575bhp from 345hp Jeez.....Thats Serious..Stage 3 bigger turbos?....The mk3 TTRS would be great for someone who wants similar drama to the v10 for half the price. Although its no v10. Some might say you could get a 6-8 year old R8 for the price of a brand new TTRS just the running costs. Brakes alone are probably more than a GTR on a much older R8. I think the TTS mk 3 would be level on performance with the Z without the noise. TTRS would be quicker and a good sound better too... @Ekona the common faults are too many to list. Im sure MMI, Windows and other Electrical faults. As you say could go years without an issue. Under warranty would be ok. Ive heard of lemon zeds in the states for sure. @ShortPaul the Z would be better to keep although does attract a lot of attention ie tailgating and boyracers im.usually in the left lane with the priuses when busy lol This new Z would be a debadge 100% thats depending on price..Really and truely it should be priced at 35-44k and Nismo at 53k? Keeping the Z is likely we,ll see. Something says keep it for another year to 18 months then see what the prices are in Japan for ZP lol...in terms of looks ZP isnt on the 370 nismo level imo...Still a year away tho @Lee370Z yep my former boss had that mk2 TT. They came with the hairdresser tag which had me and colleagues scratching our heads... The mk3 looks more updated with a nicer interior...Cleaner lines. Just a bit on the small side. The 370 is much bigger and in your face... I burned 50 miles of petrol driving in town today. It returns maybe 5-10 miles once on a long consistent run...The TT would be cheaper to run daily petrol wise. I reckon 25mpg in town though for the TTRS hmm

I checked with my brother who claims his mates TT shut down on the motorway. Ive never broken down on a motorway in 12 years of driving Japanese. What issues am I looking at with these cars. How reliable can they be. Wonder if anyone here has had the mark 3 current gen 2016 -

Probably needs an update. Check out the below "news" article https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8971487/One-three-motorists-afford-cheapest-electric-car-warn-experts.html

we need to find an alternative biofuel and push that as an alternative. As everything electric is not realistic for everyone. I like the idea of Cleaner fuel as opposed to just electric Eventually there will be many petrol cars converted to electric

Nice one,

Biden can request a White House eviction of Trump on Jan 20th. I think the supreme court will throw Trumps case out. As it undermines their system and makes US out to be hypocrites when it comes to Elections. Which is not the case but for Trump. It will be difficult for Biden over the next 4 years if Republicans dominate the senate. Then again many rebuplicans no longer back Trump due to his disparaging comments on the electoral system.

Was speaking to a Renault/Nissan Tech and he said he doesnt buy the posturing from Nissan. But we may see a hybrid/electric version of the Z in future during the facelift era. Although I mentioned the need to adapt the car adding OPF filters and all sorts which is counter productive to making money having to spend money on modified exhaust systems and Lights, just to sell 100 units in EU first year... In the meantime can always go German or pick up something else. While Nissan change the current line up to Hybrids. Because Nissan want the GTR to be sold worldwide its most likely going to be a non plug in Hybrid V6 with integrated assist motors and regeneration braking. I expect more screens and less switches. The GTR will have a lot more tech than the Z

All that flapping and fanning just made it worse. The insurance company wont cover that since its public knowledge how it caught fire with mods not declared probably Im no engineer. Some cars already pop a flame or two naturally. It makes great Instagram posts but the risk involved is too great Id never dream of driving a performance car without a fire extinguisher. V6 already runs very hot as it is Constant abusive revving like a 9 year old on helium and sugar doesn't help

And thats key to developing A.I that works. Its ability to learn. Without learning and development from Tesla its going to make many mistakes. Also roads without lanes and dirt roads would be interesting

I thought cars weren't supposed to shoot flames? Flame maps with no fire extinguisher.

Nissans project for the next 5 years for the Leaf race car.

Whats this about full self drive costing £6800 or $10,000 in US.

its being rerun

Deserves more subs. That Nismo clout. He had changed the LSD. The same guy drifted for 50 seconds up a spiralling parking lot ramp

if they can bin the 6 pot brakes then the Z makes sense. Unless theyre going big power the GTR brakes should be an option not standard.

not really. Cayman GT4 will still be 60k+ SVR 45 and up. I dont think values will drop that fast unless there is a huge slump in sales. GTR will be the highest depreciation im sure. a 17 plate then will probably start from £50,000

I really think interior wise 4 circular vents and a longer screen in between with AC dials at the bottom would have been slicker. But hey...

my brothers looks exactly the same but with black interior. At least you dont need to keep the engine running to watch Netflix! How much battery would it use for a 2 hour movie with heating on low to medium lol

https://jalopnik.com/the-nissan-z-proto-is-in-america-and-it-looks-amazing-1845518631 Has arrived in America on press tour. Possibly Journalist reviews. Unfortunately its just opinions. Not allowed to show engine bay probably. Just talk. Probably need to wait 6 7 months for final product. The only thing that matters

I think there will be one or two on the road. Just that chances of seeing them are extremely slim. I for one would be interested in importing one but I wouldn't pay more than the current car new price which is 35-40k for a low mileage so that probably rules me out for the first 2-3 years if priced like the Supra. If the car is essentially a Z34 I don't feel its worth more than a few bob above the current car. Tbh I think Nissan will want at least £10,000 above the current car

Theres clearly bias in the media. Thats why we cant have nice things. Unfortunately the result is not many new products. Now confirmed no new product for EU. Its not purely a Paris agreement. It wasnt cost effective to add opf for selling 100 cars in West EU The Z proto has been well received in US despite the front design. Just a case of pricing now. Cant see it being less than £45,000 new and £38,000 used initially. They may go one further and price it at $50,000 in US. If they really want to hit the younger crowd it needs to be similar price to the current car at $40-$51,000 Get rid of the 6 piston brakes as thats adding $1000 dollars to the current maintenance. Unless they plan on going for more stock power than initially intended Be interesting to see if they give a price by January.

Stealers have a knack for putting on cheap to mid range caca tyres on performance cars. I had a go at Nissan Bury for using Nexen tires. Total crap. Yes replace all tyres.

i had my side windows tinted but not the rear due to the heating elements and light in the cabin. Recently took them off though.
