Few weeks ago there was red one for sale at 24k...Wait till September October...Prices are silly...Some just sitting there at a silly prices

 

Problem with white if you get a prang the paint will be mismatched as its 3 stage paint..... only so much blending they can do. Id buy an electronic paint tester. All panels should be close in paint thickness if it hasnt had a repair or filler. Little trick i learnt from BCA...

Thanks for the advice!

Had a look through the forum and the one I posted used to be owned by a member on here, Kharmon, by the looks of it but no build thread so probably won't ever find out why the leds were removed! 

Looking to buy by September so will hold off for just now and see what comes up!

Not seen a white one in person but happy to travel for a car and seen a few in white down south to go look at in the next few weeks.🙂

Thanks all, agree with what you say so walked away. Shame as it's the only red one I've seen for sale and quite preferred it to the white!

I don't see anything on the inner black strip of the lights, were the DRL's halo lights? Were they circular/ring like you get on the older BMWs? 

They were yes.

It doesn't look like it. But if you go and look at it you will be able to turn them on and look. My original reply was they might have been taken out as they're really expensive to replace. They might have got damaged or just stopped working. So they were removed.

Thanks. I went to view it earlier and was really nice. Just had some niggling queries so thought I'd check in with a forum since I don't know much about Nissans. When he switched the car on the DRLs came on in the headlight unit, could be aftermarket though I guess?

It still has DRLs within the headlight unit, which is what originally made me question the authenticity. 

Thanks all for the responses.

Hi all,

Looking to buy a 370z Nismo and went to see this one which is local to me. It has a few modifications and I was wondering if it's possible to know whether it is a genuine nismo or a replica? Can you tell via vin or logbook? Link below.
