Just thought I would post some pics of my new car





















I took delivery on Saturday, sent her to get Paintshielded (PPF) and picked her up again today, 250 miles on her atm.

 

is that o7? what kind of front lip is that?me like it!

 

Looks like Nismo V1. Car looks GREAT BTW.

 

Looking good, congrats on the new Z

wow, not a big car guy huh?

 

Congratulations! So in the UK you can get the NISMO kit directly from the factory? Or did they install that in the UK? I am also curious about the wing, since it was "discontinued" in Japan due to traffic regulations (no-Stop light). Wonder if they have a special arrangement with the UK?

 

maybe it's cheaper to get ukdm than jdm? the bumper is completely different, not just a lip

 

Wait a minute, the Nismo front lip only fits on 2003 to 2005 model years ?! Is this an authentic Nismo, or is it the V1 look a like for the 2006 and beyond?

The kit he has is the Japanese version (JDM). There is no UKDM.

 

He has the ~full NISMO v1 bumper~, which I know it was offered in the UK (along with the rest of the genuine JDM Nismo Kit) as the "GT Package"

 

^ Yeah, that's an entire bumper replacement.

 

I also believe that it was the v2 wing that was discontinued.

The kit is a factory option, although it comes to the UK without it fitted, it get's painted and fitted once in the UK (also it has headlight washers cut out once over here).

In the UK we only have two options, GT or Non-GT. The GT offers heated leather seats, upgraded Bose stereo, steering wheel controls (cruise, phone, stereo etc). All UK spec cars come standard with Brembos and RAYS. Unfortunately we don't have the option of getting the newer wheels (ie the 35th ones).

Factory options are the v1 Nismo Aero kit, Nismo LMGT4 wheels, kick strips, vent trims etc.

 

Kind of joking, but wondering if it would be cheaper somehow to get the parts through the UK with shipping.

 

Definitely not, as it happens those guys who don't have it fitted when new all order their parts from the US.

 

Thank you Simon. Both wings V1 & V2 were discontinued in Japan, and you can't order them any more. Maybe they have a special agreement with the UK to produce the quantities they need, or they have a certain number in stock.

Thanks for the update and great looking Z!!

 

Beautiful car and right off the show room floor. Welcome and congrats.

 

looks great.!

 

I'm actually thinking of cancelling my 08' GT coupe order...I would like one in Carbon Silver please!

You're one lucky owner!
Congrats on your purchase! You've changed my mind about the orange paint forever! That is HOT !

 

I like it.
