It's only the bodykit (rear spats, side skirts front bumper). I can't spot any other Nismo bits on there.

Nice car, just need to get yourself a set of LMGT4's if you can and it will look the mutt's nut's! OH and get a popcharger...you won't regret it.

LMGT4 are insanely expensive and rare. The alloys on the car are Track 18" v.1 extremely lightweight and are the forged Track model wheels. :cool:

Are these what you mean

LMGT4

Booner - did you sell yours with the car?

richyfingers · 23 Jan 2011 at 16:32

Very nice, I'd love to pick a few bits of the Nismo kit up but it's just so bloody expensive.

Nitrojan · 23 Jan 2011 at 16:36

Just out of interest, what price range did you pick this up for? Very nice purchase!

No, they look like below. I had a set of the LMGT4's which are pretty rare, but you can still find them as I did. Whilst I agree the RAY's on there are lightweight etc, the LMGT4's really were awesome. I'll dig out a photo of my 350z to show what they looked like (bit of pimping!).

Yeah I did sell them along with the car. It was one good looking car when I sold it - getting all emotional thinking about it

Edit: here's a few examples of the LMGT4's:

I guess you sold the original wheels when you got the Nismos?
Can't help but feel you could have sold them seperately for a profit, or did you get a good price due to the added kit?

Yep, sold when I got the LMGT4's. Yeah I weighed up both options, I needed new tyres and a refurb on them, I took off all the kit I could to sell private except the wheels which was taken into consideration when I sold.

15k had fantastic deal with very low mileage.

I really, really want one of these.

Looks very nice mate but in my opinion Rosso Red is the best colour in the Zed

fonzee · 23 Jan 2011 at 18:22

love that interior :cool:

0 – 60mph is I believe is touch over 5 seconds, not the quickest off the blocks

wut. stop trying to play it cool, you know its quick!

Very nice

What are the service/running costs like on these cars? (apart from being thirsty on fuel)

No idea - I know road tax is not cheap just cost me 249.00 for six months. Tyres are around 200 per corner I need to find out service intervals etc. Booner - any idea?

Wow, a whole £500 a year! Crikey!

Still love the 350Z. :cool:

Service intervals are 9000 miles or 1 year tyres can be done for under £400 for all four if you switch to Falken FK452. At a guess your running RE040 which are rubbish for UK weather conditions they require a lot heat in them for good performance and the Falkens are well liked in the UK get yourself over to 350Z-UK for more info.

Morgan got it all there. I found mine pretty reasonable to run, anything with that kinda power comes with pretty hefty bills/running costs though.
