  1. 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.
  2. "they still sell these ancient items" 21 plate will most likely be the last 370s new in the uk we shall see
  3. 400Z Article from Interview with Ivan Espinosa No Electric Z yet Full reveal coming soon according to Ivan Espinosa. The new Z will be in production from September next year for a November 2021 release.
  4. https://insideevs.com/reviews/434648/nissan-ariya-specs-price-range/ more up to date info
  5. 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
  6. not many blue zeds about, any plans for it?
  7. second friday of every month. Happened last week.
  8. 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
  9. Thought it was the tunnel at Col Del Turini. Stopping in that would be dangerous lol
  10. 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.
  11. highway pro pilot assist and Self park amongst the features. Also sporting the new trademark logo. 2x Dual 12 inch screens Integrated controls in faux wood similar to Honda E. E Pedal and all the usual FWD under 300 hp Range up to 310 miles Front Wheel Drive 215 HP 233 mile 63 kwh (5.9 seconds) Front Wheel Drive 239 HP 310 mile 87kwh (5.9 seconds) AWD All Wheel 275 HP 211 miles 63 kwh AWD All Wheel 302 HP 285 miles 87 kwh AWD 389 HP/443ft lbs of Torque (5 seconds Est) 285 miles 130 kw DC charge Price from $40,000 or £37,000 to £50,000 with grant Release date is late 2021 unfortunately
  12. In London also congrats mate. You can wrap it then repaint further down the line or try machine polish might help a bit
  13. welcome to the forum. Great jump from the Citreon.
  14. Because Summer. Best time to sell. @Embalm-a was looking to buy all about preference I guess. Mark 2 was always my choice. If I had to buy again Id probably still get the Mark 2 in Black unless youre planning to keep it for a very long time like 5 to 10 years. Get a mk1 for 17k. A stock one.
  15. True, one can be had for £17,000 but not stock. They will probably bottom out at 14-16k They come up now and again. Its the HR 350 thats not going down much. I prefer the design of the mark 2 more modern and will age better. Mark 1 is too Tokyo Drift. Regarding price had a look again. Owners may be asking a lot but itll be hard to find any Nismo cheap unless CAT N or CAT S or high mileage. I reckon Mark 1 owners are pricing around 16-19k If an owner is selling a mk2 at an extra grand over the mark 1 now. Its not unreasonable. In 5 to 10 years maybe it will be justified to sell a mark 1 at a higher price than a mark 2 due to rarity Average Nismo gets 100 views per day on Autotrader and 200 views per day on Ebay. Mostly people just browsing. But whos buying lol
  16. how? Dealers sell Nismos with that mileage and year for £21,000. Private sale is usually £3000 above We Buy Any Car trade in which would be £17000. Same price as some MK1 Nismos
  17. Like app says great price tbh. Mileage and year good price. Maybe a bit more with a one year warranty thrown in. It would be more of a bargain if brakes and tires are fresh as well and recently serviced Mines on Autotrader now.
  18. Its actually a name in South Africa I think lol balotellis ex gf i think
  19. That tax will soon be transferred onto the most expensive Electric cars when the windfall starts reducing due to Electric upgrades. Have an 8 week lockdown every year while offering £3000-£6000 in scrappage grants depending on age or emissions of scrap car. Greenhouse gases reduced. Climate change delayed. Bobs your brother
  20. ££££ not cheap. Id say the most important bits are the red trims. Something like front bumper, bonnet, mirrors and fenders can cost as much as £1500 at a place like Topaz in London. There will be places that do it cheaper though as its just a wrap. Id shop around. I heard that they use a machine to make the cuttings. I dont see how it different than wrapping. I visited a place in London. They wanted £800 for bonnet and front bumper as well as fenders. I didnt bother with my current car though as ive already got some chips which ill get to later
  21. Nice ZED dude. Yep ive gone on 2-3 hr spirited runs using as little as 30 miles of petrol. Have you thought about ppf on the front bumper and side skirts.
  22. the 2019 micra has DAB crazy stuff lol looks a good option
  23. First things first why not look into the holders and see if its compatible before anything else. Then order it in. Also I think this set up is more or less the future in newer cars https://workshoptwelve.com/nissan-370z/ Also looks like this kit is for cars with no navigation so need to convert your AC controls to that of a base Zed. A lot of work involved https://support.workshoptwelve.com/portal/kb/articles/370z-navigation-climate-control-swap Currently i get Sat Nav traffic updates etc. With the tablet you need data or to piggyback of your phone etc. Not sure theres a way around that. Data sim unlimited everything maybe....Check the mods he made to allow home button to be accessible as well as to be able to turn it off etc below. Youve probably seen all this but still..
  24. yeah if I had to get rid of the 370Z and Honda. GTi or Golf R would be ideal. but knowing me id end up with the TTS
