It was from Yamaha surplus stock, the dealer had only recently put the bike in the showroom, and it was a nice £800 saving on the price of a 08 model – same bike, just different paint jobs 
It pulls like a freight train; I’m still running it in at present, but even so I managed to have a little fun with a Gallardo today and saw him off… naughty, but it’s the first time I’ve seen one on the road, so had to give him some stick
Gave the guy thumbs up though, the car sounded amazing!
Scort.

What, it'll shift thousands of tonnes but take several minutes to get to 60?

Been tootling around in tweaked 200sx 14a for the last 4 years and its been a great car to own and drive very reliable and fun too, its a pretty underrated and overlooked car imo.
Anyways the old Fairlady Z is back as its known in the JDM, restored to its former glory, I've had it despoiled and the roof panels painted black to give it a more updated look along with clear indicators. For a 20 year old motor I think its a cracking looking car and the V6 twin turbo sounds pretty good too. Approx 300bhp 270 ftlb 0-60 around 5.7, but its the mid speed grunt that makes it so driveable the relatively small turbos spool up much quicker than on the 200sx

You have to cut out the black plastic dividers between the three "sections" (it's one unit behind those) and you then put in a fascia adaptor. It's a one-way process unfortunately!

Thanks, I prefer the look of the uk bumper the square number plate of the JDM version looks dated to me, I had the choice of both and went with what looked best.

WOW
The best 300z I have seen, looks stunning, and I can't believe it's that old now.
Love the black roof as well, makes me want to pick one up for a few £k.

Got rid of my EVO and am now scared witless by rear wheel drive on winter roads
