Supercharger was fitted by Middlehurst Motorsport - probably UK most respected Nissan dealer. They prep cars for Nissan Motorsport.

They had the dealership for the 80 only,UK spec R34 Skyline GTR-Vspec.

They did indeed.

When I was looking for a 4 seater it was either a R34, Alfa GT V6 or the Mustang.

Quite how I resisted the temptation every time I was up there is beyond me

Actually, it was the £50k price tag that put me off.

Awesome piece of kit but at £50k I think I'd stump up the extra for a second-hand 996 or something.

So... how much were you considering asking for your 350Z?

I would swap it for my 300ZX, but with a Jnr Twin Turbo due any day now I'll be needing the "huge" rear seats in mine too

I love the new Mustang too. A great choice, although it's such a shame they won't make it LHD. Have you gone for a black one of these too?

Did you not consider the Nissan/Infiniti G35 coupe (or whatever it's called)? Sort of a "grown up" 4-seater 350Z.

Cheers. I'm half looking forward to it being LHD (I spotted your typo) - never had one before. Driven plenty abroad but not here - should be fun

I did look at the Infinity but it looks so dull though. Real shame.

I'm not interested in the M3 - I've had two already Already order my new car

I'm not sure - I personally think its worth near £35k but am open to sensible offers.

BHP is somewhere between 370-380 with about 350-360 lb/ft torque. Standard 350z is about 280 I believe (maybe less).

Shame about cancelling the 350z order. Cracking car. Reminds me a lot of my M3s in terms of capability, build quality and tons of power. Selling mine because I want more than two seats. A lesson I should've learned after the T350

BTW, I hope you weren't offended by my posts on the other channel.

I have no axe to grind, despite what some people seem to suggest.

You know, if I hadn't already ordered another car I'd have been really tempted.

Sell it, then get back to me

In case anyone is interested I've put up a page of photos (at the request of several people who've enquired about the car).

Shows the car before, during and after its transformation.
