  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. There are already lots of threads on this in "Other Cars" which were more or less sank in oblivion.
  4. No where near the same experience. That day will come for all of us.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. All under wraps but will release next year as a hybrid or fully electric sports car. https://www.caradvice.com.au/809437/hyundai-working-on-crazy-sports-car-due-2020/ The designer who has worked on Lamborghinis in the past stated its definitely going ahead. Who knows maybe the doors will go up and boast twice as much power as the Supra.
  9. Engine bay looks a bit of a hotmess. Couldnt they call Mercedes for some covers
  10. Ferrari Roma in Rome colours. How corny
  11. dont worry give it time, a hike in taxes, fuel costs and heavy discounts might sway you. How about free solar panels with your purchase?
  12. welcome to the Nismo club
  13. SUV for those that live on the outskirts of Oxford Shire, own two smoking barrels, a cigar and got whisky in the trunk. Now grab my bag will you, Im an oldie who likes to go shooting on a cold sunday morning. Get with the times AMT. No use moaning about it. Ice is melting and captain planet wishes to delay the inevitable melting ice caps at the north pole Have you done your bit yet? I drive a hybrid still so I can be excused till further notice.
  14. How did you get on with this? been a while
  15. Is it better to go directly to Nissan for this. How much would this cost? Mines damaged looks like a knife was taken to it or a cat scratched it. Either way needs replacing.
  16. LOL ....been saying this for ages. There will always be a faster fish.
  17. https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/06/success/ford-electric-mustang-trnd/index.html The 900 horsepower muscle car has been unveiled exploring possibilities. This car comes equipped with a manual gearbox. Yep youre not seeing things Comes with Valet mode and boasts 1000 ft/lbs of Torque. Similar to a Bugatti Veyron There will also be an electric Ford Mustang SUV with less power
  18. Theres a porsche owner on my instagram that drives a GTS Cayman and raves about his mates ND. SlawterCH on Youtube, if you like Switzerland and POV videos. Definitely one for the future.
  19. Saw this on Instagram. Any products in UK you would recommend for rain? Where the water beads and runs off windshield. In some cases can be applied to the whole car. That way no need to use wipers especially the rear
  20. yep not much. Lighter weight makes a difference. No torque dip and a bit more power could be a different result
  21. welcome to the forum. mk only an hour away
  22. might be a guy on a track day. It may even be a guy with twin turbo or engine swap. It could be a test driver comparing the old to a new car like the supra. It may also be a cynical marketing ploy to get people talking about a 10 year old forgotten car
  23. any opinions on the ND MX5? Especially the newer 184 hp ones
  24. If its lighter and more nimble it will give it a better more real feeling. Also the lower displacement engine would probably be louder in stock form being older
  25. In regards to sound Audi are already doing artificial Sci Fi vehicle sound in their hybrid/electric SUV and its quite loud. I hear one whiz past the office everyday. Its like a mix of Tron Bike and USS Enterprise.
