Grey import from a dealer. Or in some cases, special order from Nissan. Special order from Nissan means a limited factory warranty.

There's quite a few actually, the owners just don't take them out very often. Because of the high taxes, Z owners don't take them out very often. It's usually a second car for them, the daily is either an Evo or 3-series or something similar.

You'll find older Skylines in Cebu and Davao because the taxes aren't as high. You'll see more R34's in Cebu than Manila.

BTW, I'm not getting involved in this, but y'all need to chill

I'm the same way. I can understand about 90% of Tagalog, but when it comes to speaking it I have a really hard time. I learned when I was 7yrs old when I stayed in the Phillippines for a month. I came home and spoke it fluently. But my grandparents on my moms side only spoke English at home because they wanted all the kids to learn English faster.

I know if I really put in the effort I could learn again, but it's hard when I don't really have anyone to practice with on a daily basis. Hopefully when I go back to the Phillippines next year I can relearn again.

My 1st cousins are kind of the same way. 2 are half norweigian, 2 are half italian, 1's half irish and 2 others are half Iranian (although they refer to themselves as Persian). I was born in the Phillippines, but you know how it is with most of us, a lot of Spanish blood/heritage.

you can see quite a few on weekends or friday nights usually in greenhills area and ortigas area.In Emperor Motorsports there are quite a few Z's, GTR's, Evo's and STi's around.

WOW!! I learned something today! I didn't know there was a Filipino connection with the 370z. I was born in the Philippines and moved to Texas when I was 15. That was 18 years ago. And in 2 1/2 weeks I will be going to the P.I. for some R&R. I can't wait! I'm happy to see that the P.I. is well represented in this forum. Mabuhay!!
