UK Nismo 370Z Import

Inzy · 07-23-2012, 07:01 PM

Have had a couple of 370's now, and was desperate for Nissan to release the Nismo upgrade in the UK this year, but it looks like another missed opportunity. Was wondering about the feasibility/cost of importing a brand new Nismo into the UK? I'm new to the forum and was curious as to there being precedents?

Cheers!

The cost is as high as transferring Van Persie to Man U! Just joking.:P I don't really know. Maybe you should try out the Europe section of this forum and see if anybody has done this before.

Wouldnt it be easier importing 1 from japan?

Don't know why they didn't even release it there in the first place.

Why importing a LHD, insurance in UK will kill you really.

Shipping costs are not that much should be around 800-1000$ max but no idea bout import duties.

Few of my friends in Nottingham imported Lincoln cars seem was done easily though

Why not just buy the base model 370Z there and then buy the mods? You could buy the body kit, exhaust, and suspension. Might be cheaper then buying a full blown Nismo and having it shipped.

<----- This. Buy a nice used 09/10 and get the Nismo body kit and EVO-R highwing. And wheels/suspention and you will be SET sir!
