Theyre like £500 now on Ebay... I better get the new one fast lol

Anyone done this. I know it comes from a place where 15 holes were drilled in the boot. Is it possible to use current holes from GT and maybe some adhesive then get rid of the protruding clips that are on the ducktail. In US im seeing people just get a Nismo hatch or drill the boot and is a pain to line up. So ppl tend to avoid these and get a like for like ducktail instead... I can see where the two screws go the screws and some 3M tape adhesive should do.l right? They seem similar to where the GT spoiler screws would be

Its the same car since 2009 with subtle mechanical fixes along the way, bodykits, seats and buttons...The 370 is a reliable car ive had 4 Zeds...Face lift GT was around 2015 with the nice grey wheels. Same with Mk2 Nismo. MPGs are not much better on german performance cars as when you watch all the youtubers they seem to be getting low 20s despite being in the sticks. Considering its a 3.7 NA its actually quite economical and should really be drinking more. But many members have reported 25- 36 mpgs on a cycle. The highest i saw 38 mpg. Im not sure any other NA with a high 3.5 and above displacement could return that. Ive had £25 last me 6 hours of fast driving in the lanes with stops obviously. 23 - 24 MPG with Enthusiastic driving is not bad. If its only 9 miles start stop driving miles it will probably drop

4.1 seconds for the auto!

Only what Sir Muggins is willing to pay for it. The R34 is £189,000 on Autotrader. Been on sale almost 9 months. I can admire it in Gran Turismo! If the clientele are millionaires. It makes sense to try your luck and convince them its special enough to part with 1.6 mill. Sell sell sell..

That cheaper 17 road tax comes with other issues on the car you may need to spend that on anyway such as the clutch or leaking door seal (wet seatbelt) lol I had the Nismo at the time I was working 3- 4 miles away 5 days a week and going to gym 3 miles away. Still spending a good £40+ per week at the time. Oh I did use to go home at lunch times so thats like 20 of those trips per week. I couldn't resist especially in the summer with the sun out. 440i like their lower liter counterparts are common as hell but good cars. Ive driven the 420D my mate paid over £30k for new through work....Not bad felt like an oversized boat tbh but comfortable and fast. Nice cruiser as drove from Oxford to Portsmouth with ease. Whereas the Z could give you a neckache if you sit wrong

The MPGs in the real world not much different. Also road tax is a funny reason not to buy a performance car. Yet youd spend more on petrol within 4 months on useless trips lol My old Director had the 440i at the time i had my original Nismo. Lets just say even the CEO had to look. 👀

Basically 30MPG is possible if only driving motorway and keeping at 70mph. Depends on driving style. £630 road tax. Ill be driving it till it hits £1000

What about Datsuns, Infiniti G,s and Q series lol...you know long lost cousins etc..

Its all relative....I think mixed driving 22-24 mpg...I have the automatic which is 7 speed and sits at 2.3k at 70mph. I was getting up to 38mpg at 60mph in restricted motorway. The 370 is lighter than the BMW with a lot less tech and features. Less to go wrong. Regarding tax thats when the tax rules changed. April 2017 was also based on cost of car being less than £40,000 new which many dealers sold discounted from 2018- 2020. I got my 6 month old Nismo in 2017 14k of New List price. That was then now the 2020s with low miles are around £30-£35,000

What about standard GT wheels 19"? Or you looking for something with thinner spokes ot lighter

They had no choice. According to the insider expose posted over a year ago they were not willing to build a new platform for a tiny segment on the dawn of electrification. It was a low cost investment at a time when Nissan were in huge debt. One of the main reasons for going ahead was they wanted a halo car to bring attention back to Nissan. The compromise was to build a rebodied 370Z....Take it or leave it. Also the fact Nissan refused to change the grill from concept or tune the engine or gearbox means they decided a lower cost strategy. So people will have issues i cant see Nissan addressing anything that isnt urgent. As far as theyre concerned theyve done their bit.

Was reading the chat on savagegeese documentary, biggest complaint is the pricing. Obviously was laughing my head off at the comments. If Toyota price their manual Supra at 48-50k USD then that will be a problem

Mate 😂... Nissan could have made it lighter than the current car. Im seeing average 190 lbs heavier combined with real tires a lighter car would do better. Its a tough ask against a V8 and Zupra with a faster gearbox. So that being said £35,000 is the most this cars worth considering its not a new car underneath lol Lastly if you benchmarked against "Captain Supra" why are they still taking an L. Tires okay can run it back. The cars still heavier with a slower auto. Tough ask. If Nissan had retuned this engine for more torque and extra ponies it may be a different result. This engine is down on torque compared to the supra and mustang. Looks like an easy drop in with no refinements to engine or gearbox?! So actual improvements lay mainly in the manual with flat foot shifts and better ratios...

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?!

im getting a Supra 😂...tires wont make a difference...Z has long gears and is heavier

Hmm...I didnt go that far just bought Z badges for rear quarter. 👀

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 😂

Hope this is still relevant 👀

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.

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.

should be there during bank holiday hopefully

ill be at Ace Cafe in June. Let me know if youll be there before then.

Thanks theres 2 styles. 350Z style with 3 dots and 370Z style with protruding line.
