  1. You definitely dont live in London ...id say 20% do that
  2. Id give the black plastic bit a gloss finish or wrap for sure...and add a front gloss black lip. Looks good for sure
  3. One for the bucket list next summer perhaps
  4. My first Nismo after it drifted into Halfords. Do regret selling as it was near new and all original. Its had 2 owners since but one thing stood out. Thats the price it was at 3,000 miles and 6 months old! https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202106183947940?aggregatedTrim=Nismo&make=NISSAN&include-delivery-option=on&model=370 Z&radius=1500&advertising-location=at_cars&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&postcode=ha28qr&sort=relevance&page=1
  5. All the EV fanboys that were never petrolheads are peeing their pants while celebrating...
  6. 1000hp seems a bit excessive for the streets. I wonder if you could take a sharp corner without understeering straight into the wall.
  7. Model S Plaid just did 9.47 seconds. Fastest production car apparently. Anywho... https://uk-motor1-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/uk.motor1.com/news/513703/jay-leno-quarter-mile-record/amp/?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a6&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=16236886107742&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fuk.motor1.com%2Fnews%2F513703%2Fjay-leno-quarter-mile-record%2F
  8. havent been in a year. A bit far for me tbh.
  9. Remember only certain manufacturers can get away with "spyders", "four door coupes" and shooting brakes. These were renders in the past based on what Nissan USA insiders were shown. Not far off. I guess sales will dictate if a Nismo exists. Tamura already said it depends on what the market demands. I predict the sales will be good if priced well. The 370Z was still selling in USA till end of production. Also looking at search analytics on a video age groups 25-34 and 45 -55....4 markets that will 100% buy the Z as is..
  10. Dont cut corners here. Thats your life dependent on those parts...
  11. Magazine from Japan. Only really interested in the Z render. Wheels looks good but as long as its not simply gloss black. Wouldn't be a Nismo without a bodykit. Red Katana sword maybe seen as tacky though. There should be an option for body coloured roof on the standard car. The red at the back needs to be left out. Not really needed
  12. Wow. They should do something with the exhaust. Everything else looks good to me. Hope they implement the cross bar on the grill from the test cars
  13. I googled the guy that put it out there, "Dan Passe". Seems legit. North America Comms. Possibly more than one car in different colours at the reveal. Some people are traveling to New York from other states for the event. They are considering letting Z customers drive it at a track like a closed Nismo academy event later in the year. Good idea
  14. The Nissan PR guy said it will be the production model according to the new Z forum
  15. Was expecting LA Motorshow in November but maybe they reveal the specs in August. Nissan might have been lazy and not done anything with the engine. Either way lets see if they make any changes to the production car.
  16. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/nissan-fairlady-400z-hatchback-rendering-looks-like-a-more-practical-z-car-163013.html Very EU...2 + 2 huh...
  17. Anyone else a fan of 80s and 80s funk or is it just me
  18. Lol.....With the Q60 you do need some hardware mods to get it to 600 bhp and run 11 seconds 1/4 mile etc. Probably bigger turbos to go past 600bhp tbh. Its not going to be as long as upgrading a 370. Hydraulic is not confirmed but i cant see them changing the steering to Electric. Taking off in Japan is hard to tell but North America should be good to go once the verdict is out.
  19. Black wheels are somewhat overdone as @hmale4yu has previously stated I kinda agree. Sales numbers will tell whether its any good. I predict similar numbers to the Supra. If rumoured prices are close enough undercutting the competition, could actually be more sales due to manual option. Oh apologies for the youtube plug. Someone posted it on the rival forum thought might as well In terms of whats on offer Lower weight some carbon fiber Twin Turbo Digital dash Updated Interior Near supercar level tuning options New shape although not everyone's taste More colour options For a fractional increase in price from current 370 new..id say due to lower investment for production......good thing its not a new car because that would be £45-£55,000 new...still could be tbh Depends different strokes whats deemed fun. It is a Gran Turismo type not an all out sports car. Although the Nismo is not bad around a track....its not as nimble as an MX5. Saving grace is the hydraulic steering system and analogue feel.
  20. Lol needs adjustment in terms of timing. Its almost like theres a lightweight flywheel involved. I tried adding some turbo sounds but seems a bit much for stock car so left it out.
  21. Ill be honest im not a fan of yellow....but if someone offered it to me. Id take it....No hesitation.. the 9G Auto version will be nuts. Hope the Torque figures are close to the M2 that would be good.
  22. Damn not bad....328 hp with supercharger would be nice
  23. most likely be another 370Z and GT in the interim. Ill try get to the midlands meet once i get another Z for sure. As much as I like the Nismo theyre not cheap... obviously if my numbers come through the new Z but like others its going to be a nice waiting game to see what the prices will be in Japan
