  1. Yeah they're getting the info from New Nissan Z forum lol. Either way I dont think the Nismo will be worth it unless there is a good power hike and clear differences. Id be happy with the GT or Sport versions Nismo version looks like it will be $55,000. Regarding import I dont think the vendors will wait since they haven't announced a Nismo or Roadster version. One vendor is willing get moving straight away. Tbh Id prefer a GT now. Nismo loses a few comforts that id like next time round. £48k Nismo new nahhh... £35k GT used approved excluding import duty is actually good for 12 months on etc
  2. "this car really is a 370Z with a Body Kit and a VR30 Swap and the chassis was massaged.......heavily (more aluminum, more bracing, carbon fiber)" hence 1475kg rumours Base: 0 options. Type S: Brembos, thicker sways, coolers, other stuff. Type T: Leather, Power Seats, Heated and Cooled, Auto cruise, blind spot, etc Type ST: Both S and T Packages Each package will be roughly 5k each, ST will set you back 10k Base gets Akebonos, Sport or Nismo get the BrembosAll cars get... The 400hp Flavor of VR30DDTT The Digital Dash Android Auto / Car Play Rear Duckbill Not confirmed but will keep an eye out from Nissan USA or US Press Release.
  3. New Rumours to be taken with a side of salt! Source claimed insider at New Nissan Z Forum The grey car is an entry-level model, while the two-tone silver example is a Type T-equipped variant, both featuring automatic 9 speed gearboxes similar to ones used on other new Nissan models. A third production Z is reportedly also on US soil, equipped with a manual transmission and the Type S package. Apparently the 3 cars are being shipped to American Dealers for review before being given to the American press. Only 2 have leaked. A white Z is still under wraps. Interesting info about Australia. Should Nissan Australia opt to bring in only the circa-US$45,000 (AU$59,000) Type ST variant, pricing for the new Nissan Z could start from upwards of $65,000 before on-road costs Down Under. Base model would be $52,000 AUD The NewNissanZ post claims a choice of four Z 'variants' will be available, comprising the entry-level US$34,995 model, a pair of 'Type S' and 'Type T' option packages, and a fully-loaded 'Type ST' flagship. Standard equipment on the entry-level grade will reportedly include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a widescreen infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Akebono brakes with fixed calipers, and the rear 'ducktail' spoiler first seen in leaked images earlier this week. 400Z name tag has never been confirmed so car most likely will be just Nissan Z outside Japan. Horsepower unlikely to be anything above '400hp'. The Nismo the insider claims will be a lot more different than the 370GT to 370 Nismo. The insider claims significant power hike and all wheel drive. A bit far fetched to be honest. Roadster or T top is still an option. Release timeline is supposedly Q2 2022 after the Tokyo Motorshow. Starting US price of $34,000 up to $45,000 depending on trim. $34,000 in US but probably higher in Japan as that price seems too good to be true. That would make it cheaper than a US Civic Type R ($37,000). Considering the price of the Supra stateside it should cost closer to 40k for base Z realistically. The top spec GT will most likely be around $45k which makes sense Dry weight 3252 lbs
  4. Mark 1 Nismo based in Scotland has been on Autotrader for around 7 months. Hes listed it at 25k lol. I think hes just cheesed off at the timewasters. I think an offer of 17k see what he says. There are also a few mark 2 slightly overpriced though. Thats if youre still looking
  5. See the number plate relocation thread
  6. Thanks, hope this helps @CalvinPomfret I think id consider it in future. As long as the magnets are strong enough, that it needs some effort to take off then it should be good. One better than having velcro I think.
  7. yeah the magnet option seems the best tbh. Might have to give that a go. Im gona try the velcro plates I already ordered in a few weeks. In what form did you buy the magnets. I saw neodymium bars, rings and different shapes on Ebay. They have 3mm discs on Ebay...How do you get those smaller pieces for better effect? Was it epoxy resin liquid you used? These ok? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/small-large-NEODYMIUM-MAGNETS-1mm-2mm-3mm-thick-Round-Rings-Cylinder-Discs/132012556278?hash=item1ebc8fbff6:g:IHsAAOSwDnldkLi5 https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=epoxy+resin+glue&_trksid=p2334524.m4084.l1311&_osacat=0&_odkw=epoxy+resin&_sacat=0
  8. you mean too wide? you can get a narrow plate but if you have a private plate you can fit less letters into a plate like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Road-Legal-Front-Rear-4D-DOUBLE-6MM-Laser-Small-Short-16-Inch-Number-Plates/133378310183?hash=item1f0df78027:g:KgQAAOSwd5Feh3NP
  9. Good races. Tune on Z. Stick with the Z

  11. Two holes. Can fill and respray. You can try the bottom grey lip in the middle but youll need something to hold it in place or the motorised option. It does look off but at least can be retracted.
  12. lol somewhat less mean than the 370. I hope the dash is a bit customizable and not just preset. Would be cool if you could move the nav to the dash like the Audis. I doubt it though. But should get the information needed. Well looks like theres an expo coming up around August - September The roof looks optional body coloured or gloss black. GTR brakes removed? According to NewNissanZ forum they say there should be a reveal late summer.
  13. Same here although Its not as dashing as the current 370 Nismo but It has a more european shape to it. Just the front is marmite for a lot of people. We just need an unveil with specs and pricing. Even if theyre looking at12 months time to hit the dealers its still a good timeline for release. Really hope the 443 hp and 1475kg rumour is true. Hopefully the Nismo will be around 475hp. Apparently the car is being shipped to be part of a presentation so hopefully they release more details soon.
  14. Looks ok, Grill and Handles have changed a bit along with the lip spoiler addition. I dont think its worth 50k though. It wont take long to depreciate 10-15k. We will probably see the first one here by next Spring. Still no specs unfortunately Louvers on this specific colour would improve the look. Theyve lost the side indicator lamp due to the Z on the rear side. The headlamps have been made to have a side profile. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMu_oypnh4_/
  15. MG are hoping to develop an EV sports coupe along with the concept E Motion below. Rumours suggest a low ball starting £30,000 pound price. Where as the Cyberster will cost a bit more due to its higher range and performance. The concept cyberster should be revealed on the 31st of March. Both will be full EV. Cyberster concept looks like a speedster but may be developed into a roadster and go on sale in UK. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-mg-cyberster-concept-due-31-march-500-mile-range
  16. Sad times. They have up to 2035. There shouldn't be a rush to do this. Petrol Hybrid I can understand for the next generation 911

  18. GT Content raises concerns over VR30 Engine issues and why they should be addressed
  19. They just want it shifted. Why would it fail straight away?! If the AA/RAC did a hpi check the mechanic probably wont show. I rather go for a different one unless they shifting it for 14-15k and the car drives straight.
  20. Good points. In manual and automatic cars you could downshift and use engine braking. In an electric well, I noticed in the KIA Niro they have paddle buttons. I'm guessing one increases and the other decreases regenerative braking strength similar to engine braking. Could be completely wrong. It wont stop you rolling down a steep hill but it may help friction on a slight gradient. It would reduce the need to constantly brake while taking your foot off the gas.
  21. What a fun guest and host on Top Gear. Definitely inspired more women into German Motorsport. RIP Sabine Schmitz..
  22. What happens when you pull the switch while moving? is there a safety mechanism that stops the ebrakes engaging or does it begin slowing down. Just wondering what the fail safe is in an emergency if brakes fail or passenger sabotage ie messing with your buttons!
  23. Similar reason you prefer an older NA car to an updated EV, Turbo Assisted or Hybrid. There are pro and cons to both. Less to go wrong I guess. While this might be user error nothing beats a conventional Rod and Cable handbrake
