Lazy slushbox. Almost as bad as mine lol. Manual is the way to go Hopefully somebody can provide a software update for the gearbox. Gearing is a bit long too. For a 9 speed shorter ratios and longer 7,8,9th gear.... Obviously the Supras ZF8 is superior im sure it would raise the price of the car even further to develop something similar or put a DCT. Jatco can update it via software if they get enough complaints lol Mind you cars heavier than 370Z by 80kg apparently so handling may be more laboured. There was some understeer .

Nice car mate. Reading isnt that far! Ive wanted one since 2009. Fibally got a 350Z in 2015 then a 370 nismo in 2017. On my 4th Z now.

Condensation?

Good to see someone interested in taking this up. Good used examples would be better value with a few miles. Despite leaving the showroom their values will still be high due to demand and current situation with new cars. In the low to high 30s. Its customs that would send it over 40k even for a base near new. Although id need a fat loan to procure one as my current car is only 25% of the value door to door even used. Need to start saving up lol Hopefully Litchfield, Abbey and a few others can offer some aftermarket maintenance on them. If Q60 is anything to go by.

Didnt they say US was only getting 3 trims. Sport, Performance and Proto. Sport being similar to base in Japan. No word on if thats being used to test a road going Nismo version. I cant see it being more than a 20-30 hp hike with aero kit. Something you could do with the base car. Another 150 hp+.

Import for yourself or Import to sell?

Apparently Nissan London West imported a few Skylines in the past according to one Service Manager. Not sure how true that is They closed down and its just renault there now. So not far fetched. Just dont expect Nissan to touch them officially.

Due to US market markups it will be more expensive in US. Is that the spec youre interested in? I think after a year with a few miles at best only a few grand off. Due to the situation with chips....

Synchro rev on the Nismo made upshifts and downshifts much smoother. Had it on at all times. no LSD Nissans stock LSD isnt all that anyway...Much better options on the market... 😂

Z Base price coming in from Japan is 5.2 Million Yen or $40,000. Around £32,000.

Anyone considering selling for around £350 let me know. The seller will have first refusal should I choose to sell further down the line

Its the editor. Filmed in Landscape. Only captured our side.

In UK its locked at £30k for manual and £32k for the slower automatic

Nice meeting you all. I only went west of where we were. Where the jdms were parked. Never went past dukes. Spent too much time chatting. Didnt get to chat to GT5 EXY. Lots of necks broken with the Nardo Grey widebody. Some other Z scattered around. Only saw the ones our side. See you guys at Ace Cafe.

Apparently no new allocation till later this year. There should be cancellations here and there.

Yep. Maybe youll be able to compare the Stang and the Z if you can get a test drive. Different planets but would be interested to hear how both are to drive.

I got the email, i guess you would have needed a bot in place like a scalper. Did you get on the waitlist straight after? I cant see used version being cheaper in the first 18 months as stated above. Id find a dealer and chat to them if youre keen. At least get a test drive in and maybe youll get priority or cancelled order.

Yeah but also remember whilst there is a wait list there are more cars coming. The Yaris is understandably more limited. The 86 is worldwide release. Same thing will happen with the Z in US. I suppose 10k is not a biggie for people who want it yesterday.

Would Stillen G3 intakes have given more power?

In London people dont really look at each other like that. Especially if its the yoof. As they could be carrying blades or guns. Also watching where you step can be the difference between life and death. New "trainers" and all that

Im not sure anyone will pay that lool...40k is Golf R territory.
