hmale4yu Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 May be of interest but the Mk2 has a different exhaust to the Mk1 in terms of manufacteres - V1 = AutechV2 = HKS I think Nismo bidded out the contract to whoever could make them cheap in enough as both exhausts are the same spec although some have reported a slight sound difference in stock form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likely option is just five characters like yours, enabling a reduced width plate. Not a problem with the rear, but my current full size front plate sits within the standard plinth. How have you fixed yours? I can't quite make it out from the photo. Looks good by the way... Edited March 5, 2021 by Loadmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortPaul Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Thanks mate i removed the plinth, the plate is held on with 3M double-sided tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 got rid of the plint? Did you fill the holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortPaul Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 No didn't fill any holes the smaller registration plate covered them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 do you think its possible to put a smaller plate on the central grey lip at the bottom of the bumper? Maybe glued on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe glued on If you're going to go to those lengths you might as well get a plate flipper and the bumper holes filled. Nothing worse then seeing a relocated plate and two great holes in the bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loadmaster Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Is there a smaller plinth option available? The Japanese plates are similar to US plates, so the car may have a US/Jap option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then glueing on some magnets to the rear of the bumper. It seems easy enough, but its not always that simple. Anyone done this before? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or mod that as well knowing me Mark 1 Nismo based in Scotland has been on Autotrader for around 7 months. Hes listed it at 25k lol. I think hes just cheesed off at the timewasters. I think an offer of 17k see what he says. There are also a few mark 2 slightly overpriced though. Thats if youre still looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats if youre still looking As a ref point my 2018 Mk2 17k miles was valued £22k Part Exchange by a dealer (Mk2 2018> have the updated clutch, darkened rear lights, door handles), non modified, 1 owner, Storm White. I think these will fetch £24-25 private sell correct me if I'm wrong? I don't forsee Nismos dropping from 2022 onwards as they become rare unlike the standard car. So unlikely to buy a Mk2 Nismo low miles sub £20k from 2022> I am thinking I might end up holding onto the Nismo for that reason although there is a certain practicality smaller cars bring in an age where we can't make use of our cars, increased charges and idiots moped riders making things worsen in the years to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 More and more are ending up on ebay for scrap. Im not implying it will become a rare classic anytime soon. Looking at the very least 20+ years for that. Anyone looking for one now can still negotiate. Imagine someone took me up when I had mine up for 17999. I think now its no longer in production I reckon you can only get good deals for a short period of time ie now before summer and possibly again this winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
