Gold looks sharper but a bit BMW M4. I rather Urine Yellow -
Ev batteries is this finally the turning point?
GranTurismoEra replied to stanski's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I thought they said supercharging is bad for batteries long term. Any advancement that makes it feasible without reducing the battery life is good news. -
Needs a more aggressive diffuser.

can the engine safely handle anything over 500bhp stock?

Thats very cheap. Topaz in Wembley apparently charges £1500. Where did you go because I need to respray my grey part on front bumper then put it on

Black is nice too. @Whitevanman one looked really fresh depends on how you keep it really. Ive got a white one thats no where near perfect but still fresh overall. The red one is not bad id still say if it was private it would be cheaper by a grand or more. Production is coming to an end so new ones will be few. There should be more coming up over the next 5 months. I think many people will hold on now its end of life in terms of production unless hard times hit. -

Overpriced not worth more than 20k..... Common issues clutch and Tramlining. Looks like it was changed, also modified with maps. I rather get a stock one thats never been tampered with. -
Have you checked out the common issues with the car? if you can live with those then why not.

Check out this dummy

yep, that alone won't be cheap either.

All good when 2030 swings around itll be getting late as you say and modding will only get more expensive. So its now or never. Im sure hes got his own plan for the car. I dont know all the details. Hes done his own research on the car and on forums. I only opened the thread to ask if anyone else had done something similar. Like I said it will take a considerable amount of time and money. Hes going down the specialist route so it will be in stages with each stage requiring hardware and work to be done. The biggest stumbling blocks are the Turbo, ECU, possible gearbox purchases with labour as well as Engine builds if he chooses to add race cams, change internals etc. Its safer to do as people have blown their engines. If it was self built its easy to forget things. There are many specialists in the country that can build the car. He hasn't said who hes going with. Obviously Ive told him its not realistic and how much hes looking at to achieve 700-800hp let alone 1000hp. Its what he wants. So when its all set and done yes big money which could be better invested in big pharma, Tesla stocks over the 5 years but this is his thing. Yep I remember 'Herbie goes bananas' and the remake. You never took a shine to the modern Beetles then?

"attention whoring"... Not on social media tick. Not known in car circles tick, doesnt attend many meets tick....Hes only doing Youtube to document it and for anyone remotely interested No ones seeking any attention or approval. Just a discussion and asking if anyone done it or got close to doing it... If you wanted to put an LS3 in an MX5 id be happy to see it as a car guy and offer encouragement where possible. ZP having spoken to someone who works in Renault-Nissan there could still be u-turn and importation is still possible on the downlow Thats the difference.
-
Same difference. According to you there was no Z P coming either. Even when I said so in 2019. Its not even about getting it wrong. Its the pessimism. Impossible is a barrier built by people with a negative mentality. If its never going to happen you must be involved in some sort of time travel?

Who wants to grab the last one at £31,000 from Edinburgh. A high chance there will be more 'new' ones or near new in the run up to Summer. Thats all she wrote.

Not my words The below was posted earlier on the **REMOVED** forum, so, get your orders in soon. Or alternatively keep on saying that you want/ed an analog, 2 seat rear wheel drive n/a V6 coupe/roadster, then not buy it because of the badge.NISMO NEWS | 370Z End of ProductionDear NISMO centres,End of Production for 370Z CoupeWe would like to inform you that the production of the MY20 370Z will be coming to an end on 30th Septmeber 2020 for the UK market.On Sale for more than 10 years, the 370Z was one of the last Sports Coupes to feature a naturally aspirated V6 engine and as such was a true celebration of Nissan’s ‘Z’ car heritage.Throughout its lifecycle, the 370Z has proven to be a popular and versatile with a number of special editions such as the Yellow edition, Black edition and last year’s 50th Anniversary edition. We know that this much loved model will be well remembered and continue to be cherished by its army of loyal fans.We encourage you to sell from existing stock, whether your own or from NDS first.There is a last opportunity to place sold customer orders only for the final production month of September, with expected November arrival in the UK.

A new Electric A110, a crossover and an SUV. The only realistic path for Renault Nissan sports cars in Europe is hybrid or electrified. The A110 has sold around 1950 in 2018 and 4300 cars in 2019. This year they are projected around 1500 cars..pandemic maybe.. They may be the first to offer an electrified sports car since Teslas original roadster as successor to the A110. Aside from other smaller independent unknown limited electric sporty cars out there. Before that a Crossover and an SUV. A good move for Alpine and Lotus? https://www.motor1.com/news/466086/alpine-ev-brand-official/

That's interesting and along the way you havent accounted for the people not on social media, on forums or on the Scene. Loads of DMOs that dont make much noise. Sleepers that go about their business. Its a huge ambition but you never know. Its a lot of money and work but its not impossible.
