Searching for a Z........


Bonsai

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, this is my first post so go on easy on me :surrender: !

 

Im currently looking for my long awaited Z. The spec i want is as follows: Azure Blue, Nismo bodykit/Exhaust, Rays Alloys. Dont mind if its a JDM or UK as long as the price is right, £15,000 is my max budget.

 

Ive only been looking for 4 weeks and get the feeling its gonna be a while to find the spec i want, and also realise i have to get in there quick if a decent one comes along.

 

Ive spent hours looking on the net at diff dealers. Also ebay, Autotrader, Pistonheads etc. Is there much else i should be doing? If i end up buying the bodykit myself, how much is it supplied sprayed and fitted? Does anyone know of a decent place in my area(I live in the South West)?

 

Thanks for your time.......

A car with the bodykit will be cheaper overall than fitting it yourself. I looked into exactly the same thing and ended up buying a car with the Nismo kit, exhaust and wheels already on it.

 

You might need to reconsider your budget a bit though...

Welcome to the site. :thumbs:

 

As sl114 said, if you get an Azure with most of the bits, then add what you want from someone like Phil you will have a much shorter wait.

 

As for the BOSE, it is not awful if you set it up with a few tweaks. BUT, it is unreliable and can easily be bettered. One thing to note, the system runs the hands free kit if the car is fitted with it, so you would lose that. Also, if you get an import that still has a Jap unit in, you will have to chuck it and go aftermarket. Good luck with your search. :)

:welcome: to the forum

 

As suggested find a azure first then give BigPhil at East Shore Racing a call.

You could also consider Adam at Z1 Auto over in the states for Kit and Exhuast.

both are traders on here which can supply what your after.

 

 

 

If you after just the Kit one other to think of is EPRacing (Jeff). They do very good quality Nismo Style kits.

Thats really helpful, thanks for that. So does Bigphil spray and fit the bodykits or does he just supply? Im gonna hang in there for while longer anyway and see if i can locate one with all/most of my desired bits on.

 

Thanks again.............

I'm sure to be in a similar pickle when it comes June and I'm looking for a car within my price range.

 

My plan is to pretty much accept any spec I can get as long as I don't hate the colour. Given I'm gonna probably be looking trade as I wanna chop in my diesel weasel then I don't think I'll have much choice.
