  1. Still trying to find that video, where the chief engineer mentions weight in regards to going Hybrid...if its going to end up 1850 KG etc with Hybrid tech then they might as well trial it and see how it does. Im no engineer but I have a feeling the weight is making it more stable. But affecting understeer. Which they probably wish to counter with 4 wheel steering system like the NSX?! Interesting! 1550 like the 370Z Nismo....Lol I cant see that ever happening We need to look imposing, maintain stability at high speeds and keep the box tradition.
  2. LOL i think most people are waiting for that ...people are saying its noot worth paying full wack for. If youre on Xbox Forza Horizon got a new game coming and its going to be just as good! Test Drive Unlimited 2 was great. i had that!
  3. Welcome to the forum! good scenery and good roads im sure. I only know about Malaga from football!
  4. Ive heard that mentioned. But with Hybrid set up it would be heavier than the NSX at more than1800 KG I reckon...i cant remember the guys name when I get home will put the link up. But things can change from beginning of the year till now. Maybe they are going that route
  5. Possibly according to Alfonso Albaisa. But the Lead Engineer spoke at a meet and greet months back in manchester and said they didnt know if they would go with Hybrid because of the added weight. They are also more likely to keep the boxy shape according to that alfonso guy. But hey ho whatever they decide im sure there'll be a queue of people ready to buy... Seems like they are undecided and speculation is flip flopping between hybrid and similar engine. Even 8 speed auto has been mentioned I think they should go for a supercar shape. But i doubt they will change the box shape at all.
  6. Very nice indeed. Sold mine in the end to webuyanycar lol....But your example is nice.
  7. I think thats what they are going for on the R36 but keeping the R35 DNA, i cant see them getting rid of the box shape completely. Look at the this R-50...I thought based on the vision 2020 they might opt for a more supercar look. Maybe they are testing the waters with the R50 and italdesign.
  8. if based loosely on the GT r 50....Assuming Similar 3.8 V6, updated interior and exterior not much else difference apart from Lighter kerb weight say 1650 KG, 700 BHP just like the R 50.
  9. woud you buy an R36 if you had a My17 GTR with 700 BHP from Litchfield etc already? hmmm
  10. The Q60 is suppose to be the platform for the next Z. Nothing has been announced regarding the Q60 S black they showed as a concept a year ago. Its going to be tough. UK is a very sheepish market where people tend to buy cars because their mates bought it or ssomeone else has it lol. Not an overly individual market like some places Ive lived in. It would be good if they released that concept they touted. As for their other cars I cant comment.......I would be interested in a Q60 S coupe with 500BHP AWD V6. But whether they would release it in the UK is another thing. How many people would buy it. Especially if its £46,000+ with the alternatives on the market. I lived in California and in Nigeria, UK is the first country ive seen where you could be in traffic and see 4 of the same car go by you in a row and theyd all be the exact same models or similar colors. The lack of individuality and ability to think outside the box or try something new is prominent here. That affects brands like infiniti a lot. People are also not buying into JAP market as they used to. In America JAPS are still selling very well...a lot of young people drive them there.
  11. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there are 50 ppl that like it. Are there 50 ppl that would buy it? We know there are 50 ppl who can drop £900,000 on the table for a car with ease. Lol
  12. The back needs a rework, are they trying to accomodate back seats lol
  13. I got tails for sale with blue tips and 5 inch AAM. Literally came off mine today. They have 1000 miles if that on them so its settled now. RRP is around £800...I can do them for cheaper. DM me if interested. Cruising at 30-40 70-80 they are quiet under load they sound good. Tbh HFC are more important than exhaust tails. IF you do both you get a nice loud exhaust. Tails only not so bad. HFC for more gains
  14. Squeaking seat i found to be the top of the headrest rubbing against the ceiling so i moved a few inches forward or adjust the back rest to make sure its not rubbing against the ceiling and behind the seat against the shelf....also try adjusting the depth of the seat see if that makes a diff Bootlid is caused by a weight in the boot. You either remove it or live with it or try paycos trick. I make sure i click iit two times in succession and grab it quick before it catches again lol
  15. LOL 15 - 20 HP at best with High Flow Cats. You might manage 365 -370 BHP what the car really should have come with. But its prolly 0.2 seconds faster! Nismo version
  16. Mine missed it by a week or so. It was either that or pay 3k extra to get one or wait and wait and wait......................................still waiting for an ex demo in White. I gt it cheaper by 3k It works out £45 pound a month. It probably hurts me a lot more than people in a better financial position. I guess youre thinking why am I paying that when I can pay that for a car like M3 E92 or something a bit better. Thats where love of the car comes in over what makes sense. Youre driving a car that makes kids point with their mouths wide open and women say oh look at that car, while their men grit their teeth.....That alone is worth the £540 LOL
  17. IF you ever get down to 30 miles left and give it some from 1st you could end up with 4 dashes which means "good luck"..... Ive had up to 30 MPG, but it doesnt last long and this car drinks like crazy with town driving. 19 MPG...I find the trip computers not accurate lol
  18. Mk 1 Nismo very rare....I came from a 140 BHP space ship CIvic as well. Welcome!
