nixy Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 on my way home from work i passed a GTR on my usual route near Elvington - presumably he'd come from there where he'd probably thrashed it down the runway! It was grey and I have to say I nearly missed it! It had absolutely no road presence as it passed! It may have been down to the colour - maybe if it had been white or even red??? Quote
Martin W Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 no road presence???? Agree - no road presence Quote
nixy Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 i think if i'd been behind it, if it had been filling up at the petrol station, then yes definitely. But it passed me almost un-noticed and I AM a nosey bitch! Mind you, i was thinking about the chocolate i'd just bought........ but seriously i'm not joking - but like I said, the colour looks really dull! Quote
zedproud Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Hi Nixy,the GTR you saw belongs to my daughter's boss,and he uses it for his everyday commute to work on the airfield business park.He says i can have a drive so will be taking him up on the offer very soon. Quote
nixy Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 tell him to get a respray! Or maybe if he takes me for a drive to change my opinion..................... Quote
zedproud Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I agree with you Nixy it is not a colour i would have chosen.A red GTR passed me on the A64 last week and that also was a really dull shade. Quote
nixy Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 whereabouts in york are you? I'll give you a wave! I wave at everyone! Quote
markie Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I'll give you a wave! I wave at everyone! I second that... she is crazy and just waves constantly like some crazy lady!!! Keep taking the pills love!!! Quote
nixy Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 i'd be careful if i were you - you are in my spare room next weekend remember! Quote
Gaz Walker Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I agree with you Nixy it is not a colour i would have chosen.A red GTR passed me on the A64 last week and that also was a really dull shade. It might have been dirty! Red is really nice on the new GTR Quote
Gilly199 Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 i seen one in edinburgh the other week, we got the pleasure of being behind it for about 5 mins. All i was thinking was "REV IT!!!!!!!, got gods sake man let me HEAR IT" looked mean as hell in black. But on another note i got a look at one of the first 370z books at me work today and they even put pictures of the GTR in that too, milking it or what But dam the 370z has a dire selection of colours. cant wait for the demontrator though, should be infront of me soon Gilly Quote
richt Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 i think if i'd been behind it, if it had been filling up at the petrol station, then yes definitely. But it passed me almost un-noticed and I AM a nosey bitch! Mind you, i was thinking about the chocolate i'd just bought........ but seriously i'm not joking - but like I said, the colour looks really dull! Saw my first today aswell. ** GTR plate. Same one? Looked good, but would have chosen a more interesting colour. Quote
nixy Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 nearly didn't notice the car let alone the plate! Quote
Cara Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 i'd be careful if i were you - you are in my spare room next weekend remember! Ooh what's happening next weekend? Room for a little one? Quote
nixy Posted June 21, 2009 Author Posted June 21, 2009 yeah get yourself over - wine and shopping weekend for the girls! Actually - aren't you getting married next weekend???????? Quote
N1SM0350z Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I have to say I slightly agree, they are large and look awsome but if your not that into cars theres not much about them that reveals what lies beneath (apart from the 4 huge tail pipes ) un like a lambo etc, but I suppose this can be a good thing being stealthy Having said that I always notice them Quote
WoREoD Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Took mine to Nurburg this weekend - I think its fair to say it was noticed everywhere. Even people in French cars were taking photos as cruised the motorways........ Quote

WoREoD Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Clonking's still there - imo its either brake pads rattling, or lsd clonking. When it goe for its 6k service we'll have another go. Got a new one now though, sounds like the top of the offside rear strut moves under extreme stress....... btw - you can four wheel drift it without turning off VDC - especially if it rains!! Quote

Sorry to hear you still have problems. Really should not be happening on a car of this standard. If problems continue let me know as I have a contact at Tochigi. Quote
WoREoD Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 C'mon Nixy, tell me this doesnt have presence...... Z is still fun to drive though! R stands for Awesome! Quote
tony20vt Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 there is a gtr local to me in essex absolutely stunning i agree with the road presence though i just noticed it, but now i see it everyday. Quote
nixy Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 C'mon Nixy, tell me this doesnt have presence...... Z is still fun to drive though! R stands for Awesome! Yeah, you're right - that yellow zed looks awesome! Seriously though, i wasn't putting the car down at all - its an amazing machine and i'd love to see one close up. I would have been all over it like a rash up close - like I said, petrol station, motorway etc awesome but in traffic on a country road I think it was mainly the colour - do they not do it in yellow?????

Sarnie Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 C'mon Nixy, tell me this doesnt have presence...... In my opinion, no. It almost blends into the back ground....... Quote
