They’re not much cheaper, so it’s probably best to go for an original UK car, unless you fancy a Nismo import – the ultimate for track use with seam-welded shell and hard suspension. Some have softer suspension, lesser trim and may be more expensive to insure few come with service history. JDM cars were limited to 180kph, but the device is often removed. The base model had no traction control, limited-slip diff, cruise control or powered heated seats. Myriad versions were offered by Nismo, Nissan’s performance arm, so check what’s on offer.
