wac201 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Hi all, New to the forum as looking to buy my first 350 in the coming weeks. After months of narrowing down the list of car's I'm looking to move onto I have finally settled on the Z. Quick question with regards to the models; Love the Nismo 350Z but realise that they are relatively rare - did they make a limited number of them or are some of them out there just a standard 350z with the Nismo bits and pieces fitted aftermarket-esque? Are all of the pieces available to buy or can you only get them factory fitted? Thanks in advance! Alex Quote
martinmac Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Hi Alex and welcome to the forum. Dont worry, the traders on here will be happy to sort you out with body kits when you find the right car. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Welcome to the forum, Alex... Always worth looking at the For Sale section to see if any members are selling their Zeds... Quote

Alex Hi, If its a UK car with a nismo kit then it will be an aftermarket add on (either by Nissan UK or the owner) Most wont have all the Nismo accessories (ie not bodykit but suspension, brakes, engine mods etc etc etc) If its an import it may have Aftermarket kit again with out all the bits. Nismo ones do come out of the factory and am pretty sure they have a code on the VIM (Can someone confirm...!) These will come with all the nismo extras, and yes there arnt many about... And yes, all Nismo bits are available as aftermarket add ons.... just beware they all went up in price recently due to ex rate and Nissan putting up the prices. Quote
M13KYF Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 alll the pieces are available. When ordering a new Z you can have it as a option and fitted by Nissan. You can get the same style kit but made by a good replica company for a lot less. Check out EPRacing on here or the web. There are a couple of others who make good replica kits. Stay clear of cheap ones. You get what you pay for. Quote
Stew Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 There are one or two imports for sale with Nismo goodies. I'm not sure if you mean the kit or the nismo engine upgrades though? The kit is easily sorted however the other Nismo stuff is pricey! Quote
wac201 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 Wow, thanks for all the replies, Nissan owners are very welcoming if the forum is anything to go by! Yeah, it's the Nismo body pieces I like the look of, the Z is a lovely looking car standard but Nismo have done a cracking job on their kit - definitely something I will be investing in when I manage to make the Switch from my Type R (just in case anyone knows anyone looking for one it's Black, 2004 facelift model, 36,000 miles and £7.5k). Jay, I'm based in North London, family live near Cardiff so get to enjoy driving when I go back to visit them rather than in traffic-jammed London! Do you guys have regular meets? Quote

bronzee Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Welcome to the forum. The numbered Nismo's you're referring to were 2007/08, full on kit, and uprated suspension amongst other things, oh and the numbered aluminum plate on the centre console. http://my350z.com/forum/nismo-350z-476/ (heaps here) Quote
