-G-

I must admit I missed all the furore on social media as I was enjoying dinner and walking dead with the other half - but apparently this happened. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberdeenshire/848892/explained-might-caused-massive-flash-light-skies-scotland/ There are two videos on the go showing it over 100 miles apart. So apart from the stated assumption it was a meteor exploding - What do YOU think it was?

Anyone on here? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RAYS-Nismo-LMGT4-Alloys-Wheels-Rims-5x114-3-18x9-5-12-R32-R33-R34-180sx-S14-S15-/141916163252?

I see more GTR's than anything else with Big Power- a big reason why I decided against buying a GTR - at least for the moment :-) Would still love an exact replica of the Top Secret Time Attack Car though

I see Z33 & Z34 all the time up in Aberdeen. A lot of friends see me without me seeing them - which might say more about how I drive than anything else ;-)

Seller is actually a trader on here. Rick at Racecarparts. If he's selling them it will be genuine. As for the price, ask him yourself :-)

+1 on the hairdryer. Do not under any circumstance use a heat gun or anything sharp to help lift the decal. Be patient with it and it'll come off with no issues.

Are you in Scotland or England? If Scotland, ignore it. Do not respond to it. Do not pay it. They will not take you to court over it as the laws over parking are very different and even if they did, consumer law dictates that the owner of the car park can only seek financial redress equivalent to what a paying customer would have paid and even then, only if the car park was full at the time you used it, which I'm betting they aren't. £100 for an overstay that in real terms costs £1 an hour? That'd be ****ing right! England...? God knows.

The Evora S comes in Orange doesn't it?

Certainly is When are you picking up the Nismo? Once the Approval is done. Not rushing it though, asking for trouble otherwise.

Can tell by the photo background that's a JM Imports car :-)

Lol in Aberdeen especially, that's a statement of truth!

Toms 370z was remapped at Dynatune after he fitted a stillen supercharger - as Jeff already said - he was more than happy with the results. There's a video of it online somewhere. I'd be interested in a Rolling Road day at some point to see what power the 380 kicks out, even though I don't plan on messing with the Autech map. We are quite limited for choice up north, but didn't Jumzo register his interest in a TSG rolling road day recently?

Paperwork required to register non OEM cars are a ballache. TDN numbers, Nissan factory, autech factory, omori factory. Sheesh. It's easier to smuggle in heroin than it is to register a limited run JDM only car in the UK.

I've seen photos of your car and I'm satisfied its a version nismo. Is it a 380rs, though? A picture of an engine plaque detailing what number of the 300 will help. Additional snaps of the engine cowling, steering wheel, gearknob & handbrake will prove it beyond a doubt.

If it's a genuine 380RS, take a photo of the nismo plaque in the engine bay. It'll look something like this. That's from a 380RS in this country - kind of disproving your other point about yours being the only one.

I was indeed - stuck in town waiting for a rescheduled haircut. 4 ****ing hours.

So my friends are back in Tokyo right now at a late night car meet and I'm totally not jealous...

Zeds need to be slammed so suspension all day long for me. Even if your car has no power upgrades or fancy wheels, lowering it instantly makes it look more attractive. In truth, once I've sold my Black Zed I'll be the antithesis of Zeditus. I plan on keeping whitey as gloriously stock as the day she rolled off the Omori assembly line.

Already been fully discussed here; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/104454-lambo-doors/page__fromsearch__1 Forum remains divided on it.

[quote name='Jetpilot' timestamp='1455696432' post='1587367'] Its a shame the exchange rate with Japan is so volatile or we might have started seeing a more steady stream of imports, late last year it was 179 yen to the £, its back down to 160 now, makes quite a difference when your talking a few million yen to buy a r35. [/quote] When I was frequenting Japan back in 2007/8/9 the exchange rate was 220 yen to the £ - when I came home it had dropped to 120. Scary how quickly affordable things became unaffordable when your income is based on forex.

I do a trawl every few days to see what cars are hitting which price-points and found this. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/used-cars/nissan/gt-r/used-nissan-gt-r-3-8-v6-premium-edition-2dr-reading-fpa-201601190214978?atcido=soc-cars-twt001 Cat D with a write up on why the insurance wrote it off - would require following-up on obviously but at that price it's officially the lowest I've seen a GT-R be offered for. Before anyone jumps in reminding me of the pitfalls of buying a sub £40k GT-R, let me save you the hassle of repeating yourself/others and direct you to the last discussion where it was aired fully. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/104663-what-would-you-buy-for-gtr-money/

Not seen ANY 370z's as low as this before http://www.autotrader.co.uk/used-cars/nissan/370-z/used-nissan-370-z-3-7-gt-2dr-cheltenham-fpa-201602130996809?atcido=soc-cars-twt001 Dunno about the state of the car, but if its OK, this is a steal for someone.

You're right but unfortunately the cult of skylines as it exists will die with this generation. The skylines built today have been returned to the luxury saloon class they once came from and as of current writing, are a strictly a japan-only enterprise. The Z does have an international following but its far more muted I'll agree - time will tell how well it will endure and whether it will flourish or die.

Headlight indicator? Maybe it was crash damaged? Good spot though

I certainly don't expect to lose any money with it - Nismo only made a handful of nissan cars into "Complete Cars" and the 380RS takes its place next to the R34 Z Tune & R33 400R - two of the rarest and most desirable skylines around. http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/complete/
