someone in US already modded it to have a manual gearbox on YouTube

All hail USA!! First the Q60 Engine swap now this much bigger project. Good luck to him. Has to be done because Nissan are useless. Imagine a DCT mated to the VR30DDTT. SMH

My brother has his for sale on ebay with 37,000 miles 2004 at around £7500. Was garaged a lot so no rust. DE road tax should be around £325 and going up each year by £10 I think. Id be tempted if I didnt already have a 370Z. I definitely want a later HR after im done with the Nismo Yes they do draw attention from boy racers and police. Just dont rise to it. My Nismo got people breaking necks. Ive got tints so its okay.

Any ideas, took a while to write that advert and it disappeared a few minutes later?

I think you should look more into the M3. My mate had one, he had the usual rod bearing and a few other failures he never wanted to talk about. Maybe a more up to date V8 Mustang would be a better bet?

Unfortunately the 3.0 T engine isnt the most efficient. I still think they should go hybrid petrol as that engine is quite thirsty for 2020.

man o man, in the future for sure. Saw an Orange one on Friday

No two door skyline for now. Nissan have been promoting older original 4 door skylines from the 80s on social media. I do wonder what will happen with the Q60. It makes sense to do something similar to Lexus LC 3.5 V6 Hybrid or go fully electric. Then bring out a fully electric q50 at a later date. Then youd have Skyline as the petrol or petrol/hybrid and Infiniti with the electric equivalent. But nooo A skyline 2 door I cant see it.

loool...

https://www.motor1.com/news/387821/nissan-skyline-tokyo-auto-show-concepts/ Nissan will showcase their latest version of the infiniti Q50 which has been returned to the original Skyline branding (G35,G37) This is the 400R Skyline that may be released at a later date depending on which side of the bed Nissan wake up on. After being fined £22 million Im guessing theyll probably be looking to actually move forward with a new model or two within the next 12 to 24 months... Who knows, either way their slow refresh rate of many of their models is quite jarring and a loss of interest in their brand is more than they deserve. They cant now complain about financial losses. I still think they should focus on electrification and all Infiniti models should be made hybrid or electrified

Clear the outstanding while the buyer is there. Keep the rest if its more than you owe or clear the rest if its negative. If selling to a dealer this is all done during the sale. I called Nissan Finance a few days later to make sure it was cleared and nothing was being owed.

Does the loss of interest in F1 correlate directly with technological changes and new restrictions...Or is it just a case of less racing and more politics? Are there backhanders from climate change activists and government ministers to manufacturers to step away from the internal combustion engine in motorsports then slowly in production vehicles? Companies like Nissan seem to have taken a shine to Formula E. About as exciting as tumbleweed. That seems to be the future. While I would like to experience a formula 1 event it wont be long before they become Quad turbo hybrid 4 cylinders. I stopped watching years ago and havent looked back since. I like the idea and respect the technical nature of Formula 1. Well in terms of the Zeds. I drive mine once or twice a week. Then a hybrid the rest of the time. Either way the only real pollution happens once a week. Its not feasible to outright ban petrol engines until EV becomes very affordable and very widely available. Even then there isnt enough resources to regulate and enforce this ban.

lol the sideskirting the bodyshop couldn't get right due to the small spacing. I think its more its too much hassle to get masking tape perfect to spray without ruining it. Might have to wrap it or replace it. Thats a lot of money to replace it...I doubt theyll fit for free if i was to replace ill ask They sorted my front grill were paint was coming off seems like i overpaid. They agreed to touch up the grey on the side skirt which was rough as well Looking again to be honest a good job overall. Not perfect alternative was to buy a new one. £200 all in im satisfied

i bought AAMs because it was the thing before Tarmac and Torqen started doing them £300 cheaper. They make a good sound better than some full systems and they pop now and again when hot. Not in an asbo way. So you wont get coined

started with a bang. Wish I had that straight out of uni I had an Audi A3 which broke in many places Did you get an exhaust yet?

Dude the amount of threads discussing this its kinda understandable some reactions here. I was an huge advocate for the 400Z and we discussed it to death in the "other cars" section. To the point I was being stalked by "Jetpilot" all over the gaff. He did have valid points though. We let the thread die and said lets wait 9 months to the Tokyo Motorshow came and ducks flew. Then someone posted some quotes on the net from alfonso albaisa and new threads were opened all over the forum. If you read some of these articles closely. Nissan still havent decided what the car will be (hybrid, electric or petrol). Hence a design, sketch hasnt even been drafted. The chief designer hasnt mentioned, hinted at anything. I follow him on social media. Their main focus is the Juke and other small electric projects in the pipeline such as an SUV showcased in Tokyo Hope that helps you understand where we are at and peoples reactions to this topic. A mixture of here we go again and fake news = LOL

Apologies for opening up another thread. But this one has been an interesting topic of discussion in USA. Weve seen the clubsport car and Z1 work on this project fir SEMA last year and showcased a stripped down car at this years SEMA. The real question is howcome no one has tried this here. With the numerous Q60 VR30DDTT engines for sale and cheap 370Z Autos available. I know for the manual car Z1 had to develop their own flywheel and clutch not to mention numerous ECU configurations and parts that were added. I know the first answer is really expensive. But maybe any traders/tuners or project veterans can add some light as to how come no UK tuners have tried what Z1 have or individuals for that matter.

all dreamers. Cut your losses dont waste time. Or youd be waiting till April May to get chancers. I got lucky with my first Nismo. We Buy any Car gave me the same price I paid which was well under market value at purchase

There are already lots of threads on this in "Other Cars" which were more or less sank in oblivion.

No where near the same experience. That day will come for all of us.

nice pictures right? If the Hyundai designer wishes to make a coupe sports car that doesnt look like the pictures but will be "crazy". Ill take that.

I did visit Nissan and the parts guy told me somebody was crying about £600 LED for the GTR. He had to remind the customer its an £80,000 car its going on Anyway thanks for the feedback. Thought id share that.

Thanks! called up yesterday. bodyshop said they can sand down and repaint. Its not cracked. Theyll also help me spray the grey insert in the grill which has paint coming apart for £230
