Grundy Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Back to the topic though ...... If it's a genuine nismo I would have thought it's worth that all day long .... Even if I'm not personally a fan of it . Yup, only worth that price if you pretty much barn it for the next 10-20years. 1 Quote
mdunbar Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Thats steep money for what is essentially a body-kitted automatic import! An original Nismo one of only 1700 or so made, worth every penny. Being an auto or import is completely irrelevant because of the above. Being modified hurts a collectors car. Needs putting right. Also, limited edition doesn't make a collector. I might be wrong but I don't see this in the same league as a TME Evo, 22B, RS500, etc... Quote
Jetpilot Posted November 26, 2015 Author Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) And thats where it all falls down, a 22b and rs500 are leagues ahead of tme evo imo. Its all down to perception of value and a ltd run car will pretty much always fetch a premium, especially with the word Nismo. I wouldnt pay it, but someone will.

Jetpilot Posted November 26, 2015 Author Posted November 26, 2015 Think md was referring to the black roof, eyebrows and paddle shifts Quote
Grundy Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Think md was referring to the black roof, eyebrows and paddle shifts It works so well I didn't even notice Also, surely he'd of taking a picture of the plaque saying what number it was.. Quote
Jetpilot Posted November 26, 2015 Author Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) This is where my knowledge is slack, is it not just the 380rs that has a plaque? Edited November 26, 2015 by Jetpilot Quote
Grundy Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 This is where my knowledge is slack, is it not just the 380rs that has a plaque? I'm just going by the American's - so could be wrong, just internet knowledge. They say nismo = 6 speed not auto. And apparently Base model steering wheel Quote
Grundy Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 But again, everything they are saying is excluding Jap imports, so still unsure. Quote
Ebized Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Pics from Wiki For me the only issue is the auto transmission, be good to know if any were built with it. Anyone near Barry in South Wales want to check it out? (Trade seller) Quote
JetSet Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 There's a couple more issues, Nismo has a silver speedometer, plaque should be on centre console, pic shows it isn't, wrong steering wheel. Pete Quote
Jetpilot Posted November 26, 2015 Author Posted November 26, 2015 I wonder if the same dude that recently posted, maybe he can confirm stuff, plaque etc Certainly looks legit, right wheels etc Quote
ZEUS Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 So it appears that it could just be a fair lady with a body kit then. Oh and your phone could do with a charge Matt! 1 Quote

Shenley Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Not including the front "nismo" badge - the rear one is wrong. The "o" is red on this car, but all the letters were silver on an original.......... Quote
Stuggerz Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 I hope no one pays the asking price for this... (surely everyone does the reg check before buying a car lol) Quote
Grundy Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Grundy225, What app are you using?? So it appears that it could just be a fair lady with a body kit then. Oh and your phone could do with a charge Matt! Not mine Someone else did the check, I just copied the picture Quote
Bems Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 So am I right in saying that app shows it's had some sort of damage to it in the past? Quote
JetSet Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 This is what the interior looks like on a left hooker. Note the positioning of the plaque and that the Jap car has a couple of blank switches where the plaque should go. I made a slight mistake by saying the speedo was silver, it's actually the rev counter. Could still be genuine, can't find a pic of a JDM car. One thing to note, when new the Nismo cost around $38k, a fully loaded 350Z actually cost slightly more. It may be unique in the U,K, but not worth paying an extra 5k just to have bragging rights.

Sargara Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Sooooo how do we go about getting the advert updated so we arent implicated in what is essentially a con attempt by the seller? I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE 350Z OWNERS CLUB UK AND THEY HAVENT HAD ANY IN UK Thats pretty damning. Not to mention this nugget: (JUST SO SOME PEOPLE UNDERSTAND PUTTING A NISMO BADGE ON A 350Z DOSENT MAKE IT A NISMO I HAVE SEEN SOME PEOPLE TRYING TO DO THAT) Cringe!! Quote
JetSet Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I believe that this the interior of the Nismo Fairlady 350Z. Black rev counter, no plaque and no switches where the plaque goes on U.S models, but 3 buttons on the steering wheel. Pete Edited November 27, 2015 by JetSet 1 Quote
Jetpilot Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 but not worth paying an extra 5k just to have bragging rights. Your paying to be the owner of a very small production run with a very highly sort after brand, Nismo, i dont think it has anything to do with bragging rights. Take a look at Nismo s or z tune Skylines compared to std. I would also say, if this is the real deal and i think we can safely say, non of us are entirely sure of the spec of the jdm model, it would cost you a hell of a lot more to buy an original Nismo V3 bodykit, fit and paint to a 22k, 2007 350z , let alone add the Nismo suspension goodies, wheels etc (if this is genuine full fat version), so in essence its a bit of a steal, liking what it looks like or how much difference there is to a std 350z is irrelevant because of one word...... NISMO P.s I wouldnt buy it but that doesnt distract from seeing its value imho Quote
