  1. It's a copy I bought off ebay! Japspeed! But.. Nothing wrong with it and it sounds awsome! Check out my short build thread for info on what I done to it... The girl who had it after me done a couple more bits, but I have no idea what...

     

    I did have big plans for the car, but then I got bored! I got my eye on a C63 now, before I get myself a GTR!

     

    this exhaust sounds mental, way better than by blitz and my cobra.

     

    lol i take you for a drive when i boost it!

  3. There is no real disadvantage to having an import, (my previous Z was an import), but there are a few things like

     

    - You cant really be sure of the history in Japan, ie is it the eqivalent of a cat-d. Japanese exports are really tight on their standards so its not too big a risk

    - Insurance will be priced slightly higher

    - Gauges are all in units we dont use

    - Stalks are the wrong way round

    - To diagnose mine i had to buy a £230 code reader

    - All the stickers and sat nav are in japanese

    - Non-Brembo brakes are straight up dangerous, 1 pot tiny calipers on a 1500kg car

    - As the milometer has been converted you only ever know a rough mileage of the car

    - Square number plates, (cool)

    - Auto-fold mirrors

     

    But day to day they are largely the same :)

    EDIT: Sorry bud, I realise that does not add any value, so here's your question, answered at the top of the Zeds For Sale section.

    to be fair it is easy to get confused :stir:

  5. Being controversial - I think people who think that 'they can do better' are deluding themselves.

     

    I am a mature and relatively skilled driver, but I still occasionally crunch gears, select the wrong gate (the wife's always complaining about that one) or fail to shift at the optimum time.

     

    Then, with respect, youre an average driver and no more than that. If you dont understand why a manual is better for performance driving then you arent using a gearbox or a clutch properly. For the record, weight shift, rev matched up or downshifts, recovering/avoiding spins and general car control is a lot more difficult without a clutch. Theres also the instant response which is delayed in an auto, for serous track driving this could be the difference between staying on and spinning off.

     

    when you look at most of the serious machinery these days: Aston Martin, Ferrari, Bentley, Lamborghini, even the Nissan GTR - they are in the main, autos. QED.

     

    wow, harsh words

     

    in my old auto car the tiptronic not responsive at all on downshifts, sometimes took well over a couple of seconds, not to say it was bad, but i prefer my new manual

     

    also you cannot go past your redline, end of. no discussion. your ecu wont let you.
