davey_83 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Question, is this a real Nismo 350z? If it is, aside from the clocks - what are the differeneces compared to a UK 350z with a factory Nismo body kit? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201609117647870?onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&radius=1500&sort=price-asc&postcode=b330xj&body-type=Coupe&advertising-location=at_cars&make=NISSAN&seller-type=trade&transmission=Manual&price-to=7500&model=350%20Z&page=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evest Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Nah - looks like a standard import that has just had the body kit and been badged up. I think the proper NISMO versions came out later and had uprated suspension, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I'd say it's not a Nismo just had bits stuck on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valy Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) don't think it's a Nismo...the original 350z Nismo has the really square (fugly) rear bumper Edited October 5, 2016 by valy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Great price & as Alex mentions a tidy enough example of the 350Z but it's not a genuine "Nismo" version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 As above. Fraud. Owner probably wears a genuine Rolex from Thailand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Ive not seen those clock faces for sale before? looks a nice and clean example either way - Facelift headlamps too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) As above. Fraud. Owner probably wears a genuine Rolex from Thailand. Says the man with fake chargespeed and fake te37's, sorry i couldnt resist Not a Nismo version but may very well be a genuine nismo kit as said above looks like a tidy example to me Edited October 5, 2016 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-G- Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Agree with ZMANALEX, a fake Nismo but not totally untasteful in the execution. A real nismo would come with better wheels than the standard touring alloys in black, those nismo embroidered seats are very obviously 3rd party tributes. Nismo Version 2 kits are never easy to place, but as the advert has stated its an import it wouldn't surprise me if most or not all the "nismo" mods were done in Japan. Nismo did clubman Z33 models but they are obvious as will have a modified and tuned engine to acommpany the high-end aero and suspension. Doubt I'll ever see a genuine nismo clubman car over here. http://www.nismo.co.jp/omori_factory/original_menu/z_challenge/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 It's not a fake and the seller isn't a fraud as nowhere in the add does it say the car is a genuine S-tune or R-tune. It is merely a Jap import with a few genuine Nismo goodies. I'm assuming the bodykit is authentic due to the clocks and as I've never heard of a Zed being imported with a fake bodykit. The wheels probably didn't come on the car, looks like someone flogged the originals which were probably just Rays and stuck these on. I also wonder what hidden Nismo gems the car may have...

Payco Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Jetpilot. I know I have copies but the post here says Genuine Nismo. I admit mine are fake. Edited October 6, 2016 by Payco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
