The owners of either marque amongst us will now be deciding whether they are sitting on a future classic, with possible financial appreciation, or simply a fantastic drivers’ car. Either way, I feel that we win as long as spares remain available, which should be for another 8 or 10 years minimum. Thanks for posting the link, paul_k.

JohnFK Posted March 22 Author Report Share Posted March 22 If its any help I am still buying new Nissan parts for my 2005 350Z from Japan, some 12 years after the model was discontinued. These parts include underbody brackets that you wouldnt know existed until you stripped the car down. A few things are unobtainable, such as new headlights, but most things are...

JohnFK Posted May 4 Author Report Share Posted May 4 I've heard this week that 7 UK-spec R35s have just landed at Sunderland with 3 more to follow on the next ship. Those are to fulfill orders placed prior to 1st July 2021 and there will be no more new ones. 13 years of R35 - RIP 1 Quote Nissan Current: - 350Z GT4, Ultra Yellow, 62/176 - "Muttley" (it was the only Z in the village ....) - GT-R R35 MY21 Track Edition, Storm White – Factory options: Carbon roof, spoiler, bootlid (painted), carbon ceramic brakes, Nismo carbon seats and Nismo steering wheel… Nissan Previous: - GT-R R35 MY09 Premium, Titanium; - GT-R R35 MY11 Recaro, Storm White; - Juke Nismo Manual, Blade Silver; - GT-R R35 MY14 Recaro Vermilion Red; - GT-R R35 MY15 Premium 45th Anniversary Edition, Champagne.
