RobD7 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Guys, Just wondered who out there bought their 350 new and got the Nismo kit through Nissan? If you did, how long did it take Nissan to fit the kit? My car went to get the kit fitted 3 weeks ago (10/6/08) and they still have no idea how much longer it will be Anyone have any ideas!? Only I've already been waiting over 3 months!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'm in the same boat mate, except my car won't arrive till mid july. My dealer said 4-6 weeks at the time! I'll be interested to see how yours goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD7 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'll certainly keep you posted... My dealer told me 3-4 weeks but it has since become apparent that isn't quite true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to live in the Lakes when I was a kid in a place called Millom (West Coast!), not far from Barrow. You anywhere near there??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millom Hes in Beckermet so not far away Yeah was very odd and random living there for 2 years! Used to live in Broughton and we used to get a crowd together to shop in Millom once a week, never went alone It hasnt changed much The road up the coast is still a great drive though.

AK350Z Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Haha, yeah millom is so nice the local police consider it a punishment posting! Not far as the crow flies, will probably be driving that road when the zed arrives, bit sketchy in places though, and the sellafield traffic is not to be tangled with! What were you doing in millom?

RobD7 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Yeah I can imagine driving round those roads would be fun! We randomly moved there when my Dad had a job in Ulverston! We moved from Brighton to there. It didn't take long for us to realise you can't move from a place like Brighton to Millom and expect to fit in! It felt more like Eastern Europe!!

AK350Z Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Kit costs north of 2k. The main advantage of course as its a dealer fit option is there's no trouble warranty wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 ermmm..... there's no warranty on bodywork.....unless your counting in the anti-rust warranty and then i've not heard of anybody kit going rusty wether it be frp or fibreglass...........so......??? -ho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 We support your Nissan vehicle with a warranty longer than that offered by most other manufacturers: 3 years or 60,000 miles (whichever comes first) for any defect in materials or workmanship. And your Nissan is also protected by our standard 3-year paint warranty and 12-year anti-corrosion warranty! * I suppose they could interpret that the aftermarket fitting of a bodykit could interfere with the warranty. I'm not giving them any excuses! * - http://www.nissan.co.uk/home/services/maintenance/index.html?ln=/en_GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD7 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 I think the official price of the kit is £2,800, however when buying the car etc I just negotiated further on the basis I was spending so much with them!! I also reckon when selling, it's more appealing if fitted by them... Not only that but I needed to include it in my finance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you start haggling the list price becomes immaterial, as your simply arguing the total cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
