If you wish to set the record straight and put Josh on the naughty step PS: Product placement, my 2016 65 plate nismo is up for sale 18399 which is not far off px on a newer car. There was a black 64 plate for sale at 17500 for 5 days. Either got snapped up or taken down. 4 Nismos for sale, Rumours of production end probably changed a few minds about selling. 'Probably'.... Im just suprised about the White mk1 in Scotland been on there longer than mine. Its colour coded. Suprised no ones bought it. If I was looking Id probably try knock it down a bit. At the end of the day your budget is your budget and there are a few from the 54 zeds for sale under 15k

I saw a cop pull over two guys. The govt really get their moneys worth with tickets. No cops in 4 years. My secret, stick to the speed limit. Even tailgaters get frustrated...

owner myself welcome to the forums

Appliance is literally what its likely to be, being Electric . I can kinda see the science behind using compressed air for propelling, hovering and steering as gimmick seems a bit far fetched though.

https://uk.motor1.com/news/490260/tesla-roadster-5-insane-features-car-has/amp/ Apparently will be revealed this summer. It could come with thrusters that help acceleration and hover a meter off the ground without killing anyone. Maybe it will hover at a max speed of 30 mph for safety reasons who knows. Musk says the roadster will outperform any gas combustion Supercar hands down. Rocket thrusters all around the car will improve handling apparently using compressed air during acceleration and cornering. Production should start in 2022! On a side note some companies in Europe are trying to get their flying cars licensed by the relevant regulatory bodies. Road agencies, FAA and European regulatory bodies. Nothing is impossible right? Claimed specs 0-60 1.9 seconds 250mph top speed $200,000 620 mile range

The turbo doesn't kick in till 3500rpm apparently its not going to be mindblowing when the lights change...being in London I think its ok speed wise...The standard Abarth monza exhaust is already loud and raspy enough. Not sure about the aftermarket ragazzon exhaust seems overkill tbh. I was sitting in a quiet country lane on Tuesday 'working from home' and saw an ND MX5 with a loud exhaust go by. Possibly had the BBR tune. Cant beat NA for sound though. Newer 184 NDs are still 18k plus. That's why 124 would be better. Although I might need the adjusted seat rails from US as im 2 inches too tall over 6 foot. They lower the seat by 1-2 inches. I saw a review from a 5'11 lady and she still had headroom with roof up as standard.

Speaking of tunes been doing some overnight reading, and some have recommended a gt1725s or gt1446 turbo drop in with diverter and Air intake. Couple hundred pounds in parts to take it to 230hp. Full build inc map, turbo, diverter valve is around 2k apparently. Not sure if you need a BOV. 250hp is possible but at risk. I read a guy in Canada did cams taking it from a TJet His 300hp build was a built engine costing $10,000. 230hp is more than enough in 1060kg Abarth. 5.5- 6 seconds and 13 point something more than adequate. Not to mention Torque is around 260-270ft lbs apparently. In real world terms thats nippy and just as quick as an NA tuned Mx5 possibly. I think that would be perfect spot. Definitely interested in one of these. Leaning towards the Abarth over the Lusso. Time will tell.

If youre looking for a Nismo a black mk2 is available for £17500 with reasonable miles. mk 1 is 17999 can probably knock it down. Id consider the mk1 as well

Crazy. Good thing I dont live on "the block" Id probably be on bricks by now What you think of rim protectors the proper ones? In a similar colour or black. Michelins/Goodyears already sort of protect the rims

its more the contrast than a "hole" i suppose. I also remember white rims being over done by Honda enthusiasts. Gunmetal on White is ok, you can still see they add a nice touch thats probably why Nismo went for very dark grey on the v2s and not black. Bronze or Gold could work too £3000 rims...wow...Have to pay to play I guess.

How much are they? I prefer the V2 Rims but in Black with the chrome tips factory. Sets off the car. I dont mind V1 rims theyre different.

I rather a Urine Z P than the GTR especially when that engine can be tuned to 600hp and run under 11 seconds. An engine swap with vr30 in the 370 would be interesting. Id say take your time. There will be more coming on the market soon. Midwest have a history of selling ZEDs

Just speeding probably. Junctions usually have huge dips in US. Might have lost control at 155-174mph

Id be happy with 475 to 525 bhp. Thats a lot of money lol. Better have a spare engine on tap then. Makes sense.

600-900 hp sounds great in a videogame. Putting the power down on slick soft UK roads depends. How much would it cost to forge an engine?

The guy with the silver Nismo had a Q60 at 600hp. Ran under 11 seconds despite weighing 1800kg. I guess aside from the rev hang looks good. Much needed power increase I think. Hopefully the car will come with 400 ft lbs and 400hp+ VR30 swap!

Im in Harrow. There are less for sale now around 12 so may be a harder find.

I cant blame people tbh. Electric and VAG on a Nissan Z forum its not high on the list of talkaboutism.

4.08 gears, GT LSD, Ecutek. Upgraded cooling.

who wouldn't, slightly overkill but whos looking

Youre planning to lower it?
