Better late than never. 9 months screening complete by DVLA lol...I think they could have designed a slicker dash and integrated a curve screen somehow. That doesn't make it look like an afterthought. But this style is the way many manufacturers are heading

My mate is about to sell his r8, re performance have said it's one of the best early r8s they have seen and it's you tube famous...
The thing about them is when they go wrong its nothing less than a couple of grand. Warranty wont cover everything especially with the age. Brakes are around £2400.....but its a nice car for the summer. Wouldn't keep it long term lol...
Probably level on maintenance costs vs GTR. I want the F Type but i dont fancy paying those rates for insurance lol...

Just out of curiousity how much did it cost for you to sort out the arch rust? Is it your daily? I found a few for sale in my area but one of them has a underside corrosion ont he MOT and the other its not shown on the MOT reports. Both are DE models too. THey're going for ~ £5k.
I've been in an S3 and they do feel plenty quick, but I've also been in a 1.8 BAM is something different.This was a while back years ago. I didn't go through with it as the body shop was more interested in insurance jobs.... I'm assuming it was going to be couple hundreds for arches. Nowadays it's more. They cut it and weld new metal apply filler and spray. Underside is doable and will also cost a few hundred. I'd budget just about a grand to fix both. Then shop around.
It's doable.

Get a DE 2003-2005...like i did Less road tax and plenty low down torque. Cheaper on Insurance too. Only issue i had was starter motor and arch rust.
Or you can go for the 370Z 2012 on wards. No issues with reliability as such over 2 years.

Enjoy the car hunting 😁
Just "hot hatch". Turbos are deceiving....It feels nimble. Its all the computing and Turbo boosting being done.

😳 that's some high price's I am only paying £400 for my Nismo
I live in a high risk area where cars and catalysts get stolen like Hyundais, Ranges, Priuses and Golfs. Fortunately no one's looking at the JDMs unless they're R3* or Supras 💀
Accidents are common too. Traveller gangs. They catch them send them to the hotel for 6 years then the gang leader replaces them with new members...all the way from north London to Hampshire it's the same gang...also near A40/M40........BBC documentary said it's an endless cycle.

Some Paint shops now have a machine that can mix paint electronically to match. They have their ways.. Maybe you can buy direct from Japan? On eBay etc.

Lol £2300 for insurance on F type. When I paid £900 on the Z. It's falling under JLR Range Rover. One of the most stolen in London. Z is still around same price so are Caymans except GTS and above lol.
Old GTRs are also coming up the similar to Cayman S and cheaper the 718 GTS.
Nissan Z - £866
Porsche Cayman 981 S - £900
Cayman S 718 - £950
GTR - £1000
Cayman GTS - £1400
F Type V8 - £2300
15 years license 14 years no claims no points...38 yo based on London. It is what it is. GTR usually fit in group 50 insurance but 50 has a lot of sub categories. Only thing I can think of is JLR thefts and value combined..

Ive got one where are you located. I bought it from Lithuania. I haven't tested it and not used it as found out it was just a battery issue. It's taken from another car but should allow the car to start to remove the fuse if you wish.

Yeah I'd have got the base and modded that then maybe get the Nismo when it was 3 years old. Auto is fine as the gig economy riders, average speed cameras make driving a manual in built up areas tedious.
We also have lots of uber drivers in priuses and 20mph zones. I remember the frustration with nismo just to get out of the area to decent roads you'd have been leveling the clutch for 30 mins in traffic... Maybe one day I'll get another. Done with Nissan for now.

leaning towards the F-Type V8 AWD tbh. Because with Porsche once you start its addictive i think. Can get one after im done with brutish, loutish noise and excess consumption and speed.

All good because 599 and insane 599XX are one of my favourite Ferraris aside from Testarossa and Enzo.

Speaking of preferences 😉
@The Bounty Bar KidJessica Lawrence nah once you've seen it, you've seen it all.
Now since the 370Z is a poor man's 599. How about an actual 599 converted to gaited manual. "Gimme me numbers". 😎. Apparently they were available to order in manual but people mostly ordered flappy paddles. Only 30 or so were bought and all GTBs apparently. Manual command 5 times the price. Can be converted and sold at profit...
Anywho back to my financial lane!

Yeah that's nice, as soon as it landed I'd swap out that steering wheel for the sport one and add some minimal ambient lighting.
I think these 991 gen have bottomed out in the 40s for now. Looks like it's missing the exhaust button. On the Caymans it's just pops and bangs and a tiny bit more volume. I couldn't tell the difference aside from that.

Take it to a wrap place. While doing your tints a 5iver lol....That part on my 370 went and all the road salt stones got into the window seal. So winding up and down scratched the window if it wasn't fresh out of the wash. Was going to replace but gave up in the end and sold it.
