Grundy Posted November 27, 2015 Share 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 99% of the yanks who commented basically said its fake.

Surely if someone has gone to the lengths to import it and knowing what it is , you ( I would anyway ) would hope that it's was on the v5 to make it 100% legit . Could someone ask to see a pic of it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All i will say is, someone has gone a long way to to fake it, bodykit, wheels, seats, dials and who knows what else we cant see, they have spent a lot of money making a fake.

The majority of the replies was that there were no auto nismo 350's. Then the 2nd most comment was - Nismo Plaque in front of the heated seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 OK got to thinking, the Nismo dial looks genuine, i,e the Nismo logo lights up as per the rest of the markings, but, has the cut out for an auto, would that be possible if they didnt release an auto? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanhavana Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) This car was written off this year. I have picture evidence to prove it. It was originally a friend of my brothers but was rear ended. I'll try and get information on it and report back to you. EDIT: Quick pic, waiting for information.

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'm afraid that to me it's just a base 350Z with an ugly body kit on it, doesn't even have electric/heated seats. S-Tune and Z-Tune are actually tuned by Nismo, this one just has the standard HR lump. Even if this turns out to be genuine,a GT4 in yellow with or without a Nismo kit or a Pearl White HR would be a better long term buy IMHO. EDIT....So it is genuine, thing is we don't know what sort of spec was on offer in Japan, lack of snow button is interesting though, thought all JDM's had them?

Cat d according to a reg check via text. That's a shame - it's always interesting when these cars turn up. Don't understand why more care isn't taken to keep the original import paperwork for rareladys like these & publish them with the advert. Maybe folk get a kick out of making people play detective!
