Its aight....Still rate the 370Z Nismo higher in design terms. More quirky, can be mistaken for a new EV. This looks good but seems much safer and less risk design. I think its worth £30-£35k but the extra 10k to get it here bar the covid excuses is questionable
-
I saw a white one with 25k more miles for 22900. I think they'll come down slightly not by much though
-
No ones going to admit to everything tbh. Theyll only tell you what you need to know. Barely admitting common issues when asked.

Saw that video. Not a huge fan of yellow. Seems like the paint would fade over time in typical Nissan fashion. Still a full 9 months from release. Seems to be a bit of a craze right now interesting to see what the sales will be especially that the Sport has no LSD.

Lol all day on my CRZ save a lot but I stick to Bosch etc and the main brands though.

Ive run my Z on both. More on 99 than 95. I dont drive hard most of the time anyway. My mate has run his M3 E92 on 95 for 6 years. The only time the car has had Super Unleaded is when Ive driven it and replenished Petrol and tell him off for using 95. The main issues are the standard Rod bearing, Throttle Actuator, Gearbox issues. Yes the cars been driven somewhat hard on 95 but he's usual bought Shell or BP which might make a difference from supermarket fuel... Obviously thats a different car and maybe hes just lucky.

Didnt think the time had come for Lotus to go EV lol...

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

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

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

Thoughts on potential purchase
GranTurismoEra replied to sambo's topic in Introductions & Welcome Messages
Lol meanwhile in California, the cars just getting warmed up at 100,000 miles. -
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
