  1. Search up Assetto Corsa VR then put in Supra, M4, GTR. The C1 loop map mod is crazy. They even have other maps that get created all the time. A good wheel setup and 4k tv decent pc youll be stuck at home....Its more the realism and mods with Assetto Corsa (PC) Speaking of the game its 7 years old. But numerous mods have been made. I saw a map with the Swiss alps and German countryside. Crazy. Best wheel right now is probably Fanatec but Logitech is also good for full manual setup!
  2. A bit like good vs budget trainers then?! Could split your head open going on a run with Primark trainers
  3. Someone from London will buy it regardless. Then come into work complaining about EGR and DPF issues from school runs. Buyers market.
  4. Looking at another 8 - 12 weeks at least. April is not guaranteed either. It does stay greasy for a good week with no rain. Cold mornings. Take your time dont be like the BMW drivers they love a near miss 😂
  5. I think theres a guy in France who has 1 of them. Former race driver. Hes got the road legal version. Think the second is in Nissan museum in Japan. Might be wrong. Hes on Instagram.
  6. Dont sell now. Wait till April/May to get higher price! Some sit there for months up to 5/6 months
  7. Not sure can check out the local meets section/ National meets. I think aside from the usual Jap Fest etc only know of Ace Cafe in June. I dont go to many meets as I prefer Z or jap only not mixed meets
  8. Short tails pop naturally. But theyre not asbo. 2 to 4 pops if the exhaust is hot above a certain temperature. I didnt find any issue between 60-80 mph with cruise control on. If accelerating youll get some drone. Id definitely get Resonated be interesting to see the difference with 7th gear as the revs sit at 2.1k to 2.5k 60-80mph
  9. Car looks familiar, think it was bought recently could be wrong. A lot of owners in London are not on the forums.
  10. Safe European design. In fact retro- futuristic is what many manufacturers will go for as they all move to EV. That means straighter design and sharp edges like the ioniq 5. I dunno is "Fairlady Z" meant to be a butch muscular lady or a slender runway model? 😂
  11. Are you based in Wembley? Nice Nismo.
  12. No rush to get an EV. One more generation of Mustang before it all changes I reckon. Good buy.
  13. Futures probably Electric/Alternative Fuels then older combustion engines being taxed off the roads in UK Last new car will be something fun, something I know wont need repairs or a million recalls. I suspect imports of new cars will be banned so the used market will get stronger. Id like to try a GR Yaris or 86 at some point as brand new cars possibly or delivery miles. 86 unlikely as its only on sale for 2 years till 2024. Depends on what type of experience someone wants. I like the idea of something lightweight geared towards track or enthusiast use Manufacturers will keep making combustion engines for export to America, Asia and Africa. IE Aston Martin
  14. Yeah you can go directly towards Ealing from Hanger Lane into Kew. There is traffic that way depends sometimes. Easier to leave early everyone has the same idea by 8AM though
  15. Heathrow exit just hell....Shame youre on the inner M25. If you were on the outside id say go through Windsor/Ascot/Slough Better roads and get on the M40 and its plain sailing till you hit the 40 all the way to Hanger Lane. Traffic getting off A40 onto the A406 another car park with lots of idiot drivers. Since youre all in a convoy youll have to sit in it unless you leave at 8-9.
  16. Daily and Track use Nismo! Good driving
  17. Saturday traffic begins at 10AM till 2pm in that area. Earlier is better.
  18. its not going to be 50k forever if you're buying used. After a year and some miles they'll be going for 35-40k possibly 30k depending on the used market in 18 to 24 months and beyond LC500 is another category of car. The Z will run rings around the LC500 couple with the fact its around 300-400kg lighter. Youre not going to track an lc500. Whereas you can track and daily the Zed. There are rumours its lighter than the 370Z. No one knows how good or bad the 9 speed will be. It may be better acceleration wise and on the track than the Supra. Conveniently Manual Supra is rumoured to be coming out but at 50k plus. Once the hype dies down the Z will be more accessible price wise cheaper than the Supra on the used market. People waiting for the Nismo should expect to pay $55k which is what the Supra costs. I cant see a huge power hike. A bodykit, different seats and lowered for another £10k on top. The standard car will sell in the states and Canada as the alternatives are more expensive. Not to mention there are enough enthusiasts willing to buy it. There are people who are buying their first Nissan according to newnissanz and zclub forums. I know its hard to believe lol I dont know enough about the C8, although i heard about reliability issues when one youtuber drove across America.
  19. theyre usually for sale for a while on Autotrader as well as convertible. A couple of grand at least. I call this the US spec.
  20. Ill find out soon enough but i saw a video... People from other countries attend...You must have your reasons. There are pros and cons to both mixed and specific car meets. I dont attend many tbh
  21. Always good to keep the oem exhaust incase. Good to see Z owners in Europe where German cars dominate. Ever got to the biggest Z meet in Europe held in Germany. Its probably been affected by Covid.
