mx5 Paul Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 HI People Im still on the hunt for a 350z, I have come accross a nice looking 54 plate in Blade Silver with only 66k miles on it. The question I have is this, it has a full factory sat-nav fitted. A friend of mine who has previosly owned a Z, thinks it an import? He reckons that the early UK cars didn't come with the full sat-nav, even as factory extra. Can anyone shed a bit of light on this, is there a way of telling other than the V5. Some other Jap imports have square front number plates, is this true about the Z's? Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMLNJ Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Look at the rear number plate. If it's square with a square indentation then is 99% an import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete87 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 not 100% some people put the jdm rear bumpers on there uk cars, look at the sat nav if all the buttons are in jap like mine its an import. Also fairlady Z badges are a big give away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

370Ad Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) DE cars can come with sat nav as mine has one. If its an import with sat nav it will all be in Japanese! Edited October 21, 2013 by 350Ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mx5 Paul Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks for the replies guys All I can say is that, it has the leather, brembo brakes and the bose stereo, would this make it a UK car. I tried to copy it over but, couldn't. Its on Autotraders web sit for £6199 in Blade silver. I have agreed a price verbally.

Ask for the VIN number, UK starts with J and import Z33 I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mx5 Paul Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 I have just done a HPI check and they were able to tell me that it was first registered on Oct 2004 in the UK. Job done? UK its is then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Pretty sure that's a U.K car with a remote control birdview satnav, you can't even get a picture up on the Jap satnavs. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crb Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Couple of things my import has that gives it away that it's imported.... it doesn't have a mph on the speedo, it has square number plates, all the writing on signs like airbags and golf bag instructions are in Japanese. Granted these can be changed tho ....... If your not sure just ask the seller. It will also say on his log book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
