  1. I think the reason it changes so much is a lot of mature drivers complain to manufacturers hence MY 17 updates. So your hardcore versions aren't so hardcore anymore. Catering to a different audience but trying to keep original customer happy. There's emissions and strict regulations for non EU. So most feasible route is 3.0 Litre twin turbo V6. Nismo version 475 BHP to rival current M cars. Which by then will be 500 BHP+ probably Try to be less cynical. If the Infiniti Q60 Black S gets released that will probably be the basis of the next generaion. It may not be purist. But what is in 2018. Everything is moving to more subtle environment friendly eventually to Electric and huge tax on modern petrols and diesels. At least Nissan are trying to maintain some sort of heritage in regards to Sports cars and hardcore fanbase and are paying the price heavily with crappy sales in EU and Asia. Only US seems to buy these.. Hardcore version = slow selling too niche GT version = broader audience but stifled by biased market towards german market purist = purist not a big enough market to recoup RND. manufacture, marketing costs A new Turbocharged version with smart design will increase sales. jap cars in general will always be slow selling compared to german anyway For Nissan a lose lose situation either way.....Too expensive and people will go elsewhere. too cheap and lose a lot of characteristics, engine, design etc
  2. possibly changeable AWD/RWD like the premiums who knows, but that mode would add to costs
  3. Yeah a London youtuber DMODeejay ran one. Who knows who the winner is, prolly his mate!
  4. lol sounds like the new phil mitchell, family man and reformed. jk . I rather go HPI clear tbh. All well and good that body panels line up. What about internals and structure of the car., frames, suspension bits etc. Hav eair bags been deployed and repaired and reset. Save the hassle and get a fresh one. Hard enough to sell as it is
  5. Add me in Please. Im local and never go there. But ill be there for this. Is there a convoy anywhere else or is it just a standard meet and leave?

    NISSAN DAY

    the same GTR lot that dont even acknowledge 350s and 370s LOL. Suprise!! Only ever spoken to one in traffic. Young guy!
  7. I second what ponsonby said. If youre light on pedal you could do it on 1 tank and a bit. Cars quite forgiving on long stretches.It will be cheaper than transport When I got mine i didnt want to wait, so i trekked up to Birmingham with my 350z nice drive, no fatigue. Got there under two hours from London. Then drove back the Nismo. Wow what an experience the first time. big difference over the 350. More torque and nicer all round
  8. make sure you test drive on different roads! bad ones included
  9. Can you pm me re exhaust! Thinking of selling my car.
  10. Just an analogy, im no audio guru.
  11. Clutch issues like clutch burning. Nissan say to stop riding the clutch. Even though ive been driving 10 years and never had this issue. Of resting foot on clutch who does that. . Anywho I seen that at mill hill they wouldnt let me take it as a courtesy lol. Depreciation of only £3000 from what a 10,000 mile one might cost you. I reckon you can get two years servicing or two services and breakdown as standard. Test the clutch on a hill, holding it and see if you can smell it. Give it some and see. Drive on variety of roads and check if its tramlining. Check windows for clicking. See how it copes with braking. The 350 is a more stable car on motorway. More economical, sounds better,
  12. My mileage is at 8000. I think we spoke on friday. You getting another performance car?
  13. The car has less body roll and is firmer and active. Theres a lot more going on in the steering over bad roads. If you watch tiff needells nismo gtr review. Put it this way if you got weedy arms youll get tired after driving it or grow new muscles. Steering and controls are heavier. Handling is different. You need to make adjustments when the tramlining occurs. Brakes are probably more firm but fade exists unless you change the discs to grooved and get performance pads etc The car also tramlines under heavy breaking on bad roads Hit a camber pothole etc youll be having to make adjustments. Thats your feedback. And ive been told by their technicians to live with it. :/ Meanwhile the 350 has none of these issues. And is more stable on motorway. Ride is firm
  14. Things usually work out for ppl in the aston owners case. Who knows from his sympathy, the guy probably never do it again after public exposure. The messed up thing is police confiscate so much cash but do victims get funded for things like this. They just close the case and tell you to go through your insurance company. I will check out that camera
  15. Youd have to get a standard for automatic. Gt version Issues to look out for on new ones Clutch Tramlining Bootlid Clicking window Uneven tire wear steep depreciation on gt models Tires £400+ per pair Drinks like an alcoholic, 19 mpg city Attracts hoodlums, tailgaiters etc Budget exhaust aam short tails, invidia Good car though lol
  16. Rumours, no mention from gtr creator. Only that new gtr wont be around till 2021. So z may come first and be based of infiniti q60 black concept
  17. Ask adrian at torqen. He did his I think, I saw on youtube. Big brake kit. Bigger brembo calipers and discs
  18. There are probably reasons for the exhaust being quiter than a renault...foreign cars seem to have more rules applied compared to the germans. Not sure why
  19. I think americans sometimes do that especially if they live in the sticks. Crazy ppl ordering cars like pizzas. Be prepared to catch a plane to.scotland, oh wait its a regular 350z loads of good ones around! Just got to look and be patient
  20. Go on ebay and look for cellink b main battery. Lasts 10 hours. Dashcam will come on from movement, vibration etc. Theres some good hidden style chinese ones available, then get a strip tint for more privacy they dont get tempted to try stealing camera
  21. Because he got a kid he got off scot free.....
  22. You can enjoy the sounds of the car without disturbing the neighbourhood. Think beats by dre, studio version. The world hears are swoosh you hear robotic v6 sound from a sci fi movie. Lol
  23. Loool, this is caused by a useless weight underneath the boot trim weighing it down. Could be wrong but saw a youtube video on it.
  24. The amount of times a seller has said this is not an investment and I still clicked send on the transfer. I emptied my account on a 350Z. Cost £5000 couldnt sell it so many timewasters. Nissan bought it for 3k and sent it to auction and took a hit of £400. £2600 to new owner. But I enjoyed it and the full exhaust system it had. The Z are full of character. Only live once, so live and live good!
  25. I uber when it snows or get a lift lol
