Comparing the stats with the new Z. Different price bracket but similar power. Emira uses Toyota 3.5L engine Supercharged with 309ft lbs/420nm and 395hp-400hp. Acceleration is rated at 4.3. 1405kg (dry) Z uses the Infiniti 3.0L Twin Turbo Engine producing 350ft lbs and 400hp. Acceleration is rated at 15% more (Nissan claim). Putting it at 4.3 for the manual and around 4 seconds for the Automatic. 1475kg (claimed) In real world terms its probably going to be 4.6 for the manual in ideal conditions and 4.0 for the auto Z. The Automatic Emira only comes with the less powerful 4 cylinder from AMG. There will be many factors that give Lotus an edge. Weight being the key. Meaning the Lotus is marginally faster in a straight line but could disappear on the track. Id like to see a comparison between the two. I think the weight and gearing could give the lotus a huge pull at higher speeds and bends. The 9 speed in the Z may actually be effective in that area of higher speed long straights along with the twin turbos. Although the Z carries more weight. That penalizes it in the pickup from low speeds despite more torque its carrying a lot more kg. Lotus being lighter maybe has some black magic. £75,999 is a different price range altogether and superior looks. The 4 cylinder is out next Autumn should be lighter along with the Base in 2023..4 cylinder will be lighter than the V6 Lotus im sure with 360hp its very close to the V6

Dont think about it, just sign the papers. Fortunately Porsche will buy your car off you unlike other brands if you decide you need a change.

B Roll Footage Only 😎 Reviews are in for the car along with the BRZ. Needs an exhaust and sound actuator switched off.

I thought you posted a used GT3 at £225,000 wow.... Is it me or have prices jumped up for anything driven 😂

My brother had the 911 Carrera RWD PDK naturally aspirated 3.8 from 2015. Great car. Around 350HP although acceleration was ambiguous because 400+ HP cars would struggle against it. 20 inch wheels at the front and 21 at the back. Servicing costs were double the 370 sometimes triple. Oh yeah it cost around £80,000 at the time. I think any 911 Turbo will be £120k plus maybe. Even the previous generation. So would a Carrera be the preferred choice. Im no expert in that area so may have the trims and pricing wrong. Great cars, neckbreakers and great noise. There are the older Turbo S. 991

Lol...Its not my car though....You dont need to tell me.....Thanks for feedback!

Lol meanwhile in California, the cars just getting warmed up at 100,000 miles.

Thanks. The single turbo will cost around £3500-£4000 by the way.

The A80 already comes with a Twin Turbo 2jZ. Does that sound right for a car that already has Twin Turbo to swap out for a Single Turbo? 😂. Id be interested to know what labour costs would be if parts are supplied.

Ofcourse, This is England! Usually they need police intervention, i had an incident at Tesco a few years ago. Where some kids left a barrier on the corner and smashed into with the nismo. I stood on top of security and management to go through the CCTV. I was persistent. Unfortunately CCTV was not pointing at the relevant area. An area where Pedestrians walk across and isnt well lit. Even if you get the cctv doubt police will do much tbh. Still hand it to them. Let the assessors assess it and hopefully theyll pay out when they realise the cost of repair.

Do you still get a payout if the car has engine damage etc.... Forensic work requires resources. With a bit of effort the people are probably known to police. Depending on what the issue is probably worth still trying to claim as its now recorded stolen.

Need a release date from Toyota UK

You must be living in a nice area. Never seen that level of policing wow

Chase them regarding payment. You need your car to get around while the wife or kid uses your other car...

This happens a lot on estates... happened to my family back 20 years ago. We had 2 cars lifted by caretakers boys. One day i saw a trailer downstairs. I rushed down 3 flights like Jason Bourne to get the plate number but him and the guy he was speaking to were ghost...

They wouldn't be able to start in the same manner as BMW'S youre right. Opening the doors maybe through cloning the RFID. Im no expert. I had a tracker fitted on the Nismo. Became a bit of an expense. They did call me to tell me the cars been lifted possibly onto a tow truck after I sold it. I had the VHF not the gps. I heard GPS blockers can be used while onboard by the passenger. VHF would allow you to track it through solid walls etc. Old tech Its all after the fact, hope you find it. Only issue is insurance paying the right amount. As the cars value has changed recently. There should have been ANPR alerts nationwide pulling over black Zs and checking vin/chassis number, mileage and proof of ownership at roadside on the same day. Typical Britain. Sounds expensive but its more expensive paying high taxes for an understaffed police force. A high possibility its still local as they wouldn't want to alert ANPR by going across counties

If your keys were exposed and not in tin foil or a faraday bag it could have been scanned from outside to unlock the car. Then pushed away to be picked up around the corner. I used to use disklok on my 370 and a protective pouch for keys

Lol only a VR30 Engine swap on an older auto 370 makes sense. Dont need the extra tech

So got 8 years to import then.

423 in UK alone for a £54,000 Japanese niche car is actually good if it was annual but this is year 3 my mistake**. In comparison I wasn't expecting anything more than 200-300 per year for the Z unless it costs the same as the 350Z at £36,000 then maybe they can shift 500-600 over the same period of 2-3 years. Thats a huge chunk of Europe since their car taxation is absurd. Wouldnt expect any EU country to be buying significantly more than UK There must be a reason when looking at UK sales vs the EU. UK buys a significant chunk of Sports Cars. It might be down to larger working class and middle class....and vast array of financing options for people with anything above average credit. 423 out of say 2000 is over a fifth. Compared with the numerous amounts of countries in EU. UK is one of if not the biggest buyer. Maybe Germany account for similar sales followed by Italy or Switzerland etc. Maybe Nissan set a target to be greater than year 1 370Z sales (1000) and thought its not possible. But they also have to remember the shift in the market worldwide and be realistic. In comparison they are probably expecting 400-500 Z per month in US alone for year 1. Canada, Japan and Australia are just supplements. Shifting greater than 1000 cars EU year 1 would require serious promotion, discounts etc..in all EU countries...dont see it https://carsalesbase.com/europe-toyota-supra/

Im not sure Nissan would do that. Its all or nothing. I mean theyll need to advertise the car during champions league games etc, billboards to promote the car. Otherwise it may end up struggling like the 370Z. US alone buys 3-5 times as many Z as Europe. I did speak to someone at Nissan London West who claimed the dealership imported a few R34 in the past independently. Not sure if that was true. Might go down and speak to them about that possibility. Much like the Alpine A110 it will be low numbers trying to appeal to a few people in central London and a couple of Youtubers. Who as you know Nissan will rely on for free promotion. Why spend millions advertising a low segment. Better off doing that for the Ariya and Qashqai as well upcoming Nissan Sunderland EV Concept. You can bring a press car and drive it around all the main HPC in UK and Europe. I still think 1000-2000 cars year 1 EU is a stretch. Z4, 2 Series and SLK probably appeal more. That's why its gone more subtle and GT with tech to try to appeal to more people. A few ppl will be buying their first Nissan according to other Z forums Imagine Nissan did all the marketing and promo and released it in say 2017 - 2019 before Z4 and new SLK coming it would have been better. Seems a bit late in the process. Ghosn didnt want a new Z so thats just hypothetical

The Head of Marketing never mentioned that there would be an option like that lol. I wonder what the two trims monthly cost difference will be with a sizeable deposit. Im assuming a £5000 difference between sport and performance. Limited edition being slightly above performance. Then Nismo matching Supra price

A bit painful having to dip in the savings again to buy an LSD after spending on the car. From what ive seen there are many options better than OEM. That can be customized to suit your style.
