Careful, if you're not on an 8 lane highway you wont be able to squeeze past eachother!!

They're not that big. A ford transit is 2360mm wide whilst the R35 is 1895mm wide. I don't see many transit vans having problems on our roads.

Milner, not sure if they're measuring the car in different places, but Ive found a number of references saying it is 2000mm wide, probably measured accross the rear if anything.

That makes it an extremely wide car compared to most cars on the road (including the bigger 4x4's), not really suited to the roads you can have a bit of fun on.

There's always one

You want Insurance sir? certainly, that'll be at least..er...now let me see...£40000 should cover it.

I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole until it's an official import...money or no money.

Having followed a tesco van over the cat and fiddle road that driving a wide vehicle doesn't preclude you from going round a corner on 2 wheels

It's a great looking car - but it is huge! On that videos it hulks over the 997 Turbo and these have been seen on here before but hey ho:






What a monster!

(would still have one mind)

wowzer they are big beasties indeed.

[ehyouwhat]

Me want.

A lot.

This GPS limiter thing is a worry and spoils the car for me, you bought a performance car its your responsibillity how you drive it. Its a lovely car but their is far too much interference from Nissan with servicing and the GPS limiter and it looks massive in those pics an R34 is pretty big but thats massive when i first saw the pictures i though it would be pretty small.

The GPS limiter is only for Japan domestic examples to comply with their local laws.

Saw one yesterday near Catthorpe parked alongside an S5. Black I think.

Now which magazine has a red S5 on long term test

How does he propose to sweeten Nissan so they dont treat him the same way as everyone else then?

[Neomagic]

This most definitely isn’t the first one in the UK, Litchfield have one I saw it in the flesh on Saturday.

Yes and who are they friends with, and does he have a black GTR (which might have been the first in the country?)

It would have been the Litchfield car.

Wow - he's not easy to impress and this is his conclusion:

"I want one now! If you can’t wait for a UK car some time next year then you’ll need to personally import one like this, which was brought in by Litchfield Imports. But believe me: if you're after the ultimate performance weapon of the moment, there is every reason to.

This is the best value performance car not on sale in the UK."

[Frik]

Fairly sure this is the one I saw.
