  1. Carwow works for me. They currently have an offer for a 370z Nismo, brand new made to order - £32,139 with 4,49%. This is due to Nissan offering £5k deposit contributions though so take that in mind!

  2. I prefer the look of the MK2, but having never driven a MK1, I can't compare.
    The seats are great, comfy but sporty. Having driven 1200 miles in a week I came back the same as when I left, no pains or anything.
    The only thing I'd change is the spoiler, the MK1 is better in that regard :p
    Enjoy the car, but check the forum for the shipping spacers etc

  3. I take pics of my mileage... don't trust anyone. Also why I want a dash cam ;)
    Seriously though, one tank of fuel? Bet it would be cheap supermarket crap too.

    Read a case of a Merc dealer doing it to an older guy, he had video proof, and they offered him a chunk of cash to keep quiet, but he didn't and published the story instead.

    More progress completed yesterday. Firstly car was dropped on Tein Springs. The Ark dual grip exhaust was fitted but not without major issues. Be careful if you buy one to fit on the Mark 2 Nismo, The tailpipes sit deep into the rear valance and cannot be seen and don't align. I took the decision to have the pipes cut, a sleeve put in the rear section to extend it and have it welded. The final result is fine but its an added cost.

    The second challenge was the 25mm spacers do not work on the car if dropped on the Teins. The rears rub instantly. I removed the spacers completely and all the wheelS now sit flush.

     

    Few photos of the exhaust when first fitted so you can see the issue. Have added a photo of how she now looks. Will post some better photos when the sun comes out to play.

    Can you take a pic dead on from the back? Look like they sit a bit funny? Love what you've done so far - Making my wishlist longer though ;)

    Small clue: It will be a road car as I still have my 720bhp 350Z for track fun.

     

    Okay, a prize of a 350Z VQ35DE 3 PIECE EXEDY CLUTCH KIT to who ever guesses correctly, the brand and exact model of the replacement car.

    I don't know how this would work, however I would like to set each guess at 50p with all the proceeds going direct to the forum using the donate button.

    If more than one person guesses correctly, then the first correct guess wins the prize.

    The competition is open now, and will close mid October.

    The winner will be notified on here, and only forum members can join in.

    Perhaps, an admin can advise if this bit of fun is within forum rules and regulations.

  6. Not being funny, but surely with a Porsche the options are endless? I've been to my local dealer, and bar the black interiors on a few they were all different.

    Even found one with blue/grey leather, the rest were the usual "fancy car" colours ( red... cream... beige.)
    If I was in the market for such a vehicle, I'd narrow it down to a few specs, then drive them all for an extended test drive, and you'd soon notice you can't see!
     

     

     

    Now I have to play on the Porsche configurator.

    Why on earth are so many men still under the thumb when it comes to choosing cars? Fair enough if the lady of the house is paying for it, otherwise she gets what she's given :lol:

    Apparently women have rights now? :p 

  8. HOLY THREAD REVIVAL BATMAN!

    I had PC since it came out, got pi**ed off with it not working so stopped playing it for a few weeks... said to be fixed, came back to it.... nope. sold it 6 months later.... got it free again through the games with gold scheme... still a bit broken but yeah.

    Firstly, what is up with the glitch if I hit a bump hard it literally will stop me moving, from say 150mph to about 10... and drops me into neutral! 

     

    Secondly, does anyone use a wheel? I'm thinking of getting a Logitech G920, but unsure of if they're bringing a new model out any time soon, or how well it works with PC

     

    I know its an old thread but worth a shot :D

    Well turns out for our first home, we have a neighbour that's an Ahole! Or maybe I'm the Ahole and they're just a little petty...

     

    Anyway, i imagine they're taking issue with me turning in the shared driveway and reversing onto my drive as at the point at which i just go up to they've placed a chair :lol:

     

    It's an odd layout as where their fiesta is parked anyway is next to the other neighbours garage.

     

    Rising above it, but also fighting the urge to retaliate with pettiness :lol:

    I'd put one of your chairs next to it :) I haven't read any more of the thread, but he seems to be the A hole. My previous neighbours basically said if we wanted to use their drive while they were on holiday we can... we had 3 cars but only room for 2 on the drive. Just be civil, cause the last thing you want is it to escalate. The people who replaced my "nice" neighbours were scum. Their kids kicked stones into our cars, so we spoke to the parents, and they said " yeah so? "...

    Just try n talk to them :)

  10. Whilst I personally will never drive an EV, you go ahead. Enjoy, and enjoy the benefits. I've probably lost £5k on my Nismo in just as many months and half the mileage. Yet, everytime I get in it, it makes me happy. So your wife hopefully will be the same. You can afford a new car, and want one so go do it ^_^

    Go enjoy your car, and kick the crap outta reps in diesel mobiles for us. The enemy of my enemy is my fwiend ;)
