Saw that race, after the disastrous 720s Gt2RS race.........I expected the result. My brothers mates 4c dusted the RS3 sedan. The weight makes all the difference. Also the autobahn videos show it going to 165 mph plus. Very tempting indeed.

*** TORQEN *** 350z and 370z rare genuine Nismo parts
GranTurismoEra replied to Adrian@TORQEN's topic in TORQEN
You went all out -
lol they said that many times apparently. The original 911
-
ahhh the dreaded configurator. Thats what dreams are made of. If you wish it to happen enough it will! Dont step on dreams post brek zit anything is possible

Im sure ive seen a porsche with the light bar years ago....she was gone. My bro has the 911 carrera non turbo. Very nice cars indeed. One day maybe a Cayman 3.4/ GTS or Carrera T is enough for me. If I ever hit the lotto GT2RS for sure. 4 pot porsches We cant say the signature design is long in the tooth its a premium brand.

saw it, thought it sounded awful....also not much quicker. They need to use a proper turbobback exhaust on the next gen

Scotland's NC500 MAY 2019 road trip.
GranTurismoEra replied to Irn Bru's topic in National Events & Shows
Sounds good, what about speed cameras, police vans, radar guns and neighbourhood watch? Anything to be worried about? Keeping within limits obviously. 10 mph over the limit is grossly irresponsible ill have you know! and yes if someone wasnt a car nut or didnt like driving that could be an issue -
Scotland's NC500 MAY 2019 road trip.
GranTurismoEra replied to Irn Bru's topic in National Events & Shows
Ive watched a few videos. From Youtube I can see people recommend 5-7 days to take it all in. But I see people are limited for time. Ill see if I can come, need a car though! As in Z -
Scotland's NC500 MAY 2019 road trip.
GranTurismoEra replied to Irn Bru's topic in National Events & Shows
Are you doing the whole route in 3 days? -
563 bhp with regen braking and electric motors. People are saying to dump the tech to keep costs down. Looks like they are going to make it. But I cant see it being less than £65,000 new. Not sure what theyre doing about the weight

Yeah, he did. The Japanese nicknamed him mr fix it and made an anime for him. Doesn't matter now his reputation is tarnished. Well in the real world if your daddys name isnt Nissan then you cant just take money out the pot like the Glazers. Especially if youre appointed by the board. I may be wrong Surely his 7 figure annual salary could have bought him all that anyway. Ultimate greed. Renault are having their meeting to discuss, but Japanese authorities want to keep the Nissan Renault Mitsubishi alliance going. Ask him how he pleads Jail or Exile?? Let him go retire.

saw that lol... shares have plummeted too. The guy took home £34,000,000 over 5 years and that still wasnt enough. He also took other directors bonuses for himself. He is getting removed soon. All revealed by a whistleblower

modern = more complex = more headache. Interesting design but overly busy

welcome to forum Common issues are banana arms, rocker cover, clicking hubs, radiator, arch rust. Aside from that still more reliable than the average German. Make sure service history is present. A healthy engine is smooth at idle. Check gearbox its normal for it to be notchy when cold. My one started having issue engaging 2nd gear like the linkage was going. Imports have a different vin number to UK GT. UK ones have brembos as standard.

I had mine for 18 months. Spent £2000 bought for £5200 traded at £3000 for the 370Z Nismo. Banana arms, rocker covers, disc + pads, service much more. Had a few comments at work. But hey ho if youre a petrol head you wont be driving Tom Dick and Harrys collection. Each to their own as they say. One day I might look at a 240Z. Looking at getting another 370Z late next year. Got an itch to scratch with an RCF or LC500 one day but not now. The 350 for me is a better car than the 370Z. Better on fuel, better seating position, sounds better, more rigid and stable, doesnt tramline and still turns heads. The nismo was more of a looker and more refined. You hear a certain sound turn around and there goes the 350. Cant miss it.

lol 500 trims and 30 models. Feels special stepping into a derivative of another model.

370z Nismo automatic in UK? do they exist?
GranTurismoEra replied to IanLivy's topic in 370z General
No autos for Nismo in UK. As the salesman said "just drive manual dude" -
Oh my... Spank me and call me Mary!
GranTurismoEra replied to The Bounty Bar Kid's topic in Other Cars
reminds me of the mercedes from few years back. nice. People complain about not getting the "feel"......no windshield feel the wind in your face -
Why The 370Z Is Still The Best New RWD Coupe (Review
GranTurismoEra replied to vroom811's topic in Videos
review the latest nismo? you will need to 2 hands on the steering wheel in that. The steering wheel feels lighter and on rough roads it can pull. thats why i felt way more stability in the 350z its heavier with a solid steering wheel. -
ahh the 350 somewhat forgiving compared to 370 with fuel. Which can cost you double in a week depending on the weight of your right foot finally a review with useful information. Good one PH

z40i is around 335 bhp then with a twin scroll turbo?
-
4 pot turbo option could be a reality if they become desperate. If mercedes get involved to boost sales. Any v6 will probably appear as a top spec or nismo version. No its not a good base for a Z. The slk 250, slk350 amg and 500 amg v8 versions are for a different market plus they weigh quite a lot. Nice cars though 4 pot version will be similar to jaguars 4 pot but cheaper. It could be priced similar to TT (35-46k) with 300bhp. But then Im only interested in the v6. If it keeps the Z alive they should consider it. A v6 twin turbo with 400 for the gt and lighter weight and 450hp nismo would be nice though. At that power rear wheel biased awd is a good idea with a manual and dual clutch auto option. Would cost an arm though. They would need to develop a better auto gearbox similar to dsg for any 4 pot as the 370z auto is slow on shifts GTR R36 will probably be around 600-700 bhp. I dont think gtr will be affected. What will hit GTR more is their pricing strategy. If 100k plus..and Z nismo is 55k with close to 500bhp Despite all this it might still not sell well in uk. Its Japanese.....US they will love it there you are right though... what kept the 350 doing well was it undercut the market. Nissan got hype now. why they think the 700 bhp r50 by italdesign is a good idea

Why The 370Z Is Still The Best New RWD Coupe (Review
GranTurismoEra replied to vroom811's topic in Videos
saw this the other day good review -
lol.... Hopefully mr chief designer alfonso wont give up the ghost....simply putting a q60 engine and altering the design is still a big investment. It can be competitive with the rivals. Bigger question is whos still buying jap sports cars. See what happens with the supra. It might force Nissan to strike up a collaboration with Mercedes?
