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

They could tbh.

just a render based on camo photos

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

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?!

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

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!

Tomei and 2nd gear acceleration. I just like the consistent sound between shifts on the auto. A bit loud for me but sounds crazy.

ULEZ coming to a city near you
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Off Topic Discussion
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 -

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. -
What car is that originally 😂....Looks like a Note modified or something On further digging "group of 6th grade students at Gakuen Customization Department of Nissan Automobile Technical College in Japan customized an SUV to look like the 2023 Nissan Z"

Third world will move to cheap electric mopeds from China especially if their governments start championing cleaner cities. China will just get the contracts for supply and demand. Imitation scooters as happened when the governor of Lagos tried to ban polluting mopeds. People were bringing in chinese mopeds the following day. Those that could afford it. Pollution will always be a topic thats unavoidable. Saying that in South Africa, Ghana and similar places have had an uptake in EVs with charging stations going up. Synthetic fuels will come down if Porsche are interested in getting other manufacturers involved as well as govt to allow it to be sold commercially.....if not forget it.... Why cant we just use E85 and be done with it. Brazil have been using E25/E100 type fuel for years. Its not as expensive adaptation to convert current cars to run that compared to converting to EV. But new cars can be made to take it. Instead of pushing for all out Electric. They can look at Brazil who since 1976 have been running Ethanol in all ICE cars. E25 up till 2003 and recently introducing E100...Helps that they produce Corn and Sugar cane (yummy) locally. Whereas it will be expensive for UK as its seasonal + import. With Brexit makes it more expensive..... Alternative fuels might not be economically viable especially with Brexit and our sunny weather not allowing anything to grow outside for 5 months......

As predicted new protos have started appearing on dealer sites in Japan at £68-£100,000 pounds. So within a year there should be some some 6-8 million Yen Zeds. Reality usually hits when the hype dies down.

Which Type R? -
For the gamers!

Lol get a scoop for us. Would you give up the Z for one? They sound good with unequal length headers! Subaru esq obviously down on Torque from 350Z. Around a track probably not much in it being 300kg lighter. Only 36 hp down allegedly. Might be less.
-
FK8 previous gen Type R those are around 30k or more. They seem to be holding or going up! 8k depends i dont think it will be that much on certain performance cars. It took a while for the first halfords hatchback one to go down even after the saloon landed. Multiple windows and incognito trick works wonders. Im sure some ppl gt in like that. Like PS5 all over again 😂 Ford had the right idea with 0% on the Mustang. Not sure that will ever happen again though. Believe me i used to take the **** out of it too. Then realized each to their own. As id never had the new car experience. Not for everyone though. Borrowing against the mortgage seems to be popular down here. Thats a step far for me though. I have a feeling there will be lots of GR86 for sale next year. At 32k from dealers as i cant see regular enthusiast's overpaying. Sure theyll go quick due to finance deals. Maybe one or two youtubers or trust fund kids overpayin privately

Looks like a £30,000 build though...A simple conversion without the extra widebody, resprays and go faster stickers would be around £10,000-£15,000. Engine, looms, tanks out batteries and motor in. The car weight also goes up to 1800-2200kg

In terms of thefts around where I am its a mix of different groups doing the catalyst thefts etc. All groups from Europe, theres locals from all the usual communities. We have different crimes. In the more upmarket local areas they seem more affected by crime. Car theft, broad daylight break ins and catalyst are the main crimes. On Topic we were discussing ULEZ and the need to avoid its quick replication in other cities. People living in smaller towns might not care. Until they start having to pay tolls to visit the bank in the town center. It is what it is. It affects our annual meet in Ace Cafe if Euro 4/5 is implemented as part of ULEZ. Thats £12.50 to visit Ace Cafe. If replicated in other areas Brighton and Co could be next. Sure its inevitable but if anything can be done to slow the process then better. Its clear kids are more interested in EVs so not worried if in 2035 theres a ban or restrictions especially if these become weekend cars. Id have had my fun anyway. Despite all the arguments the Z as a weekend car and EV as a daily wouldn't bother me too much tbh. £12.50 is what it is to take the car out. My brother will be paying that anyway for his Supra
