You considered GTR?

Theres a guy currently living in Japan says he,ll bring it back when he moves. Cant remember his name though. The Proto Z is still 11 million Yen. When they finally get released theyll be around 7 to 8 million i reckon after the hype. Which is high for a Z34.2. Nissan had a stop production because of recalls on the manual. So thats probably delayed things a bit. Lol Like ive said many times this car is not worth a penny over 45k as its not a new car underneath. Judging by the prices on the proto right now (£60k). Any cars this year will be 9 million plus i reckon. Couple Protos are available now at £60k plus with delivery miles.

Any videos would be great from cold starts to taking off. Or some POV.

quickest ive seen a Z sell lol.

Still looking only seen USA ones and ppl not willing to sell separately.

Lazy country man. Insurance jobs pay 4-5 times more. When I crashed the 350 rear quarter panel. My bodyshop charged me £400 to straighten and respray it. If i went through insurance he would charge them £2000. At which point they wanted to write the car off. Made no difference cars off road now anyway. I asked a bodyshop about a respray for my brothers Supra to black. They said they wouldn't take it on as they could be taking on 6-7 insurance jobs that week each paying a good amount. Sad times.

Must be tricky to get to the screws underneath the hatch after removing the plastic trim. I'm wonder if the clips click in. There looks to be a lot of them on v2 spoiler. Once the screws are off is it a case of using fishing line to undo the glue or tape to separate the spoiler from the body. Then hoping the clips dont keep it stuck.

Theres a Mk2 spoiler on Ebay if youre still looking. Just the issue of shipping from UK

Lots of Zeds and GTRs on the big screen for once. Been a while. Ill take the red car unveiled by Nissan last year or this White performance with similar wheels. Longer hood below is ripe for a v8/v12 transplant. Poor mans 599!

Would be good to get a closer look at this car. Jheeze! Just saw you picked it up from London. How does it drive?

Dont worry. Once the wind is in her hair there wont be too many complaints. Tempted to put mine up and get a convertible but a 5th Z is madness lol

Would be good to see it!

Emelia Hartford from YouTube is as well. Not a bad place to launch your acting career with a Hollywood Director. Netflix doesn't count!

So the Lamborghini movie is more of a drama about the character of Feruccio Lamborghini and how he got started with the company and his rivalry with Enzo Ferrari. Nothing special a bit low budget. Its not what I was expecting but could pass as a decent TV movie. Does burn an hour and a half and an interesting insight to Lamborghini. Available to download

Get rid of the love story or keep it to a minimum! I spotted a Formula 1 type car possibly the final race in the film I think there will be license tests since its based on a rookie driver coming through GT Academy via the gaming route. I reckon theyll try to attach some relation to game there with some humour chucked in. Someone on the video mentioned racing normal cars on the track. Hard to see as its mostly academy and professional based. Wouldn't put it past them to include an unofficial Sunday race for fun with some lower HP cars. I think Nissan and Sony are doing this since others like Lamborghini and Ford have done theres. Plus its marketing for them and millions play the game...Some criticism on Sonys previous game adaptations like Uncharted. We shall see though.

Mr Akio Toyoda turned up in this apparently Toyota Century

did you sign up to any R8 Talk forums? Seems to be the main one.

Good point. It is what it is....We know how much needs to be budgeted on these cars. On the Z I accept is a £2000 jobbie for proper tires and brakes befitting the car. Just dont tell me its £700 for an oil change because you thought it was a Porsche.....when its a similar simplicity to the R8....less than 1hr lol...and its probably not there best mech on the job who will drink tea and shoot darts in the backyard for the rest of the time charged on a Friday. Ill accept £400 quid (3hours+disposal) from Milton Keynes Audi is reasonable as commented...not £700 from London lol. Sure Ferrari is Ferrari....£1200 drain is not a biggie in a £250k car Quick Oil air filter changes 700 pounds give me, ill call out a mech pay him £150 and keep the rest. Ill even top up half tank E5 and still have enough to place bet on City winning the league. Thanks Lol

Nice hope to see pics along with @Tomato new year new car and all that.

Third party companies like EMAC can be a good alternative. All about reading the small print. Many of these companies try to be smart not covering certain parts. I saw back in 2020 warranty was around £2000 direct from Audi. What is it now with no excess? Can give EMAC a ring and compare. Obviously nothing is better than going direct! How long are you planning on keeping the car?

Lol nahh...You can get it for a year or two and look into the V10?! Sounds crazy ...but my older brother and his wife were paying something crazy for his 911. I reckon these will go back up slightly. Maybe allowing an opportunity. Unfortunately V10 went back up slightly. The guy in the video claims he would do it for £180. He says that now till a bunch of R8s start turning up. That will change to £400 really quick. No one can dispute Haldex, Mag Ride faults, Transmission service costs they are what they are on these cars. Warranty for mag ride and engine out jobs.... and Service plans could be costly but for peace of mind

No problem. Which Invidia Gemini do you have? Is it V2? Im guessing youll try short tails first on the new car before the gemini?!

Ive had 2 Nismos covered 30k miles i doubt you will have any issues. It would be the later version thats fitted. Yeah it better to be safe than sorry. Mine is pulled although i have a spare lock Im not sure what fitted from new means. Maybe he meant later version of the steering lock
