Good afternoon Ladies and Gents, I am sorry this post has probably been asked before but i have just contacted my local nissan dealer and asked for coolant, gearbox oil and diff oil. They were unable to help as they said that there charts wouldn't show due to the car being an import. i gave over the Reg and Chassis number but this still didnt help as there are quite a few choices. I know there are a could of different types of diff oil due to the LSD if i am current i have no idea how to tell which is correct. Please help peeps :). Regards, Nick

Thank you buddy i will do that

Good evening everyone. Well after a long time of searching i have found a 350Z that luck enough close to me. She is a JDM import 2004 with the nismo kit. She has a couple of issues but due to the age i wouldn't expect any less. I want to get the below parts on order i believe there is a couple trader on the forum that a bit of discounts to members. I want to give the old girl a good service all fluids i believe from what i have ready they people recommend Nissan fluids other than engine oil. Oil i was going to purchase Castrol edge 5W30 would people recommend this i have used it in my other JDM cars. Transmission oil with molyslip Diff oil coolant With regards to oil filter, fuel filter and spark plugs what brands would people recommend or could you go to euro car parts to get the brand Mann and Bosch for example. Thank you guys for taking the time to read and help so glad i am on the way to have a 350Z been after one for years ;).

Hello All, After finding a lovely 350z that i was going to look at i was the 2nd in the que and missed out as it was bought. No surprise really as it really was a lovely looking 350. So i am now on the look for another. So If you have a pre 2006 and are thinking of parting with your 350z I have 5K max to play with. Please send me a PM with a photo, price and spec .

Hi Mikey, Thank you for this i have found out that the car was registers in Ireland before the UK so that explains it

Hello All, I am hoping to go have a look at a 350Z this weekend but i need a bit of advise. When i have a look at the direct gov website to check the mot history it matches the service history which is great however the record only goes back to 2013. the car is a 2003 plate and isnt an import i have never seen this before.

Well it seems like it will cost more to import than It would to get a uk model. I believed from importing last time it would be a lot cheaper.

yeah you are possibly right here I will have a think and see what happens but it will probably be a UK model. I thought they might do a deal as my brother was looking to import also so that would be 2 cars they would get in one go. I have also emailed JM-import and Torque GT just waiting on a response.

I think the company was DCY up north.

I contacted a Importer on Sunday and just hear from them and they wanted £6000 for the 350Z which I thought was about right. I then said ok I could do something like that then there was a but. It will cost you for the car in total £8000 all duty's and everything paid. I said I could by a low mileage on in the uk for less that £8000 so I will be knocking that on the head. I bought a Toyota starlet from japan for £3000 now 7 years ago not so good ones were going for that sort of money you had to pay £5000 for a good one. Now I went to a company and said I want a starlet with body kit, wheels, lowered, exhaust and a few other bits. Now they found one and bided for it and it cost me £3000 no more no less. Now this company say regardless on car it will cost you £6000 even if the car was free it would still cost that much so if that is the case I am going to stay away from importing as that is not how I remember it being.

It is running a 351 Cleveland ford mustang v8. it was built for the drag strip but it is also road legal

Thank you very much

Are people getting different mpg if it is an import over a UK model?

The 350Z would take over from the Honda. She is still a good car but she is getting a little old now.

When I bought the manta at the start of the year it looked like his a very sorry state for herself. Now this is her now My everyday car is this beauty

Hello All, Just wondering what MPG you all are getting in from your 350Z and how much does it cost to fill the tank and how many miles do you get to the tank.

Thank you all very much for the help and advise I am still in to minds about importing. My brother will be importing a civic type r and I was thinking of doing the same its all about finding the right importer.

yeah I will keep my eye out on forum and in the uk. I didn't know she was chain driven but that should last the life of the engine.

Ha ha ha that's me looking like a noob well that a part of my bill saved well waterpump needs to be changed.

Thank you for the welcome. I am looking into getting one as I currently have a 1996 Honda integra type r which is awesome and a newly restored 1973 opel manta v8 .

The only downside with imports is it does take a while to see the car but once it is here you will love it.

Well going back to topic thank you very much for all your help peaps . I am very grateful to all on this topic, I really love these cars they are sexy looking and sound amazing. I have to say this is one of the helpfulest forums I have joined as I asked one question and within about an hour I have over 15 replies. The reason I am thinking import is you have a better rang for your money and as I have imported before it is good but you have to find the right company as I didn't the first time. I got a Toyota Starlet turbo which I loved don't get me wrong but wasn't happy with the company and it says it all as it is no longer going. With imports you give them the amount you want to spend and what you want the car to come with and then that's it you carry on as normal and they will find you the correct car for you. There are so many more cars to look at from japan on the auction sites than I have currently seen in the UK. So what I am looking for I have listed below but am I right the only problem with having a 350Z import is the insurance? Now what I am planning is to spend between £5500 to £6000 with the below spec maybe lower if they are more cheaper than uk spec's 2002 to late 2005 for the cheap tax 60000KM or less Nice alloy wheels Full exhaust Perhaps a body kit but must have a rear wing Once imported it will have. Service including cam-belt and waterpump (must) MOT and TAX Warranty All of the above will be within the price it is now down to finding the right importer but there are a couple but not In my neck of the woods all are up north.

Hello All, I am new to the 350Z seen. I am thinking about changing my current 1996 Honda Integra Type R and getting a Nissan 350Z. I have had my eye on this car for a little while but wondered what they are like to own. I would get one more than likely imported from Japan so f anyone else has done this I could really do with your in put. what sort of things to watch out for is there anything soporific you have to do at any point with them

Good Afternoon All, I am new to the site and thought would come on and say hello. Nick
