One or two of us here. Others are members on the OC. Didn't someone the other day ask if there were any other 02's?

Did it have the ugliest wheels imaginable?

I have a document somewhere from Nissan which list all the changes but not in any great detail. It's more alone the lines of we change this this this and this.

Might take me a while to find.

313PS = 309BHP.

IMO dynos are a waste of time and money unless you are seriously modifying the engine for performance gains. Dyno the car and take the figure, regardless of what it is, as your starting point and start your mods. Then return to the same dyno machine for a new figure. At least that way the conditions should be a close to the same as possible.

Can I have a drum roll please?

What you have there is a 375 Clam alarm system.

Google is your friend.

yea it's not just Chinese cars that I'd stay away from. I would never buy a small hatch. It may just be me but I just don't trust a car with a very short front end from the driver to the nose. I've seen rear ended 206's that then ploughed into the vehicle in front. Not much left to ID the car.

 

Might be worth something down the track to a collector.

Maybe in a 1000 years.

Basically it's a tarted up version of a mass-produced car made to be an imitation of a great race car. A collector would be interested in the race car itself not this thing.

Love the sound of the fuel pump before starting. It always makes me think this car is begging to be driving fast.

May have an Ings for sale soon, maybe

 

Gives me the impression of a BMW Z4 [edit] but looks good.

[edit] got distracted and forgot to finish the sentence.

You'd be surprised what Nissan charge.

standard lip i think just finishes off the back nicely. again not a big nismo fan unless you have the full kit.

+ 1 on the stock lip but not on the Nismo.

I've never seen a wing I like including the Nismo. Lines are all wrong. Big wings make the car look cheap imo.

And here in Ireland since 06/07

To be fair, my gallardo was costing me £100 a week in petrol alone. But once I got in it, money was a distant memory.........If i was paying £100 a week to drive a @*!# heap I'd sell it asap.

 

As long as the zed provides the enjoyment you'd expect, keep it. If, all you think about,when driving it, is mpg, tax, insurance, depreciation etc then you need to get rid

+1 I'm on €105 since last Thursday and don't give a @*!#.

I've sure Ming can provide lots on info on successfully growing "veg" at home.

That reminds me of a BMW M whatever.

Have you considered the volkswagen sirocco? I know it's not out yet but worth a look and is due soon. It's a golf underneath but the golf is just so common. In white it looks crap but in a sort of liquid red I just stared at it.

I say get down to the dealer and test it yourself.

 

I'm not being seen dead in one of those

 

if it's based on a Panda it doesnt bode well

Fair enough. I wouldn't be seen behind the wheel of a hyundai coupe but that's just me.

A mates girlfriend just got hers. She loves it. He said it's a great city car and not bad for longer journeys. Surprisingly nippy.

We had a good look round one in Geneva before moving on to the Abarth. Looked very impressive and for the price you get loads compared to the mini.

I expect the 500 to be very popular.

I say get down to the dealer and test it yourself.

ah just read that it rolled into the audi.

 

It was my first thought though.

Yea but my first thought was 3 cars belonging to same bloke set alight – suspicious. Should have been a copper. Assume guilt until the appeal says other wise.

I’m sooo jealous. I’ve been thinking about this and a nismo exhaust for ages but keep spending the cash elsewhere.

ah just read that it rolled into the audi.

They gotta be around £250 a pair, look great but too much for me.

I would say about £400-500 plus shipping.

Sucks buuuut it was only his cars set alight, as far as I can tell, so there's a lot to this story that probably will never be told.

When you got that much money you don't need sense. Buy it if you like it. I would.

I seem to recall Nissan had developed special paint for the GTR that could withstand stone chips.

 

Wrong forum GC,this should be in the jokes section.

I'd dig out the info but I really cant be assed with the GTR now as imports of the car are at €125k here. Win the lottery and I'll refocus my interest.

Back on topic, some of the after pics don't look much better then the before. All the marks in the clear coat are gone but the reflection is very wavey.
