Jem_17 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'm looking to buy a Nissan 350z Nismo, I have no interest in Z's with a replica body kit on, I'm after the real thing no more than 70k on the clock, clean and tidy, with all docs present, and completely factory standard including the upgrades the Nismo comes with. After hunting around the internet for about a month or 2 I can't find an actual Nismo anywhere! Apart from one which sold within 4 hours of being advertised a few weeks ago! Just testing the water on here to see if anyone's got one for sale or will do in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Was no Nismo edition released in the UK. We could only get Nismo extras like the bodykit or exhaust for example, but no 350z Nismo like there is with the 370. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem_17 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'm not sure that's totally correct but I could be wrong.. I was supposed to go and look at one it had the nismo branded rays alloys, factory standard uprated suspension that comes on nismos, nismo branded exhaust... and it had 's-tuned' branded in the engine Bay Area, according to the net the nismo S tuned edition does exist as a UK car, released in 2005 But I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nismo branded alloys are LMGT4's which quite a few members have, beautiful wheels The suspension was an optional extra I believe and very few people happen to have them due to the £1500 price tag and no adjustability. The exhaust was also as optional extra which quite a few went for and still try to order from dealer. Sounds good As for the S-tune thing, I'm pretty sure S-tune was JDM or USDM, can't remember which, but definitely not UKDM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Neither Nismo exhaust nor suspension were ever available in the UK officially........all you could order from new was Nismo Aero kit and Nismo Wheels.......anything else had to be ordered from Japan or USA......

GMballistic Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 From what I remember reading once about the 350Z Nismo they where only produced in Japan and where never officially sold in the UK. Although I have read that Nissan Motors GB did import ONE S-Tune GT 350Z Nismo. Very doubtful you'll ever see that one for sale though.

Jem_17 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Could any of you recommend a decent kit that isn't as pricey as the genuine nismo one, that still fits well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudman Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Jem not being funny but your down as 19 on your profile - have you looked at insuring/being insured for a 350z ? especially a Nismo tuned beast ! Edited July 16, 2014 by Mudman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem_17 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yeah had a look already, I checked that before I bothered looking for one, it's round £950-1000, I was surprised, I've done 4 or 5 quotes and got that so I guess it's correct! All comes down to safety of the car and all sorts, and it's not common for someone my age so I guess that helps I guess being a 2 seater aswell lowers the risk which lowers insurance a little!
