No warranty from Nissan UK, anything going wrong, you're on your own. Most likely insurance will be more expensive on an import (they'll claim parts more expensive blah blah). Probably more difficult to sell later as well. Give it 5-10 years, will be a different story. Right now the new Z doesn't have a lot of appeal considering alternatives for the same budget / power ratio.

Meh Over it. Get it cheaper used directly. Apparently no Custom Duty depending on which side of the bed HMRC wake up on. Nismos are going for £30,000 to £40,000 in Japan some are near new too. Add container then shipping costs. ST and lower trims are around £20,000 now. The following costs will be charged by the local agent when the process begins if you choose the Customs Clearance service. Delivery Order (D/O) Fee: £85.00 Terminal Handling Charge (THC): £125.00 Wharfage: £40.00 NOVA Fee: £45.00 Total: £295.00 These charges will be invoiced with VAT, along with the applicable customs charges, prior to the release of the vehicle from UK ports. All costs are subject to standard VAT. Customs duties and VAT are calculated as follows: Vehicles manufactured in Japan and shipped from Japan: 0% import duty + 20% VAT (Subject to HMRC Approval)

Great thread! I found some useful info about black/smoked lights suppliers in the UK. Check out rulevid.com for AI-powered video content.

I'd also prefer it with a manual as well I think.

Blimey, and that is expensive isn't it?

Probably next year, 2027. £62k, they're smoking crack.

I've read that this is becoming available in Europe this year, so that is good news I reckon.

Okay, more updates I had to replace AC compressor and condenser, which was not an easy job! Anyway, it is done and I have a working AC now. Replaced the power steering fluid as well while I am at it and that means ALL fluids are replaced now. I think I will skip the HKS alltogether. 120 is more than enough for me, even on the tracks I think I love my car a little too much, idk. Got OEM antenna and filler cap, both installed. But the biggest news is... I GIVE UP. I will start modifying the car little by little. Got the Eiback Pro Kit lowering springs, will install those whenever I have time. Will continue with the spacers. Then maybe bumpers and side skirts. Things done so far Major service at Nissan - NEVER again New tyres (Michelin Pilot Sport 5) Front bumper resprayed Headlights cleaned and restored - Needs doing again, looking to replace lens instead of cleaning this time. We'll see... Dashcam installed (Viofo A229 Plus, hardwired) Antenna replaced and base refinished - Chipping a little bit, what can I say, TEMU antenna A-pillar finisher replaced Door seal replaced Rear wiper arm cover replaced OEM Spoiler installed Spark plugs replaced - NGK Iridium IX Oil and filter changed again Front lower ball joints replaced Right knuckle (OEM) replaced Boot popper springs replaced with heavy duty Boot struts replaced New emblems fıtted New brake pads fıtted (EBC Yellowstuff) ATF changed ıncludıng the filter/screen. Motul multi ATF - 7 litres used Differential fluid changed. Genuine Nissan differential fluid used - a little less than 2 litres Break fluid changed - Motul RBF 660 brake fluid - around 1.7 litres used Full coolant flush - Genuine Nissan green coolant - around 7 litres Air filter replaced - K&N Long-life Air Filter Brake pads replaced - EBC Yellowstuff Power steering fluid replaced AC compressor and condenser replaced, gassed. Antenna replaced. Filler cap replaced To-Do (not in order) Lowering springs- bought, not fitted yet Spacers Bumpers Side skirts Aluminium undertray Polybush kit Headlight lens replacement - bought, not fitted yet Underbody rustproofing Rear strut is chipping a little bit, may replace it, may wrap it, idk probably replace at some point Decided to go with Brembo calipers in the future I need a clean auto knob. Older version.

Collection next weekend now.... I'll share my experiences 🙂

All the best on the new purchase, roof down motoring ready for the Summer 🥳

You may find this car to be a good option, but it needs some extra work, especially since rust could be an issue. If you choose the right services, it can be restored well. You can go for it, but keep one important thing in mind: checking every small detail before buying is a good idea. You can also hire a professional to inspect it.

Read your post. Thanks a lot for advise!

Thick bush up top ✅

Hi everyone, I’ve recently purchased the Whiteline KDT911 diff mount bushing kit for my Nissan 350Z. I’ve been doing some research and noticed a significant contradiction regarding the front ear bushings. Earlier forum discussions suggested that Whiteline’s old instructions were incorrect—placing the thinner bushings on top supposedly caused clunking noises and premature drivetrain/driveshaft wear due to poor pinion angles. I checked the latest manual on the Whiteline website, and it seems they have corrected this, now stating that the thicker bushings should be installed on top. However, most recent DIY videos on YouTube and Instagram still show people installing the thinner ones on top. I want to do this right the first time and avoid any vibrations or damage to my Z. Should I follow the updated Whiteline manual (thick on top) or stick to what most of the community is doing in videos? Also, can anyone confirm if I should completely discard the OEM top metal washers as per the new guidelines?

I've PM'd you Paul 👍

Hi Paul, Not Birmingham however there is a company in SevenOaks that specialise in vert roofs. Called Carhood warehouse. They did my wifes 350Z roof back in 2020.

Sorry but I no longer provide this service, I am afraid.

I have a Nissan 350Z 2007 convertible roof stopped working is there any body who is in Birmingham it would be a great help

Thanks Keith, will do. I did wonder if it was just some kind of heat shield. I pick the car up at the weekend, can't wait.... it's up in north Nottinghamshire and I'm in south-east Kent, so early train up and road trip back. Took a long drive there and back to view it last weekend. Fortunately it was worth it

That grotty tinwork in your photo that's rusting in layers is just a shield that goes from nearside to offside, just cut it off and throw it away. Its sole purpose appears to be to make MOT testers fail cars.

Hi can you tell me the cost for 5th Bow Actuator 2oo7 please and repair

Deposit paid, pick it up next week 😎

Did you buy it?

Hi everyone, the above warning lights came on this morning. The car appears the drive ok and the brake fluid level is just below max. Do anyone have any suggestions. (The TCS switch does nothing). Sorry for the upside down picture ( I'm not from Australia)
