god i love nissans. in my opinion they are the best japanese car manufacturer out there now. and this just reinforses that. and i REALLY love that nissan s-tune skyline coupe with the nismo parts! i wish they had those parts for the g35 stateside.

I love Nissan and the Nismo modified cars, but now I would have the Amuse 350Z, with carbon bodywork

I have to say Nismo is one of my best tuning company's, and skyline is one heck of a car, so the 2 together is a cool think indeed.

That's a good converter site. £36k for a 350Z though? I love the 350Z, but partly because it's great value for money. Anything above £32k is already Porsche Boxter/Audi TT Quattro territory... which I would rather get for that price instead.

You got to add about $4k US to get "compliance", ie get it up to your country's road standards, certain criteria like emissions have to be met. Also you have to buy new tires that are suitable for your country's climate. On top of that you also (but don't have to) remap the ECU to run on your country's fuel. A 0-60 MPH GTR R32 in Japan will run under 6 seconds but on our (Sydney) crap fuel will run 8.
I know because I wanted a R34 GTS-T or 300ZX TT (Fairlady Z) and when you add it all up and the hassles, it cheaper and better to buy locally released cars IMO.

Not bad at all. Although they are still missing the Tubro charger.

The G35 Coupe in the states just hit the 300bhp mark as well.

Definitely a nice site, i have always been a fan of Nissans especially the Skylines. The 400R is still my favorite of all Nissans/Skylines though.
