Always good to keep the oem exhaust incase.

Unfortunately the original Nismo exhaust likes to disintegrate from within from all that corrosion.

Good to see Z owners in Europe where German cars dominate.

There is a small but significant group of JDM enthusiast in western Germany. Mostly Subaru, but I have seen some nice Silvias and Skylines.

Ever got to the biggest Z meet in Europe held in Germany

Which one? The one at CTD? I usually stay away from Z only meets in Germany. I prefer meets with higher diversity 😉. 

Thanks for the warm welcome. I realized I don’t have any recent pictures of the car. No car meets because of Covid and all…

I’ll try my best to accomodate the need tho 😅

Hi,

I am looking for a right hand drive door key cylinder assembly. The actual lock cylinder is not needed as I am going to use my own lock cylinder.

On the picture I have marked the part in question (the image does show left hand drive, I am looking for right hand drive).

Unfortunately I cannot order the part directly from Nissan as it is not sold without the lock cylinder and my VIN decodes to LHD. I also cannot scavenge that part from a local scrapyard because I am not in the UK.

So if you sell your Z for spares or would scavenge that part for me from a local scrapyard please message me!

Thanks 💗

Hi everyone,

My name is Josh and I am a 2014 Z34 Nismo (generally referred to as the V1) owner. I am currently living in Western Germany where I also purchased the car.

Some specs on my car:

• original white / gunmetal paint scheme
• stock engine
• went thru a couple of exhausts, most notably
  • Tomei Expreme TI with titanium Y-Pipe (to this day still my favorite, but unfortunately authorities are cracking down on illegal exhausts here)
  • street legal custom-built HK Power exhaust from Holger Kern, basically a stainless true dual 3" with muffled h pipe and dual HKS Hi Power stainless mufflers with 30mm titanium tip set up in a JDM style angled configuration (angled to the outside and slightly up)
• basic cosmetic mods, including
  • front car plate holder delete
  • rear wiper delete

I have a pretty decently outfitted garage and do most of the maintenance work myself. I would not call myself a very good mechanic, but I can get most of the easy stuff done. I am incredibly lazy, which is the biggest issue with getting stuff done (still need to change the headers on my truck 🤦‍♂️).

I own 2 additional cars: a decently modded Genesis Coupe 3.8L V6 AT (Bilstein B14, Schmidt Revolution rims, Bastuck stainless exhaust) and a bone stock Nissan Titan LE 5.6L V8. I bought the Genesis for my wife as a daily driver, but she never drives it.

I am currently trying to retrofit my Nismo to swap in original 2018 gunmetal gray JDM door handles (the cast aluminum ones). In EU/NA we only get the plastic matte silver or 2018 dark chrome handles. This turned out to be a little more difficult than anticipated (key locking cylinders ftw) and I am mainly here to source parts that I need.

Thanks for having me and have a great weekend!
