Default Uk Guy Needs Your Help

New to the 350z and to this site.
Hope you guys can help me out with this.
Here in the UK we now have the 350z but that’s about it.

Virtually no dealers selling after market products so no advice to be had here either.

What I am after doing is putting a nismo exhaust on including a nismo aero kit.
So here are the questions???????


1. Are then nismo headers worth having??(are they different on a left hand drive car to a right hand drive car)???

2.If I was to replace the full stock system would I need high flow cats as well???

3.How much lower would the front of my car sit after fitting the aero kit.??

Finally who would ship these items to the UK at the best prices.????????

Hope you can help me with the above.
Thanks.

There are UK sources, such as Middlehursts & Pro-Spec...

but bear in mind that the Nismo exhaust will invalidate your UK warranty with regards the mass flow etc... & that it failed European homologation tests (due to the dB reading)

You may want to check out http://www.350zuk.com/ for more UK focused information too, or my site below...

OK

1. Nismo headers are not warrantied by NMGB, as they have not been released in the UK officially - there should be no difference between LHD & RHD vehicles with regards the engine set up... as to whether they return substantial performance gains - this site will give you most of the answers that you are looking for if you do a search for "headers"

2. Headers, Hi-Flows & Xhaust is obviously the premium set up, but there are many people that have just gone with the Nismo Xhaust alone.

3. Bear in mind with the Nismo kit that NMGB are looking to make this officially available in the UK during 2004 - to that end they are changing the front bumper part of the kit to be a lower lip add-on only (as per the VeilSide V1 Lip), presently the Nismo kit available in the US replace the whole bumper & would therefore have implications with regards the Zenon washers... As to the depth of the kit I am not sure, but if you're looking for a drop look at the suspension (once 2004 mods become available to suit the Euro suspension)

Shipping & prices depends on what you are looking for - as I said Middlehursts, Pro-Spec, MJP or Nemesis in the UK, but I have imported from Courtesy & JapanParts also

To answer your questions:

1. Yes, they are different for RHD and LHD cars.

2. cats are arguably more important than replacing the cat back section

3. answered above

Let us know if you need pricing....we carry the NISMO JDM items (as well as other JDM spec items for your RHD Z)
