True a new GTR will be over £100,000. The price point Nissan is using these days it wont be any lower than that especially for a new platform. Well they will keep selling them globally so up to people if they want it or not. Ill always be a fan of both Z and GTR. As you said there are now track EVs on the horizon and 75k gets you a v10 R8 with similar maintenance or McLaren 540 etc . Xiaomi owned SC01 coming to Europe, Longbow, Caterham are all working on track focused adjustable EVs. The Xiaomi SC01 Stratos lookalike started as a pipe dream of a young man. Now its set to come with international orders from all over the world. Fully adjustable suspension and set up it weighs only 1360 kg with tubular frame chassis. Very fast and lightweight. 429hp 2.9 seconds. It already looks better than anything Caterham or Longbow can offer and will undercut both in price. The car comes with engine mounts with space for a K20 engine lol MG Cyberster weighs 2000kg but was engineered by a Ferrari engineer so can take a corner within reason. The next generation aims to cut the weight to 1700kg in coupe format. Alpine have a 1400kg car. Longbow have a 1000 kg car. Caterham 1200kg or so. Also faster charging is coming. I do like the MG and have driven 2. Aftermarket suspension from KW released this month. Wheels are available from Italy and Germany. ill probably end up getting that. £5 charge at home per week £200 tax. Comfortable, quick enough to beat a lambo off the line and lose a license. When im bored of that ill probably get a F Type v8 or settle on a GR86 imported for 17k lol. I guess the GTR hype died long time ago. Never driven one 😂. Most have been ragged by local BMW boys. AMG GT, Vantage V8 2018 all appeal more. GTR is an itch that doesn't need to be scratched for me. Too many other options.

BYD have more or less caught Nissan up in pure sales numbers. Nissan need UK to keep buying. So much so theyre trying to bring a 4 year old Z here. I thought they would be advancing onto newer models like a new 4 seater Silvia and Next generation Z and GTR. The Chinese such as SAIC MG are changing and updating models on a strict 3 to 4 year cycle. The latest Z needs to start conceptual design on a new generation car now to coincide with next generation GTR. All new models need to meet Euro 7 compliance and be sold in Europe. Apparently the new GTR will be Hybrid. We will see how they keep the weight down.

I guess its always a risk with an import. But with so much aftermarket support just need the coin in jar or under the mattress if things go belly up. At least enough to cover an engine/Tranny replacement. We know that engine is from 2016 when the Q60 came alive! It depends on how picky someone is on a like for like part. 62K thats for a Nismo right? LOL There a company offering 3 Nismos. Grey Black and White should you wish to proceed it will arrive in August. Under 50k

Meh Over it. Get it cheaper used directly. Apparently no Custom Duty depending on which side of the bed HMRC wake up on. Nismos are going for £30,000 to £40,000 in Japan some are near new too. Add container then shipping costs. ST and lower trims are around £20,000 now. The following costs will be charged by the local agent when the process begins if you choose the Customs Clearance service. Delivery Order (D/O) Fee: £85.00 Terminal Handling Charge (THC): £125.00 Wharfage: £40.00 NOVA Fee: £45.00 Total: £295.00 These charges will be invoiced with VAT, along with the applicable customs charges, prior to the release of the vehicle from UK ports. All costs are subject to standard VAT. Customs duties and VAT are calculated as follows: Vehicles manufactured in Japan and shipped from Japan: 0% import duty + 20% VAT (Subject to HMRC Approval)

370 more comfortable for me but not as controllable as the 350. Despite more rear end grip on 370.

No need to be jealous. Its taken years to build and I used to go up to Birmingham (100 miles) for their Wales and Peak District driveouts from London. Simply because I know people would turn up no matter the weather. Then you get local joiners depending on destination. Theyve also come down to Oxford at the barn halfway that was Cool. I sold my Z 3 years ago. Otherwise I would plus im away for a month in Asia. Im sure if you used Facebook as well can get a few more people. Good Luck.

Good decision. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c77edrxn0dpo

Heritage edition/Facelift coming out and a Nismo inbound to UK. Any takers?....... 😎. Ill be busy getting some sun while Winter eats the tarmac!

A lot of litres required. I wanted to do it on mine garages were quoting £500 on its own due to the cost of the fluid. In US some people are excessive they drain, refill, drive it, drain and refill again. I think drain and refill is enough even though all the oil doesnt drain out. Itll be dominated by new oil and the newer magnets will get any metallic shavings left in the gearbox. Keith has the right idea. Im sure hed do it for half the 500 hehe.

R34 GTR. Big regret not buying one in 2010 when it was still reasonably priced. Then I'd have needed storage with all the thievery going on for niche vehicles.

My mate has the rear wheel drive M4 with full carbon bodykit from aliexpress....4.0 GTS can be had on a cloudy winter day. Not all the time though. But if its not a GT4 718 PDK at 70k then not so sure even then thats R8 V10 and 991.1 Turbo S territory. Youd be the man at Z meets with the Nismo but youll never see that money again. 😂 Anywho just got free access to pressreader with over 1000 magazines and publications. I can always dream while perusing the automotive section.

Lol whifbitz are resigned to racing theirs on carwow and the white one in Birmingham with GTR wheels still for sale after 9k drop over the last year. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202512168621836?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android-app

Wheres the 300ZX. Also at least include an auto 300zx to even it out 😉. The new Z barely quicker lol. You should see it around a track. 370z Nismo for me.

Lol, no comment...

Add 4k and bag a high miles older GTR.

Ive still got the front bit that leads to the cats in brand new condition. So called front Y pipe Not chucked it yet.

Nice, Strong turn out regardless rain or shine.

Air ride looks cool but not sure how it rides. Adjustable coilovers?

You looking to get something else? Unbelievable buy back in the day. Saw it at Ace Cafe. My mate had one and people were still taking pics 2 years ago. GLWS... Now the next car gotta be just as neckbreaking.

"Weather not guaranteed". 👀

Lol all from the same factory. Just contact Torqen or Tarmac. Youll pay slightly different price due to customs but theres is sourced better.
