  1. It probably should be Nismo facelift only in limited number as I cant see them selling bucketloads here in UK. Id even say very limited edition like 100 cars in EU In US maybe a bit more as they seem more "enthusiastic" about it going by SEMA and Z1 cars. They could offer GT and Nismo trims there. They barely sell 50 370z in the whole of europe per month for the figures I saw couple of months ago compared to 150 in US. Seems to be falling overall. Have to question whether 200 cars per month in US and EU is worth making those changes for. Unless they do a final limited edition and call it a day. Say 250 cars worldwide. With a revised front bumper, engine swap and glossier interior (alcantara dash, painted or wrapped center console). Will they sell thats the thing. It will probably cost a bit to make those changes
  2. Hope so, If it does happen Id be interested to see how much it would be and if so can maybe trade up as Ive never had a turbo car before. Been all NA.
  3. tbh its probably more me trying to understand people. We are all aging and trying to learn and stay positive in these times thats all really.

    Still a good tyre the Michelins. At least the ride will be comfortable and secure
  5. Fair point, this is possible but it rarely happens because it descends into shooting practice to see who can kill the discussion the fastest. To the others who wish to discuss, Im 90% sure they too think its all hogwash but they dont go about it in such a ferocious or mocking manner. They actually discuss it then let the thread die. From time to time I might go back and read the points on old threads so everyone is entitled to their opinion it wouldnt be the same without opinions. Not meaning to come across as a dude with a nasty chip, thats just my opinion after noticing a pattern of constant negativity. Its been a good 4 years Ive found the forum very informative and useful. It might be time to call it a day. They can then collate all the threads into one place and label it useless gossip by GTE. At least it livened this section up a bit. Sorry if it offended I did my bit to try bring some interesting discussions...Yes a lot of them were future Z threads or replies to, infiniti, alpine, bmw etc prospective future cars or analysing every car on the market claiming I was going to purchase...which I decided to go back to a Z..but I think its kind of run its course now. I will be asking the mods to sign me out I'm done And no I wont be reregistering as ForzaHorizonEra  No hard feelings eh...
  6. Masks - Previously used by Chinese tourists and hip hop dancers. Now used by a few. The same way people think I look stupid wearing one with filter inserts, Is the same way I think people attitudes of if I catch it I catch it is stupid and yes keep breathing in that air. Only needs someone to sneeze and/or talk and their germs stay airborne for sometime. Never thought Id see the day when the youth would wear it and start taking this virus seriously. But Ive seen one or two and actually keeping distance after one guaranteed he didnt have it a week ago. Death toll is now 1600. What happens next is extension beyond easter if the numbers of deaths dont slow as well as new infections rate. Hopefully death toll peak wont be more than the 5000 they predicted and they get a slow down of new infections. Also need testing kits in April to be available like Germany. NHS staff first obviously.
  7. calm down guy. No need to let it run away.
  8. Then the Yaris GR is coming with 1.6 3 Cylinder 257 BHP AWD and probably weighing 1100kG. 5.5 seconds and an unfortunate top speed of 102 MPH apparently and 30k plus Meanwhile GR86 will be 250-260hp. Subaru want to put more power in their version though
  9. Yes very good. Wish theyd make another one just as good with more modern content covering the 350 and 370 design and manufacturing process. Watched it a while back like last year summer, will have another watch. 4 weeks of doing not much might as well..
  10. GR86 features 252 HP Turbo 4 Cylinder 2.4 Flat Four. Looks interesting Subaru will unveil their version later https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/next-toyota-gt86-confirmed-2021-leaked-presentation
  11. fair enough Enough hasnt been done....335 deaths now approaching 500. 3 weeks late for any type of lockdown.... some countries closed airports, shops and schools etc after 20 cases confirmed. Britain waited for 5000 cases and 335 deaths to take intermediate action Working according to statistics instead of common sense. We know the numbers are going up daily. As long as 1 piece of exercise is allowed in the park at 2 meters distance its all good.
  12. Boris the clueless. Exercise, shopping etc Lol because people will listen....my MDs mate wife works in govt and they already chaired meetings saying the death toll reaches 500 there,ll be no more advisories The British way. Prioritize liberties over the health of the people Minimize dictatorship as much as possible Keep calm and carry on When @*!# hits the fan by which its too late rush through legislation enforcing what should have been enforced 3 weeks ago Clothes shops open...why not whose forcing them shut...no one lol......Weakkk..... In a nuclear apocalypse one form of exercise in your underground bunker Nip to wet market catch a case of covid 79
  13. An 18 year old has apparently died. People need to start taking this seriously.
  14. 18 year boy apparently died on the weekend. Still seeing people outside socializing, driving with windows down and roof down. Just not bothered. Anybody could be carrying the virus. I told my mom to stay away its just too risky. No they will never take it seriously you need enforcement. Just this week Nigeria went from normal screening of incoming to shutting down schools across the country. So they are literally just starting their own lockdown. Next step is the pressure to close down airports and stop all international travel. Army on the streets restricting movement isn't a big deal has been done before will be done again. Close to 5 reported cases all in hospital. Italian guy recovered but some british and french are still in hospital. People complain about NHS the situation there is dire. At least there are action plans. A period of a month to three months to send the numbers down and keep an eye on whats happening. My cousins are at home isolating over there.....I heard the UK will move to stage 4 of Boris plan when deaths reach a certain number. Looks a shambles, with so few cases reported in my home country people are already regretting not taking necessary action as far back as January.... Wish Britain had a more serious attitude towards this. Jump in cases and deaths is inevitable with free movement and continued socializing at all age groups. Not sure what the aim is for the UK....a lot of people will get the virus and come out unscaved but some wont. I heard we arent the type of country to have army on the streets and reduce movements. Okay lets see what happens in that case.... Well done to half the population who have heeded the advice and stayed indoors using mainly delivery if available. Piers Morgan is right. A holiday in Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia isnt what people should be doing right now.
  15. One complaint and that number plate is gone....Unlike the US where people have won cases against the state for number plates like "IAMGOD"
  16. Some keywords in the class statement for the trademark Steering wheels for Automobiles, Automobiles and their parts and fittings, Automobiles, Electric vehicles and their parts and fittings, Fuel cell vehicles and their parts and fittings, AC motors or DC motors for land vehicles [not including "their parts" Electrically-assisted land vehicles, Wagons, Trucks, Vans, Sport utility vehicles, Motor buses, Recreational vehicles, Sports cars,
  17. this happened to an old guy in Harrow. He had two packs. One got snatched. from his trolley. Sad times
  18. http://www.cipo.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/trdmrks/srch/viewTrademark.html?id=2017351-00&lang=eng&status=OK&fileNumber=2017351&extension=00&startingDocumentIndexOnPage=1 No need to make this official. The extra coverage in the class statement means all options on the table including electrification. Rockstar have done a similar thing with their website domain for GTA 6. Doesn't guarantee anything or imply. Just means they are looking into different arenas/possibilities and revising their brand trademarks. No ones saying there will be a new car or GTA 6.
  19. Nissan have filed new trademarks in Canada for their Official logo and a new retro style Z Badge. Possibly will follow suit for Japan and other countries sooner or later. Under the class & statement it mentions Electrically Assisted. so obviously covering themselves should it ever be. Other words used are sport utility vehicle and buses..Hybrid and electric system are mentioned also. Interesting. Filed on the 12th of March to cover the new technical areas it could go I guess http://www.cipo.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/trdmrks/srch/viewTrademark.html?id=2017351-00&lang=eng&status=OK&fileNumber=2017351&extension=00&startingDocumentIndexOnPage=1 https://www.autoblog.com/2020/03/19/nissan-z-car-logo-trademark/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAABfi0GZJLXUbdarlHmsbAs1XfasiTDSFuQ_D9txv5go0KmAFNCwmR2lmuTfaYup-CP4xoyUljt5ifO8xUbIjWNHKTQqyHEJIT6jEG6kKJAlfvrmIZq_VoesAWQ7XAhRe8LW83-cpWGIvelyxZSPueddndXjRGkJxSCPw6KQfqeOw https://www.motor1.com/news/405136/new-nissan-z-logos/ https://www.motortrend.com/news/2021-nissan-z-badging-revealed-trademark-info/
  20. my mate signed up to a down low cash and carry. I told him to send me the details so i can sign up. Its 30 miles away but worth it if this happens again in our lifetime. You order online and collect. Its all rationed to one item per customer. There are many like this around. When it kicks off in the city youll have to get out of town and find these places. Helped my brothers get hold of some stuff. Its also worth a trek if you know you ordered online and gauranteed to get the goods. 25 miles might be extreme, but by the time youve been to 3 tescos and 4 Sainsbury's youre already pi**ed off and covering 25 miles anyway and finding nothing Costco are also low on things....A lady said out loud theyve got tissue as costco had none and my mates girlfriend had to wait in the car with the shopping ....i wont be suprised if they came out and all the stuff was gone
  21. Iran apparently released 85,000 prisoners On a side note just got word from the MD that we are shutting down office for 2 weeks from tomorrow.. We will be working from home. Also on twitter londoners are calling for lockdown and restriction of movements but Downing Street have been defiant saying there will be no restrictions on movement in and out of London or within London. People have responded calling the PM "Boris the Clueless". All interesting. But I rather put faith in the people to do the right thing as Ive already seen less people on the streets and only coming out during early mornings to buy groceries. In my local area less people at rush hour mainly people driving back from work. But trains are less crowded. I think people will naturally stay away as businesses close down aside from Food retail and food shops. We shall see. Things can change overnight. They are refusing to shut down the TFL. I think that will restrict a lot of people if they needed to. Services may be reduced as less passengers are willing to travel hmm Dont wait for Boris......Self isolate like the Corona Beers have been doing
  22. I'm across from Asda people are beeping and going crazy and lots of traffic. Dont wait, government are going on measurements and numbers.. Also this was from one of the rags It comes as Britain’s supermarket chains are also launching action to help elderly and vulnerable customers, while ramping up operations to meet surging demand for home deliveries. Sainsbury’s became the latest group to offer priority home delivery slots to elderly and vulnerable customers, as well as exclusive shopping hours. Its supermarkets will only open to these two groups for the first hour of trading on Thursday, chief executive Mike Coupe said, but will open for an hour longer so other shoppers do not miss out. Sainsbury’s Local convenience stores will not offer the service.
  23. "Interesting that a virus achieves in 3 months what all the climate activists have been trying to do for years.!" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-51944780 Reduce Global CO2....
