Whats in 1 for words fail? Id be interested in 3. Happy to forward it on at the next meet if im done 😅

Had the one before the facelift. Brakes would be in line with Supercar possibly around £2500. More expensive than GTR brakes. Id expect service to be around £1000-£1600. Tires well it is what it is. Im assuming this has mag ride and pre s tronic gearbox or gated manual. I would if i had expendable income just for the experience. I would budget £6000-£8000 per 10,000 miles. Thats if nothing major goes wrong. Service, Tires, Brakes and some fuel maybe. Maybe can take out a warranty that covers the common and major issues instead of being left out on small print. Then again is it worth the paper.

Yes the bulb is what you need as the projector lens all Z from 2006. The 370 does take HID. 6000k is perfect and doesnt give off that irritating to others blue light. In terms of lumens i cant see the brightness being brighter with all that blue than a pure white light. 6000k may have a hint of blue to make the light cooler instead of warmer like the yellowish ones.

Oof looks good the print does.

my mate lives in Quedgeley... If we do a rally near there maybe you could join us at the final few stops?

if you took the A12 to M25 after 7:00 it would probably be 40 mins. For me it used to take a solid hour from Northolt. Very far, racking up 130 miles on a return trip. I stopped going but went once or twice in the summer after 2020. Much closer for East London.

For me in the city it is. I have a very famous saying. "Each to their own". Manual in Track toys, weekend cars, driven every few days sure. Daily hell nah. Hard pass. Ive been "engaged" for a decade. The left foot now rests on top of the foot rest CEO style. When a manual driver tailgates you, its not because theyre annoyed at you taking your time. Its the literal pain in their left ankle and cramp on the shin from downshifting for the 100th time like a Hollywood movie. Manuals are fun at 9am on a sundays drive in Windsor country, when Daisy is at home.

How longs the drive for you?

Just a glimpse or different point of view. I think there's more videos coming soon. Losing the group as usual and I wasnt the only one lol I didnt manage to capture Texaco and the layby stops. I missed an idea to stand in the rain and watch everyone leave the 2nd to last stop. The pub owner was very welcoming telling us about his VAG days working for Audi..The cheapest coffee and free drinks.....Im sure we,ll stop there next time Peak District is on the menu. Sorry @Willsy1980might be 2024 😅. Jk...Got stuck behind a Cazoo but nice elevation there. See you on the next one!

Lol...Autos faster my next car will probably be DSG by the time you're doing gear 1 to 2 clutch in and out....my slushbox has me at 70mph. In auto mode it shifts smooth. In manual mode its aggressive, jerky and laggy depending. If you want to keep pace with average hot hatches and coupes. Auto no matter what ppl say is faster than manual. Sure your about 0.7 second off real performance ZF and DSG boxes compared with manual theres no chance lol Even the dct in the E92 is not as smooth as they make out despite being DCT. Its an aggressive box made for a sporty drive. Funny thing about the 9 speed slushbox its in the new Z and the Nissan Frontier in US. Its more of a GT than a performance box I love manual had it a decade...they tend to be more engaging and weight saving but having the auto is nice in London also the 7th gear makes a difference in economy for long distance drives. I dont have to worry about having to downshift again because the guy in front cant do 30mph. Each to their own. I had the manual nismo it was ok until you came up behind Daisy...Or hit traffic. Manual was amazing during Lockdown on empty roads in the country. Depends on use tbh...i tried drifting the nismo that was easy...with the auto in manual mode plus the camber on the GT being different i think it was more of a challenge.

Nice pics. Hope you're already looking forward to the next one! 4 months till warmer weather. Better get in a service and an exhaust 😅

Was good back then. Then the fun police turned up and theyre now fining people apparently. Oh well 🤣.

Is that the latest RS5?

Without giving the game away we got one loading in the pipeline for warmer climes. Up to Davey of course 🙂. Can always shuffle dates around 😉. And this time ill stick with the group. Sheesh... Consistent turn out well done people! At one point it was looking like 5 of us. Lol

What car you got now?

Good day out thanks @HEADPHONESfor the car. I might get you one in return next time. I won a prize for furthest travelled and coming first in the cannonball! Thanks Davey for organising. Lets have an ****** drive out next. Not so far for me 😉. I think i covered 370 miles today not as much as Wales!

its a toss up between that front bumper and the mk2 Nismo front bumper. I like the Stillen more cant lie. If I was looking id consider.

BMW have good points that make it superior quality to Nissan. Gearbox, adaptive suspension, better Infotainment, heads up display. Better performance. Sure the price is adjusted for inflation and profit. Id consider one for sure. The Z has more room though

One or two in my area bought the rival Supra. Have to go see it.

Downloaded the Steve McQueen one. Will see that first.

Technology eh... Theres a disconnect somewhere. No signal to the braking system from the pedal damaged cable, faulty software, software glitch, faulty pedal switch....Could be anything really. Some Tesla fans are saying theres still manual braking. I highly doubt it in a drive by wire car thats stationery and the steering wheel can be turned 90 degrees to play a driving game in the center console. Maybe there is but not much use with 400 ft lbs of Torque and 2500kg projectile. Without hydraulic or electric assistance its tricky. The brake lights probably work on condition that the system is functional from pedal to switch to wheels via any other checking/handshake/assist systems.....

If the brakes were malfunctioned and he stepped on the brakes would the ECU pick it up...if theres no signal from the pedal? would brake lights work properly... no attempt made to brake sure sure 😂... why did the car accelerate consistently increasing speed after hes put it in park. Wheres the data collected for Acceleration pedal and Putting the car in park coming to a stop? is the handbrake still engaged or disengaged... Brake lights, cctv or lack of is not enough to conclude this investigation tbh. ECU in a 2000 car can tell us what happened. More will be revealed soon im sure. Someones hiding something. Mr Zhan could be lying and wanted to end it or Tesla could be covering up data to save face.

Software malfunction. Investigate and initiate lawsuit against Tesla. I doubt the driver could do much.

Yep glad they worked well. Thats what should have come from factory....Nissan Nissan....
