waltong Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi. I've seen this variant on a few of the forums but my local HPC says it's not coming to the UK. Nissan GB are not responding. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm sure the press release talked about a reversing camera and Tyre pressure monitor as standard, plus different wheel and body colours? Maybe I'm going mad!!

I'll email my man in NMGB tomorrow - not talked to him for a while - good excuse to catch up. I beleive that reversing cam is now part of Connect Premium if you get a new car to order (MY2011). But I can confirm that tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltong Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Thanks for that. I did have a missed call from my HPC at 8am this morning! Maybe they've had some news! I'm going to test the current manual and auto and get that dilema out of the way this week. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Thats why I held off so long when I heard about the 40th Edition. Its a pain in the butt that we know (via the US usually) that a new model is coming. I guess in a way that its good as you know a new one is coming a few months before, so you do have some warning not to go out and buy one just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltong Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Another Nissan classic! My dealer phones me today and says YES the GT Edition will be announced in a day or two. Five minutes late I get an e mail from Nissan GB customer services thanking me for my e mail about the GT Edition and saying there are NO current plans to sell the GT Edition in the UK!! I wonder who is right? Answers on a postcard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 GT Edition will be available in the UK. Dealers got the info packs yesterday and press release (to public) will be out today or tomorrow.

Chris`I Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hot off the press - I've not even read it yet! NISSAN 370Z GT EDITION: A CELEBRATION At a glance •Special limited edition race-themed Coupé •Three special body colour choices, side stripes and darkened 19" alloy wheels •Suspension changes to enhance ride comfort, high speed handling To celebrate in Nissan's global success in GT racing and 40 years of Z in the UK a special ‘GT Edition' is being unleashed. Offering special body colours, unique GT stripes, darkened 19inch RAYS forged alloy wheels and a number of significant suspension and equipment changes. The GT Edition recognises its heritage with a nod to the 1970s and the birth of the original Z car: special side stripes. Grey ‘GT' stripes running along the flanks of the car contrast with each of the special edition's three body colours - Pearl White, Kuro (metallic) black and Black Rose, the latter shade is exclusive to GT Edition. The exterior is set off by the standard 19inch RAYS forged alloy wheels finished in a dramatic dark anthracite colour. In deference to the higher average speeds routinely enjoyed in Europe, changes to the GT chassis have been engineered by technicians from Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) based in Cranfield, Bedfordshire. The principal modification has been to retune the dampers to provide the ideal balance between ride comfort and high-speed handling. Equipment changes include the arrival of a rear view parking camera as part of the Premium Connect satellite navigation system and the fitment of a tyre pressure monitoring system. The advanced seven-speed automatic option now has a snow mode which, when applied, sets the car off in second gear and controls engine revs to prevent wheel spin on ice or snow. Refinement is enhanced by revisions to underbody insulation to reduce road noise. "The 370Z is an iconic sports car and the GT Edition underlines its appeal to enthusiasts everywhere," said Pierre Loing, Vice President Product Planning, Nissan International SA. "The combination of outstanding performance and the dramatic looks of this very special 370Z more than lives up to the heritage of its illustrious forebear while its strong links to the race track shows its true pedigree." As the name implies, the GT Edition celebrates Nissan's presence in GT racing on the world stage. As well as its continuing commitment to Super GT in Japan, Nissan has been one of the leading lights in the new GT1 World Championship, winning the prestigious Tourist Trophy in 2010 with the fearsome GT-R. The Nissan Z family has been a race winner in the FIA GT4 European Cup since its inception and competes annually in various 24 hour races - the highlight being the Nürburgring 24 hours. The Nissan 370Z GT4 Cup race car has raced toe to toe against competition from Aston Martin, Porsche and BMW across Europe in the real world while it is also the racing gamers' vehicle of choice in the virtual world. An innovative link with Gran Turismo 5 game for PlayStation® 3 has seen cyber racers compete against each other to win a drive in a real 370Z GT4 cup car. The 2011 GT Academy series, already underway, with on-line gamers ready to swap the virtual world for the real thing. The best will become part of the Nissan GT Academy, a motor racing ladder that could take top drivers from local series through the European Blancpain Endurance series right the way to international GT1 World Championship. The new GT Edition 370Z is available to order from participating 370Z dealers with first deliveries expected from 1 June 2011 and priced from £35,000 ends...

Sarnie Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Whats so special about those colours??????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Looks like Black Rose will be exclusive to the GT Edition. IIRC it was exclusive to the roadster to start with - certainly in the US - so this is the only way to get it in a Coupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Go faster stripes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 A nice orange or blue from the gtr would have be good. Instead they do the usual Nissan array of Black, Black variant and White..................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Blue from the MY11 GTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Exactly. Nissan are so lame sometimes, they have perfect way of shifting a load of cars in limited edition colours etc and they take a white one, add stickers and darken the rims and call it a limited edition....................

Chris`I Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Darker rims are just painted with the same paint as the GTR rims. Same as the 40th Edition I think. They probably had a few left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 It would cost Colin about £300 to make his car a 'GT Edition'. Poor show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
