  1. Lol, the risk of having your car "test driven" by Halfords is too high
  2. DE = 03 - 05 (More Torque down low apparently ) Rev Up DE = 06 (High revving oil burner) on some models HR = 07 - 09 (Higher Revving, More refined)
  3. If someone did this for a GCSE Automotive project id give an A* for sure
  4. gt is usually UK spec with cruise control, brembos and rays. Non GT come with cloth seats and standard spec. Usually imports from Japan
  5. they should bring that blue back. The newer dark blue isnt a patch on this blue
  6. 3-4 years is a good amount of time to own this car I think. Change is always good. Wouldnt say no to a 240Z
  7. Better off going on the back bumper tbh
  8. The gated communities people are speaking about will soon become a thing in the big cities and some suburban towns in UK. All you need are a couple break ins, endless amount of loitering and civil unrest. Id feel a lot safer in a gated community with barbed wired fences and cctv than be out in the open to the elements. Go there in normal clothes. No fancy brand names, jewellery or flashing cash around youll be fine. Staying out past 10pm in most African countries im not so sure. Kenya should be okay. One of my colleagues family live there and they are English heritage. He visits every year. Anyway criminals usually get street mob justice in most places before police arrive. Strangers are more likely to have your back out there than here.
  9. Northolt air base is close by but I doubt they came from there. Ive seen a few chinooks and typhoons go by. Not sure how @Payco organized the fly by. I would have thought jet fuel alone would cost a bomb . Saving it for those Russian incursions in the North Sea Was a good event not a drop of rain even though rain was due.
  10. Hope it gets sorted. When I had the car I stayed well back from anything in front even kerbs which people love to kiss when parking up. People usually attacked my parking. A method in the madness as they say. No its not a friday the 13th car. Just unlucky right now.
  11. As a guy once said "controversy creates cash". Good luck to him. Its a shame there are a lack of Zed youtubers in UK. Guess Ill stick to watching the American yoof take care of that.
  12. Theres a youtuber named Tanner Fox grew from 2.5 to 8.7 million subscribers in space of 3 years. GTR Libert Walk at 18 not bad. He making up to £800k per month with all the branding and sponsorship etc. At one time £3000+ per video based on 2-3 million views. Got really big after being shouted out on another youtube channel. They all got their own branding. His video "i nearly died" catapulted him to real fame status as he went really viral. Saw LLF latest video lol. I can see where he's coming from with the haters who wanted him to fail. But as I said everyone makes mistakes and its good he was able to educate others. Glad a lot of people will wake up now and be wise to reading their Ts and Cs more carefully
  13. yeah worked in YMCA. We had to just send them away. Huge bags of tapes. The dvds and ps2/3 games became the norm as far back as 2011.
  14. Good thing Im not in charge. Id can the GTR for a good 10 years until its viable to come up with an affordable hybrid V6. Ive seen what a difference it makes in my current car and with the NSX. A new GTR now would probably cost £100,000+ When you combine hybrid electric motors with a V6 Turbo you can get close to diesel torque figures. In those 10 years a lot could change such as diesel and petrol restrictions but id make the new Z the main supercar for the brand. Id just dump the q60 engine in since infiniti are going electric. Although its not the most efficient engine it can produce 400-500 hp easily and up to 600bhp with some work. Id go all wheel drive and reduce the dimensions of the current 370z. Something between the 350 base and 370 Nismo in terms of width. Rear wheel biased AWD Price it at £46-£50,000. The design doesnt need to change much Cheaper than a 15 GTR, Cayman and an Alpine. The only thing that would make it possible is demand in the American market. Why was the Datsun 240Z bought to US to offer an alternative to market. As one senior citizen said yesterday what they said about Datsun in 70s Britain "If they think theyll make any headway here they got another thing coming" Some say there will be but nothing has been announced and there isnt anything official. Apart from anniversary editions with stickers and infiniti going electric.
  15. The Nismo mark 1 will probably go up first as theyre limited
  16. California laws....The future is here. Anyone interested in buying a Sporty Electric vehicle with fake V6 sounds coming from the speakers? At least John Doe gets to catch some Zs at 9pm on a Friday!
  17. Theres the thing about credit. There are reasons why well off youngsters may opt to finance a 25k car as opposed to a 65k car because of youtube. A lot of bigger youtubers are still driving lower valued cars until they get big enough to take the plunge on a big ticket item costing 65k or have the finances in place to protect against any eventuality such as demand for payment etc. He could have got a used M4 for half the price from a third party. 30k is easier to obtain a loan for than 65k. But no go all out and get the highest spec when youre going to mod the hell out of it anyway. But thats the past. A finance company may offer him a deal or he may have business partners who could help him out. Crowd funding? He could do but he,ll never be able to repay a grand gesture like that. He could leave UK and produce content from benidorm or canary Islands. Either way he needs to find a solution fast. Selling it still leaves him owing a large chunk if his deposit was low due to depreciation. Maybe he can sell for 48k and pay the difference out of his own pocket. Whos going to buy a molested BMW though?!
  18. Good meeting some of you. The turn out was slightly more than last year. Some came from as far as Doncaster, Dorset and Lincoln. Thanks for making the effort. Believe it or not there are a few local Z who live close by. Some couldn't make it and others arent on the forum. So if it wasnt for the long distance members it wouldn't have been possible. Ended up staying till 3:45pm. Not many pics too busy chatting. Good to meet andy, richard, John, Maz, Payco, Ben and many more.
  19. nice car dude. A proper GT with good straight line performance. There are a couple in my area. Mostly red and black. Cant beat the sound of a V8
  20. Hence the view numbers. Mostly from young americans who still rate the car.
  21. Millions of views. Was a struggle to get anything positive out of this review lol.....
