Without a subscription you would still need a pay monthly sim so the device can be communicated with. Hardwired for power. Cant think of anything specific just beware of low quality products. I myself got Tracker.co.uk to install mine. £350 for 12 months at the time. VHF trackdr old school.

I must have been lucky as I pulled out of one that BMW were selling and found a 4 month old ex demo with 3k miles for 26k was meant to be 30k. A new one one at that price is how much they should be selling for now as theyre end of life practically.

Has been tried and tested. I think injectors and some other bits were the weak points. Maybe that why its the expected go to for an engine but id say 90% guaranteed. Its ready, with some tweaks for emissions and efficiency could be potent. Id like the final models late in development to add a hybrid battery which would help with acceleration and driving around town before going fully Electric. If they go fully Electric im not sure they be willing to do what they did with the leaf race car. Adding 2 x 120kw batteries with 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. I mean going by the kia niro 64kw costs £37,000. It may be cheaper in 5 years we shall see. Then its not a Z anymore. Just a Nissan Leaf in a bodykit

yeah in comparison to what? A Posha that costs £47,000 at the base for the 4 cylinder. Journalists need to get real when making comparisons. Comparing a rideable Zebra Donkey to a Full fledged race horse isnt a thing. The R and D is just on a different level. We accept that lol

My brother thinks 911 platform is the basis for all Porsche cars? He forgets that Boxster and Cayman outsell the 911. Without those two cars would a 911 exist? Maybe, maybe not. Yes he had the 2015 Carrera NA, 911 Turbo S for a month and the latest 911 Carrera S not many options for a month. All I keep hearing is that those cars arent 911. Lol...Seems like a snobbish argument between Porsche fans to be had. Hes very snobbish about Caymans, Boxsters and GT4/GTS when i mentioned i like them as a non porsche fan....saying its not a 911...am I missing something here....or are they different brands lol Regarding modding....hes 100% not a modder and likes everything standard not even a remap. Maybe the mod scene would view these kinds of car people as bought not built brigade lol...which is essentially what makes up majority of z33/z34 crowd. Even if all they did was add an exhaust or go faster stickers its still built lol Porsche sales are impressive and im sure they arent content with these numbers either.

no specs or information have been released. Just CGI shadow.

I live in North West London. I see more panameras and macans than Caymans, 911 and Boxsters. SUVs are a lot here. Sports cars are here too but less than SUVs. Im in the city lots of youngsters drive SUVs to carry their mates around. I dont think its limited to families with 2.5 kids
-
They frankly dont outsell Germans anywhere. Japanese also love european cars. Based purely on that. These cars shouldn't exist. Probably explains Mazda, Hyundai and Kia stance on performance cars. The Stinger might soon be Electric. Thank goodness for Nissan, Honda and Toyota. The vanity project continues. @ebized i cant see much tech in the new Z apart from POSSIBLE valvetronic, LSD and start/stop for emissions. The tech will remain in their SUVs etc. Whatever that may be in 16 months. If people want game changer just chuck up an extra £20-£40,000 for the privilege and then they can leave Z shortcomings to the fanboys to deal with? lol Hoping for a lighter car to make up for lack of gimmicks and gizmondos
-
well its not really a suggestion but i did see a 2015 370 roadster for sale. Had me scratching my head lol

Development of a new car on a new platform from the ground up of a GTR according to a former shareholder is close to a billion dollars. Thats why the R36 is on hold until 2023 at least until the have recovered losses from the last 2 years. Similar costs could be applied to a totally new Zed. The car will be at least £45,000 as the Supra is around £52,000. Design wise it will look slimmer and less bulky which was the complaint with the 370...... people wanted it to return to the original. A simpler design than the Supra with less busy curves and plastic bodykit A 4 pot Cayman will still be more expensive with barely any options. They are bringing back more 6 cylinder options at the very least will be £65,000. Competition is around the £50,000 mark and this car will undercut all of them. If UK doesnt buy America and Canadian market will make up for it. Why wouldn't young people buy a retro looking car. The designer said the car isnt completely retro looking. Its still a modern car with some retro looking cues.. Lots of young people are buying the Honda E despite its poor range. Nissan probably wont make £250 million from sales. Thats what the volume sales of SUVS and Trucks are for. So people need to go buy SUVs and fund the vanity projects involving sports cars for people who dont need more than 2 seats. Sports cars have their uses for the brand like Marketing capabilities. People see the 370 Nismo and think that cant be a Nissan. Is that a Nissan, says it is. Didnt know they make cars that look like that. Might visit later on..etc...Ends up buying an SUV...which in turn funds the existence of a 12 year old Z and another one. The uk management are definitely interested in bringing it to the uk having spoken to a GTR Salesman. We just need joe public on board or they might skip EU altogether. Which is fine as maybe some dealers will import them from Japan.

wow, pretty much a twin turbo excluding labour costs. Glwts

Same could be said about the Supra with just over 2800 sold in US. Toyota decided they will end Production in 2025 with a GRMN version using the M3/M4 Engine apparently. (3600 cars sold in 2019 US and EU). The car came out mid 2019. Projected sales for 2020 are around 4,000+ US and EU combined accounting for decreased interest. 2021 car gets a power hike in US to 410hp when dynoed by indies. This particular Z will only be in Production for 4-5 Years. Its not a long term model. Its also not expected to do large volume sales. 3600 Supras not including Asia, Middle East etc is good for todays market. Considering expense and engine capacity. 3 liters compared to the successful mx5 2.0 and 1.5. Also Only £250 million has been invested according to insiders so its not a totally new car until Electrification. The money from sales of SUVS and Electric vehicles somewhere around 66,000 annually per SUV I guess thats where the money comes from to keep pumping out the goodies. Oh and EU is only buying a few 100 supras here and there. US market is the bulk of sales. A chance for Nissan to get in on that market. They want to attract younger buyers and improve their image. Thats why they are pushing ahead with this car. Price is expected to be lower than the Supra. Also its one guys project literally. Whos been advocating since 2016 several times rejected, several business cases. The compromise is a heavy facelift or nothing. Nissan need a halo car to generate renewed interest in the brand Critical reception should be good judging by US forums. They are eager. The A to Z teaser got over 1.4 million views with most comments mentioning the Z. Nissan are giving themselves maximum time on a tried and tested platform, but ill look into why they are revealing models 15 months from release.

"they still sell these ancient items" 21 plate will most likely be the last 370s new in the uk we shall see

mannn, maybe things have changed with the civic and civic estate but i wouldn't recommend anything short of a soft Rover 75 or jaguar type suspension to anyone with back or hip problems. Depends what level of comfort is doable Its not just about motorways. Theres also town and city roads and the awful judder you feel within your bones when you smack a couple of craters mated together
-
not many blue zeds about, any plans for it?
-
second friday of every month. Happened last week.
-
4 hours then maybe not a Civic then. Suspension is pretty average. Mercedes is good shout. Maybe its just me but I find 4 door sedans to be the most comfortable over coupes. Suppose it depends. Avoid sports suspensions lol
-
Thought it was the tunnel at Col Del Turini. Stopping in that would be dangerous lol
-
Or can get a petrol Civic which will give around 50mpg which my CRZ does at the moment. £20 takes you 175 to 180 miles I think.
