many thanks ... looking at your garage, think i need to share some pictures of a mate of mine's 350z some time. He has done a full cosworth transplant to it that's giving it some 400bhp N/A too!!!

If the front is as good as the back, I think I'd buy the car too ..

I paid $178k on the road for this one, given that a GTR is about $260k and a cayman S is $280k i recon its quite the bargain!!

It is the GT spec with all the options except sat-nav as they don't do a SE Asia map pack!

Sadly will sell it on but time for a change, and the wife will love the fact that we have real aircon now!

As opposed to £135k for the cayman!

Car taxes are high here, but cars don't depreciate anywhere near as much as the UK (for example, a 2006 350Z is still worth about $90k here / £45,000) plus finance rates are only 2.2%
