I have likes and dislikes about the mk1 and the mk2, i like the mk1 because it is so rare but not keen on the seat's but that's just my opinion 

What are the other differences? Mk1 only available as an import? Only considered Mk2 as I prefer the look...

Just had a quick look at the red Nismo, here's what I think:

 

1. Car has been resprayed, door handles are body colour and blend very well, which tells me they were sprayed at the same time with the doors / other panels. From what I remember Nismos don't come in red, but I might be wrong.

2. DRLs are missing, sounds like a front crash, didn't want to replace these when rebuilding the car as they're expensive

3. Wheels have also been powdercoated, not the original finish. 

4. Front bumper doesn't align properly with the bonnet, could be an aftermarket / EuroCarParts bonnet or the it wasn't properly adjusted.

 

HPI check seems to pass, but could be an unrecorded accident. Needs a proper look and way better price. 

 

Good luck with the hunting.

Good points! Thanks

If you're keeping it OEM/OEM+ then I'm sure there's a few MK1 Nismo's on AutoTrader atm. They'll be good to go view. 

 

If you're going to mod it, then I'd say get a base/GT depending and mod that instead. I mean if you want to put a CAI, exhaust and springs/coilovers then the uprated OEM exhaust and suspension are wasted from the Nismo. 

I would keep OEM but the above mentioned advertised seemed to be for a reasonable price 

Not keen on the mk1 nismo and feel a base/GT would always fall short if you saw a nismo mk2, but are they worth the extra cash...

I picked up a 370z Nismo a couple of days ago and I also considered this one when buying. Personally, it had already had too much modified on it and I wanted something more original. 

 

I also echo ShortPaul's thought, seems a bit of a high price for what it is. 

 

There isn't a lot else around at that £20k range atm (i know because I've spent the past 4 months there haha) and I know its frustrating, but i'd wait a little more for another one to come up, as you'll probably get a better car for your money.

Rang up about this one .. The guy was not particularly helpful 

So turns out it was from down south... Horsham. Up to Scotland last year. Had four/five owners... He's closed with no access to a ramp as asked for pictures underneath as buying blind and a Nissan in Scotland 

Also look at the panel gap on the bonnet... Been off I reckon

Maybe to spray the red bits out of the splitter... Or to fix a crashu? 

Signs ain’t great and just did a mot history check

Hi and welcome along. Nice looking car, although decats will need a friendly mot tester 

Any suggestions where to find Mot passable cats?

Someone must have a pair of standard Nissan  ....

Anyone recognise it? Thanks in advance 

Hi All

Been considering a 370z nismo for a while now. I have the found following:
