Wont miss it !

I would be more concerned about rust than mileage,bodywork is costly and some owners prefer to add lowering kits, spacers,etc etc and ignore the important bits !!

Lovely looking car !

Whatever you go for, check very carefully for RUST ,bodywork repairs are expensive and these cars are getting old now !

Very nice looking car ,like the (not over the top look)🙂

Nice looking car,had one the same,great car had to get rid due to needing back seats,but still cast lustfull eyes over them,especialy in white,good luck .

Paid 201p on the motorway the other day, up near Newcastle

 

Wow thats some price !

Paying £1.96 a litre in sunny Scotland today for super unleaded,anywhere higher than that?

Went from a 370 GT Edition back to a 350 and in some ways liked it better,particularly less tyre noise despite having 370 wheels,missed the extra grunt of the 370,and couldn't face restoring the rear arches on the 350 so wont be going back to an old car .

The slave cylinder fails its a well know fault 

Thanks for the reply ,was this Nismo only or did it apply to manual GT cars as well ?

Seems some of the Nismo's had an fluid leak of some kind that got into the clutch housing,but no idea regarding the GT cars,that was the reason i went Auto last time.

I too have been thinking about getting back in a Zed,sold my 350z about a year ago and bought a 17 plate TT with 15k on it this spring as i needed an occasional back seat for grandson to nursery run.I have only done 2.5k since getting the Audi and had to have it recovered for failed water pump,so much for German engineering.

A few years back i had a GT Edition model 370 auto which i enjoyed having but due to work etc couldn't use it much.Question is should i try manual this time? Is the gearbox action similar to the 350?I had also heard of clutch failures on the mk1 Nismo at low miles happened occasionally was this also true of the GT.

I agree and your right this is what i thought myself ,however this guy insisted he was right,i will wait and see.

I heard today that the new Zed is indeed coming to Europe at the insistance from someone high up in  Renault !!

Hope all this exploration continues,dont know if i will live long enough to see a manned mission there but would love to.I believe one day there will be a colony and if humans can survive long enough they may be able to terraform it .

The main snag for this will be the need for higher power chargers for these batteries ,existing network has too many different systems and too few chargers.

I was thinking about getting a Dolly Sprint but I am being daft, my Rover has to go first if I ever get time to prep it and get it advertised. Good luck in your search.

Had two Dolly Sprints in my youth and loved them,they were however prone to overheating and doin cylinder  head gaskets,quick in their day though

Evo or Scoob, surely?

Dont think i would risk an Evo and i did drive a Scooby sti a few years back but although quick i found it a bit agricultural .

The time has come for me to get a run the grandchildren about car that is not electric ! Obviously would like something that looks good and goes well but has four doors.I was initially drawn to something diesel Bmw or Audi with three litre power however i am being told by all and sundry that because my mileage is around town and  stop start with very few long distance runs i will have big DPF problems.I have also read that these big Germans are not that reliable so do i stick with something Jap like a type r ?I have about £22k to spend.Feel free to stick in your tuppence worth

Well i have an Electric car which i use in town running grandkids to school,nursery and doing hospital and shopping trips for family members.I have had it nearly three years and it has cost me nothing to tax nothing for fuel and is great to drive in town ,great turning circle,quiet and has needed nothing but tyres and wiper blades.

I had until recently a 350 which i used for week ends and days away for me and the missus.I am a car person and love a sports car and will have another when we can once again go somewhere.

So i think it's horses for courses,long distance in electric is a slow process as charging is slow and chargers too few and far between (at least where i am)to make it a relaxing trip,but no doubt it would help pollution in cities.

Be interesting to see if anything changes,Obama had two terms to do something about BLM but nothing was resolved,so i'm a bit sceptical.

Maybe in 20 years they might have enough chargers for the revolution !!

What about test drive do I sit in the back with full hazmat gear on?

When  i sold a car early September i used another car to lead the buyer on a test drive  with no problems ,after checking  he had insurance of course !
