  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Damn not bad....328 hp with supercharger would be nice
  6. 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
  7. For as long as ive been on here Ive been listening to a new genre of music. I stumbled across it not sure how and theyve grown to over a million subscribers from a few thousand. Im a big fan of 80s music so a modern take on it was always interesting. Looking at the comments in many videos over the years people have said it reminded them of legit 80s bands. I have no affiliation with them but thought Id share it. I have a feeling they are UK based. They also did some car reviews. I think many of the songs over the years have suited cruising along in the Z and added to the atmosphere. Dont get me wrong it can be weeks before a hit pops up but its varied to suit different tastes. From pop to dark synth type. Also 80s type instrumentals and synthwave. One or two bands did leave over the years. Ive sometimes had to scroll 3-5 years back to see if i missed any hits. But heres a link to the channel and playlist with the car reviews. https://m.youtube.com/c/NewRetroWave/playlists https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyIFQr1wryPLuX70Euu-BGbkanF7nina1 https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyIFQr1wryPLCLGdJrcPOHHuOntEBy9my
  8. Thanks mate. Birmingham isnt close either. Thanks to all the people that attended from long distance. Shame many local Zs were not present. A lot of people are not on the forums.
  9. Was encouraging to hear lots of positive discussions about the ZP yesterday at Ace Cafe. A few more pics. The test car seems to have an extra bar on the grill so there might be a gloss black bar across the grill for the production car
  10. Head turner for sure. 1250kg is good.
  11. Typical London. Im local and I avoid lunchtime or sunshine traffic. Got carried away chatting didnt film enough but hey ho. Huawei always out of focus
  12. Welcome to the forums. I didnt have local Z buddies either and ive had 3. Still having good roads, bumping into other Zs "not literally" and getting down to meets makes up for it.
  13. So much for interior complaints about the 350 👀. When I get another Z ill fly down and do a video on the car maybe.
  14. Nice meeting you today sir, great to know youre not too far up in Amersham. Great colour and mods on the car. Was just about to upload a vid but waiting on a pic/vid of your car.
  15. £30-£36,000 I reckon...Looks great. Everyone likes different things I guess. Design is on point. Shame about the lack of power though. Barely quicker than an EP3
  16. Looks alright. The rear needs some work. Good job on the duck tail
  17. For me it was cheaper to get the discs and alloys skimmed by an engineer than spend hundreds on new discs and pads. Solved the problem for me
  18. If you're chasing 1/8th of time times time the 350 isnt for you. If you could care less that Chris jumps the light in the RS3 which in turn gets smoked by Johns M5 post merger then go for it. Prices are going up.
  19. The last pure petrol Z probably 6 year shelf life at best. Then platform change to Hybrid and fully Electric.
  20. New Insider info from US "Retooling is underway now at the Tochigi Plant, USDM production begins January 3rd, 2022.We could start to see these in the showrooms as early as Feb/Mar of '22""The unveiling will be soon, order books open up 11/15/21.Dealers had their meeting in Arizona this past weekend."And it's officially going to be called the Nissan Z in the U.S. and this is the badge that was covered up on the Gray and silver cars (The same cars plus the unseen white one that are testing in camo right now).
  21. Waiting game. For a reasonable price on what is essential a 370 with a Turbo I think 1 to 2 years after release used ones in Japan should be at least 10-12k of list at best. Might get lucky and find a 9 month old one 14k below list, maybe i just got really lucky with the 370. Hope the 35-45k rumours are true. That means there will be quite a few on the used market after 2-3 years. Is anyone overly fussed about special paint, leather cooled seats and brake calipers for 5k-10k premium. The S middle trim should be good enough. Although it wouldn't be classed as full GT UK spec. After driving the Nismo 370 its not such a huge deal
  22. Turbo aka First world problems....Needs extra gauges. people will tune anyway so that gauge will be off the scale. Maybe theyre saying dont go more than 20psi on stock engine No gear numbers on the animation. The Q60 seems to rev to 7000. 7000-7250 RPM is about right
