Engin

I don’t have interior pics, unfortunately. It is in Japanese and no way to make it English other than swapping it.

I am not going to comment on that……

Ahaha that would be a really weird question at the border control post 🤣🤣

I am the relief official veterinarian in the area, there is no vet to cover me unfortunately 🤣

I have a shift at Southampton starting 12:00. I hate my life...

Convoy from South?

And that is with the lower tariffs... 15% for Japanese cars, 25% for EU cars to the USA. So with a rough estimate it should be around 73-74k if the tariffs were same as the EU for Japan.

Oopsie. Is this too low? spacers on the way

It is not a rumour, I imported mine late 2024 and duty was 2,5% instead of 10% due to it being a jap car manufacured in Japan. It is same for companies as well, as long as it is manufactured in Japan. It would be a different story for Japanese cars manufactured outside of Japan though.

Back to topic then sorry I am thinking more and more about the new Z, especially after the facelift. I am obsessed with 350, will never replace it with anything else, that is off the table for me. However, if Nissan was selling these here and I had the money, and I am not talking about life changing amount, like enough deposit to keep the monthly payments for finance around £300-£400 then I would buy it as the third car. One year ago, I wouldn't go near it. Idk, after seeing videos about it, and I know it is not perfect... I think I am more emotional when it comes to cars than rational

My postcode is fine, I got quotes much lower than them. I just don’t understand why they gave me quotes that high. This year their quote: £1,618.78 competitor: £580 last year their quote: £5,028.51 after phone call: around £6000 if I remember correctly competitor: ~£1400

I tried getting quotes from Adrian Flux three times so far, two for my 350z and one for Lexus, it was always at least twice more expensive than the others. I declared everything as same as I did for others but still... First year the quote I got was 4 times more expensive. Do you have any tips to get lower quotes? Maybe I was doing something wrong idk 😅

I've been working 6 to 7 days a week lately and simply didn't have time or the energy to visit locations. I think it is safe to say that I am a disappointment to the community and will commit seppuku as soon as possible. It may take a while, but I have not forgotten this post, and will do my best to gather the Zs in the south together. Just not today

F it. I’ve gone and bought the spacers as well, Eibach Pro-Spacer 20mm front and 25mm rear. Might as well do it properly if I’m going to modify the kitty. Yeah… that’s what I call her now. I’ve also contacted INGS about their N-spec body kit. It’s very expensive to import, but depending on the package size, I might just buy it and bring it back myself from Japan next year. We’ll see. I’ll attach the concept image below. That’s the dream at the moment. It might happen, it might not… who knows. But you’ve got to have a dream, right?

Okay, more updates I had to replace AC compressor and condenser, which was not an easy job! Anyway, it is done and I have a working AC now. Replaced the power steering fluid as well while I am at it and that means ALL fluids are replaced now. I think I will skip the HKS alltogether. 120 is more than enough for me, even on the tracks I think I love my car a little too much, idk. Got OEM antenna and filler cap, both installed. But the biggest news is... I GIVE UP. I will start modifying the car little by little. Got the Eiback Pro Kit lowering springs, will install those whenever I have time. Will continue with the spacers. Then maybe bumpers and side skirts.
