  1. Rear Lights are so tiny 😂....shame they never made them more prominent.
  2. Top render looks interesting. Id drive that with the bar at the front as long as its wide like the 370 😂
  3. Outside of attending a jap meet or Z meet highly unlikely. High amount of Z owners never attend meets too. Amazing HP deals in US for the yoof as well. Some kids first car. Look forward to the youtube videos ill be subscribing to see what they do with them. I want to hear what it sounds like with a good system. Also the street races should be fun. Just like the Supra ones. 1, 2, 3...... I can see lots of youtubers jumping on the bandwagon and selling up after 6 months.
  4. Death is imminent mate, especially that its not coming here.
  5. Then therell be something else to complain about if it did lol Theres still a buzz for it in US. Not sure about anywhere else. I had a page running on Instagram previously and a youtube and people are eagerly anticipating its release and seeing on the roads. I think the Japanese are receiving it well although theres a bit more criticism for the design etc. The aftermarket will be buzzing to get started on kits. At end of the day it doesn't matter if its plain or overkill people will still make modifications.
  6. Nice pro shots there. It is a slow seller. I had my second mark 2 listed for 4 months in 2020 at £20,000. Then people started calling me in October and told them I was keeping it for another year. Then by April I couldn't keep it any longer and sold it to we buy any car for 17k they kept asking me about the private plate. which came with the car. Saw it on Autotrader for £24k got snapped up. Id be tempted if I had 20 racks under the mattress. You could get an E92 for 5k less maybe or an SL coupe etc. But how often will you be asking for tea at the garage...
  7. Yeah before getting a mortgage I was busy building up no claims as insurance was very expensive. Cant blame you. Depends as its horses for courses. There was a guy on this forum who went from a M4 to 911 to a Supercharged Nismo with 500hp. Just different cars. He did love the Nismo The 4 series is like driving a boat though. Maybe the M4 is lighter Ya looking back now I would have been changing cars too. I definitely didnt regret getting both Z though. Got tired of driving 4 bangers
  8. Love it! aftermarket LSD doing its magic
  9. 4th car this year. Could be mistaken for a youtuber. M4 believe me more necks get broken with the Nismo. Theres not many trims and not many around so ppl know its a bit special.
  10. Alderley Edge...Very nice...Theres also snake road Sheffield to Manchester. Need another Z for sure!
  11. These figures look familiar, 22 and 25mpg combined 👀
  12. It came in handy showering outside directly from the overhead tap after Quad Biking in miles of muddy forests. Very refreshing and all my clothes dried in time for the pick up. Okay okay its not the same when you cold shower in 40 degrees and the water is just shy of 20 degrees. Was better than sitting in mud for 2 hours until out bus arrived to take us back to the hotel. Can see the benefits but the short term suffering and borderline hypothermia is probably a no go for many. Here in UK the water will be sub 10 during winter which is the target temp for this im guessing.
  13. Lol thats all been shut down by Euro 7. Mr Renault said they're not investing in Petrol or Diesel engines going forward. Its going to be electric for anything thats hybrid now. Micra is getting scrapped and Juke etc will be moved on to Electrification. Besides the car is apparently not out until June 2022. I reckon it will cost over 5 million Yen for the Performance. Expensive but look at the cost of the current Nismo over there. The Sport will probably cost 4 million plus Yen and Performance 5 million+. 86/ BRZ is around £22,000 (3.7 million yen)...Im assuming Sport Z will be in line with US at £28,000 and Performance £33,000 (5 million plus yen). Just a guess.. @dean_asla What are the dealers saying about pre orders and release. Is it actually June 2022?
  14. Dont accept less than £7500 for a UK car lol. Depending on Mileage. To get an equivalent car thats the going price for UK car sub 100k miles unless you trek to the highlands. When I had my accident in 2016 the insurance wanted to pay me £4250 total loss...I told em where to go that id repair it myself. Which I did for a couple hundred. I knew I couldn't get another good Z for that. Hopefully they apply common sense and pay the right amount. Afterall we,ve all paid into the insurance pot for "incase". Now its happened pay out those dividends!
  15. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/analysis-lotus-e-sports-ev-platform-made-sharing
  16. I remember my mate who mastered initial D told me at 16, dont cross your arms unnecessarily. Push and Pull. Felt like Karate Kid 😂 He was really good with manual. Akina downhill and uphill twisties. Whole arcade would spectate.
  17. Video from Japan of a GTR Nismo driven like daisy until the Z and Audi RS appears at 1:25. Then a mad man flies by after 6:44. Things get interesting at 7:10. Guys all over the gaff towards the end. Crazy s**t....I just stumbled across it after searching using Japanese text. This is a normal Saturday here in London 😂
  18. Looking at it now its a mean front. Its not bad just a bit wild with crazy road presence youd expect 700-1000hp beast with that grill 😂 Look like its trying to inhale the world for something crazy powerful under the bonnet
  19. To me it just sounds like a bad case of Eastenders. If I phone the insurance for the 20th time. All I need to know is "when is the money going to arrive in my bank account?". Subplots, Storylines, main characters and extras are not my concern. If I get another Z. Its dislok steering lock, ring door bell and a loud siren outside.
  20. "That schedule will also be uncomfortably close to the proposed EU7 introduction date - and Cartier confirmed that Nissan has no plans to invest in its engines and vehicles to make them compliant with the new rules. “Strategically we are betting on electrification,” he said, “to the point where we are not investing in Euro 7.” From an article regarding axing the Micra and the current gen Leaf.
