  1. Nice hope to see pics along with @Tomato new year new car and all that.
  2. 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?
  3. 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
  4. 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?!
  5. 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
  6. If you look up where the pedals are that metal structure with the steering shaft going through it is the steering lock. Unlikely to fail on the later models. Ive got a spare if anyone needs to replace. Save a thousand pounds!
  7. Lol....Oh someone mentioned £420 in Milton Keynes. 3 hours labour 😂. Oil + Filter was £100 from Audi apparently. About right.
  8. Y pipe https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294807910659?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=27K8N4bgSBK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=qLgmErXZSUu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  9. I was looking at this but it looks slightly near whats on my car. As in not sure how many winters its got lol. Thought id send the link seeing as youre getting rid! Y pipe can check facebook marketplace https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284882564144?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=iLONm8xlRzu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=qLgmErXZSUu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  10. It lost the muscular look from the 370. Ladies werent meant to be muscular originally according to folklore. So this is in line with "Fairlady" DNA. Lol.... I cant see widebody coming from the manufacturer. Only for track spec.... Im sure the aftermarket are already onto it though. One of the famous drifters already did a slight body Chris Forsberg....Thats not a Z anymore...Car literally has every part changed bar the shell.
  11. On the inserts? Looks like its all in one unlike the 370 were its an insert might be wrong! Ive only seen it in Red or Black....Thats the first place ppl looked when I had the 370 Nismo.....then the badge lol can design a one off as in bumper itself. if you know a place thats does that not very common ofcourse. Pricey. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203825140796?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=VPxy9vhUQZi&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=qLgmErXZSUu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  12. Have you considered this along with any of the side skirts and rear diffusers above. https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/tarmac-sportz-nissan-350z-03-08-quot-370z-quot-nismo-2-style-front-bumper.html?___store=default
  13. Was always going to be subtle given the look of the car. I think the red car with stripes slightly better. We shall see though
  14. EMAC ..Car Service Plan and Warranty company. Well this isnt just any car. Its good PR if people are still driving 9 year old Audi Sports cars. Ngl a 2017 V10 or v10 plus is the dream lol....maybe when i sell up here in London and have at least 70 suitcases in the bank! Back to reality I think 350 can go and just pick up a regular A7 S line on the side?!
  15. hmm whats that V8 Twin Turbo?! Thats a big boy up there with E63 and M5 comp? I can see the appeal of the R8 over those being sports compact and trackable... Thing thats good is if it came with this type of extendable warranty and 37k repair cover limit. That gives a bit of confidence. Peace of mind. I cant imagine the cover being cheap. Its attainable and definitely opens eyes the R8. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202212052280147?atmobcid=soc3
  16. What about the older RS5 V8 NA Retractable wing..no manual. Similar power 4 seats and makes a nice sound. Cheaper maintenance parts. ngl Ideally would have wanted a red or white one back in the day!
  17. Tomei and 2nd gear acceleration. I just like the consistent sound between shifts on the auto. A bit loud for me but sounds crazy.
  18. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a42307049/nissan-z-nismo-spied/
  19. yeah the Mugen 200. I think it will be worth double in a few years. A bit like the White GT edition 100 S2000s that were going for 12k back in the day. Now like 30k and never come up for sale. Prefer the Z as well
  20. I wanted the FN2 back the day but couldn't find a nice one for £6k. I liked the double digital dash. I had the 1.6 ep2..... 1.8 EX FN so came with the sat nav. 5 years of reliability no real bills aside from service and the usual. FN2 does need softer suspension setup though. A guy in my area had the Mugen in White.
