  1. Couple Saturdays ago. Was behind in White 370Z both doing 25mph on clear residentials because great power and all that, noticed me and put hazards on. Then waved as headed off towards Ruislip M40.
  2. Unpopular opinion after seeing the exhaust threads of people mentioning noise and not wanting to cause offence. I actually support manufacturers like BMW, Toyota and VW using sound actuators. It might sound like a vacuum cleaner on High setting but you wont be disturbing the neighborhood or embarrassing yourself at Full Throttle. Plus when it all goes EV, youll be able to pick between fake V8 or V10 sound modules in your Tesla. Plus your Tesla actually moves quicker than a sports car. No issues from Neighbours and you get to enjoy your car in peace! 😂
  3. 3:25 Skilled young buck driver. "I broke hard". Nardo (Boulder) Grey new Z at the end very nice!
  4. Ants exhaust is loud....louder and raspier than AAM tails.....Youre better off getting a custom and saving the money if you dont want loud. My mate got an oem plus custom single exit exhaust. Its a bit like S Line type exhaust. "Sporty" no drone in cabin barely tunnel worthy not befitting a car like Nismo. The neighbours still wont thank you for the deep vibration on the floorboards. You may still be able to hear the sound actuator with a Gemini type exhaust.
  5. True....Porsche, Alpine Lotus, Nissan and co and coming with Boxster and Cayman EVs. Eventually the 911 will be Petrol Hybrid then Electric. If people want to keep ICE only way forward is Ethanol and other synthetic fuels that burn cleaner than Petrol/Diesel. Working from home or hybrid where the commute is by public transport can get away with it.
  6. I dont mind going to Bluewater around summer. Just need to be wary as the staff and police hate car meets. Youre not allowed to hang in the parking lots either.
  7. Modified mine with an exhaust. Nissan werent fussed as it was only the exhaust. Obviously anything exhaust related wasnt covered by warranty. Both times they were sold to trade. So was ok. If i was handing it back then yeah that could be an issue.
  8. Yeah you can need to apply since the euro version meets the requirements. ULEZ is being expanded to M25. Eventually Euro4 and 5 will be on that list maybe 10 years from now.... For now they're exempt. Genghis Khan strikes again. Classic cars pre 1982 are exempt.
  9. Short term big maybe...Long term No....Used cars will go up due to continued delays in manufacturing of new cars. I dont even think Toyota the number 1 manufacturer are hitting their usual 10.5 million cars per annum atm...its reduced by 1 million. Increased demand for used cars equals higher costs. That trend will continue up to and beyond 2030. So you're probably in the wrong camp. Prices will be at their peak in the next 5-10 years. To the point of unattainable. There are collectors, sunday drivers and people out there that would still want them. It only takes Car Wow or someone to review it again for the sheep to start buying. Driving prices back up. Just because Genghis Khan is going to expand ULEZ, increase VED, add noise cameras and toll roads rendering driving expensive along with other city mayors doesn't mean these cars wont be sort after. Keep that in mind. Only takes a day for a few to come off sale. EV are going to be hit by road tax VED or road tolls. Eventually congestion charge post 2025.
  10. These clowns didnt pick up the lock from customs so was returned to me. I got a Nissan Steering lock for sale if anyone ends up with this issue. Pulled from a Nissan 370 GT not Chinese. At least it will give you a second chance to pull the fuse. Just PM.
  11. I got a Z already. I havent seen the bumper before thas why i asked about it.
  12. Im guessing u want the Gemini sound with a tiny bit more decibels at higher RPM 4-7500. No drone or as little drone as possible on slight acceleration 2-3k. Cruising you barely want to hear it just a tinge especially between 50-80mph 😉. No crazy vibrations or noise from the trunk area. You might need a more hollowed backbox and/or a couple of resonators along the way. Could consider an X pipe to replace the H which is deeper. Basically an X pipe with a different backbox or your backbox modified maybe?! Get rid of some of the meshes inside. OEM plus
  13. PS5 are around £834 all round on 370. Roughly.
  14. So whats a supercar in 2022/2023?!
  15. Whats in 1 for words fail? Id be interested in 3. Happy to forward it on at the next meet if im done 😅
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. my mate lives in Quedgeley... If we do a rally near there maybe you could join us at the final few stops?
  19. 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.
