But thats exactly the comment im looking for I need to find any reason that may stop it actually happening.

Thanks for the pics 3FIDDYZ tha Who says I need to transport anything? An electrician needs a small tool bag with a snips, screw drivers and a few other bits and bob's the tool bag would be the siza of a small kit bag. Think of all the tradesmen who drive the country day after day in vanettes & van's carrying nothing more than a few bits and bobs

Thats what I thought. But If you can think of a reason why its not. Supra owners have been at it for years... Because the tax issue only with the larger engine cars and the 350 is a 2 seater with front engine. As most with an engine that big have mid/ rear engine's and may have 2 tiny rear seats. And that would drive up costs as you would need to convert it. Also can somone please take or post a picture of the inside of the rear side window on the 350, Just need to know is there amy form of B pillar

I actually just spent the last few hours looking at the in's and out's of this. And actually anyone looking to import from JAPland may want to have a look at this. Not quite sure if its the same in the UK as in Ireland. BUT heres the story. When you Register a car (VRT in Ireland) you pay 21% of value price which is given as €2,300 at the moment. Tax for the year on the engine is the hoghest tax band which is €2,100 a year. BUT With a commercial you pay 13.3% to register the car as its now a commercial. which would be €1,456 And tax for the year is €280 as its less than 3 tonnes. The law would require a flat bed fitted and the rear window completely tinted. I wouldnt need to change anything with the exterior of the car. Simply fit the flatbed right back to the speakers and away we go. Sounds plausable

hehehe EPIC

well would there be 2 options? Is it bolted in or welded to the chasis? If not leave it in. Im not going to use it as a van. So solid Plate along the floor(maybe wrap in in carbon fiber to give it the sporty track look) or lay carpet on it. 100% tint the two rear side mirrors and put a plate behind them. Tecnically a van then going from what I know (but then again thats very little ) Ill have a commercial. and have it insured for Social, Domestic & personal use. Best of both worlds. the drop in tax going from my 2L would make up for the insurance going up to the Z

the bit behind the speakers. You guys will probably try and kill me but im trying to see if it would be possably to do a VAN conversion. Because the 350 is a two seater you wouldnt notice a difference bar a few changes. I could shave off €1720 a year off road tax.

id prefer to buy it from an OC member. 2 reasons. ill know its been cared for and the previous owner can see that their once pride and joy is still being cared for

hopefully ill have between €10-€13k to buy a car. the 350z is €2300 to register on irish roads. so that means id have MAX £10k to spend. Jap or UK model I dont mind. Modified or OEM I dont mind. Also a huge favour can somone please post a pic of the space behind front seats of the 350, I know the cars a 2 seater but i want to figure something out.

nope. i'm living in Ireland so they will both be imported. How many different models are there? three?

Thanks guys, intro is up. Is there much difference between uk & jap spec 350's im guessing insurance is easier to get on the uk model

thanks martin

do you want to share maybe?

hey everyone is there somewhere on the site that shows the spec of all the models of the 350?

Hi everyone, Iv joined up to see what is out there. Im considering buying a 350z in the next while so looking to see what i can get for up to 10k. Looking forward to getting to know you all. D
