Just to add to this to help anyone. I had one OY13DZN for a year or so when living costs didn't matter before the real world set in with me moving out! My personal guide is based on a GT edition SIV I believe they were called with some slight facelifts that wouldn't be visible to the normal eye? (Correct me if wrong) Car was a real cruiser at high speeds and felt like a GT but capable In the Twisties to The engine was amazing. I bought one on low mileage around 26k before lockdown with minimal use and the independent dealership changed the slave cylinder after a week or so which went. I added a Nimso exhaust in time and serviced at main dealer which was cheap as it's a Nissan. No issues, great engine and sound and unique and old school feel. These cars are rocketing in price probably due to the lack of the new Z coming to the UK. It shames a lot of other cars with higher 0-60s etc whilst their auto boxes work out what gear to get into 😂😉... I had the manual. MPG is actually good on a run and when driven normally, expect early 20s to early 30s depending on driving style and traffic... it's very torquey so requires minimal effort when driving casually.. I put Federal tyres on twice during Ownership and doing high mileage, I cannot remember which model of tyre I got. The car sticks to the road amazingly, it's a hidden gym, don't hesitate to get one for low running cost performance if you want a purist experience. I didn't have to do anything to the car except the standard changes expected, sound system is amazing, heated seats are good and the sat nav says if theirs a speed camera (outdated for newer cameras unless you update it) but handy and a cool feature. Any questions feel free to ask.
Cheers for the message, they are fantastic cars and severely under represented, I had some issues with mine, mainly due to the previous owners mechanic not doing things that well but since then it has been great, when Misha thrashed it around the Nurburgring he was impressed, especially compared to a 350z. It's not a perfect car, it has it's faults but that's what gives it a personality!
What are the nismo like for uk speed bumps , and high drives etc , i put a lowered calibra turbo up my drive but if i cant get a nismo up it might be a deal breaker for me, currently drive an evoque great car but lacks real power.
Cheers, yea was an early video for us . Two new things that seems to be popping up now is rust on kidney brackets and passenger door lock actuators, now and then passenger door won't unlock so have to do it from inside. You won't be disappointed but drive an auto and a manual and buy which you prefer, I think I'd use the car more if it was auto if I'm being honest!
I’m in the process of buying one. 2015, 49k miles and already has had the Master & Slave cylinders done. Plus Clutch. So hopefully should see me right for a bit!

Mine is lower than a nismo and haven't had any real issues with scraping, the front wheels are quite far forward which helps
