Apart from the o/s back light being bust (probably an arm and a leg being a Nissan), is there body damage?

Imported new, or grey used market?

Twin Cam Turbo?

Any service history?

How many owners?

Any interior and engine bay photos? More of that back end needed too.

Any advisories on the last MOT?

Cheers,

T

Default a bit more info

hi mate there's a little damage next to the light but its not bad i was quoted £230 which i think is over the top but nuthing considering the price of the car. the light its self is less than £10 as bits are very cheep and easy to get from Japan. it was imported a few years ago to do the jap shows but the guy lost interest after bumping the back and some scrote nicking the tv and hifi. it past its mot 4 months ago after adjusting the park brake and fitting a new bulb.i was advised the front pads wear low well thay wear the originals so fitted new disk and pads front and pads rear and a fuel line which is fine and was not changed. the engine is a bullet proof n/a v6 225 bhp if i remember right and a five speed auto box with sport and winter modes. just one lady owner in japan who drove in hight heels leaving a small hole in the carpet and me and its importer hear. some history if you read japanes but it speaks for its self with no rust and little wear and tear and mint engine and box as you would expect. i will try to sort some more pics asap thanks ideal

That's quite helpful, thanks.

Always found these very pretty, and they're very popular in Canada and the states, especially the later Y33.

Pity it's not the turbo, I hear the quad cam is a monster; but also hear the cheaper TC turbo can deliver as low as 7 to 10 mpg - so not all beer and skittles!

Would be surprised to find the light for a tenner, but I guess you know your stuff - never driven Japanese, but know a few owners who reckon they're mega pricey on parts.

Did the car get a new tv and hi fi?

Cheers,

T

My dad drives a Toyota. One did he managed to smash the sump. I couldn't believe it when he whinged to me that it cost him £400 to get it sorted because bits had to be ordered in. Then he said, "mind, I did have the brakes done as well, and a couple of other little jobs, and I told them they might as well put new oil and filter in while they've got it". So all in all, considering he let the garage do all the work, I don't think it cost him that much considering.
