I think the Nismo Backbox will fit as I dont envisage any differences in the Mid Pipe Area just the backbox section. The rest should be the same as the standard car. They may protrude a little. I think the hangers will be in the same location

Whats the best racing game of all time?
GranTurismoEra replied to auzyfozy's topic in Off Topic Discussion
The bane of online gaming. The last racing game I bothered with was The Crew on PS4. 370 Zed with 800 HP -

The only GT Sport that was remotely decent was the one on PS3. The forced online incarnation is more like a half game or demo. Gran Turismo 7 should debut with Playstation 5 they are claiming 240 FPS but not necessarily 8K. I'll be honest I never bothered after GT5. Didnt bother with 6 as they messed up the visuals with some silly filter Games are just not the same as they used to be. I still remember GT 1- 5. GT1 because it was the first of its kind and all GT games have been educational tbh. Detail was very good. But then Forza and co came along and GT need to step up The Z4 M Supercharged and GTR Black Edition 850 HP were my favourites in GT5 game -
Theres nothing saying one set of average speed cameras cant get your speed. Despite that not being the primary purpose. I was bricking it too as I did an overtake immediately after one of the average speed cameras. I think I was beyond visual range though. I was told by a lawyer once that beyond Band C there are other Bands they can use to severely punish offenders. Upper Limit in a 40 is 66. But for example if you were doing 90 in a 40 or 100 in a 40. They could increase the fine and the ban length. I read somewhere some 17 year old got a 12 month ban doing 90mph in a 30 mph zone. The guy caught doing 175 MPH in the GTR years ago got Jail apparently. So it depends on severity and conditions etc

If you replacing your 350z, what would you get next?
GranTurismoEra replied to shueb.c's topic in Other Cars
Then GTR to complete the set. After that we can start saving the planet with Electric. Not before trying some convertibles first and some luxury GT coupes. -
When are we expected to arrive here. Its going to be mayhem I want to avoid the rush getting in lol

Logitech G29 well Logitechs have been good wheels as well. You really need the full seat which is about £150 to go with it, space allowing. -
I can see a bit of both in the design of the 240. Some of their cars had some cool functions, well thats what I got from watching some of the old adverts on Youtube. Shame the direction they have gone of late. On a lighter note how are you finding the 370? Any changes so far?

Welcome Sir, is it true that in those days, people thought Datsun had no chance of success in the UK?

"Reveal Hidden Contents" No need to be subtle. You can put your foot down to the redline! Also GTR depreciation is kind of crazy. Good choice on R8. Try something new. When the warranty runs out. You renew for another 12 months? For the same 5k you were about to spend on the GTR . 24 Months is a good amount of time for ownership -

Learn the language as fast as possible. Makes life a lot easier. Its possible within a few months to pick up a lot. Writing can come later. Even in my own country they speak English. But its not regular queens English. So people look at you funny and ask why are you speaking Englands English to us Theres a place near Wangan I think, where they have huge meets. A parking lot below a web of bridges. Usually see a lot of instagram pictures from there -

In America I can understand if the car is in New York and you're based in Nevada and there are no other cars available in the network. I suppose its all down to convenience. if the car is a lemon I hope they pick up the phone. Just be careful with distance buying or long distance deposits. 6 people are coming to view. Great put me down as the 7th, I'm not leaving a deposit. I wouldn't encourage it. Best to see the car make sure nothing untoward is going on. Cheap tires, mismatched paint, missing documents, service book not stamped and a whole host of amateur mistakes more likely to happen when you're not present. Dont be suprised when you turn up and all those 6 cancelled or didnt show up -

Fair enough, after a while the jittery hard ride wears thin. Especially over these roads we pay £32 billion for. I'm tempted to try something like Lexus in the future......Im open to trying new cars. But after my bad experience of Germans in the past. Best left for now. My neighbour gasped at the cost of replacing the brakes on the Nismo, then I said to him didnt you just spend close to £1200 on EGR and DPF and new Tires? On top of that he still got juddering to sort out. Germans have their plus points though -

Big risk. Especially when they threaten to not refund it after rejecting 3 -5 test drives or losing out on sales on the saturday. "subject to test drive" couldnt give a valid reason. Refund rejected due to car being prepped, serviced, MOT etc -

I had a guy offer me £15,000 for my 2017 Nismo at the time worth at least £24,000 with less the 9k miles. I laughed and hung up. The guy called back asking why I dropped the phone. I said he was trying to knock off £9,000 without seeing the car. I asked him did you read the advert? All I got was stuttering so I hung up again. Eventually I sold to we buy any car for £2000 more. Another guy called claiming he would have bought it, but he was going on holiday. Uh huh lol As soon as he says £10,000 its not rude to tell him, "no speak english" and hang up -

GranTurismoEra replied to auzyfozy's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Although I don't play racing games anymore. I would say Gran Turismo and more recently Forza Horizon on Xbox. If you are a hardcore sim player. Assetto Corsa on PC Race Driver Grid was good for crash realism on console which was limited thats about it Gran Turismo 1-5 were the best racing games on any console. That was a different era. PS1 to PS3. Now their games are biased towards online play which some have no interest in.
