  1. That tax will soon be transferred onto the most expensive Electric cars when the windfall starts reducing due to Electric upgrades. Have an 8 week lockdown every year while offering £3000-£6000 in scrappage grants depending on age or emissions of scrap car. Greenhouse gases reduced. Climate change delayed. Bobs your brother
  2. ££££ not cheap. Id say the most important bits are the red trims. Something like front bumper, bonnet, mirrors and fenders can cost as much as £1500 at a place like Topaz in London. There will be places that do it cheaper though as its just a wrap. Id shop around. I heard that they use a machine to make the cuttings. I dont see how it different than wrapping. I visited a place in London. They wanted £800 for bonnet and front bumper as well as fenders. I didnt bother with my current car though as ive already got some chips which ill get to later
  3. Nice ZED dude. Yep ive gone on 2-3 hr spirited runs using as little as 30 miles of petrol. Have you thought about ppf on the front bumper and side skirts.
  4. the 2019 micra has DAB crazy stuff lol looks a good option
  5. First things first why not look into the holders and see if its compatible before anything else. Then order it in. Also I think this set up is more or less the future in newer cars https://workshoptwelve.com/nissan-370z/ Also looks like this kit is for cars with no navigation so need to convert your AC controls to that of a base Zed. A lot of work involved https://support.workshoptwelve.com/portal/kb/articles/370z-navigation-climate-control-swap Currently i get Sat Nav traffic updates etc. With the tablet you need data or to piggyback of your phone etc. Not sure theres a way around that. Data sim unlimited everything maybe....Check the mods he made to allow home button to be accessible as well as to be able to turn it off etc below. Youve probably seen all this but still..
  6. yeah if I had to get rid of the 370Z and Honda. GTi or Golf R would be ideal. but knowing me id end up with the TTS
  7. they did in small numbers on previous gen I think
  8. Itll probably similar price from £26,000-£35,000.... Each to their own. More screens, loss of buttons, and more refinement for more money. Everyone's different im either going cheap end £900 runaround or if im spending £40k probably something more upmarket and sporty new Z or full Electric like Model 3. Its functional does a job but so does a 17 Civic at half the price.....albeit slightly noisier Civic with thinner doors and more road noise. Each to their own. I suppose its a mid range semi luxury a to b car. Where a Civic would be seen as a mid range a to b with a few gadgets who dont want or need the premium or the problems a Golf would bring. Also people with families who dont want an SUV have another option too. The Mark 5-7.5 were good cars. I was tempted by the R 7.5.... But I thought Id get something more specific for the money. As time passes that may translate into Electric or a Golf.... Especially when reality kicks in and its no longer viable to drive Zeds or afford a Cayman GTS, GT4 for longer than a year lol....
  9. First time I bought a Nismo I waited 4 months for an ex demo to come up. That one was fresh and had tramlining issues. The second one I bought through Nissan at distance and should really have rejected it due to shoddy bodywork I had it in the bodyshop in the first week. I left them a tasty review for all to see and didnt want any help from the dealer (Nissan Bury) . They had budget Nexen tires at the front and worn michelins PS at the back. Brakes needed doing after 2500 miles Id say be patient and wait for a good example to come up. Theres a black one for sale 11k miles at Nissan London West. Also test drive thoroughly, brake over uneven surfaces make sure car is not tramlining.Its a hard ride so make sure youre okay with that. Check brake pads using a small mirror and torch. Just check the car thoroughly. Clutch can be an issue on these cars too Current car drives straight no issues... Either way I cant expect to get more than £20,000. A rare car only 1 or 2 people might buy.... Worth waiting for one you're happy with.
  10. Lol safe and conservative. Blend in and stay blended. Wolfsburg's finest Trust me Golf owners are not interested in road presence.
  11. Apparently according to post I saw on another forum pre-production test cars start production in Arizona from end of September. Theyve been using a 370Z as a shell and a Supra as benchmark. Im sure as time goes on theyll have other cars to run against. So camo cars will probably be around from Winter/Spring next year. Id like them to test against other cars like TTRS and M2 Competition. TTRS being the fastest in this segment to 60. If they do produce a Nismo that will be the benchmark for sure That GuillamleRouge guy also rendered the interior below. Which he admitted was just a project before the teaser was revealed I think this blue render is the closest due to the bonnet, rear end and roof lines
  12. Might be on your own there lol... Plus someone else can easily beat me to it
  13. I'm more interested in the interior. Hopefully theyll keep it clean and simple. Im sure another teaser will be shown in the next few months. I think they will use better materials judging by the other models. Since the Z doesn't look anything like their signature cars might be given a plusher and more stylish interior. Unfortunately its a guarantee looks wont impress everybody. Either way lets see what the specs are and full reveal
  14. Render from Japanese mag. If anything that looks like a Nismo or Nismo parts with the vents. The rear lights im not sure but its possible with the new LEDS. I dont mind some 300ZX design at the back. I think clear glass at the back with those lights would be cool. The Rims not sure why theyd render the current wheels. Hope Nissan come up with better designs leaning towards Judd and rohana designs. Im sure rays can do something good
  15. I hope its not as fat as this. Hell no to Merc grill Hope its slimmer like the 240Z. This looks like F type, Mondeo and Aston V8 all in one. Hope the Autoguide render is the closest with some alterations
  16. lol ive been cruising since Boris said you could go further out for exercise. Making videos and stuff. I sometimes head that way towards Twickenham.
  17. welcome mate. At last someone not all the way in Kent or Essex. Im in Northolt. Got a white 370Z Nismo. Had a 350Z back in 2016.
  18. should be offered in manual i find rear wheel drive paddle shift a bit off except on the M3 E92. That thing sounds crazy with a Meisterschaft GTC. Someone actually did a manual conversion wonder how much it cost This where Nissan can capitalise. Slightly more power, manual, possible twin turbo, fully Japanese potentially unless an auto gear box comes from Mercedes. Potential is there
  19. Mercedes probably with their 9 Speed Auto I reckon
  20. Going retro style means simpler, cleaner lines I think. The same will be probably apply to the interior. Headlights, rear lights, colors, wheels and placement of the badges will probably be the only real things to set it apart. Itll have more of a hatchback or f type look. I dont think this bulky render is the one lol. These are my preferences. From Autoguide
  21. Rear lights? I think theyll be similar to 300zx but more led based. Center console, Id like something cleaner Rear arches im not sure. I think theyll be similar to the render more rounded than flared.
  22. Guess thats why my brother wants told hold onto his Supra. Hoping it will one day at least cost as much as £30-40,000. Same as the manual Supras
  23. I think Autoguides render is the most accurate so far. Time will tell subject to designers changes again im still questioning the roof line being similar to the 370 the video. The render attempts to add curvature and mirrors on the door. I dont think Nissan will take the path with the mirrors and curved roofline. We will see... Matt Maran reckons Nissan will call it Z400. Hopefully not. I think it should just be Z in Europe and Fairlady Z in Japan. Time will tell
