  1. still waiting for the clip bro! If you ever sell ill be waiting in the wings!
  2. Lol a lawyer actually could make your case worse. As theyll be trying to argue mitigating circumstances instead of admitting wrongdoing, apologizing and showing remorse... like a shorter ban instead of points etc as he needs to get to band practice aka second job to make ends meet. As is everyones right to take a lawyer in those extreme circumstances. I read somewhere that they are reviewing 12 pointers as ppl are still on the road with 24 points etc. Also mitigating circumstances im sure that will be stricter in future. Hardship has been used to escape where others have been given 6 month bans through totting up to 12 points 104 with no punishment sounds like a place where you pay the police and carry on. Anything up to 80mph gps should be allowed on a clear dry day with low traffic
  3. I did way over 61 in a 40. I got 6 points depends on your record and the judge. There are other factors like conditions and how busy it is. As the police lady said. The speed speaks for itself. It could easily have been a 6 month to a year ban. It also could have been 2 - 6 months ban (56 days to 180 days).

  5. Thats a long term listed car. He needs to put the price at £2500 or throw that front bumper in the bin where it belongs
  6. Just stay away from Monaco. You get tickets for breathing
  7. Closer look.
  8. 57 in a 50 is on the border of 10% plus 2. Its just to allow space for uncalibrated speedos. Translation they're doing us a favour. Since countries like France fine people for 41 in a 40 apparently. Its not right but its still enforceable. If you did 58,59 or 60 you could have got 3 points. The course is usually only offered when on the buffer once. ie 46 in a 40. Police discretion. I may be wrong but further classification beyond Band C exist for excess speed in terms of punishment. They say 56 days it could be longer depending on Severity. ie 90 in a 30 which could be jail or a year + ban. 50 in 30 is band B, could also be points/ban depends on conditions and severity. If you did that near a busy school zone at 3:30pm on a Tuesday with kids around in a 30 zone usually 20 in London then theyd probably throw the book at you and try going beyond guidelines. Sure nobody died but thats besides the point. Those bands are guidelines but definitely not guaranteed. Also depends what the officer puts in report. "was racing" "conditions were wet and hazy" "also overtook at zebra crossing"
  9. its discretionary based on area and prosecuting police force. The first time i got 3 points for 35 inna 30 in an old 1995 car. My mate attended 2 speed awareness courses over 4 years I think. Speed awareness course isnt always guaranteed the first time
  10. My retirement car for sure. They're going up all the time. A lot of work but worth it me thinks!
  11. Great idea on the foams as opposed paying the full for a finished set. Just wondering where you got the foams from for future reference. Sorry just seen it Capital seating. You got new covers from them as well? Thanks
  12. £66.24 is how much it cost direct from Nissan. Includes the surrounding plastic and heating matrix. Available for £45. Should fit any 370Z...Spoiler sold. Just the mirror for sale
  13. Sold despite the little things...... Missed opportunity . Expect to pay 20-21k at the dealer lol... Lock the thread please. Thanks
  14. AAMs from US. For Nismo 370 Used with some marks. Are loud enough without being overbearing. Burble, pops, bangs and clean sound. 2 or 3 pops without map. could do with a polish..Scratch is where the bumper is ....pick up from Northolt/Harrow Price negotiable £300.
  15. https://www.nissanzclub.com/forum/threads/400z-production-colors-simulation-renderings.112/ I missed a few
  16. Some bargains to be had out there.
  17. Supra still sold in America very well considering COVID. 5000 cars is still good considering. According to many Supra forums a lot of people were dissapointed. Many people already traded in their 19 plates by summer 2020. We can say its down to Covid mainly. A spruced up 350 is okay considering the 350 did really well. Funny that the 370 sales in 2009-2012 are slightly in line with the current Supra numbers. Nissan need to move on to the R36 and update the Z platform but thats not going to happen till electrification. If the $34,000 base price is to be believed that makes it cheaper than a Z4 30i, Civic Type R, not much more expensive than a BRZ/86. It opens up sales I can see it selling a lot in the first year. Lets apply the same criticisms to other brands who have had the same look and platform for over a decade. Some brands havent changed the profile of their cars for 30 years. Also no need for Nissan to spend £1 billion developing a short lived platform that will only exist for 7 years, till it needs to change for the purpose of electrification. When they are recovering from losses in 2019. Reusing the 370 is better than teaming up with BMW for their parts bin and alienating Toyota enthusiasts. Japanese drifter called the Supra ****.
  18. Design Video Missing sound in places Forward to 9 minutes
  19. 2 months late https://usa.nissanstories.com/en-US/releases/the-essence-of-z-ness-2
  20. I think the backlash against the Supra would have put many people off. Many people were no longer interested once they knew BMW were involved and the car would not come with manual. Then the car looking way smaller than the FT-1. Some would have held out for a possible Z35 instead. I dont think they want to create a new platform till electrification. Not worth it when you're still recovering from huge debts. Still at least a few years till the supposed petrol hybrid.
  21. I think it will sell more than the current Supra because Manual option A lot of Z enthusiasts dont like the grill but they know theres aftermarket ready to go Less fussy design Made in Japan despite Auto box being from Mercedes Lower price point especially the base model at "$34,000" gets more ppl in a sports car where others cant afford the Supra or have to get a 4 pot First year sales for Supra were around 2800+ second year a lot more at 4800+ The Z may still come up short due to more plain design though. I cant see why Nissan wont shift 3-5k cars mostly around the base and middle trims I agree the design could be better slightly but I think cost could be a factor. Crossover parts save money. It would be unreasonable to price it at the same level as the Supra as its using a 4 year old engine plus 370 parts. The Supra is much newer. If the rumours are to be believed. The pricing is actually interesting at $34,000 - $45,000
