  1. Yes from the games back then it was the 350z. Now with Need for Speed Heat, The Crew, Forza Horizon the 370 is in those games. I remember playing the Crew few years ago and I had a 800 HP 370Z lol....so some kids know already more than adults what car it is. As they hardly see them in real life, Its a nice suprise when one pulls up more so than the GTR
  2. Check Engine Light from Doing Donuts. But hey cross America trip very good content!
  3. Recently sold a 350Z 2004 DE with 37,000 miles for £6500...Thats a rare price. But you should get a 50-60k miler at that price tbh. More or less youd get a 60-80k miler for that price in summer
  4. Theres a video circulating of people infected with the virus spitting in lifts in China and rubbing it in on the buttons and doors. Better purchase 100x black latex gloves for public use and take some sanitizer with you. Hopefully it doesn't catch on here. Crazy
  5. They hold value while under 40 years. After that the depreciation begins. She looks very young though...borderline illegal
  6. Yes a middle mileage DE, prices have started creeping up as summers approaching
  7. This is not news, Not sure if any of you have seen this 18 year old girl on youtube. Now on 264,000 Subs. I know they are ten a penny on Youtube. . We know in US they have a large following when it comes to Zed. Good business tactic if you ask me. Get the guy to follow you with the camera everywhere, strip half naked do some drifts and bobs your uncle . I havent watched her in depth so cant testify to her knowing about cars or not.......Just pops up everytime you search 350Z or 370Z as thats whats trending. My colleague sent me the link and I saw the name and realized Id seen that channel before. Each to their own I guess. Whatever puts food on your family....I mean table!
  8. 8-10 Cars usually. Usually other car clubs come along, ragging it around the car park and that attracts security to push people into the mall. Might come along next month. A bit far for me tbh
  9. 350 HR is more refined but a higher Road Tax similar to the 370Z. I liked the DE because it had lots of Torque although nowadays it may struggle against the typical 300HP hatchback. I got eaten alive by a remapped GTi. The DE has a nice acceleration. The HR is revvier and revs higher, delivers power smoother and is slightly quicker. REV up is known for consuming oil, which apparently is fixable and came with slightly more power Personally Id go for the HR. But if budget was tight Id settle for DE as they are cheaper to buy but also come with their own issues being older. Some are starting to rust now. Although my brothers one he sold was in good condition as spent most of its life in a garage. Another advantage over the 370Z is that the 350Z doesn't attract as much attention and the dimensions of the car are perfect. Not oversized and bulky like the 370Z. Retains a muscular sports car look. The 370Z someone said reminds them of a poor mans Ferrari 599 . Ill take that as I'm a big fan of the Ferrari 250 GTO, 599 and 612 Sessanta.
  10. Religion? That's what its become. Reminds me of a certain character. It'll come to me eventually
  11. Easier said than done .... I agree with everything on the list bar 10 , and also agricultural emissions will be harder to reduce especially in developing countries due to cost of equipment. 5 is a grey area. Maybe after 10-15 years they can start clamping down on sale of new ICE vehicles and Hybrids
  12. I couldn't stand her at one stage, but I kind of respect the message. Shes amassing a huge following now. I have some reading to do on the topic. But from the sounds of it she wants the world to conform to Net zero emissions. Its not going to be easy to tell Asia and Africa to fall in line. Europe will eventually be the leader on climate change and maybe others will follow suit. Maybe I'm reading this all wrong, in simplistic terms reducing emissions and planting more trees will help right? https://www.wri.org/blog/2019/09/what-does-net-zero-emissions-mean-6-common-questions-answered Fifteen countries have now adopted net-zero targets — Bhutan, Costa Rica, Denmark, Fiji, Finland, France, Iceland, Japan, the Marshall Islands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Uruguay. An updated list of announcements can be found here. While there are new announcements every month, the percentage of global emissions covered by some form of a net-zero target still hovers around 5%. Some of these targets are in law, and some are in other policy documents. Some net-zero targets have been incorporated directly into countries' long-term, low-emissions development strategies, while other countries have adopted net-zero targets before submitting a long-term strategy.
  13. What are your opinions on her? I think she is being used to push the agenda of climate change but I also respect what she is trying to achieve or should I say what her parents are trying to achieve. She could just be the Avatar. People have told her to go back to school and how she has missed out on a child hood etc. Shes aiming for Net Zero Emissions by 2040 that date seems to change with the wind. One MEP pointed out that without the whole world in unison, Europe alone wont have an impact on the overall planet in terms of climate change. I don't completely agree but I think Africa and Asia will have to be on board as well. Also there is the issue of people below poverty lines going green which is a luxury afforded to those who can afford it. I've been following the ban on rogue/Unregulated/Unlicensed taxis and motorbikes which do most of the pollution in Nigeria in certain cities. This has put millions out of work. Although they have sought alternatives, the vast majority cannot afford to buy an electric moped or electric vehicle? I also think there is an element of Messiah complex. The great hope and savior (Captain Planet going to bring pollution down to zero) , her followers and parents are loving every minute of it. Don't be suprised if they start making cartoons with her in a costume soon. Shes managed to get many sponsorships and trademark deals done since she has begun. She will be around for a long while I am sure. This is the only career that matters to her it seems.
  14. I think the Nismo Backbox will fit as I dont envisage any differences in the Mid Pipe Area just the backbox section. The rest should be the same as the standard car. They may protrude a little. I think the hangers will be in the same location
  15. Thats a shame, Will you be at Ace Cafe?
  16. Worth the pain in the arms.....No one washes and waxes better than the owner.
  17. The bane of online gaming. The last racing game I bothered with was The Crew on PS4. 370 Zed with 800 HP
  18. The only GT Sport that was remotely decent was the one on PS3. The forced online incarnation is more like a half game or demo. Gran Turismo 7 should debut with Playstation 5 they are claiming 240 FPS but not necessarily 8K. I'll be honest I never bothered after GT5. Didnt bother with 6 as they messed up the visuals with some silly filter Games are just not the same as they used to be. I still remember GT 1- 5. GT1 because it was the first of its kind and all GT games have been educational tbh. Detail was very good. But then Forza and co came along and GT need to step up The Z4 M Supercharged and GTR Black Edition 850 HP were my favourites in GT5 game
  19. Theres nothing saying one set of average speed cameras cant get your speed. Despite that not being the primary purpose. I was bricking it too as I did an overtake immediately after one of the average speed cameras. I think I was beyond visual range though. I was told by a lawyer once that beyond Band C there are other Bands they can use to severely punish offenders. Upper Limit in a 40 is 66. But for example if you were doing 90 in a 40 or 100 in a 40. They could increase the fine and the ban length. I read somewhere some 17 year old got a 12 month ban doing 90mph in a 30 mph zone. The guy caught doing 175 MPH in the GTR years ago got Jail apparently. So it depends on severity and conditions etc
  20. Then GTR to complete the set. After that we can start saving the planet with Electric. Not before trying some convertibles first and some luxury GT coupes.
  21. When are we expected to arrive here. Its going to be mayhem I want to avoid the rush getting in lol
  22. Logitech G29 well Logitechs have been good wheels as well. You really need the full seat which is about £150 to go with it, space allowing.
  23. I can see a bit of both in the design of the 240. Some of their cars had some cool functions, well thats what I got from watching some of the old adverts on Youtube. Shame the direction they have gone of late. On a lighter note how are you finding the 370? Any changes so far?
  24. Welcome Sir, is it true that in those days, people thought Datsun had no chance of success in the UK?
