Nice ride, glad you changed up the wing though!
btw, the guy that bought my Z had intentions of exporting it to China. So if you see a black track edition, the only thing to separate it from being stock when I sold it was a s2k antenna and shaved front emblem...that would be pretty cool to see if it actually made it over there! I figured the guy was full of ****, but hey, his check cleared so I didn't care...haha

awesome pics man. I'm in HK right now but my hometown is Guangzhou. The car scene doesn't really exist that much, its not visible daily at least (talking about Guangzhou). In HK there are **** load of nice cars but mainland, the middle class isn't wealthy enough to have such nice cars.
You are a pioneer in taking good photos of a hot car on the mainland and posting it on a western forum. I salute you! haha.
If anyone is in HK right now let me know. When I got time my friends and I bomb around in a Ver.8 STi.
And someone please ban that Sean guy.

nice pictures, awesome city! i would love to travel there, but im afraid of the language barrier.
side note: arent chinese car requirements lower than the US and europe? i know their cars cost less than half ours do here, and are near copies of other makers. i guess they are just less expensive cuz they dont spend much money on exterior design or platform development??
someone clue me in!

). If you ever saw a Z on street, it's probably a "duty-free or paied" Z from North america.and about the amounts of Z, I heard It's been officially sold 3 Zs in 2006?

Wow! The shots and the car are beautiful. I've been to China 5 times in the past year and a half and never seen a Z there. This is great to see.
I'd love to see it in person the next time I drop into Beijing. (January probably)

007GT your z looks sick...i know it must stand out really well in beijing...i wish i could buy a 370 and bring it here. But the traffic in shanghai is just insane...beijing is a bit more open.
I've been here for about 4 years now....the 350z's they sell here are the European versions from what i have seen....they are usually one year behind the current year model we get in the states....this past summer i was in a nissan dealership not far from my home and there was a grey 2006 model selling for 550,000RMB, just insane. There are a lot more Z's on the streets here now ...but the rarest care ive seen here that just blew everyone away was a 2007 Z06 in yellow....it was just stunning to see on the streets of shanghai...its amazing how it looks over here next to the repetitive Audis, VW's, BMW's,and hyundais etc, etc.
