those 3 cameras under the bridge are a bitch... cuz they dont flash during the day, only at night. don't forget the weird tower-shaped camera at the entrance of mannheim. its new.... its the first generation 360 degree camera in germany that can also catch you from behind :/

350z are very rare in germany. most people drive VW, Audi or Merc. In Frankfurt you see all kinds of cars, from astons to lambs to carrera GTs! but yeah, germans love muscle cars and japanese cars. problem is inspection!

Hmm when did they install that? I heard about that camera I don't go that way to often unless I am coming from Heidelberg. Or going to SpeedFire. Speaking of which have you ever been there? They do good interior work and other custom work. I forgot the guy's name that works there but both of them are cool. They hooked up my friends 300C with vertical doors, custom grille, put 24's on it and TVs in head rest and a fold down TV from the roof.

You could always "un-pimp your auto" before inspection.

Can you please PM your contact info?

I am in Koln and would like to talk to you anout German registration of US cars...

Thanks !

Is it feasible to throw the stock parts back on for inspection, then swap them out afterwards? It's a bit of a pain, sure, but it's not like it takes 12 hours to swap out an exhaust (cats and CBE).

nishi · 05-24-2009, 04:46 PM

yeah you could do that... but i'll see what i can do once i get a hold of that guy.

havent heard of speedfire, no.... sounds good tho. i havent had a lot of contact with shops because i never had my cars modded

Easy to find! Once you go under the welcome to mannheim sign make the first left. Come to the 4 way intersection and make another left you should see a few dealerships there I believe a smartcar dealer is one. Follow that road around and you should see a big red sign that say speedfire on top of the building. They do everything from work on porsches, bmw, mercedes.

im not gonna be working in Mannheim till August, so I'll have to see then

I have a test drive with the 370z this week so I hope it's as good as you guys say it is

Productive week to you all

DarinFred · 05-25-2009, 09:52 AM

Nishi,

I've been in Germany for about 2 weeks...stationed down at Spangdahlem AB. My Monterrey Blue 370Z is on a boat somewhere...should be here within 2 weeks. When you test drive next week, can you take a picture or at least look closely at the front license plate bracket and how its installed? I need to get one and I think the best way is probably get one through the Nissan dealership in Frankfurt. Thanks!

PS Gonna stick out like a sore thumb with a bright blue 370Z!

Oh nice welcome that will make 2 US Spec 370z in germany

Spang is a little hike out there though I've gone there for missions alot of times to deliver cargo. I need to find out about the bracket too. From the way it looks I think the long Euro plate looks better than the US plate cause it doesnt cover up so much of the mouth.

Mid-July is the Release for the Z now? I wonder how many dealers will be stocked since US dealers didnt get much stock to begin with.

no need to go to a dealer. If you have a US spec like me you can just get a regular bracket like this for the front:

I am stationed at Ramstein. We need to start a thread to have a meet. I know about 6 months ago they tried. Now I think more people will have the 370 in Germany. The KMCC is a good central location. If locals want to join we can meet at that huge park platz before the west gate.

Holliday · 08-11-2010, 11:59 AM

If you locals need some parts shipped to Germany, you can use my military APO and it will save you a bunch of $$ on shipping. You would have to travel to Ramstein to pick them up though

nishi · 05-26-2009, 01:05 PM

Hey Hey,

so i got off the phone with the Nissan Dealer here in Frankfurt... and the 370z doesnt come out till mid june! But as soon as it does, I'll post a pic of the front license plate bracket. I don't think there'll be a problem. For my SLK55, which I bought in the US, i got special license plates in Germany for 10 EUR.... so I wouldnt worry too much.

Yeah bright blue is sick... i wouldnt mind yellow for some reason... hmmm

Take that Z to the ring and lets see what she can do!!

nishi · 05-26-2009, 05:17 PM

Mid june my man, not july!

nishi · 05-29-2009, 09:20 AM

BTW....

Touring + Sports Package is the real deal right?
