Peter10 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I'd get the 313 for the extra £1000, otherwise you will pay the same tax for less of a car. Both will be on the higher tax band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesmin Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 I have more info now on the 2 cars, The 313 is Black and apparently a special nismo edition with 19" alloys a nismo exhaust and it has nismo badge on the front and on the back of the car. Maybe someone can throw some more light on this. The 300 is completely standard and in Universal Silver, both have exact same milage.

Lexx Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 No such thing as a "nismo edition". Well, there is, but it wont be the car you are talking about. The garage/seller will just be telling you it has a Nismo exhaust (quite rare now), and the LMGT4 alloys (again, rare). No such colour as Universal Silver - It's Blade Silver. You got the links for the adverts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 No such colour as Universal Silver - It's Blade Silver. Yes there is For me this is a complete no brainer. MY07 car with extra bhp, stronger residuals, black, Nismo zorst (£1k+), Nismo wheels (£1500 +/-) or MY06 bog standard in a rubbish colour and poorer residuals. To me, based on the two cars, £1k is not a big enough difference, either the MY06 is overpriced or the black one is underpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 That car is a MY06 not a MY07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesmin Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 def a my07 , has the big bulgy bonnet and a sound to die for when you rev the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 The bonnet from an MY07 can be fitted to earlier cars. Only really way to tell is to see the engine itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 as far as i could tell from the small pic that there was no bonnet bulge on the black one which would mean it can't be an HR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 http://www.mcknightmotors.com/car-detail.php?carid=97 Better look at the pics there. And yes, no chance it is a MY07 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Lexx are you saying it is the 300 not the 313 Correct. It is a MY06 model with the VQ35DE Rev-up engine - 296bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesmin Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Thanks makes the silver one the best buy then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Thanks makes the silver one the best buy then I'd still be buying the black one due to the nismo exhaust and wheels. You could sell both of those second hand for over 2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter10 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Like I said in my last post though, he will be paying higher tax (about £460 now) for a car that doesn't have what the 313 has. In my opinion, I would walk away and get either an older one or a newer one with all the bells and whistles. If it does have proper Nismo wheels & exhaust it may be worth it but I would still rather the MY07 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 NOS - Nitros Oxide. Its basically a volotile gas injected into your cylinders. More Bang = More Zoom. Kinda like a "Boost" button in arcade games. FI = Forced Induction. Turbo's or Superchargers. nice short summize of NOS. Like it As far as I know NOS isn't volatile, it just reacts to heat and releases oxygen in abundance whilst inside the cylinders. Wiki extract: Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas or sweet air,[1] is a chemical compound with the formula N2O. It is an oxide of nitrogen. At room temperature, it is a colorless non-flammable gas, with a slightly sweet odor and taste. It is used in surgery and dentistry for its anesthetic and analgesic effects. It is known as "laughing gas" due to the euphoric effects of inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative anesthetic. It is also used as an oxidizer in rocketry and in motor racing to increase the power output of engines. At elevated temperatures, nitrous oxide is a powerful oxidizer similar to molecular oxygen.

Sarnie Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 def a my07 , has the big bulgy bonnet and a sound to die for when you rev the engine The 'sound to die for' is the pretty expensive exhaust, have you tried a standard car ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesmin Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yes I drove the silver one and thought it pulled away a lot steadier in second gear than the Black one but it didnt have the same roar, I actually preferred driving the silver 300 even when I thought the Black one was a 313.

CaptainSensible Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 the rev up versions have known oil consumption issues, something the earlier and later vehicles very rarely suffered from It's nothing major though. Very few UK cars suffer from this problem, mainly an issue in the States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetsurfer2 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I don't think that is the case. Most people don't speak about it. I expect they don't want to devalue their pride and joy. The issue is crap piston rings and scrapers on the revup engines. The only fix is to replace the rings and scrapers. Mine is using a lot of oil at the moment, so I'm replacing it with an HR engine. There are reports in the U.S. that there are issues with HR rings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how it works out with the changeover as i was planning on fitting an hr and going twin turbo but got advised there was some issues with wiring looms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekman Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 If the silver one has 18 inch wheels it will drive and feel better. Esp if it's the ultra light forged rays. I would go for the black one for a K... But don't be fooled it will be anything like a HR. I ve driven both loads....no comparison whatsoever! Better torque curve, more flexible engine, higher rev limiter and 10 more bhp. May not sound much but it is! Plus loads of other things like an aluminium rear subframe etc etc. If you can't stretch to a HR that black one looks lovely. Both exhaust and alloys are popular and sought after and the only better colour than kuro black is midnight blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
