Trading in GTR for a 370z

ImportConvert

Is purchasing a car from US possible, or must you buy Canadian?

Nitrouz

Canadian. I don't want to deal with customs. (long story)

Jeffblue

well, the fact that $1 CAD=$0.000001 USD doesn't help either

Nitrouz

lol have you checked recently? 1=1 almost....

370Zsteve

That's amazing considering the rate the US $ is being printed these days.

Yep. Our currency has gone down the crapper.

We have 370Z's rotting on the lots here in the US. NISMO, 40th, any color you want pretty much just in my town. Sucks that you can't buy US

Jeffblue

haha i know i'm just kidding around. actually at most exchange places the premium they charge gets you less CAD then USD even though its like .974 USD/CAD. when i took a trip to canada i knew that was about the exchange rate, so i was like 'well at least with the premium it'll pretty much be even. NOPE. bastards. the funny thing was instead of just saying theres a premium, they just said the fx rate was 1.2 USD/CAD, i was like' dude.. no it isn't'

ProfessorDave

Sorry, but the letters "GTR" are like catnip for car guys!

Re: the Z...get an exhaust right away. More power, great sound and somehow it cures road noise

oh I'll get exhaust, kit, wheels, and suspension before I get the car. I always do.

exhaust = HKS
kit = still debating...maybe a mix between amuse and sunline
wheels = volk or venaci
suspension = KW or HKS

Jeffblue

whats funny is this whole quantitative easing thing, that everyone is praising, is just retarded. its supposed to decrease the value of the USD in hopes of increasing exports, but every other country pegs their currency to ours, so they just devalue their own currency, and all said and done, all we've done is devalue our currency. I also personally think this whole shipping restrictions based on terrorism thing is a crock too, yea there is a threat, but i think its blown out of proportion in order to help make it more difficult to import from other countries. but that has nothing to do with this thread.


what wheels and suspension are you gonna go with?

BennytheBlade

Past experience w/ your choices or did u domsome research or are you just wanting to try something new out?

Not debating your choices just curious how you picked out what u did.
