  1. Nice documentary. Only kidding couldn't fit in the Supra 😂 There are many reasons mentioned in the video why the car could not be made 5-7 years ago! A new platform was possible but not affordable. The smaller investment made more sense. I dont think they should bother with a Nismo if its not 50-75 hp bump along with functioning aero and sports seats over the standard car. Just leave it at the standard spec and proto. Nismo needs to be different or whats the point?!
  2. im getting a Supra 😂...tires wont make a difference...Z has long gears and is heavier
  3. Hmm...I didnt go that far just bought Z badges for rear quarter. 👀
  4. Have you checked out my review I owned 2 Nismos both with different issues 370Z Nismo Review Also not mentioned first one had clutch smell under load clutch was slipping at 3000 miles Tramlining was also an issue. Brakes were fading. Uprated hawk pads and motul solved oem brake fade. Make sure you test drive as tramlining affects some not all Nismos. Full system as youve said is not necessary. Tails are good enough but offer minor drone. Make sure theyre resonated. Well done on initial research, as you cant expect us to do your homework like some people have in the past. 🤧 yes they are very slow sellers that due to the niche factor. Everyone wants what their mate has. Makes great Instagram pictures. Bahhh 😂
  5. Hey at least it was in stock 😉. A good exhaust place will get it right. Just extra slicing and welding. It could be barely noticeable with extra welds.
  6. You looking at Invidia or Ark? Im hearing Invidia is quiet with standard cats. £1260 on Ebay. Maybe a lot less drone than short tails Let me know if youre selling short tails as my car is just a weekend car. So noise is ok.
  7. should be there during bank holiday hopefully
  8. ill be at Ace Cafe in June. Let me know if youll be there before then.
  9. Thanks theres 2 styles. 350Z style with 3 dots and 370Z style with protruding line.
  10. Anyone know where i can find this
  11. Yeah there will be nismos available at 20k so ill keep a lookout...happy with the GT auto for now though.
  12. For me the lights are not wide enough. The only real difference is the straightness of the rear Whereas the mustang has a sloping rear not completely straight down. I don't think the design is bold in any way. Its a bit german and safe to be honest. The unibody gives the rear quarter a more prominent appearance. Thats about it. The only reason Americans are saying its better looking than the 370Z is because its new. While the 370Z looks dated. I rather stick to a 370Z Nismo in terms of looks its superior and im very tempted in future to get a nismo for keeps lol. Unfair comparison maybe. I cant see the Nismo being amazingly better looking than the standard car. Not in the same way the 370 nismo v2 is transformed from standard car. Can reference the red car showcased few weeks ago a slight improvement. with front bumper and arch liners.
  13. Yep. Only covers worth using are dust covers inside a dry air-conditioned garage. Ive been talking to my brother about us installing one in the garage and expanding to be able to store another 2 cars lol Not like its being rented out or extended at the moment. Covers in general not ideal in our weather. If you lived in a consistently dry country then sure. Morning sweats are no good for the car. Had that with the Nismo so stopped using it.
  14. 12 mins for exhaust How do you avoid the two tone and get a unibody that offer 370 type flare to the rear quarters. I havent seen the spec list lately. If Unibody is only available with base trims then id rather get that and mod
  15. Cool....auto it is what it is but manual yes please....slight delays to release apparently....wait is over for test drives
  16. Space aside regarding the Supra I agree. They are smaller inside. Anyone over 6 foot will get a new hairstyle due to the low roof.
  17. Countered by noise cameras going up in most residential areas. Your local reps can request a trial lol. Face lift will probably be towards 2030. Then I wonder if the conditions for import will change to only care owned for 6 months abroad or more or some silly rule.
  18. Its the inner lining of the cover. Many covers also sold as breathable.
  19. Hence my Supra thread after seeing a few videos. They dont have to be perfect but if its minimally improved over the JATCO slush in my current 2012 car plus my cars lighter and can be supercharged for 10k. Its not a justified purchase unless its discounted and youre getting the manual Aftermarket is the saviour. Thats why the price point cant be high lol...LSD, Exhaust, Map for better shifts. Already getting towards a couple grand at least. hmm
  20. What's going on at 4:35 and especially 8:20?! He shifts but the delay in shifts causes him to bounce of the limiter?
