  1. Hello and welcome. I do love the Nismo.
  2. Agree and the angle of the pic does make it look like they fill the arches better. I have spacers on mine and they do look better I reckon. The wheels do sit inside the arches a bit too much as standard for me.
  3. I've got PS4 on my 370Z and I've been happy with them, so I'd imagine that the PS4S are even more brilliant. I've been that happy with the PS4 I've just put some on my Mini Cooper S as well! I've turned into a Michelin Pilot Sport fanboy it seems!
  4. Agree and an NA engine can be brilliant for sure. I guess that in my advancing years I have got a little bit lazy though, and I appreciate the benefit of a turbo(especially in a daily driver). I also like the easier tuning options that you have with turbos. As a general rule for me...I like a turbo in a daily, and an NA in an occasional/weekend car.
  5. It still massively appeals to me for sure. I just said 'appealed' because it isn't coming to the UK.
  6. Turbos do spoil you in some ways and I've only had a couple of petrol turbos, but I've had a few turbo diesels as well. Prior to 2002(past my test in 1991) everything I had was NA. I've currently got a NA/petrol turbo/diesel turbo so it is nice to compare them. The great thing about a turbo(petrol or diesel) is that they feel quicker than they actually are. Whereas most of the NA engines I've had you have to flog them to death to get the performance. So the new Z car with its twin turbo engine really appealed to me.
  7. The Roadster is never very well received that's for sure(I do love mine though). I recently purchased a book celebrating 50 years of the Z car...and there wasn't a single mention or photo of any of the Roadsters over the years. Much to my disappointment to be fair!
  8. Hello and welcome. I do love a Roadster. Agree and it has been a great summer to get out and enjoy the sunshine.
  9. I think that the overall design of it is awesome. It is such a shame that it is not coming here for sure.
  10. I doubt I'd pay that either for one to be fair. My Mrs couldn't understand why I was so upset that they weren't coming to the UK...because she said it is not as if you'd buy one new. I said that I would in a few years time though on the used market. So in some ways you can understand Nissan not bothering with the UK market.
  11. Yes and when you look at the interior in detail it is very similar to the 370Z. The key slot/traction control button are exactly the same. The pedals are the same/similar. The air vents/interior door handles/handbrake/central cup holder are all the same. The seat base controls are exactly the same and the seat base shape is also exactly the same. They have done a nice job of making it look more modern though I reckon with all the digital screens etc.
  12. I do wonder if the Roadster is unlikely(great if it is because I love my 370Z Roadster), because Nissan designed both the Coupe/Roadster at the same time with the 370Z. Obviously I could be wrong though, because the 350Z Roadster came to the market quite a bit later than the 350Z Coupe did.
  13. I've turned my direction to this now for sure. Nissan who?! I'm done with the Z brand now they've abandoned the UK...sod them!
  14. Pretty gutted that it isn't coming to Europe and Nissan did that with the S15 when I had my S14a 200SX as well. Apart from the front grill looking a bit bland to my eyes, I do like the rest of it though. The interior looks a bit more modern than the 370Z too, and it looks good.
  15. I really enjoyed the first Dirt Rally game, it was rock hard to play and really unforgiving...but still good fun when you did get it right.
  16. It is the custom exhaust on my 370Z that I also love so much about it. It is arguably a bit childish and probably a bit too show off...but I love it! Yes and I do read that the 350 is more raw/less refined(I've only had a test drive of one and that was in 2006 so I've forget most of it to be fair!) than the 370. I've been reading some old reviews on the 350Z recently and they are all pretty much glowing. It is a really well loved car for sure. The 370Z doesn't seem to get anywhere near as much love as the 350Z did.
  17. I've never sat in or driven a Porsche, but the people that have do say that they are amazing. I do love the way that my 370Z makes me feel though. It is rare and very enjoyable to drive/listen to for me. I really like its character, and the german cars that I've had in the past haven't really offered me that character. I like the fact that the 370Z is a little bit rough around the edges.
  18. That is a stunning upgrade for sure. Enjoy it. A seriously long time with the Z too.
  19. I will admit that I do quite like the heated/cooled seats in my Roadster! I wouldn't say no to a heated steering wheel though, and I've never had a car with that.
  20. I do like the little Z badge near the gearstick. I'm really chuffed that it is being offered with a manual gearbox, and I was worried that Nissan might do a Toyota Supra on us!
