  1. I just got a scrape on my front bumper last night on the Honda street parked. So good job. Sounds like it wasn't up to £100 then?!
  2. Dont think their quality filtered through to that car. No where near a Honda Jazz . everyone probably likes the old Nissan not this new era Nissan. A new rear wheel Silvia 4 Cylinder Turbo would be cool, but cant see it
  3. I read some vlog where some couple went and got a week of dry weather 20+ degrees. It was dead in the middle of summer. How lucky for some
  4. you'd be suprised a lot of Zeds on the used market have personalised plates. Owners tend to leave them on there. Like mine and my brothers Zeds both came with personalized plates. Nice colour for sure. I'm somewhat colour blind, so I assumed in the first picture it was pearlescent black. Saw this car at Brighton last year.
  5. Just wanted to gauge how many active members no longer drive zeds, gtr or any Nissan or are thinking of selling up and moving on. Nissan posted losses of $238 million as well as the CEO having meeting with top managers from main dealers in US. Where they apparently were brutally honest about their aging product line and how they are seen as the bargain basement brand nowadays. The loss of interest may not wake them up, but its interesting to know how many people have just simply lost interest in Nissan or their cars and are prepared not to look back till new vehicles hit the showroom for consideration. Their potential line up for 2020 is an electric SUV (ariya), new X Trail and facelift Qashqai. Vehicles that may soften the blow of their losses. Suing Ghosn $90 million wont bring back all the losses. New products might
  6. Is it best to avoid going after May and before September? Due to how busy it can get? I know that some people just go along to john o groats and come back to take the mid highlands from Tongue back down to Inverness instead of sticking to the coast because of how busy it gets in peak times
  7. Just get an up to date aftermarket one that fits! I had one from 2003. No Audio and very basic looking maps.
  8. Not enough doors for that market ..Unless its for a single male from middle America
  9. What a car combined with the roads to drive it in the highlands. Welcome and enjoy!
  10. Sounds about right for a premium vehicle. With Porsche they know they are at top of the mid range and top end sports car market. They have no qualms charging these amounts. Their market will happily pay it. Im sure servicing a boxster is no cheaper. Maybe a couple quid off the major service if that. Its easy to assume that the 911 Carrera S would have been classed as a near supercar if it came out 10 years ago. The performance is up there. Even the naturally aspirated 3.8 carrera pdk claims 4.5 seconds. The fact that rival cars claiming the same time cant keep up to 70mph means its actually faster in reality. Gotta pay to play . Depending on the Cayman model if an S or GTS PDK of recent years its probably quicker than the Nismo and lighter by a good 150kg
  11. Which model Cayman was it? I heard they are bringing back 6 cylinders to both Boxster and Cayman. Thats the new line. I'm sure they could have thrown in a discount or something for the upcoming service and push through the sale. Porsche know someone will come and buy it regardless. Again all comes down to whether an equivalent Cayman is 3 4 times the car the zed is. Yes its lighter, its quicker by a second and more above 60. Is the cost justified and is it worth £1000 for a service like my brother paid for his carrera before his got written off recently. Personal choice. Saying that I went in the Carrera S 2019 911 444 BHP. Impressive car. 3.7 Seconds, aggressive. Exhaust was quiet, lots of turbo and spooling noises. This model didnt have reverse camera, auto dip mirrors and a host of other options. The cost im sure was still £100,000+. No where near as good as his original 2015 3.8 Carrera PDK with a natural engine
  12. Nissan prefer to offer those events to youtubers instead.... I agree regarding their customer care as Ive been told. Well it has to be with all the money being paid.
  13. Last time got there at 12 up till around 2PM. Ended up staying till about 3 I think
  14. As an alternative, Short tails were enough for me. They sound really good thats how the car should have come from the factory. I got AAM Resonated. Nowadays you can get them for £500 from Tarmac or Torqen.
  15. Good vids, overpowered by the music. I know theres always one. But inspired me to go on a few road trips myself! Cant beat drone footage and Scotland scenery
  16. lool i wonder how it compares design wise to the new Alpine S. A bit dearer at £62,000 though. You could by a standard Alpine, get new coilovers and hit litchfields for the 292 hp for a lot less
  17. Unfortunately they have used cheap plastics on the door mirror cover. Also the bodykit trim pieces are not the best finish and there are some fake vents.
  18. The future is green. Thats a warning sign right there
  19. New Zed is best forgotten about. Best enjoy what you got. That isnt coming anytime soon.
  20. someone in US already modded it to have a manual gearbox on YouTube
  21. All hail USA!! First the Q60 Engine swap now this much bigger project. Good luck to him. Has to be done because Nissan are useless. Imagine a DCT mated to the VR30DDTT. SMH
  22. My brother has his for sale on ebay with 37,000 miles 2004 at around £7500. Was garaged a lot so no rust. DE road tax should be around £325 and going up each year by £10 I think. Id be tempted if I didnt already have a 370Z. I definitely want a later HR after im done with the Nismo Yes they do draw attention from boy racers and police. Just dont rise to it. My Nismo got people breaking necks. Ive got tints so its okay.
