    Wouldn't of thought its the gearing as both use an almost identical double clutch system. Odd. I don't think he means the method of changing gears but the actual gearing. Ratio's Fair enough but at nearly 300kg's heavier and less power to beat the 0-60 time by 0.5 seconds is sensational if its true. I look forward to TG getting one for an opinion outside of Nissan. Its in the latest TG mag but I think only subscribers can get their hands on it so far. I mean on the telly, where we can see and hear it go round their track Oh aye, I betting it looks a damn sight better moving than it does in the pics. Yep I'm more interested in the direct comparisons of it and other cars. Nissan have apparently pitched it against the 911 Turbo but the 0-60 time has propelled into £170k car as even he murci 0-60 is 3.6 This is either a truely phenomenal car or Nissan are stretching the truth. i'd say its somewhere in between.

    You can do all that on the G. People have tried to claim for new clutches but have been refused as they can tell that they have been ragging the car. My sat nav gives me specific my GPS co-ordinates at any given time so its all possible. Have any other colours been announced yet? That silver is sooo dull....I'd love to see a black one Will this do? http://press.nissan-global.com/NISSANGT ... or_028.jpg Looks a little bit like a dark charcoal grey but its better than the silver

    The figures are still looking wrong to me: GTR Weight 1750 kg's BHP 473 0-60 3.5 G Weight 1430 kg BHP 520 0-60 4.0 Think Nissan are telling a big fib somewhere.........

  8. I didn't know Nissan made a Blackberry cradle for the zed?
  9. With a 300 bhp RWD going into winter, I'd disagree.
  10. Ah right.... Is your mileage really les than 11k??
  11. Yeah, how come you have Nismo skirts but nothing else?
  12. Was it you then? Nope, but it does sound like my driving
  13. But arent the Stones that come on the Zed designed for that? Bet you ignored them though as we all do No i didn't ,I had bridgstones on both of my zed and replaced them with bridestones too. i never had a problem EVER with the bridgestones. i only bought MPS's when i move to 19's
  14. I was sure I posted on this topic? Absolute losers those people are........
  15. Youve just told everyone! Wheres my gun.............. 1234 is the code Plus i have another security device, not that i'm paranoid or anything Is it a Shotgun? Or a flamethrower? Id have both if i was you. Oh..and err thanks for the code, i'll be down in abit. You can come down whenever you want mate, but the car ain't here and isn't kept here at all. It gets locked up.
  16. I don't know why but I just have something against Falken's. Never driven a car with them on but have seen a few sets and I just think they look funny tread and sidewall wise. You dont trust a tyre because it just looks funny? Good technical anwer Sarnie you look funny but id still employ you as my tea boy at work! I don't have a technical answer so I ain't gonna make one up Liam's Z has them and someone else did too. When looking at the photo's I could tell from a distance that they were Falkens. For some reason they have distinctive kind of design that I don't like. Plus I'm suspicious of anything cheap No i understand. each to there own. You did recommend the toyos though?? Aint they a cheap brand?? The Falkens i had didnt seem that bad, definately an improvement from the ones it came with anyway, the performance tailed off abit quiick but i do alot of miles. The Toyos are meant to have a soft compound so might be good over winter. Goodyear f1's are meant to be good over the winter periods too, not sure if they do the right sizes or even the price of them but worth a look. Try Camskill and tyretraders. there usually pretty decent prices. I would class Toyo's as cheapish too, kinda middle ground between the cheap @*!# and the brand names. I would never have bought either for any performance car I own. I will always strive to have the best for my car. I may be totally wrong here but, I reckon a lot of people who buy a cheapish set of tyres (Toyo/falkens) are so chuffed to have saved a couple of hundred quid that they kid themselves into thinking that the tyres are fantastic if they even stay on the road. People like Michelin and Pirelli haven't dominated the market for no reason. Their tyres are better, thats what you pay for. Cars like the 911 and gallardo have tyres designed for them, you would be a fool to ignore that. Again, this comes down to a budget thing. If people had the choice of any tyre and someone else was paying would anyone choose Toyo's? ......

  19. But they wouldn't even know that they need to put a code in to anything at all. Half a mile or so down the road and the car dies. Anyone wants my car or keys, they can have them, instantly. But they won't get very far
  20. No Not now you've bought them
