  1. my neighbour said he didnt mind it, because after 45 seconds it dies down and sounds sporty. but hes a petrolhead. youll notice the standard exhaust feels more powerful even though its added weight...but way to suv sounding for me. I once dropped my cousin off at midnight you could hear a pin drop. I had the stock exhaust switched the car on and he said it sounded beasty. For me its more reserved and suv like. almost doesnt suit a sports car.
  2. lol just make sure they dont come back, its going to cost a bit to repair.
  3. lol yep in one of the previous threads i mentioned this. The seat being too far back.
  4. check for shipping spacers! stock exhaust sounds like an old ML320 V6
  5. why you selling if you still got the car? too loud?
  6. you can check for the spacers yourself, just have a look at where the springs are..might be on the inside of the shock where you cant really see..if you spot it they cant then deny it being there. so best have a peak yourself before hand ..Although it helps if the car is on a ramp or jacked up
  7. depends on how bad the road is Its the Mk 2 seats that make up for it...I found it okay compared to past cars
  8. nice, love the documentary about the Z line on youtube. the 240, 260 were a great alternative to the usual eu stuff
  9. basically the final edition
  10. What year is it? looks like a later HR
  11. Better off waiting for the new model in 2020
  12. 2018 update, beginning and end of video for sound without the music
  13. Really like the C63 16 onwards.....but the Japanese design style is just different. A more risk approach with curves, sharp corners and unconventional styling. Also designed by Alfonso Albaisa. Whos working on new Z and GTR whereas the Germans prefer a rounded, straight and smooth lines approach. Playing it safer. An updated infotainment system with improved interior would be good...drive by wire is being removed due to complaints. Add to that a 500bhp Twin turbo V6 hybrid you got something that could be a hit. Similar tech to the proposed LC500 hybrid price probably looking at £60,000 for this edition. All speculation and rumours ofcourse. Infiniti Sold 10,000 q60 last year in North America. Their highest so far
  14. Project Black S (2020) Infiniti Q60 Project Black S Project Black S is a concept Q60 developed with Renault Sport Formula One Team. It was unveiled at the 2017 Geneva International Motor Show.It features a Formula One inspired energy regeneration system with a dual motor/generator unit and battery pack. Engine power specifications were not disclosed, however, it is expected to come with the Red Sport 400 engine. The first motor traction motor/generator mounts is attached end of transmission, providing direct power to the rear wheels. The second motor/generator is attached to the turbocharger, to help spool it up instantly to eliminate turbo lag at lower engine speeds. Once at higher revs, when the exhaust is flowing through the turbine and no longer has lag, it acts as a generator by siphoning off a bit of electricity and sending it to the battery. It is estimated to have an output of 500hp with the V6 engine and two electric motors. It will also feature braking-by-wire, but will ditch the Red Sport’s controversial steering-by-wire system in favour of a motor-driven unit. however, it isn't expected to go on sale until at least 2020. Possibly the base for the Z35 Nismo. Apologies for my copy paste joby
  15. Countryside cars tend to be cheaper than London cars...Generally less abused and taken care off. Ive known people who have gone as far as Scotland and Ireland to buy certain cars. My mate got his car from Cheltenham 2+ hours from London. An A3 which was going a grand cheaper than anywhere local. Was a good roadtrip...arrived at a mansion to our suprise
  16. I got £300 pound knocked off for "stonechips" had 4 stonechips! minor ones
  17. just saw a 370Z for £7500 on autotrader with 125,000 miles.......deal of the century or issues galore
  18. the bmw 335 is, my brother has it. Very torquey comes 320 bhp and m performance exhaust. Only available in u.s problem is hes out of warranty and currently spending $9000 on repairs not sure what happened but older siblings tell you stuff on a need to know basis. he says he,ll run it to the ground. Liked his car though. A bit of lag, but nice and tuneable Funny story, he once put it in sport mode sounded amazing...going through the intersection in LA, steps on it as crossing, turbo doesn't kick in till we reach other side of intersection. "I asked ages ago god dammit "
