Space Cadet Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Apparently Prospec are the UK distributor of Nismo, have tried calling them loads of times and get an out of order tone, does anyone know if they're still in business? Otherwise, where's the best UK place to order Nismo parts? Thanks. Quote
Removed Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 any reason why you want to get the stuff from a UK distributor and pay Uk prices? I'd just go US tbh... Quote
Space Cadet Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 Just a bit more comfortable ordering from the UK, appreciate that ordering from the states might be cheaper, but I’m not going to break the bank. Just want to order the Nismo exhaust, air filter, oil and radiator cap, then possibly at a later date the braided hoses and uprated pads. Do you know of a UK distributor and/or what happened to Prospec? Thanks. Quote
Removed Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 I know Middlehursts do Nismo stuff but do not specifically recommend them. Ask MrF if he can get Nismo stuff no idea what happened to Prospec as I buy most of my stuff from Performance Nissan or Courtesy or other reliable US soources like Z1Auto... PS for the amount of stuff you are buying.... I'd definitely go US imported, in fact I'd organise a group buy to see if you can share shipping costs and drive them down even more! Quote
BigD Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 I sent Shin at Prospec an email in december and heard nothing so basically I went elsewhere. At the same time I sent an email to japanparts and they were very helpful. Clicky Good website for browsing the parts. They are based in Japan so the language can be a barrier although they do speak English. US is much easier. The people you would buy from in the UK would be ordering from the US or Japan anyway.

Baptist Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 For what you listed there, it will break the bank. The exhaust is about double what you can buy it for in the US. Quote
steve_b Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Try RJN Motorsports. They are authorised and they did happen to have Nismo Exhaust there. They where fitted to the JP 350z at Bedford, but then removed. Regards Steve Quote

Grant Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Give RJN a try, Bob and his team are very helpful and they have built they the 350z race car that competed in the British GT in 2005. http://www.rjnmotorsport.com/RJNmain1.htm I bought my Braided lines from him and Steve had his brakes and lines fitted there.
