loool he was quick off the mark. Edited that later. See original post

why have Ford still got this listed on autotrader? Unless your number plate doesnt end BZ

wrong where?

4900, went to see a convertible yesterday. mechanically ace. Just needed coolant pipe replacing and new radiator fan drove well. roof wasnt working at all.

mine cost a whopping £25, cheaper than £100 repair job on diamond cut alloys. Whether they ruin the look is up for debate. I think its a nice touch on the nismo.

DE 2003-2005 276 bhp more low down torque 310 hp with hardware and tune HR 2006-2009 higher revving also consumes more oil 2008-2009 313bhp standard? up to 335 bhp with hardware and tune

Civics very good reliable cars maybe not the new one and not the best insulated. Hows 5 years with no real electric, mechanical issues sound. How it should be. Shame many cars cant compete with that level of trouble free driving. Not a bad car not even close.

checked one out today. Roof wasnt working couldnt hear the motor plus roof needed changing mechanically it was in good condition had it inspected Phoned around no one fixes the electrics just change the roof

With brexit and our sheepish market I dont think they will. The Q60 isnt the most economical from the figures but it is a tuned 3.0 liter and heavier than the 4 series by 200 kg Nissan service and source the parts. You wouldnt need Infiniti dealer. Ive seen infiniti cars when getting my nismo serviced. Parts can be sourced from US and Japan. Dealers have a lot more to gain from Finance than cash. But I see what you mean. Ive only seen one q60 on the road in 2 years and a couple of q50s. Theres also some tuning potential. I posted up in the media thread a few weeks ago some guy who was getting close to 11 second quarter mile in his q60

Get aux to bluetooth even better, if you have steering wheel audio controls can probably wire into the new unit if not youll have to make a playlist,

that my old Nismo. Hope its treating you well. I thought the fluid change is around 25,000-30,000 miles.

Yep saw the notification from a news app. The market isnt really there. Once they move to EV I dont think they will return. Most likely any evs will be through Nissan. Nissan may add another 4 door luxury car and carry on with the leaf. Its a shame but the main focus is USA and Asia markets. USA has a more diverse and open market. The Q60s are just sitting on the lot. Nissan will continue to look after the remaining customers. The prices are going to drop drastically

Think 2.5 months in Japan stood out for me! Congrats on retiring from IT. What a weight off shoulders. I cant wait for my time to come! Good luck on your future endeavours. Sounds like a round the world trip. Throw in North America and South America then yea!

lower your seat

The one im going to check tomorrow has a stock exhaust which isnt bad. As its convertible it gets loud in the cabin right? Even with the roof up?

late reply. Resonated tails like I had were not as loud as non resonated. It sounded more refined but still loud enough when on the gas and on cold start. I had aam short tails. Not loud enough to annoy people. non resonated tends to be more raspy and louder by a little bit.

welcome...you got a zed yet?

Good to see people signing up here everyday with new buys. Welcome and enjoy. Hope for a long summer!

I think as time goes on you'll love it more. I came close too, but those other cars dont really provide the same satisfaction. People look as its quite rare but also the design is timeless much like the 350

welcome to the forum

Got my eye on a few. Was going to get the Nismo 370 which I had before but going to leave it. Maybe Ill keep it for a few years and see what happens with any announcements as that always affects prices of previous. Any mods planned?

welcome considering a convertible myself. Yep I assume ill set aside £1000 for roof etc if I got one

Not cheap on petrol. I could get a TT but the numerous issues and the less soulful drive is not really appealing. Also they are so common. The car can get 23-28 mpg avg over time on extra urban roads if youre driving around the city it will drop to 18mpg if you floor it 16.8 mpg just like the GTR. I used to take mine for drive on motorway to get premium fuel across town almost every week. Makes a difference to the mpgs. Some weeks were £30 on fuel other weeks when I put my foot down £50-£60. I once went for a drive on sunny saturday. Windsor, farnham, hounslow, denham, central london. I covered 50 miles hard driving within the law. Kept an eye on temperature. I used £20 which is 4 gallons . On a car like this its not bad when you think how much smaller engines with turbos would use. You wana ride a rollercoaster you got to pay up or you can always get a small hybrid coupe like I did with no power and a £1000 battery . Oh and kids love the 370. So its worth it!

Its not going to be £40,000.... Based on the way it looks its already been a hit with the online car community. It wont be more expensive than the top spec leaf which cost £36,000 as its the first release by Honda. It will most likely be £26,000 to £32,000. Who would buy this over tesla model 3. Younger people that arent interested in saloon looking family car. People that want something that looks cool and stands out from the common stuff on the road. Something different and unconventional. There are also rumours of the coupe version which is also a concept and has been put on hold to see how this does when released. Although highly unlikely to release this year. The chief designer wants it to be released this year. Take a city like London 30 miles across you could easily do a return trip to the south east on one charge. Honda have said its a city car not an intercity grand tourer

lol, Each to their own. To be part of the Porsche club makes sense to get a decent spec. I know its a porsche, but a 4 pot turbo can be had in many similar cars from VW tbh. If im getting a porsche it needs to be better than a base 4 pot. , 3.4, 3.8.....not 2.0 but everyones different. I just dont see porsche as a 4 cylinder even though they offer it same with jaguar and others.
