  1. Get a DE 2003-2005...like i did Less road tax and plenty low down torque. Cheaper on Insurance too. Only issue i had was starter motor and arch rust. Or you can go for the 370Z 2012 on wards. No issues with reliability as such over 2 years. Just "hot hatch". Turbos are deceiving....It feels nimble. Its all the computing and Turbo boosting being done.
  2. I added a few can dream cars on there. Can't believe the 4 banger Emira will cost around the same as the V6. Lol... Nissan Z - £866 Porsche Cayman 981 S - £900 Cayman S 718 - £950 GTR - £1000 Alpine A110 - £1117 Cayman GTS - £1400 Lotus Emira - £1500 GTR Facelift - £2200 F Type V8 - £2300
  3. I live in a high risk area where cars and catalysts get stolen like Hyundais, Ranges, Priuses and Golfs. Fortunately no one's looking at the JDMs unless they're R3* or Supras 💀 Accidents are common too. Traveller gangs. They catch them send them to the hotel for 6 years then the gang leader replaces them with new members...all the way from north London to Hampshire it's the same gang...also near A40/M40........BBC documentary said it's an endless cycle.
  4. Some Paint shops now have a machine that can mix paint electronically to match. They have their ways.. Maybe you can buy direct from Japan? On eBay etc.
  5. Lol £2300 for insurance on F type. When I paid £900 on the Z. It's falling under JLR Range Rover. One of the most stolen in London. Z is still around same price so are Caymans except GTS and above lol. Old GTRs are also coming up the similar to Cayman S and cheaper the 718 GTS. Nissan Z - £866 Porsche Cayman 981 S - £900 Cayman S 718 - £950 GTR - £1000 Cayman GTS - £1400 F Type V8 - £2300 15 years license 14 years no claims no points...38 yo based on London. It is what it is. GTR usually fit in group 50 insurance but 50 has a lot of sub categories. Only thing I can think of is JLR thefts and value combined..
  6. Ive got one where are you located. I bought it from Lithuania. I haven't tested it and not used it as found out it was just a battery issue. It's taken from another car but should allow the car to start to remove the fuse if you wish.
  7. Yeah I'd have got the base and modded that then maybe get the Nismo when it was 3 years old. Auto is fine as the gig economy riders, average speed cameras make driving a manual in built up areas tedious. We also have lots of uber drivers in priuses and 20mph zones. I remember the frustration with nismo just to get out of the area to decent roads you'd have been leveling the clutch for 30 mins in traffic... Maybe one day I'll get another. Done with Nissan for now.

  10. Careful, Youll be accused of blowing your own "trumpet" in due course. #
  11. leaning towards the F-Type V8 AWD tbh. Because with Porsche once you start its addictive i think. Can get one after im done with brutish, loutish noise and excess consumption and speed.
  12. Someone https://www.350z-uk.com/topic/125470-hi-new-to-the-z-scene/?do=findComment&comment=1824898
  13. Okay I will assume i said it first for now. But im sure someone else said it first lol..maybe im losing marbles...remember this site had some changes made. So not sure if it affected search facilities lol.
  14. All good because 599 and insane 599XX are one of my favourite Ferraris aside from Testarossa and Enzo.
  15. Every car enthusiasts dream.
  16. Speaking of preferences 😉 @The Bounty Bar KidJessica Lawrence nah once you've seen it, you've seen it all. Now since the 370Z is a poor man's 599. How about an actual 599 converted to gaited manual. "Gimme me numbers". 😎. Apparently they were available to order in manual but people mostly ordered flappy paddles. Only 30 or so were bought and all GTBs apparently. Manual command 5 times the price. Can be converted and sold at profit... Anywho back to my financial lane! https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-spottedykywt/manual-converted-ferrari-599-for-sale/48028
  17. Yeah that's nice, as soon as it landed I'd swap out that steering wheel for the sport one and add some minimal ambient lighting. I think these 991 gen have bottomed out in the 40s for now. Looks like it's missing the exhaust button. On the Caymans it's just pops and bangs and a tiny bit more volume. I couldn't tell the difference aside from that.
  18. 993 turbo or carrera. I just looked and looks like the classic porsche from the 90s. Not many turbos for sale and it was a Gemballa I'd be happy with Carrera NA or newer Carrera with the 3.0 As far as I know unless it's the early 2000s turbo s which are 60k plus the rest are 90 to 120k and new gens were 160k but now the latest are over 200k. Lol Cayman and Z are similar bar the weight. So it might be a sideways step for most on here. Handling wise superior 1300 to 1400kg..911 can offer the power but not the same balance and handling. Suppose can't go wrong. 911 is 911.... Porsche host track days at their leisure. Just need to pay and spend a couple of hours there.
  19. They do have a lot of character. Worth a punt only live once. Hard to get bored of the Z though.
  20. My brother had the 2015 991 911 RWD carrera. All buttons well optioned very shouty. Acceleration is underrated.... Was £78k at the time the car was 2 years old. They're 40 to 65 now. Servicing cost him £1000 a pop. Skoda wrote it off... Nice cars but not on the cheap side. I suppose there's more urgency now to try diff cars with incoming restrictions lol.
  21. Im not sure tbh. I like the F type but I'm thinking keep saving and decide later. Power isn't everything which is true. I dunno if I'll make March lool.
