JDM Nissan Fuga V8

Description:

2006 Nissan Fuga 450GT with “sports pack” GY50 chassis code.

Imported by myself in sept 2016 from Kobe Bay Japan.
Arrived and was MOT’d straight away, passed with no advisories. Registered as Nissan Fuga, but will sometimes show as “black Nissan”

2018 Elgin Show and Shine “best in show” trophy winner (trophy included)

Good Points**

K*break bumpers, skirts, grille and spoiler
Aftermarket halo lights (fitted in japan and are older style multi LED type)
Steering headlights with HID and auto levelling
LED fog lights
4.5L quad cam V8, 340hp 340ft/lbs
Custom made stainless 2.75” dual exhaust with Xpipe and secondary cat delete (primary cats in place on manifolds and still 100% MOT compliant) ULEZ compliant too.

Rosso Modello Titanium tipped silencers
Active rear wheel steering system
Traction control and stability control
Automatic headlights
5 speed sport auto with manual shift (can retrofit paddle shifters if you like) auto throttle blip.

89000miles (at 144k KM and speedo in KPH)
Full black leather, electric front seats with passenger ottoman. Memory driver’s seat and steering wheel (driver seat has a cut in the side bolster on the outside that has a appeared in the last week, from where I don't know but it is there. it can be easily repaired though)

3 disc minidisc changer, 10 disc DVD changer and 6 disc CD changer.
3600w Vibe space 15” subwoofer with Vibe BB1 amp in boot.
Truhart air ride with manual paddles in roof (will come with a set of RSR coilovers too)
Keyless entry, push button start, tv tuner (only picks up ITV2 though) radio is still in Japanese stations, and will only pick up radio 2, but most owners swap in a different radio anyway. DAB digital radio is easy enough to plug in. I usualy listen to DVD/CD anyway
Dual zone climate control with “diffused space” setting that silently fills cabin with cool/warm air
Custom made rear table with ace of spades champagne bottle and box.
5 x junction produce pillows (with one signed by the owner of JP and the guy who started the VIP scene, Takahiro Taketomi at my request, a unique item of JDM weirdness you won’t find anywhere else)

JP cushions and rear seat drapes
Curtains of unknown brand that could do with being replaced or removed as they arrived from japan like that, and I’m not keen.
Front 6 pot 345 mm floating disc big brake kit by PBBrakes.com (I can supply the emails from them for pads and discs) website is www.pbbrakes.com/nissan-fuga-y50-04-09-front-big-brake-kit.html and any replacement parts can be ordered direct from them. I have had a second set of braided hoses as one of mine rubbed on a wheel and burst.
Weds Kranze Bazreia 20” staggered 3 piece wheels in triple chrome, 3 years old (and cost a fortune) but will require some work due to salty roads. Straight and true however with no curb marks.
Diamond Feaux leather mats
Led lighting (could do with being renewed to fit more modern COBB style LEDs)
MOT was November I think. No advisories
I will include all photos and 2 keys, all contacts for spares and any numbers I have for info I’ve found.

I’ve fitted new rear pads, two front wheel bearings and speed sensors, 4 oil changes (with mobil1 5w30 or Castrol edge 5w30) and has a K+N panel filter that I would swap for an Injen col air intake…. But that’s me.

Bad points.
Headlights were opened up in japan to fit halos, they would benefit from lenses being removed and cleaned and more upto date halos fitted
The head lining covering has failed, drooping into the cabin. Simple fix with glue, or opportunity to remove and fit LED starry sky
The air ride could do with a higher pressure reading gauge (maxxed this one out at 160psi, but bags lift at 180)
Larger air ride tank preferred and possibly second pump as a fully aired out front end needs two full tanks from the compressor to reach ride height.
Wiring to rear fog light runs through the arm rest ski hatch, I did this before I figured out how to remove the back seat, and never rectified it. Easy enough to do without tools though.
Wheels need a good going over, PUGZ polishing has already said they would be able to strip the chrome off with ceramic bead polishing and give them a new lease of life for £100/wheel

Chrome trim on dash should be removed as it’s aftermarket, looks crap and is flaking
Small scratch on drivers wing due to over enthusiastic 3 year old daughter, helped me clean it with a brick.
Chrome strips on bumpers should be replaced as they’re fading, you can buy chrome strips from Halfords or amazon that just stick into the recess of the bumper.

Needs a good cleaning (has been ceramic coated 3 times in the past but hasn’t been detailed properly in around 12 months due to lockdown.
Under trays are starting to fall off in the centre of the car, but alloy aftermarket ones can be bought from the USA (and make a great skid plate)
It is on original spark plugs and coils, but Nissan assured me they shouldn’t need changing for another 40K miles. Never thrown a code or misfired. And burns very little oil (these engines are supposed to go through about 250ml a month, but I’ve never had any issues)
You’ll get recognised as me everywhere….. sorry.

Its limited to 112mph (180k) but Severn Valley motorsport have said they may be able to delimit it with “up-rev” software.
Bonnet has been detailed so many times that the paint is getting a little thin, and could do with a respray, or vinyl wrap the car in whatever colour you want.
Everything is in Japanese, but google translate works great, and you only really need 4 or 5 functions anyway, so you get used to the symbols. There are youtube tutorials on how to navigate secret menus and such. (how to program interior lighting, auto headlights etc)
Boot build was done in 6 hrs from start to finish for a car show. Will need redoing (and I would certainly fit a 4 channel amp in the car too)
I have THOUSANDS of photos of the car from when it was in japan and pretty much every week since, all car shows and of the trophy too.

thank you for reading all that.
