Car looks great but IMHO that front wheel geometry looks a bit excessive.

Ford Cortina MK2 1500GT, Ford Cortina MK3 2000GT, Toyota MR2 MK1, Renault 5 Turbo, Ford Escort XR3i, Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi, Honda Civic Type R FN2,  Focus RS Mk2, Vauxhall (Holden) VXR8, Vauxhall Corsa VXR (Stage 2) and then Nissan 370Z.

I wanted a Z4 M3 coupe but too expensive considering age/mileage.

Just tried a quote for my 2017 370Z

Age 61

Clean licence

9+ years Protected NCD

Parked on driveway overnight

Quote from LV - An incredible £975 which didn't seem to vary much by increasing the default excess.

I think I'll stay with Hasting Direct.

If you return to my original post I ask for a loom connector (for a trunk release switch) with tails and yet we have 20 questions.

I have a switch can you supply the loom connector with tails?

I am beginning to think you are just playing around with me?

If you can’t help that’s not a problem either but just tell me you can’t help.

Yes, Loom switch connector with wire tails.

If you can help please PM about cost and postage.

To recap I already have a switch but until I tackle the installation I am unsure if I need a switch mounting plate (as shown in your picture) for a 370Z centre switch installation.

Yes, switch and tails. The switch I have has no mounting plate.

If I don’t need the mounting plate in your picture for a 370 then I just need tails as I have already purchased the switch.

Hope that makes sense.

I need a loom connector with wire tails to connect to a Nissan Trunk Release Switch used on the GTR, 2018 370Z and others Part number 25380JF00A.

the switch has a total of 4 contacts.

I messaged several days ago to negotiate a price including postage and best payment method for both of us, only to be told multiple people had already expressed an interest.

Clearly this appears to be untrue IMHO.

I will therefore publicly offer under the asking price -  £700 including postage.

ONE HUNDRED AND TEN QUID FOR SOME MATS TO RUB YOUR DIRTY FEET ON

 

WTF ARE YOU KIDDING ME

I also bought the Nismo mats for somewhat more than £110 because the current OEM 370 Nissan mats are a joke - Stuck on felt "370Z".

If the "370Z" on the mats were still embroidered I would have happily used them.

Everyone has their own opinion.

 

Did Papa Smurf or Girnet say this???

At the end of the day depreciation was NOT a factor when I purchased a 370Z, so for me depreciation is irrelevant.

I am personally surprised this topic has dragged on for four pages and still going.

What do you think the value of your car is now? Just trying to get an idea of drop if any.

AS my car has only done 4700 miles I really don't know but I guarantee if you are not a cash buyer its down to what you are intending to PX for. I expect my car to depreciate and after owning two Vauxhall's I am used to having my pants pulled down when its time for a newer car.

How much were 2016 base models going for a year ago? I had mainly been looking at earlier models. 

Last year I bought a 2017 Base model (ex demo 370 miles) for £24k. Was happy with that as their PX value on a Corsa VXR (2015 15k miles) was very generous.

I purchased a 18 plate 370z for less than your mentioned 23k direct from Nissan - I suspect im not helping the residuals - I was pushed hard towards the GT and the Nismo but stood my ground - got a base spec red one with black accents - 21.5k  

Price Tanking???  I think not.

The cheapest 2016 Base model with 14000 miles is £21.5k. on Ebay

I will cross the Ark off my non Nismo list. Very poor fit

Am I missing something? He’s not claiming it’s an HR?

The dealer states "This is the face lift V6 300 model known to push 306BHP @ 6800RPM from factory. Not to be mistaken with a standard 350z. The raised/bulging bonnet is a dead giveaway." 

Personally I would rather have the original Nismo 370Z spoiler Rennan don't do it for me. In the last picture it looks to me like the base mounts are rivetted/bolted.

Also the top mount/spoiler fitment doesn't seem quite right as the gap has variance over the profile of the wing.

Too Ricer/tacky IMHO.

Do you have any interest in a 370Z version?

I bought one of THESE a while back, can anyone shed any light on when these were supplied with new Z's?

Perhaps I am wrong but I thought the reduced VED (£140) was a result of paying a large extra sum when purchasing the car new.

I couldn't help myself it had to go.

Hey Ranj, nope not running decat, I will do a rev up video and a cold start video so you can hear the noises and will drop a couple more pics on after work tomorrow.

I am not running decat either, sgtarg's picture perfectly illustrates how much too far the tips stick out on a non Nismo

Do you have any images and videos buddy? 

None so far. Buddy.

My base model was registered on March 28th 2017 but I got it for £24k as as 370 mile demo car so swings and roundabouts. £540 sucks though.

Mine arrived at around 1pm today.

Having watched a YouTube video for an AAM short tails install they took me around an hour to fit.

The noise levels are fine and a tremendous improvement over standard, not too loud either, in fact the drone I anticipated at motorway speeds is inaudible due to tyre noise.

Sometimes I can be too picky so fitment wise I would say they fit OK but not quite 100% perfect. On the downside they stick out much further than the standard exhaust on a non Nismo, no doubt because they are a universal fit for Nismo & non Nismo.

Also my car only has two exhaust hangers for the back box (One on each side) so the third hanger (See Ebay pictures) is totally unused. I considered neatly cutting it off but decided to leave it on as it can't be seen under normal circumstances.

Overall a big improvement over standard and compared to AAM resonated Short Tails significantly cheaper.
