  1. mine were good to 10000 miles but i did hop in and spring out
  2. IDX the classic looking car? Its a nice design,
  3. sounds like England. Street deco up soon
  4. Cool, each to their own though. I wouldnt do it without checking for a traffic cop on the overtaking or middle lane. He might be having a bad day! Live and learn.
  5. did that before and ended up being told off because everyone backed off and i didnt. Also threatened to stick something on me for answering back...Good old days lol....when i used to get followed for ages...intimidation tactics dont work anymore though... I remember my old man being waved on.. But that was in a different country!
  6. pays off when you try something different. maybe they all wanted to drive the usual
  7. I had £1245 with exhaust and commuting on the 370 nismo with 8 years NCB living in zone 5 London...Admiral
  8. I always took the mini humps on two wheels at an angle.
  9. According to PC Perkins it is. If someone is in lane 3 the overtaking lane, you cannot go past him. He needs to move over if traffic is starting to creep up on him. By then someones already up his behind flashing him or tailgaiting. Put it this way if a cop was in lane 3 you wouldnt undertake him would you
  10. LOL leave that to the cyclists.
  11. drove the Juke, actually a decent car quality wise, can see the massive resemblance to the 370z, especially the newer ones. Good thing they arent cancelling the Z line. Theres reasons to do so ....
  12. I don't think there,ll be any reveal till next year or 2020.....the chief engineer said theres another few years of the GTR also. Concept for z may be revealed in next year or 2020. Release date is probably 3-4 years off. in line with what the chief engineer of gtr mentioned in a different interview regarding next gtr. Hes under pressure to get it right after the 370. Either way if it looks anything like the current Nismo ill be interested... there's no way itll be the same power current competition kills it. I think 3 liter 400 bhp + with engine tuned from q60 would be nice for the nismo. and awd.....the next gtr could be around 650/700bhp based on the r50....i dont think itll affect sales... people looking at GTR want GTR or similar rivals
  13. Get it done! Ill be on the list! 470 BHP Twin Turbo AWD just tune it to 500+
  14. Thats what struck me the size difference between the nismo mk2 and the 350Z. But the 350z had a better seating position for me. More 90s BMW
  15. mk 2 nismo, where the LEDs are a lot of companies are now doing that extra angled front bumper, for a more imposing look. Ford and a few others are doing them. Nismo mk2 looks in general are definitely standoutish. And still up to date. The only people who believe its "long in the tooth", are the youtubers who forgot that Nissan only change their models completely every 10 years on average. Just hope the 400Z will be even better. Racing red stripes arent new, They add 5HP though
  16. still see them as exotic and petrolhead car. Why not only live once!
  17. 2 presses of start button to on position then clutch in and hold start button
  18. im sure they will return eventually.
  19. do import rev ups have a lower tax than UK rev up?
  20. yeah my bro bought a 911 non turbo £79,000. Had the same 350 BHP as the Nismo. I think it is what it is. You pay for the history, prestige, badge and know you will get a certain quality. Doesn't guarantee 100% reliability. Thing is people get the top spec Porsche and its hard to tell them apart from your caymans and boxsters if your not a car person. But variety is good Ive always said with all these finance deals available GTR is within reach for someone who previously couldnt afford it, Finance makes dreams come true. In regards to the GTR better off waiting and getting a 2012 onwards. Maybe even squeeze a 16 plate 17 shape in a year or so at around £60k. Only live once
  21. yep just do the whole panel hopefully it blends in with rest of the car after a few washes
  22. the kids love it..."woah" not everyones cup of tea but the most beautiful car you can get sub £30,000 pounds....judging by the amount of looks its definitely a head turner. Definitely getting one in future when prices are much lower to keep tbh nissan prolly thought, we dont want to get into gtr territory power wise. it needed to offer a different experience. but the next one will be more powerful im sure. probably m4 territory
  23. lol sold mine 6 weeks ago, 10k miles for £25800. looking at 24k to 40k depending on if you go new, ex demo or used. common issues are tramlining, window click, boot hook. test drive on variety of roads where suspension has to work. look out for pulling. aside from that stunning car. Slightly hard ride and heavy controls. Standard exhaust is quiet, but you get good response from back pressure. I had aam short tails resonated on mine. Still for sale!
  24. guess we can say inflation or just to keep it exclusive. Jaguars 4 pot coupe is also 50k. I rather get a 2011/2012 gtr.. just about maintenance costs and if its manageable. I reckon this is where Porsche are in a different league with their rear wheel cars. The alpine was kicking out a lot although traction and stability were off. I think this car is more around the 35 to 45k range. I think its heavier than 4c by 200 kg
