot of people wanting a GT4 will ask which production number it is and most people ask to see the plaque. If you're thinking about paying anything above £15k for that car then you're out of your mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 If you're thinking about paying anything above £15k for that car then you're out of your mind! I think you have made that point enough already Of course you are entitled to your opinion but at the end of the day the decision lies with any potential buyer.

Paulzx Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 having looked at one of these yesterday, the paint job on the UY is not actually that special at all. In fact, if it is pearl it's not even as nice pearl as my own car, it looks flat. And it is more of a banana yellow than i thought it would be. I'll still be looking around to see if i can pick a good condition one up but having seen the UY and also an azure blue metallic up close, the azure has a better paint job i think. I don't think the yellow GT4's are quite as special as I thought they would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellow is a pearl but on a dull day the yellow does look like a flat yellow, its only on a sunny day that the colour comes alive.

Sarnie Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Between and behind the seats to the side of the sub speaker and below the two cubbies.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 PS: I think your being too quick to dismiss the UY. On a dull day it does look a bit bland and flat, but on a sunny day, all those reflective pearlescent flakes come out and make all the difference. Its also something that is near impossible to capture via a camera,you'll just have to believe us. Don't go Azure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulzx Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 well you always pick the best photos to post up lol!!! my own 300z is pearl white but i had it done myself, when you compare the pearl effect from my car to the UY it just looks like nissan scrimped on the cost a bit because i had to really put my nose to the car to see if it was pearl, it's just very subtle. but i do think they stand out more than anything else in UY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbaker8130 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Best I've managed with a camera. As Liam says, very difficult to capture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
