  1. A possible STi version with 300hp. Hmmm
  2. The longer they leave it the more likely they will change any original ideas they had. It may mean petrol hybrid opf filters and more gadgets. "Traditional" talk from Uchida is talk No doubt Nissan could make an electric performance car that would do 0-60 in 3 seconds flat to keep up with the competition. Im just wondering if the market would have shifted by then Electric performance right now is in the 4 door family car arena. Any delays just increases the likelihood of a cancellation for a purely petrol car.... 2021 is a better timing than 2023....when most manufacturers would be looking more towards hybrid assisted or lower capacity turboed engines I know Porsche are in no hurry but cant help but think we have 9 years to go.....on new pure ice vehicles
  3. Not necessarily. By the time it comes out in 2023 lots of people would probably have moved on altogether. Some sticking to what they have Suddenly the 370 isnt such a bad car anymore. All overpriced on the used market or lemons for sale.
  4. https://www.caradvice.com.au/878311/nissan-400z-delayed-to-2023-report/ "2023" claim of it being pushed back. Initial hype will be long dead by then..... Taken from Auto Express. No source
  5. beat me to it. But thats what we want.... 2022 exceeds the Nissan Next programme. Its possible due to lower production rates and covid 19 measures. 2021 hopefully will be the year every business sees a recovery. Lots of revelations regarding Covid not being as dramatic as first thought..... should speed up return of business operations. Let's see An end to end LED night light/brake light would be good. Those lights look like they should be on the Qashqai
  6. lol no names man, no names! Time to kick the ball forward
  7. They dont want to promise any dates. Many countries are going through recession. The Nissan Next projects are mostly scheduled for next year when they hope things will return to normal Lol I wouldn't worry about quotes, hes only going in on you as you lot weren't exactly light footed in threads regarding a new Z. As the youngsters would say. Most of the time Savage. And another member went full kamikaze resulting to petty insults. Water under the bridge now. Looking forward. People still have a right to discuss whether hopeful or doubtful and share opinions! I can pull up threads from 2017-2019 all that would do is wind people up and cause more arguments. Then ill have members thinking "this guy again"
  8. Not sure what all the secrecy is about. Nissan are starting to think they're something special.
  9. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/heres-nissans-boss-future-gt-r-and-z "Traditional" is about all I got from this article
  10. All fixed, time will tell. Sanded contact points on wheel/discs and disc checked for evenness with machinery. It was uneven wear and dtv. Did all 5 wheels and discs. Took 2 hrs. Nice guy and lots of stories from his world of motorsport while you wait Will take time to bed in so will see how we go. Thanks Andy!
  11. I saw it cut open it may have been on this forum. A huge amount of filtering and meshes. In America some people cut it open and cut some of it away lol. It is typically conservative Nissan again. Meanwhile NA Porsches were waking up the neighbourhood in 2015. I hope they can work on that for the new car or supply manufacturer approved exhausts and bodykits directly through Nissan Parts if not an Approved reseller
  12. yep, and in a way Japanese engineers encourage it somewhat so theres potential for example with the Supra
  13. BMW, Audi and co have been selling approved aftermarket parts. Not sure why its taken so long for Japanese companies lol. Besides the stock exhaust is from HKS on the 370 nismo so why not allow certain HKS parts under warranty etc Approved bodykits should also be included in the product list
  14. I emailed the specialist Andy recommended he sent an email just waiting to set a date to drive up to Cambridge. Hes even done some work with dealers apparently. So we shall see!
  15. what causes that? heat, potholes, wear and tear from road surfaces and driving conditions?
  16. sometimes its better to use a specialist might give him a buzz. As I dont fancy paying another £1000. Im hearing a flange could be £500 on one side anyway
  17. Fitment error? According to these numbers on the diagram1,3,2,4? Or torque settings? Whats number 8? is that to see if the flange is not straight? Flange could be it or bearings. If its the bearing that has play would there be other side effects like tramlining or pulling to one side?
  18. If depreciation is a worry get a 59 plate for between 10-13k. I dont think theyll drop below that range due to the 350s.
  19. https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/toyota-supra-upgrade-to-fend-off-nissan-400z-125472 Toyota not worried about Nissan announcement and plan to update Supra yearly in other markets. The 2021 in US is coming with over 400hp and tweaked suspension. Followed by a Manual. Releasing GRMN version in 2 years time using next Gen M3 engine (twin turbo S58) apparently with 500hp. Need more info from Nissan regarding the GT let alone any Nismo version. Maybe they are waiting till October/November which around one year from expected release. With a full reveal early next year
  20. lol dont let that put you off the waiting time is the killer but you got Torqen and co who can source the parts but then theres duties to pay. Its got 4 seats and is good compromise. I had to wait 8 weeks for my exhaust on the 370 my mirror is taking 3 months lol as I dont want to use Ebay. Its doable. Test drive one but extended so you can check out the Electric steering and comfort etc. Besides you might decide a few visual mods are your limit so waiting a few weeks is ok
