Afternoon all

I'm thinking about buying a 350z GT but wondering if it's a good idea to buy an import, can someone give me some advice to what the main differences are.

Thanks

 

The main differences between what?

 

I live in the Uk so the difference between the 350z's made in the UK than the ones imported from Japan.

 

Depending on the year/model performance mods could cost you more since imports tend to use "new" technology and domestic re-use their technology over and over again. Other than that buying an import is no different than buying from a domestic automaker all the way from the sales to the warranty.

 

I have been looking for a while and have found that the imported ones are much cheaper. I'm going to see one tonight a brief description is:

41000 Miles, Black, fsh, full GT spec, leather interior, Nismo spoiler and side skirts, climate control, e/seats, Bremo brakes, boys 6 stacker cd, abs, inc private plate.

I have heard the suspension of the car is a little different.

 

All 350Zs are made in Japan.

 

Lmao!

 

hmm.. if import from japan..
right driver side? if it is.. hell yea..

 

RHD isn't that big of a deal in the UK... It's the norm.

They've got mad USDM fevah, yo! LHD FTW!

 

Yeah RHD is a bit of a big deal here. I think the ones that come from Japan to the UK are all converted to UK standards ie RHD and also speedo is mph!!!

Guys are the Japanses cars more prone to rust because they do not
have as much bad weather there so salt is not used on the roads. The UK has cr*p weather Summer only lasts for a couple of months and it's rain for the rest of the year.

 

Ummmm, Japan rocks the RHD cars also... so it doesn't make sense that you would get anything other than that. All 350 Z's are made in Japan.

The only thing I can think is that the "non-japanese" Z's your looking at are grey market cars brought in from another country. But the UK and Japan are pretty unique in the RHD department, so any grey market cars would be LHD.

I thought they used KPH in the UK...

 

No we are MPH here

 

Actually I would think 1-seat mid arrangement would be the oddity there because the French are LHD.

 

Nissan makes a variety of 350Zs for various markets including Japan and UK. Differences are minor. You do not want the headache of buying a 350Z JDM from Japan.

 

One centered seat is an oddity anywhere. Mclaren F1 FTW.

 

The options you mentioned, brembos, high end CD player, leather, ect. come standard on the GT.

 

thanks for your feedback guys. I'm going to check it out tonight fingers cross all is good as I desperately want a 350ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. It's such a beautiful car

 

What the hell? I DONT want those cd stackers.
