So you've got an Infiniti badge! Thats strange...I didn't know they came marked as an Infiniti Skyline. Mine's a Nissan Skyline 350GT like all the others I've seen in this country.
They certainly turn heads. I couldn't get over the amount of people that stared as I drove past. Have you posted any pics of her on this forum yet?

Any suggestions where I could buy it and have them send it to blighty mate.

Depends on whether you want a replica kit or the real thing. Big price difference. There's a guy on here that sells a lot of replicas and does a lot of business it seems, I'll dig out his name and you will see from his posts. He does the Kenstyle with a CF insert for the KS back. I looked at a few companies selling authentic too.

The price for shipping is horrible though whatever kit you choose. You're looking at between $700 to $900 to ship the lot. I suppose it's not too bad with the $ / £ Rate. I asked quite a few companies for shipping quotes and they are all in that area

A friend of mine on here (ukgt) has just written his 350GT off too. That's 2 of us now. This car is getting rarer !!!

A replica would do fine. Any luck yet with finding the name mate?

I've bought mine back off my insurance company and I'm going to get her back on the road. This time I think I'll keep the VDC switched on.

Sorry mate, got a little sidetracked

Try this:

Do some searching to see what people think of Klumzyee I can't vouch for him, but a lot of people seem to buy from him.

Yes there are some owners north of the border. We have moved on a different thread now (still the same site).

Go to bottom of page after hitting this link below then click on 'other regions' and we are posting on 'to all uk owners'. There is also a
'UK members list' thread so dont forget to put yourself on the list.

Anyone know how or where to get a blue touchup paint stick?

I've tried Nissan UK, no go and the US won't send paint in airmail.

Any Idea's?

Hi fella

I tried another Nissan Dealer today, but no hope. The code doesn't match anything. So I thought sod this and went down Halfords to get something when I saw a sign saying "we mix paints". Guess what! They only had the bloody code in they're computer. Thank God and it's spot on for colour.

Your a bit late its been sold

Not sure you can put these on the road yet unless you use a traders plates because the model report hasn't been done as yet so no registration at Swansea is possible . But i could be wrong
