Welcome to the forum, this side of the pond.

He's over here in NZ, the larger majority of 350's here are pre-loved imports, so the specifications are slightly different to the US, and thusly it would be 2002.

On the registration it says 2002 so I'm not really sure, could anyone tell me what trim this fairlady is?
It's got navigation system as well and power/snow mode. Thanks!
It's getting harder and harder to tell now, because so many have come into NZ with a mixture of stock bits. But it could be a Fairlady T. As apposed to the ST which has Brembos, Bose, leather, etc, usually.

If were NZ new could tell you straight off.

Looks like your cruise control on the left side of your steering wheel. Photo isn't close enough to be able to see.

Na, not at all. A lot of the Jap (new) spec ones, had quite a few options at brand new, that those of us that purchased brand new NZ weren't given. So it makes it more difficult to tell what spec an import one is.

The buttons on the steering wheels are just to change volume and change channels(radio) and CD tracks and a button with a phone icon on it which i have no idea how it works
I do want cruise control though haha

So I cleared up the headlights which were yellowing from being parked at the dealership under the sun for a while and went outside to take pics with my brother's bmw and my friend's skyline. None of these are professional pictures though

The forest there really sets the cars off nicely. Can see why the mountain bikers like it so much there.

I'm too unhealthy
It was pretty easy to dodge the droppings haha

Anyways, there was a beautiful sunset in my town, so I couldn't help but to take pictures of the Fairlady in it

Nice Z, OP. The pictures look great.

And it was refreshing to see an actual Fairlady inside a Fairlady thread.

Congrats & welcome to the forum.

Do people put Fairlady badges on the 350z in the states? Because I've seen a couple of Fairlady's here with 350Z badges

Thanks! I've been looking at some subtle lip kits but it wont be for a while. Thing is that buying from you the shipping would kill the price

Reason they do it here is, the NZ new ones, obviously depending on mileage etc, will generally go for more dosh & are more sort after, as they often have a few specs the pre-loved imports don't.

Yip, it's a bonus isn't it. One of those annoying things.
