This doesn't deserve 3 threads....

£5500 Right now due to high mileage. You can probably play on the fact you had it resprayed and treated which many other zeds havent had the same treatment done yet. Also new clutch is a good selling point. zman is probably closer to the real value. But good to start high then work downwards.

try 2 in 12 months

if looking at convertibles, Arent there lower mileage ones available? Look at maintenance/MOT/Service history. Some early years 2009-2013 were prone to steering lock issue. So check the fuse isnt still plugged in. Look up "steering wheel lock 370z" While the convertibles are nice, I found most places replace the roof. But mechanically it can be difficult to find someone to fix it if it stops working...if you arent DIY esque or a dab hand at repairing things I usually use clickmechanic when buying cars to have it inspected. For extra peace of mind unless you know a mechanic yourself. So you know what issues you might have to sort if any

Admiral used to send viral emails regarding multi car policies. Not sure if they still do multi car policies.

Judging by the name youre joking...

Hi All, I already have a car which im looking to change to a Z using my no claims. Im looking into insuring a second car using 0 years NCD. If I was to keep the car for longer than a year. Would I start building NCD on a second car? Would that be fine to apply to another car within 2 years if I was sell and buy something else later. Basically is it possible to build "Parallel No Claims Bonus" even though your current core Policy already as 10 years. Since the multi car policy is becoming rarer and NCD isnt really applicable on secondary cars. Thanks in advance

Both cars mk1 and mk2 are headturners and look great. No car is perfect something has to give. The fact it doesn't look like much else is a plus point In terms of classics it just depends. Who would have known the 1M would become. It might do due to the fact they may not make another Z or it would be the last NA car to come from this line also its limited numbers. Unless they reintroduced the Silvia with similar platform to MX5 Talking another 5-15 years to see that happen maybe. The 350z are going up though. Good examples are far and few between. Travelling far to find one is the norm now.

Interior on the later BRZ are much better than GT86. Probably just me. I wonder how a supercharged BRZ/86 would fare against an Alpine? or something with 250-350 BHP The lights do look good on the later models

Are you supercharged? Any plans for Alcantara dash etc?

They're busy building plush offices in China. Well the designer is doing press stuff and flying around. This isnt a priority. Plus they haev to shave 20 seconds from their current record on the nordschleife. Good luck!

About time..... Although Id still buy a MY17/18 just for the experience. I dont think theyll release that in the UK.

Its long in the tooth. Can it and back to the drawing board.

Must be nice living in the sticks where you can get off the driveway without harrasment and traffic jams. I was averaging 18 MPG but on motorway that jumps to around 26mpg if you reset the trip. Mostly town and dual carriage way twice a week to get fuel. That was a 17 Nismo. Covering around 80-100 miles a week. £35-£50 per week. The 350 was a lot better. 24MPG average. Yes some spirited driving but 90% of the time sticking to 30mPh and driving reasonably.

isnt it 20mm + 3 mm shims at the front?

Where are Tarmac?

crazy story I used to go down there from north west london. 75 miles one way. But you get there and the work gets done on the spot. labour charges arent over the top. He fixes GTRs and the Zeds. I once saw him give a guy 40% off a repair on a GTR...I think the costs are reasonable. Plus hes got 20+ years as Nissan Tech so knows his stuff.

kaizer motors is in Rochester, Kent. East of Bexleyheath by like 15 miles.

the mileage may be high as was probably an ex demo and the salesman was driving it. I think 26-27k is about right. Take a look at the springs again for those blocks. Short tails improve the sound. Things can get loud changing the whole system or adding high flow cats to short tails.. There are also resonators on the midpipe. Drone isnt an issue with resonated aams or equivalent between 50 and 80 mph. Maybe look at insulating the trunk area.

true, I walked as far as I could, only got 70% of the way then came back to Z stand. But I parked in the shopping center so was already half dead when I reached the Z area. Only bumped into some guys by chance. Then hung with them for 2 hours and bumped into payco and others. There were still up to a thousand people and hundreds of cars there. Although this was my first time attending. I think a lot of people didnt show up, which meant I didnt have to park in the shopping center as there were lots of spaces

how so?

magazine style shots. Good stuff

Nice pics.

See you at Ace Cafe.
