The roadster will not be sold in Germany before early 2005, as a German dealer told me.

Now I am struggling to buy one in the US while I am there (ore here) end of Feb 04.

Anybody any ideas of what has to be adopted for German registration (head/tail lights etc)

The tail lights seem to be identical (German cars have DOT numbers in them). How is the yellow indicator light for Germany realised ?

What I know so far that a head light cleaning system is mandatory with Xenon headlights and a fog tail light is required.

Both problems are easily resolved, I hope.

Do the US versions have an additional km/h scale in the speedometer?

Do the cars for Europe and the US (according to EPA there is only one version sold in the US: ID # 4NSXV03.5N7C) have identical emission control systems ?

The Z coupes sold in Germany are always track versions (Brembo brakes), the roadsters don't come with these. Might this cause problems ?

The German dealer told me, that the rear deflector is mandatory in German, because of possible higher speeds. Is this true ? How does the car handle at top speed without it (some of you tested it, I believe)

I know many questions, but I hope I will get many answers.

Thanks in advance

There is a company in Germany that imports roadsters from the US. I also know that there is a US 350Z coupe in Holland since early 2003 and as far as i know they didn´t have to change that many parts... I´ll try to find the company that imports them.

 

Found it.

Import Deutschland 350Z roadster

 

Thanks Peter,

but they make a lot of money on this one.

Import price incl duty and taxes is approx 34 - 35 k Euro if purchased currently in the US.

Now my ZR is swimming over the ocean and will hopefully arrive early April in Germany, wish me luck with the authorities.

 

Yo Globox, wenn du deinen Z hast sag mir doch bitte mal bescheid ob und was für Probleme du mit den Behörden hattest!!! Ich ziehe im Dezember wieder nach DE und will mir eventuell DANN einen Z selbst zulegen, aber von nem Deutschen Autohaus! Warum wolltest du denn unbedingt nen Z aus den USA haben...gibt's da viele Unterschiede???

 

Ich wollte einen Roadster, den gibt es in D frühestens nächstes Jahr, wenn überhaupt, und bei dem aktuellen Wechselkurs habe ich dann zugeschlagen.

 

Kann ich verstehen...aber bei autoscout24.de hab ich nen blauen Z für €24.500 gesehen!!! Kennst du dich aus in Sachen TüV??? Ich habe vor mir die meisten Upgrades aus den USA zu Bestellen, aber irgendwas sagt mir das der TüV mir einige Probleme zubereiten wird?!?
