hmm the Renault techie reckons it can happen but unlikely. Some main dealers have imported cars unofficially in the past I just wonder if its depending on things like interest locally. UK are still part of the paris agreement. If anything sales of leafs and micras may stay the same. Nissan need to probably sell as much as Tesla for that to be possible. Possible if only they had a saloon design like Sony or Tesla for the leaf and call it a Leaf XL or something. Oh yeah and Nissan UK boss and someone in Government can make it happen maybe but business case isnt really there

The Nismo 370 is just a neckbreaker. I had a few calls when it was up for sale. The public love it and kids constantly yell at their parents and point. The new Z will only have a fraction of that attention due to simpler more plain design featuring the rarity factor and being new. Thats why Im keeping the 370 nismo for now as opposed to trying to go faster. Im content. When I was on Instagram the general consensus was modding the front grill and adding suttle bodykits....Any Nismo version will probably have a different front grill and rear bumper I just wish the rear lights were wider giving it a more prominent neon bulb look. Also wish the front grill was more angular. maybe someone will paint the bottom half of the grill to match the primary colour to give it the 240 look

Got to love Aleems arrogance (rich kid)
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Off Topic Discussion
hmm, sometimes let people live a little. Even the approach can make a huge difference. With some friendly banter and polite request the guy would probably have left quietly. It could have escalated quickly with the crowd. Despite that he didnt need to be so rude lol...Its an old video apparently hes a different guy now -
I read Hyundai were building ships and LG current build smart homes and apartment blocks in Korea. Sony have outsourced their car to another company to build then theyll do the rest. Honda makes private jets. They did from 4 years ago. Honda Jet only has a 1400 mile range and seats 6 people. Theyre like 4.5 million I think. Diversifying in this uncertain climate is a good idea Apple and Sony are just a few im sure many more non automotive companies wish to build an EV

well this car is made specifically for North America. I know what you mean. USA is their primary market and the main reason this car came about. So the feedback will be critical to the final design. If Americans like it then it will stay. Main issue they have is probably the grill.

Crime does pay. Model citizens get left behind...... Lets not go into the CRB talk. It is what it is folks. If you know the system you can benefit. Literally... Big up Birmingham

Synth jet fuel, could diesel make a comeback?
GranTurismoEra replied to stanski's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I thought Jet Fuel was Kerosene. Im all for alternatives so niche companies like Aston Martin can continue to operate in EU. If they can get the cost down to One Euro per litre they could be onto something. Right now Im sure I read it costs £4 per litre right now to produce synth fuel... Porsche are also looking into it now... I see fuel pumps using Hydrogen, Alcohol whatever that might be, Unleaded with increased methanol content and new cleaner bio diesel for commercial vehicles. Looking at higher costs I think -
Well Apples Steve Wozniak did a Datsun commercial once. So they could share battery tech with Nissan. Okay thats reaching, they could always redesign the Leaf and make it look less prius. Nows the time for Apple to capitalise on their market share and feed the fanboys. I'm guessing Sonys car will be cheaper than Apples

The chrome on the roof line is supposed to be a Katana blade representation. So that will be a different colour on certain colour choices.

Great opportunity to raise revenue and keep the roads safe again. Warning letters will be sent. Once trial period ends fines will be dished out.

350Z Best Performance Coupe under £10k on PH
GranTurismoEra replied to Samoht's topic in 350Z General
Well thats a shock! -
It is what it is but thats just my opinion. The last generation was NA nothing wrong with that as that was 2013. The rumours circulating were that it would be a 2.4 with a small turbo since the last one had the torque dip and didnt feel as powerful as the ep3 apparently. Each to their own I guess. Price points not much difference. Brand new 86 is around 30k depending where you go without the obligatory 4-8k discount some dealers are offering on demos and new cars. Like I said before depends what you want. If a dealer are offering the same 86 with 1000 miles and 6k off thats a different convo to a GR Yaris. Circuit pack isnt a must as you could get a basic one and mod it years later if youre not tracking it. Just like Nismo isn't a must on the 370.... I get it, different strokes for different folks. Its not about comparing sizes its what youre getting for the money paid.

GR Yaris is faster than the Type R thanks to all wheel drive at 1200kg and can run borderline 14 seconds quarter mile. Apparently can be mapped to run a bit better Depends what you want out of a car. Personally I wouldn't spend 30k on the 86.....i dont feel its worth more than 24k at best. So used approved it is. The GR Yaris is more bang for buck in terms of what youre getting. its a smaller engine but the suspension, drive systems and R and D make up for it hence price. NA visceral type experience ive already got a 370 its just on the heavy side....not an easy car to recover if you lose footing....compared with the lighter 86. The 86 has its advantages
