swilson100 Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 just joined as i'm interested in trading my slk for a 350z. all i have found locally are japanese imports any advice would be welcome cheers steve Quote
ATTAK Z Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Wel come There are a few nice Zeds for sale on here so have a gander Quote
350 Russ Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 i own a japanese import, make sure you get more than 1 key with it as theres more chance of winning the lottery than getting a spare jdm key! only difference really is smaller fuel tank and slightly stiffer suspension. if the car you buy is a jdm and has a nissan satnav its useless in the uk, but theres a member here called nurrish who will replace it with a really good touchscreen system for a good price! oh and Quote
martinmac Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Hi and welcome to the forum. Check out the sticky post in the FAQ section for new members, there are some good links there. JDM cars are fine as long as you know what you are looking at, most dealers dont really know what the are. Also feel free to post up links to ads for specific cars for comments. Quote
UNABASHED Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Welcome to the forum, I have an import and only issue I have found is the fact that the JDM exhaust is practically silent! Quote
bounty78 Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Have a look thru the "For Sale" section. There is quite a few Gunmetal ones with UK GT spec selling at very good price. Quote
marzman Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Welcome mate. JDM cars are perfectly fine, i've have mine for 2.5 years without any problems, and i would be more than happy to buy another one. Quote
alessandro Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 JDM is as good as UK ( actually better and faster ) and generally cheaper which it wll reflect when it come to sell. I got my JDM from a member on here which gave me a peace of mind, if you buy from a private make sure to check all the paperwork. Quote
bronzee Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Welcome to the the forum Steve. Take your time to find the right one. Quote
BladesGrant Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 I have had a JDM for the last year, completely trouble free motoring. The battery didn't last the winter and its very small compared to the UK cars. Upgraded that and all is fine. As people have said smaller fuel tank and very silent exhaust, apart from that just the same as the UK car. Quote
Harman350z Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 I have a JDM, all the dials are changed to mph even tho they say kmh.. Everything is bloody brilliant, had it for 7months now, (fastest 7months of my life) the car is a 52 plate so nearly 8 years old and not a thing wrong with it Get ready to live life in the Zed lane!!
