  1. I used to do that hour on Friday night. A bit crazy but back then turnout was 8 Z on average. With one or two former owners. Unfortunately my mate sold his Z got an M3 and stopped going. It is a bit far not gona lie. Its nice to go once or twice in middle of summer though. Other car clubs turn up in larger numbers but you got security to deal with too.
  2. Unfortunately Curb weight has gone to 1581kg for the Manual and 1610kg for the auto. That carbon fibre manufacturing theyve been bragging about wasnt implemented then 🙃.
  3. Order Brochure Leaked MY23 Z initial VPOG-NissanZClub.pdf
  4. Skip to 6:30 minutes. Wish the guy would pipe down.14:30 sound actuator...sounds ok but very muffled
  5. Imagine this setup at home difference being no crossover noise from other machines, better speakers and PC graphics. I do miss the old days of going to the Arcade with £20 coins 😅.

  7. Regarding the new Z id keep an eye out as what happened with the Supra certain dealers imported them in before UK release. So you never know youll pay a bit more to cover their clearance costs obviously. Approaching 2010 GTR prices. Saw your car at Ace Cafe years ago. Very nicely done. Someones getting a neat car. Standard GT50th ive also seen in person. You get some Nismo bits but a tad overpriced for what they are. Either way whether it's GTR 370 or new Z good luck with the new purchase!
  8. Cant blame you, at some point a lot of others will follow suit. Some already have.
  9. @Lewis Schwier youre right about Short Tails. They do have a slight drone and rasp at certain revs. Also having an automatic it will probably be quieter for me at motorway speeds. My 370 mate got a custom Y setup single exit ISR and its resonated. It sounds really good. Quiet on cruise but can still hear the rumble inside. No drone, no rattle smooth sound. He got that from Kostas. Only thing for me personally while it sounds good when sending it its not loud enough for me personally. Looks neat though. @Olly350z if youre selling let me know 👀
  10. As far as I know youre unlikely to see them here in the first 12-24 months as the retail price in Japan is around £10,000 higher than US. Then and 30% fees as mentioned earlier. Nissan USA claim of $40,000 is not guaranteed as markups are common over there. However the Japanese are more critical of the car than the Americans which will affect sales and depreciation. I think after 2-3 years the prices will be much like the Supra here used in the mid 30s. Since Supra is getting a manual late 2022 that will increase competition for Nissan. We do get sun in England contrary to popular belief. You wouldn't believe we get a lot of sunshine for the amount of days it rains. I would say fully sunny days are less than a partial sunny day. I rather get a Supra next than deal with the trouble of tacking on £10,000+ to the price for shipping and customs. Its not worth it for what youre getting.
  11. £25000 its still a good price! last year when I searched on goo-net-exchange....im assuming theyve been sold since..."fairlady version nismo type 380rs". Fantastic cars will go up for sure. There were only 2 at the time. They go quick.
  12. Anyone owned or knows anyone that has driven the A90 Supra. Im looking at it as a future car. I think prices will be around £35k within the next year. Which is in line with depreciation. There are many cars like M2 comp and TTRS but im eager to get some insight before venturing on the Supra forums. There is one in my area but driven in an immature manner. Like he got a license yesterday 🤣. Anyway opinions welcome. Also the manual version will arrive soon so thats going to be interesting obviously going to be a solid £54,000 initially.
  13. The heart wants what the heart wants. The prices have increased inline with used car market. That being said appreciation is anyones guess. Id hazard a guess at stronger values due to no new model atm. There will be good deals here and there. Good luck with the search. 3k miles youd probably not spend half of the 7k per year. Reliability dependant.
  14. Deep pockets are the name of the game. Its an experience then you move on to German
  15. Aston Martin and co will continue to make noisy gas guzzlers for export only to Africa, Asia and Middle East where its not a big deal
  16. Nissan GT-R axed from UK sales because it's too loud for EU rules https://mol.im/a/10623139 via https://dailym.ai/android funny comments
  17. Wasnt a huge seller anyway. They manage double digits monthly. No replacement in Europe. Theyre moving forward with Electric vehicles. Best case scenario is a hybrid petrol which needs to meet Euro 7 as well as noise limits. Noise limits were already in place in Japan I can see them trying to replace all current models with EV equivalents starting with the SUVs. EV Coupes including 2 seaters will probably arrive much later.
  18. I saw a registered Nismo on Autotrader for around 16k. Mark 1 2013 with decent miles black actually no longer on Autotrader. So must have sold Id put it on there with the mileage it will sell eventually. Im assuming its a CAT D with no structural damage? Id start at £16999 and give it time. It could be a while but summers coming. If youre patient it could take up to August to sell. These cars are hard to sell. I couldn't sell my last Nismo for a few months. Its a buyers market. Theres not many of them. Id get it on Autotrader and Ebay
  19. I remember the attempted shaming by peers on spending £45 on a game instead of "garms" aka Garments to look cool. Xbox X is the more powerful console apparently
  20. PS5 ill sign up and wait a few months for an invite from PC World. Ill probably get a PS5 later this year. Last GT was GT5
