  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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...
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/nissan-ceo-test-drives-400z-sports-car-prototype-says-its-fantastic-150748.html Lyrical waxing
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. lol as Motor1 and the rest have said..Its okay when Porsche, Ferrari and co do it. Heres a render
  13. SSC Owned by Shelby? 1750 hp. Traction issues wont be suprised looks like a work in progress.
  14. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/supercars/sscs-tuatara-fastest-car-world-331mph-top-speed Beating the Bugatti Chiron!
  15. lool, grills galore.... Turboing and engine swap are a bit of a headache. There are some q60 engines for sale and a few people in the states have done it. Better off either staying old school or changing brand
  16. I think the pale yellow paint doesn't help in the slightest. The 370 nismo still has better looks for me. Hoping for a midlife facelift. One thing that wont change are the headlights. Everything else can be worked on. Maybe the aftermarket can do something with the appearance of the headlights, front bumpers and fenders
  17. Otherwise there are reasons why Apple chose not to go beyond 12 MP for the past 3 iterations. Also their 4k video has more stabilization so much so you dont really need a Gimbal.
  18. I hope it gets smashed by depreciation so I can import it
  19. hows the camera? I see Huawei are now using a 50mp camera.
  20. https://www.thedrive.com/news/37025/nissan-z-proto-will-reach-production-pretty-much-unchanged-says-nissan-executive As first thought. Not much will change. Take it or leave it lol Theres the aftermarket. Makes no difference to us since its not coming here lol
  21. Newer Z will be fine for now. I guess the government assume newer cars have better emissions control despite bigger engines emitting high amount of pollutants
  22. The summon feature outside of EU seems to work fine. Apparently some people in US are using it. Thats great that they support the car 3 plus years after. Its important for customer retention. As opposed to saying 'end of life' just get an upgrade. Will be interested to know how it is post CPU upgrade.
  23. Im in I.T too, so im all for tech in the right places and within reason. Hence im not completely opposed to Electric cars but they have their flaws. Its just technology for the sake of being edgy and cool. The summon feature was probably thought about by some teenager 30 years ago. Someone just thought lets do it now the car can read traffic lights and signs as well as detect covert pedestrians. Technology gives people the license to do dangerous things like this. Being in the US its probably a 1 hour cross county lines journey he/she slept through.
  24. Death of the town center? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/cars/article-8830815/Birminghams-Clean-Air-Zone-live-1-June-2021.html
  25. Very dangerous combo rear wheel and bad weather. It probably aquaplaned changing lanes. Could be an uneven bit of road. In the dry there would probably be no story here as the car tends to skip on stock suspension and twitch but regain itself. Hope they are okay and fortunately others managed to stop in time. They shouldn't lose faith as its not a common occurrence with the 370s
