Operation find SHW 🧐 Bless you matey, il swap you for its replacement 😁 I bought a couple at the start of the year and what was advertised didn't turn up.
-
New products arrived are Seal N Shine, disappointed but we'll make it work
-
Yes, however not for its price point
-
Also max torque figure is literally no indication of how a car feels, especially in the lower rpm as the Z torque comes in strong low down.
-
Plus dual clutch transmissions are heavy compared with conventional manual, but as bhp figures grew the penalty for the extra wright wasn't as great.
-
DCT gearbox is boss, any daul clutch is mega especially on a daily. Whereas a high revving engine with the bulk of the power being at the top would make a manual gearbox hard work I'd imagine day to day. With a DCT you'll always be in the right gear for the amount of throttle input, rpm and road speed. Do love the Z however as it's so lazy you can literally leave it in 4th a doddle around town from 20mph to the speed limit no drama.

Quite a thing when the experience of a "driver's car" is enhanced by loosing a pedal

It's discontinued I think but showing here on offer at the moment, I've bought some more and hoping I actually get what's described instead of its replacement Seal N Shine https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07SV7BN2Y?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

I do have a problem 😭😭 I don't feel Seal n Shine the same/as good as their previous Hybrid Sealant Hydrophobic Wax. Crap name but it was an absolute beast in managing water. I bought a couple bottles of ceramic spray coating (completes the trio), interested in the mango 🥭 scented aroma 😄

My first year with my Z found Hastings the cheapest.

Get them while they're hot, cheapest they've ever been https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0833KPK78?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

Never heard of them, must be rare. I remember the big names from the days Team Dynamics, OZ, Compomotive, Speedline. Cost cutting makes sense for any manufacturer I guess. Bargain buy for someone with an early Peugeot or Citroen then, being such a lightweight cast wheel. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314578154360?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=akalpusdsys&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=UVSJOLRJSwe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Never change 205 GTi wheels, it's a motoring rule

Good eye, you know it fella.

Looks a gem, stick around 😁 https://facebook.com/events/s/z-meet-the-piston-club-/1473703806806085/ -
Pulled back to a Z33 wheelbase and il think it'll look even better 👍😁

Flying fella, keep it going 💪🏼

Come on in, the waters lovely 😁 nice being ahead of the curve https://www.vogue.com/article/kate-middletons-revealed-shes-a-fan-of-this-buzzy-wellness-trend "Cold swimming, the colder (the water) the better" 🥶

Nothing but facts from some people ay...... If you don't plan on selling anytime soon and handy with roofs, this low mileage example could be a good deal.

^ yeah absolutely agree. Much like the DC2 type r, S2000 all the power at top so have to bury the throttle to em going which would get tiresome. I love the Z she'll go from any rpm with ease, 20mph in 4th with no need to drop down a gear or two. I can imagine the turbo gen M3/M4 was a huge jump in all round performance and economy, of course a lesser sound.
-
Point being to some sounds matters. I think it does along with looks, affordability, reliability and the 350z/370z are tough acts to follow. Best sounding V6 twin turbos today? Possibly the ones from Alfa and in the back of the NSX 🤷🏽♂️

Nice one. Remember when the Cayman 718 GTS went 2.5 turbo. The performance was better than the previous models N/A engine but the newer cars sounded awful and got slatted in the press in this area. Porsche for the facelift offered that model again in N/A 😁
