Can't speak for Porsches but if you can't afford a 2011+ Evora S don't go there. I'd have one in a heartbeat, but pre 2011/12 cars have too many shortcomings.

I've had no issues with the MPS4S. Seem great to me.

Yep. I went for darker wheels on mine and the darker door handles from the 2019 370.

Welcome to the Blue Club

Cute little fella. Kudos to you for the humane solution.

Interesting. Never really occurred to me when I modded the Nismo with an exhaust and HFCs. I had that on PCP but paid off the balance when I sold it on to an independent dealer.

If I’m totally honest your bumble bee is a bit much for my taste but I really admire your enthusiasm for the platform. This is what makes Z ownership such a community thing. All power to you and the yellow beast .

If I was to go back to a Nismo I'd look to have the Mk1 and 2 bumbers with the Mk1 spoiler and wheels. Seen a few examples on the US forum which look the part.

I’m a big fan of Yamaha receivers. I only have a Yamaha sound bar these days but I used to have Monitor Audio 7.1 speakers paired with a Yamaha receiver - sounded great. The only downside of home cinema for me is you need very deep pockets to keep up with the tech. I’m also yet to be convinced that shelling out for expensive cables brings noticable benefits.

Oh dear. Not a patch on the 40th.

Assuming you're genuinely interested in what people think, I think it looks pretty weird with a hefty spacer at the back and nothing at the front. Definitely needs at least 20mm at the front to balance it out.

I’ve had a few of these with my Torqen orders. Didn’t even realise they were vegan until I looked at the label. Delicious!

I updated my 2011 for the same reason. Does seem pricey but I just bit the bullet and paid.

Same here. We’re talking about mass produced mainstream manufacturered cars here. I’ll put whatever premium fuel the nearest, least busy, petrol station happens to be flogging in mine thanks.

I’m not really fussed about her as an individual. I doubt she’s a threat to the UK in the real sense of the word. From what I’ve seen and read she seems a bit thick and little more than a gullible hanger-on who was daft enough to believe she’d have a jolly old time over there and marry the man of her dreams. I suspect the decision to keep her out is mostly about deterring others from doing this sort of thing in future. If that works, it’s fine by me.

Does it sound better than a 370 with a stock exhaust? Just curious.

Can’t do cinemas these days. Too old and grumpy to put up with all the noise people make during the film. Big TV and a decent sound bar is as close as I get. I would quite like an Atmos home system.

I have Ark Grip too. Lovely exhaust but I had a major fitment issue that couldn’t be resolved by any amount of adjustment - ended up requiring one of the tips to be removed, shortened and welded back on so it didn’t stick out about an inch more than the other one. Total PITA! Happy with it now though.

Bear in mind it's not just that the OEM exhaust is too quiet - it also sounds rubbish when you put your foot down. Replacing it is an essential modification to budget for.

I got bored of my 2016 A45 AMG pretty quickly and that was after a remap that it took it well over 400bhp. They're very capable, but a bit soulless and don't attract nearly as much interest when out and about as my much cheaper, slower, 370Z (if that matters to you).

Unless you're a very good home mechanic, buying anything that sits right at the bottom of the price range for these sorts of cars is liable to be a false economy.

Oops, duplicate post. Content deleted.

I thought it (whatever "it" actually is) came as standard on all 370Zs. Never paid any heed to it to myself. Sounds like a too good to be true gimmick. I doubt you'll get any joy out of Nissan. Best to invest in a DA polisher, correct the paint, protect it, and try and follow good washing techniques. My current Z came with bad swirl marks. I managed to get a pretty decent outcome with a modest investment, a bit of research and my first ever go at correction.

Agree with those who said it spoils the lines.

Couldn't agree more. In a similar vein, I am proper fed up with the way the media has worked to create an young v old narrative around this for a bit of drama. The idea that if you're "old" your vote is somehow less relevant because you won't be around for long is complete BS and totally disregards the whole point of democracy.
