Sarnie Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/809680.htm I hate when dealers try to pass cars off as high spec cars. Its obviously an import, base spec with a leather retrim, but are the rims Nismo's? The rear look concave like Rota's and I'm sure Nismo's don't do that????

Stew Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12883&highlight=nismo Looks like the rears are concave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Fitting on the double din is shocking too They may be Nismos though... the 18" do dish a fair bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Look like Rotas to me... And got to say, i wish i had rota's... they've really grown on me recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 They definitely dont look like nismos to me! As you said, they concave too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'd say they're Rotas, but remember Rotas are copies of the Nismo, so wouldnt be supprised if the old 18" Nismo dished that much. Things that tell me they are Rotas - no centre caps, lug nut holes are not like the Nismos I've seen before and they dish too much. BUT to defend the dealer, if you didnt know about Rotas and saw they had a Nismo sticker on them, what the hell would you say?! Rotas dont have (AFAIK) any obvious marking they are Rotas other than the centre caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetZed Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Also it looks like it's got an aftermarket headunit but it's hardly fitted flush into the dash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 head unit looks a dogs dinner but it's still a pretty car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Can i ask how you know its an import from them pictures? Sorry,im just curious,as when im in the market for a Z id like to know if someone is passing an import off as a UK car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 only thing i can tell is no headlight washers - usually square plate at back is a giveaway but you cant see it on these pics. Indicator stalks are opposite sides too but can't tell on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
