N15MNO-Daron

WOW.. thanks for the quick responses! Was ordered from a reliable source US for £750 total (incl tax and duty) was v good price and sent to me by UPS.. they obviously bumped it somewhere and im sure its insured. The seller kindly offered me a completely new system free of charge.. (i assume il have to send the old one back even if he pays for the postage..maybe a hassle) He also kindly offered me $250 refund if i install it and keep it... im thinking this might be better.. as u all said it probably wont be noticed as its on opposite side of the nismo word.. What do u think? refund $250 or go to the trouble of getting new one free of charge?

Im still hopeful we can turn this around.. anyone who's following this up , you have my full support.. anything i can do to help.

Had this nismo exhaust sent to me.. was VV pleased to ses the box arrive...however when opening i found 3' wide 0.5' deep dent in the backbox!!! (on opposite side of the Nismo word) Does anyone know if this might cause problems ..such as a weak spot which might reduce the life of the exhaust? or reduce performance at all?? Photo of the dent below:

Youre just jealous

Keep us updated! Interested to know what other extras might be o nthe car that they didnt mention about I also heard that ~JDM Z's have 10 bhp more than the UK versions

Jesus.. if he added 19's and leather interior.. i wonder what other things he added... i bet the previous owner went nuts on optional extras GOOD BUY! ... why wud u worry abt 20 bhp? Not sure where i heard it now.. but i was told the ST and S version had stiffer suspension as they are the sports versions (well ST has best of both worlds).

Why wud u go for the Base model?? I got the S version... sports pack.. its unbelievable! i wudnt settle for the base 17' wheels or suspension..

hey..im 100% with u on this... just doesnt seem right that UK z's are classed differently to imports... Would definately be up for petitioning DVLA about this!

Need all those definately coming to PM me asap with your mobile number.. so can co-ordinate.

haha...yeah small world just wondering if its possible can come round some time and see the nismo exhaust u installed? mines on the way... hope its as good as everyone says With regards to performance garages.. there are only 2 that ive found. S&M MOTORS - ask for Prada - Hampden Road, Kingston 0208 546 3600 J-CARS - Ask for Martin - Sutton, Surrey 0208 6617609 Im getting quotes from both companies for installation of N.exhaust, K&N typhoon and some body work needed.. we'll see what they offer.

i knew it.. i had a chat with u and your friend infront of your house few months back, i stopped off with my Chinese girlfriend to have a look at your Z whilst we were on the way to Richmond Park.. i was driving that awful green Golf at the time.. remember? I think u had just fitted the rear LED lights and was planning to get Nismo exhuast from US ...ring any bells?

I agree nixy..looking back that fairlady badge did look a lot better than the 350z badge!!

Hey.. u dont have a red 350z do u?? How come u not joining us on London to south coast trip on 12th August??

Found 2 performance / modification garages S. London.. theyre not large companies but they got good knowledge of mods and Jap cars: S&M MOTORS - ask for Prada - Hampden Road, Kingston 0208 546 3600 J-CARS - Ask for Martin - Sutton, Surrey 0208 6617609 Cheers! PS if anyone knows of any other.. pls add them to posting!

Might have to now...

Hey ..just read on other posts about ur car.. sorry to hear about that, hope the dealership hurries up with that new engine !! EBIZED - Im also bit more familiar with roads going from London to Brighton.. and im picking up a passenger in Guildford.. last time he showed me an awsome A- road leading south from Guildford.. might be tthe one u mentioned.. nice and twisty..and u cant get lost as its straight down to to Brighton il look it up tonight on multimap

Damn Sarnie.. cant compete with that! Maybe i can just get some wheel spacers..wont these fill out the arches a bit more?? (shud be much cheaper option..)

This is a last minute idea.. but i thought maybe alter the trip destination to Brighton?? .. it would mean shorter round trip..and some better twisty roads to use from Guildford onwards.. can i pls have some feedback on this idea...

CANT BELEIVE THIS!!! The fairlady badge at back... when i took it off.. there was still an outline of the letters etched into the paintwork!!! no amount white spirit or rubbing wud remove it !! ..ive even tried T-Cut.. and no joy.. im sooooooooo off!!!!!!!!!!

Hiya.. well i kinda like them as they are... did u change yours? what do u suggest?

Thats cool.. il definately be in touch when im ready for this stage.. need to fit steps 1-6 first .. hopefully by next week all parts fitted & new photos any savings i make now will be really appreciated ..ive already spent £2k on extras

They think they can get me another 30 hp.. im not so sure, il see what they achieve from the rolling road tests.. just have to wait for it
