  1. just saw a 370Z for £7500 on autotrader with 125,000 miles.......deal of the century or issues galore
  2. the bmw 335 is, my brother has it. Very torquey comes 320 bhp and m performance exhaust. Only available in u.s problem is hes out of warranty and currently spending $9000 on repairs not sure what happened but older siblings tell you stuff on a need to know basis. he says he,ll run it to the ground. Liked his car though. A bit of lag, but nice and tuneable Funny story, he once put it in sport mode sounded amazing...going through the intersection in LA, steps on it as crossing, turbo doesn't kick in till we reach other side of intersection. "I asked ages ago god dammit "
  3. pays to live in the sticks...on the nismo 17...£1245 with commuting and exhaust 8 years no claims clean license on 350z was £800 my first 6 years driving civics, puma and a3 £1500, £1300, £1000, £980, £700, £800, £900, £1245 started driving at 23...zone 5 london high accidents, lots of scam claims, average to high crime rate popular cars - bmw, audi, mercedes
  4. haha what grip, i saw final destination 2 times driving at normal speeds...op get the stickiest tires you can for the wet.....cant scrimp on those. the back kicks out like mad...
  5. £2500 it cost me over 18 months rocker cover both sides pads + discs p2 service really needed timing chain + diff which i skipped banana arms starter motor drop links insurance accident repair £400 rear quarter i got away with not changing tires or banana arms again clutch needed doing..... gearbox linkage was dodgy....driving around town center cant get into second, cures itself after few minutes God knows what would have needed doing next traded for nismo 370z thats gone now tho
  6. mine were good to 10000 miles but i did hop in and spring out
  7. Cool, each to their own though. I wouldnt do it without checking for a traffic cop on the overtaking or middle lane. He might be having a bad day! Live and learn.
  8. did that before and ended up being told off because everyone backed off and i didnt. Also threatened to stick something on me for answering back...Good old days lol....when i used to get followed for ages...intimidation tactics dont work anymore though... I remember my old man being waved on.. But that was in a different country!
  9. pays off when you try something different. maybe they all wanted to drive the usual
  10. I had £1245 with exhaust and commuting on the 370 nismo with 8 years NCB living in zone 5 London...Admiral
  11. I always took the mini humps on two wheels at an angle.
  12. According to PC Perkins it is. If someone is in lane 3 the overtaking lane, you cannot go past him. He needs to move over if traffic is starting to creep up on him. By then someones already up his behind flashing him or tailgaiting. Put it this way if a cop was in lane 3 you wouldnt undertake him would you
  13. drove the Juke, actually a decent car quality wise, can see the massive resemblance to the 370z, especially the newer ones. Good thing they arent cancelling the Z line. Theres reasons to do so ....
  14. I don't think there,ll be any reveal till next year or 2020.....the chief engineer said theres another few years of the GTR also. Concept for z may be revealed in next year or 2020. Release date is probably 3-4 years off. in line with what the chief engineer of gtr mentioned in a different interview regarding next gtr. Hes under pressure to get it right after the 370. Either way if it looks anything like the current Nismo ill be interested... there's no way itll be the same power current competition kills it. I think 3 liter 400 bhp + with engine tuned from q60 would be nice for the nismo. and awd.....the next gtr could be around 650/700bhp based on the r50....i dont think itll affect sales... people looking at GTR want GTR or similar rivals
  15. Get it done! Ill be on the list! 470 BHP Twin Turbo AWD just tune it to 500+
  16. Thats what struck me the size difference between the nismo mk2 and the 350Z. But the 350z had a better seating position for me. More 90s BMW
  17. mk 2 nismo, where the LEDs are a lot of companies are now doing that extra angled front bumper, for a more imposing look. Ford and a few others are doing them. Nismo mk2 looks in general are definitely standoutish. And still up to date. The only people who believe its "long in the tooth", are the youtubers who forgot that Nissan only change their models completely every 10 years on average. Just hope the 400Z will be even better. Racing red stripes arent new, They add 5HP though
  18. still see them as exotic and petrolhead car. Why not only live once!
  19. 2 presses of start button to on position then clutch in and hold start button
  20. do import rev ups have a lower tax than UK rev up?
