  1. Dan, I think you're over reacting a bit, mate, no need to throw the toys out the pram I think what people in here are saying is that of course you can have an opinion about the drivability, handling and overall performance of the 370z if you have actually owned / driven /experienced one for a while. You can for instance debate the aesthetics of the 370z without having owned one, just by looking at photos I also think you're preaching to the converted, if I may use that phrase, without offending anyone. Most of the guys expressing their opinion on this thread have / had 370z and of course they get offended when you slate their cars just for the sake of having an opinion here I kind of did the same thing with the 370z Nismo MK1 aesthetics, but at least I had a 370z for a good while, so I sort of got away with it. To the original poster, ask a member in here to take you out in one of the properly modded 370z, it will give you a very clear idea if you want one or not: Eg. Rich@H-Dev, Jonnymonno/John, VH1/René, Keyser/Chris to name a few, depending where you live. Much better experience as with the dealership Good luck!
  2. Link me up! Yes, at least once!
  3. I hate you more now!!! What's the first part of your postcode, let me look for a house next door
  4. Don't sell it before you ask me first
  5. Looking at that photo / garden makes me wonder what the heck am I doing in London
  6. Dan, you've been watching too many YouTube videos , need to drive some properly sorted 370z so you can finally have an informed opinion I suggest you hook up with Jonnymonno and ask to drive his.
  7. Yes, still available, I've extended the deadline on this
  8. Hi Matt, Factory is a bit slow this time, they didn't have as many as I requested ready, so they're working on it. I'll drop them a call again today.
  9. Or better, keep the decats and have your car mapped at Horsham Developments, they will disable these 2 sensors
  10. Matt, put your name down in the group buy
  11. Cute car, but not as good as some BMWs :lol:
  12. Alex had his picked up two days ago and he also picked up his gaskets and little gift today
  13. http://www.autoblog.com/2015/01/26/ford-shelby-gt350r-nurburgring-lap-time-report/ Nearly as good as the GTR
  14. Jim, promise I've changed the posh slippers to normal shoes, don't worry
  15. Little gathering and drive today with the boys from B35 in Hatfield, drove to Royston then back to London.
  16. Just emptied cache, working fine now, sorry for the inconvenience.
  17. Just got in, checking this now. Thanks guys.
  18. Do you have any idea what's involved to have the IMS and bores scoring checked, Dan? Who on Earth would do that when you buy a car privately and viewing 4-5 cars before deciding, you'll end up spending over £1000 just to check the cars you're viewing, let alone the time wasted etc. I took the risk because the car came with warranty and had full service history, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with the car, which was only a temporary toy anyway while I was shopping for the GTR. The garage that done my engine has at least 1 other Boxster, Cayman or 911 every week for the same problem. We're not talking about Corsas or Metro here, but. a Porsche... big let down... Best thing about the Cayman is the handling. Same for the Boxster, handling is really good.
  19. 370z might be awesome John, but don't forget Ekona is always right and has a very informed opinion on anything, including the 370z vs Cayman vs TTRS vs GTR. Having owned 370z, Cayman S and GTR in the same time for a while, my very humble opinion is go for the 370z. The older gen 1 Cayman S has serious engine problems, looks dated inside and outside, expensive, but good handling. The 370z with a few mods like exhaust, intakes or better filters, ARBs, coilovers, better brake pads and lines and some ECUTEK/UpRev tune can be an awesome car. TTRS, won't t comment on that, never drove one, but judging by its cover, I don't like that book GTR.... well, different league of a car, a supercar that happens to be a Nissan...
