Stefan

Thank You all for your warm Welcome and there are few pictures of my Supra N/A as requested.

Sweeeet mate! I like the mods on the last pic especially

Thanks for the welcome guys! Much appreciated, they are great cars Lexx and I thought I'd share a picture of her for you all

oooh, she's nice mate!

So my agenda for tommorrow is take my T reg 1.8 petrol Focus (bit of a jump?) then spend the next few hours grinning like a chimp until I require food, drink or to void my bladder.

 

You forgot the one item of your agenda that is guaranteed. ................................................More Petrol !!!!

 

 

 

Welcome to the club!

lol

Hello and !! :wave:

Pics?

Was dropping my mate home today and saw this parked outside his neighbors house.I spoke to the owner for a while and he had no idea about this website, told him there was some good traders and information on here so look out for him! The car was wrapped white, single exit exhaust a few bits in the interior and had a massive 13" wide rears! looked nuts

 

I felt ashamed and the need to spend a lot of money after seeing mine next to his

Meh, it looks original, but wouldn't want that on my Z... yours looks much better mate IMHO!

Hey mate, welcome! Congrats on your Z, she sounds stunning!

Hey all... just bought myself a 350Z from the UK and am currently having it shipped to Malta... will hopefully have it by Monday... can't wait!

 

I know this is meant to be a UK only forum, but there's no such forum in Malta (and no point in there being one since there are no 350Z's anyway)... so I hope you all have no objection for me to be a member here

the zed looks well nice m8,

Thanks mate

mate! Yep, I've just bought a Z myself, and having browsed online saw quite a few within that price bracket!

Goodluck in your search

Can't help you much I'm afraid since I'm a n00b myself... so I'll let the elders reply... which they do pretty promptly

Hi Stefan & to the forum.

Thanks, and thank you all for the very nice greetings! Btw... your 350's look stunning! Have to get around to make mine as shiny

Spoke to the freight people this morning, my Z is sitting on a transporter currently travelling from Bristol all the way to almost Rome... can't wait! Should have it in Malta by Monday

by the way Stef what engine are you fitting in the 7? I had a 2ltr pinto in mine but would have gone for a zetec.

I got the car with a Kent, so I ordered a custom bell housing to fit in a 1.3L Fiesta Zetec-S... this will make registration far easier. My plan is to swap it out with a 1.7L Zetec-SE engine (the one used for the Puma) once I get the registration process done.

Just finished wiring up the ECU, but have not been able to spend much time on it as of late, since I'm working on a contract in Saudi Arabia, which is keeping me away from the garage

Hello and Welcome, was over there last October and probably be there again this year

Nice! Ping me when you're around... we can sample some Maltese beer

i am coming to Malta at the end of june for a week.i ll defo keep a look out for you.

 

 

welcome aboard

That's great! Pm me closer to the date and maybe we can get together for a beer or so

 

Some of the taxes are bleeding criminal abroad! Thomas Sorensen told us that the initial tax on a 350 in Denmark is 120%, then 25% VAT ........hope that makes you feel a bit better!

 

Looks too

Yeah, Malta used to charge Vat on registration tax too a few years back... Now they stopped that for cars with more than 6k miles, andinstead they charge registration tax based on emissions, car value, power and some other secret variables

Unfortunately the Z fits in the higher brackets for all of these.

Re Danish taxes, my Danish workmate told me about those... And there's some other country at 200%! That's criminal!

Thankfully the Danish also have some pretty good salaries

Welcome to the forum, my favourite place Malta As I was stationed there in the Royal Navy in the 70s.

That is so nice to hear! Thank you what is the yellow car btw? Looks similar to a car i'm building... A lotus 7 kit from tiger in my case

 

Hope it gets there in one piece!

Lol i sure hope so too

Welcome to the forum mate I'm new here myself

I love Malta. Good job they've had the roads rebuilt since joining the EU otherwise you'd be sticking to a 4x4. I haven't been able to get ove to Malta for 3 years now. Used to got every year since 1998 for scuba diving.

 

I think Malta has lost a little character since having the roads repaired!

 

How come you didn't decide to drive the car over? TomTom can route the whole journey now. It would have been a great drive in a Z.

I agree that it has lost some character... I also am glad it did in a way since at least we have 'some' good roads now Country roads are still rubble though.

I really wanted to drive it all the way over, but unfortunately I am a software contractor and am currently stuck on a contract till June... so no spare time

Hi and welcome to the forum. I love Malta but the roads there would scare me in a zed.

Lol, I sure don't blame you I do have another car for daily use, since as you say, the roads here are mostly crap

Welcome Stefan, nice to have you on board...

 

Do you have any pics of the car you've bought, or any further info?

 

Thats a big comitment importing a car... did you come to the UK to view it?

Yep, after running the full suite of HPI checks and Odometer tests, I flew up to Yorkshire and spent the weekend driving around the UK.. hit Cheshire, Liverpool, Stratford, Leamington spa and finally Bristol, where I left it in a warehouse (was very painful).

I'll attach a pic of what the car looks like right now... though I've got plans to have plans for it hehe ... once I know more what the limits are.

The worst part is the import tax in Malta, since it's literally 100% of the price I bought it in the UK ... otherwise I'd have gone for a 370Z... though I think I still prefer the 350

Hey all... just bought myself a 350Z from the UK and am currently having it shipped to Malta... will hopefully have it by Monday... can't wait!

I know this is meant to be a UK only forum, but there's no such forum in Malta (and no point in there being one since there are no 350Z's anyway)... so I hope you all have no objection for me to be a member here
