I saw a thread here years ago regarding these meets. Not necessarily jdm or Z meets, but the general types you get in places like ace cafe london and sharnbrook. Ive been and seen one pink 350z at sharnbrook in 2016, I didnt bother taking my car I went with a mate in his m3. Really couldnt be bothered to take my car.
I noticed a lack of Z cars in any of these meets. Although I see gtrs.
Most of the Z drivers ive seen, seem to be mature so maybe ive answered my question.
Here are examples:
What do you guys think?

Keyword travel,
Just wait I guess or get a manual lol

Saw it on youtube some american guy said its not wrap. Was an auto. Dont think ive ever seen one listed on autotrader. Do nissan do that colour brand new?
Go on autotrader now. Spotted 3? All manual though. Like the salesman said to me. Just drive manual mannnn. Whats your budget? How old can you go?

Resonated Nismo fitting 5” tips in stock, most popular option we sell for Nismo.
Whats the different between titanium and steel. Is it just the weight?
-
Resonated? Those are non resonated. Louder and more drone according to reviews. Resonated are higher quality methinks. Thanks

£803 pounds for nismo fitment!

I’ve got a 911 turbo which is absolutely awesome and 0-60mph in around 2.8secs
However I think the Nismo is probably more exciting that any normally aspirated 911 apart from the GT3 and GT3RS. There is no way a Carrera 2S or 4S is with 3 times more than the Nismo.
Mid £20s for a 2017 Nismo with 3k miles is a bargain. Bit concerning regarding clutch slipping after 3k miles or so, the original clutch on a previous modified BMW M3 was still going strong after 110k miles. I have however heard of a clutch component failing on another Nismo after 5k miles
Be interesting to see how you get on with the tramlining
Ive some experience driving cars with worn slipping clutches. I drove my 350z with a high worn clutch. This just releases a smell in the cabin when youre riding it or having it engaged on a hill or in and out of engagement in traffic. So im.assuming it already slipping. But when accelerating I cant see the rev counter jumping its pulling smooth all the way. Its doesnt happen often much like the tramlining. So I have to insist they look into it.
I've only been driving 9 years so this is my second performance car after 350z. Which I had to move on.or id have been spending another £2500 on top of the 2k during 18 months ownership.
I do realise porsches are different breed of car. You get what you pay for. Nissan clearly spent all their vouchers on the performance cars because their base cars arent as good as honda.

The Caster Angle is adjustable using shims, increasing the Caster Angle increases the stability of the vehicle. Will report back once it’s been adjusted.
The worry is that they may make the car worse than it already is but hopefully it improves the handling. Like ekona said these guys are suppose to know their car inside out. But seems like they needed a printout and calls from you to sort it. One test drive should have told them what they needed to know.
Im.back there on 28th they said I didnt tell them during original booking, so this time we,ll see. They gave me a micra courtesy car. Worse than a jazz. The pulsar they had with 13 miles on clock had no petrol. But yet they are next to a gas station. The plastics were still on, I asked if the car had even been tested before I ended up tramlining into a guard rail...
Funny thing is they have 15 staff all in the sales room having a meeting and only 2 staff in service area with 5 customers waiting. No updates had to call to find out they had washed my car when I clearly stated no wash. Disorganized, lady had no clue regarding what a minor service entails. Lol
Ive used sly but dudes 70 miles away. Also this service was free.

Mines going in on wednesday, the tramlining hasnt been a major issue, it happens once a week on really bad road. I drive everyday..ill still bring it up and see if they can get me an alignment and tracking done. Overall I cant complain.
I mean I drove my mates m3 e92... by comparison the steering was way too light and no real feedback.
350z had good feedback on heavy 19s and a nice weighty feel, not old school bmw heavy, but a gd balance. This ones similar.
Im getting clutch checked, boot, service done full inspection, and alignment checked....
Clutch is slipping slightly already....
I bought the car for mid £20s 2017 nismo with 3000 miles ex demo..got 2 free services + breakdown. so its not gona perform like my bros 2016 porsche 911 na that cost £70,000, but is it really 3 1/2 times the car??????

Just booked the car in to my local HPC to check over due to tramlining and also an oil & filter change now the car has done 1260miles.
HPC informed me that they could not check the 4 wheel alignment unless I paid £120 to get the 4 wheel alignment done as they said Nissan would not cover under warranty
Going to call Nissan UK as the car is only 2 weeks old.
Excuse me? Kidding right?! Wtf...

Sounds similar to mine howeve mine is in Dunlop SportMaxx GT600
Dunlops, must be the amount of complaints from customers, bridgestones are no better than budget,
Have a feeling its the alignment and tracking or something in the suspension. Im taking it in on the 7th.
Theyll prolly give me a glorious micra, so I asked for automatic...

I’ve read that the exhaust note is a bit of a let down alright
. I’ve heard some clips of the AAM short tails which sound good and look like pretty good value.
I saw some videos, in america they get non resonated aam tails dirt cheap. From torqen they are £680 resonated, stainless steel. Or full system invidia for £1000...both not too loud.
The stock exhaust post 2015 is worse than some 2 liters out there lol, the aygo my mom got had a louder down shift and thats a 1.4 auto or something lol

Mine tramlines a bit too, calling in on monday I got a few bullet points for them to work on,
Bridgestones suck, nearly lost it yesterday, took me half a second to react, might get a new set,
The tramlining is only happening on bad roads, the car as whole is less stable then my 350, I had tramlining on a406 yesterday that was bad, it goes away after 10 seconds....
Plus need an oil change
-
Wheres your local? Getting custom tails made, leaving the rest. Thats all you done? Did you change anything else?
-
Nobody? Wow.....
-
Theres me thinking why I have to travel. Mill hill westway and the one recommended above are high performance centers. They know the car inside out.
-
Im caught up between aam short tail (resonated) and invidia gemini full system for my 2017 nismo, £320 pound difference. On invidia is stainless steel or titanium better?
If anyone is near london with aam short tails and near stock on the rest will like to have listen. Thanks

Christ, time for an oil cooler lol

is the genuine arm bar from Nissan £250 per side?
is the genuine arm bar from Nissan £250 per side?
More from Nissan ! Get them from one of the many traders on here is your best bet. the cause of my knocking was banana bar bushes and arb drop links.
Cool thanks
-
i know these might be different but why do they have the similar names, doesnt one sit higher up than the other on the suspension set up
Not buying them just seeing which parts are which
