Any Filipinos on the forum?

well said.

Enough of that. If I offended anyone, I apologize.

Are their any 370z owners on the forum in the Philippines? It's a relatively expensive car there after all the import fees, so I would suspect it's pretty rare. Probably double the sticker price of the US.

we had one guy before, he burned up his differential doing high speed runs.

Almost $80k including taxes. A GTR is abot $150k including taxes. You'll have more luck seeing an F430 on the street instead of a Z or GTR.

Nissan doesn't sell the 370z in the Philippines.

Wow I bet that member is probably one of about a hand full at best. I hope they live outside of the major cities... The traffic in Manila for example is flat out horrendous. The last time I was in the Philippines I didn't see too many sport cars like the 370z.

last time i was there was 2005, somewhere downtown I saw 3 evo's: iirc it was a 4, 5, and a 6. I was drooling only because they're not available in the US.

There's quite a few actually, the owners just don't take them out very often. Because of the high taxes, Z owners don't take them out very often. It's usually a second car for them, the daily is either an Evo or 3-series or something similar.

You'll find older Skylines in Cebu and Davao because the taxes aren't as high. You'll see more R34's in Cebu than Manila.

BTW, I'm not getting involved in this, but y'all need to chill

Grey import from a dealer. Or in some cases, special order from Nissan. Special order from Nissan means a limited factory warranty.

Filipino here too. Born in Quezon City. Spent some time in Hawaii and went back to the Philippines when I was about 8 or 9 I think. Grew up in Parañaque. Joined the USAF in '86 and retired in '08. Still fluent in Tagalog but can't find anyone to talk to!

Mabuhay!
