  1. Thanks for that, the 370z just looks a bit more special than most cars in its price range. I've been looking at the usual suspects M240i, golf R etc. Planning to test drive them all though before I decide. Ordered the RS straight after the test drive but won't be doing that again.
  2. Haha, very true but it's all in the OTR price. Hopefully if I get one it will be a decent enough deal not to worry about it.
  3. Probably going to go down the new route if I get one to be honest but thanks anyway.
  4. Hi, used to have a le man's blue 2010 GT, really miss the car. Sold it 4 years ago and looking at the current prices I could have run it and got about the same sale price now! So now in the position to get a bit of a toy and keep getting drawn to the Nismo, especially with the lower VED, bonus. I did have a focus RS edition model on order but the engine issues have put me off and I've cancelled it. Fantastic car to drive though! Planning to get a test drive at Exeter Nissan, anyone have anything good or bad to say about them or the car? Has much changed? Thanks for any advice. Cheers Phil
  5. I never said it was full titanium, it is just the tips.
  6. There was a stick on HKS badge which is on my xbox if you'd like a pic! Wasn't sure it would survive under the car. At least some of the parts are etched with the specific part number, ie BNxxxx It makes a great sound, I realise how much now the standard setup is back on...boring.
  7. As above the car is going, hopefully today unless Vospers muck me about.
  8. As per the title, a genuine HKS hi power Ti exhaust bought from Abbey. Only the tips are Ti the rest is SUS304 stainless. Spec http://www.hks-power.co.jp/usa/products/Pid=715_more.html If you want to hear it there are plenty of YouTube vids from across the pond, I think this is the only one in the UK. True Dual and sounds lovely with zero drone. I'm based in the Plymouth area but I will be driving up to Kettering at the end of September so I could meet a buyer en-route or deliver if it's not too far out of the way. Price £1k. New you are looking at around £1900.
  9. Loads of different variants of the 50s, it's the SZ for the 370.
  10. I know what you are saying, if you want to cut 28 miles off of your round trip then the lanes I have to go through are single track with passing places, the banks are rock and the width is tight. Yes any car will have the same problem but if I'm in a euro box then I'll take the unavoidable scuffs and bumps on the chin, who wants to drive around in a 370 when it's covered in scuff marks? Not the only reason...my beachcasters don't fit in the Z!!! Practicality was high on the list of reasons which didn't matter before I moved here and I can't afford to run a second car. Pex was ok, not amazing but ok, Parkers guide 14980 ...I got 14350 sale agreed so from the 10th I'll be driving around in a ford focus which although boring will mean I can abandon it where I want and go fishing without worrying and get all my gear in. I'll put a for sale thread up for the exhaust once it's off, probably at the weekend.
  11. Very sad day for me, I've had 3 fantastic years with the car but moving to Devon and the narrow roads where I live means time for a reality check and the 370 has to go. I can't afford to run a third car unfortunately. I'm probably going to do the easy thing and part ex the car, I'll be having a trip to Vospers in Plymouth this morning to see what they will give me. If I think it's to low I may do a for sale thread as I'm not in any massive rush to sell. Decision made. This means I will be selling my genuine HKS hi power Ti exhaust which as far as I'm aware is the only one in the UK...or at least on this forum. If I end up selling the car myself I'll look to keep the exhaust on the car if possible. I'll update the thread after I've been to vospers.
  12. I'll be in touch Saturday after the lottery win.
