Great, cheers bud! Will drop him an IM!

Yeah exhaust would be the first thing! First years tax was a shock! As was the £485 for every year following í ½í¸³ Way too soon to be thinking about mods but I don't suppose my spacers and eibach springs would be transferable to the 370?

That's not true. There are only 400ish mk1s in the world. So unless there are only 1000 370z globally I think your numbers are wrong. I believe there are around 65 in the UK. Also, if you're putting 2k down on a 38k car, maybe it's not the best thing .... Yeah I was gonna say those numbers seem way off? Would have thought the percentage of Nismo models was very low! I'd be putting down at least 4k! He did say he'd email me the figures but not had them yet to have another look over!

For anyone with a new 370 on finance, would you mind giving me some rough idea of the plans your on? Deposit and monthly payments?

Yeah he is just going to hand his back at the end of the term for a new model I guess! That's what I'm sure the guy quoted me on the Nissan because he did mention a baloon payment of £15k to keep it. Also, now you mention it my mates deal may be over 4 years, but still of its the same type of finance then still seems a strange difference in payments!

I think he said around £15k? Said something like that would be the baloon payment/guaranteed valueat the end of the 3 years if that makes sense?

Currently have a 10 year old 350z GT and tbh I've never once been tempted to change it as the next sensible step would be a 370 or similar and I've never really liked them, that was until I sae a White Nismo in the flesh this weekend and I've now fallen in love with this http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201410248473328/sort/pricedesc/radius/1501/latitude/51.45387966805501/longitude/-3.176984002178709/make/NISSAN/model/370Z/price-from/500/page/1/usedcars Rang them up to speak to the dealer and they quoted me around £600 a month over 3 years with my contribution of £4k and a contribution of £1.5k from them on PCP. Anyway, I don't fully understand car finance but a friend of mine recently bought a brand new £32k BMW 2 series and with his deposit of £1k his payments are £385 a month. Am I missing something here? Surely there's shouldn't be that big a difference? Is £600 a month what people usually pay for finance on new cars? It's almost as much as my mortgage 😢

I'll have a search now then cheers! Yeah, reading from the video desc. it sounds like some fabrication and relocation of the hangers needed! I did this about a year ago. Sounds awesome. I got the exhaust 2 years old for £50 on the GTR forum. Check my posts for video and pictures Awesome, cheers mate! Just read up on another thread of someone who ahas done the same. Is it just the backbox you have or the centre section too? How much fabrication work was involved and if you don't mind me asking (assuming someone else did it for you) how much did it cost you in labour to have it fitted? Yes it came as back box with long center section (all one piece) and 4 chrome tips. I dropped it off at a custom exhaust garage at 9am and picked it up at 3pm at a cost of £200 I think. The center pipe on the gtr pipe was chopped off and the backbox welded to the 350z center pipe. The exits pipes where chopped off the gtr pipe, shortened and welded back on as it's insane how wide the exhaust is! When it's finished it fits perfectly where the standard pipe sits. Sounds more aggressive with no drone and the big tips look great. What's not to love. Thanks for th info bud, that's great! Very good value then if it cost you £250 all in! I'm still trying to decide between this option and a custom exhaust from a local place but gonna have a browse on the GTR forum now to see if any are for sale! I got mine from a guy on the GtR forum who had 3 of them. Since I fitted mine two other people have asked me about it and bought the guys remaining exhausts. So there are plenty out there, just some people seem to want ridiculous money for them. Best of luck! Damn! I think I've just messaged that same guy and if the other 2 you spoke to bought them then I'm guessing his reply is going to be that he has none left Will keep any eye out for more though! Cheers mate!

Damn! I hate you! Stumbled on your thread as I was looking into GTR exhausts and now I've added the sidesteps, rear bumper, spoiler and a front lip from my maybe list to my NEED list Car looks epic mate, sits perfectly and all the extras are vast improvements without going over the top. OEM++ I guess! One of my favourites on here up there with Wasso's! Quick question, do you have any problems with speedbumps with the lip,sidesteps or exhaust? Mine is lowered 30mm too (although on 18" Rays) and I hit every single one of them horrible little black and yellow rubber type speed bumps I come across

Looking for a new exhaust so was browsing the net and came across this. I'm sure it's been discussed before. What are peoples thoughts? I actually really like it! Can pick up a used cat back GTR for around £350 on eBay. Not sure if the one in the vid would just be the cat back though?

Cheers both! Yeah Charlie has a great rep locally so happy to trust him with the work, it's just always difficult to know if you're going to like an exhaust note without hearing an example on another car first. From what Charlie says that he can tailor the noise quite well if I describe to him what I want to may just take the plunge

Recently had them to replace my Y pipe due to a ruined flexi. I'm now considering a new centre section and back box from them as they will probably be cheaper than a ready made brand one. Has anyone ever had one from them on a 350? Just wondering if people were happy with the noise? Same question goes for other similar cutom places such as longlife and powerflow (welsh coast customs in Newport)? Cheers

Are the replica's difficult to come by? Your modified one looks awesome with that exhaust, looks OEM but much better!

After reading your build thread I'm desperate for your rear bumper Pretty much perfection as far as a Z goes! The modified one is a Chargespeed replica is it?

Cheers mate! Currently on a training course so gives me something to do The rear bumper in your sig is a chargespeed one is it?

Wasso, have you got a build thread? Without sounding dodgy, I love your rear end! Haha!

Is this the front lip? http://www.knightracer.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=35_43&product_id=1396 From your picure it looks fairly similar in shape to a mines lip? Not as big as the c west one? Could it be made to fit perfectly do you think?

Yeah I thought that might be the case, I've had the centre off in the past which isn't too difficult anyway! Cheers mate!

Sorry, below the 3 gauges and just above the headunit. Not sure what the proper name for it would be?

Cheers! If I can get hold of one, are they easy enough to take out? The lid on it's own that is!

The pop up lid on the little cubby hole just below the 3 dials on my centre console is looking very tatty Is it easy enough to replace just the little pop up door or would I need to chnage the whole centre console panel? Either way, am I best just going to a scrappy on eBay or something for a replacement? Cheers

I'll take it otherwise!
