GranTurismoEra

There is a thread open on this in "other cars" section

turned out to be close Render was close enough. Now lets see if the specs will be competitive with the proposed final edition Supra and BMW M4 comp. Doubt it though

Nismoooo....

I might stay in Gloss chester 😆 its 1.5 hours for me. From there to Abergavenny is around an hour. Might save me

Lol EV1...someone paid them to go away. Nissan lol....Shocking...

Yeah all clear. Leave approved. Good to go! 😎 🐉

Gotta watch for sheep running into the road. No fencing on some areas

Cool. Should be good. Hopefully ill have the exhaust fitted. Its arrived! Are you going direct? or staying nearby overnight?

Mercedes did work with Nissan for some years so maybe they get a pass.

Speaking of service my 17 had the services at 1000, 3000, 10,000 and i sold it. Second one had 6 services by 42,000 when i sold it. I did a p3 at dealer on it took 4 hours. Including full inspection and greasing all the door hinges and changing coolant etc Brake fluid was already done from abbey when discs were changed. My current one has had 9 services and did miss one in 2018. It was within 10,000 miles. All services done within 10,000. Recently it had 3 services including p3 (51000) from 41,000 to current mileage 53000. It will have an oil and oil filter along with air filter change before Winter. Then a tranny oil change and diff oil by 61,000 early next year if ive still got it. £500. Tranny oil is 9 liters being auto. Nissan recommend service every 9000 miles. But an oil change at is recommended at least every 6000. Then brake fluid, coolant every 30,000. Sparks every 4-5 years checked during service for debris build up. Brake fluid some people recommend it should be changed more frequently like 18 months. Diff and Tranny is debatable .... for me im doing mine at 60k and if i was keeping it again at 100k.....Its not cheap and just as pricey than a p3 service being auto. So if you did it with a p3 youre looking at near £1000. Same as a 911 lol Unless you know a guy...

Yeah China have over 20 large EV companies and startups. Im not familiar with mainland but im sure their infrastructure isn't perfect. Companies like BYD, Geely shift quite a few cars locally. You got Polestar and SAIC One thing he mentioned about some companies rebranding to start selling EVs. Sad thing is Nissan had the Leaf out over 14 years ago. They didnt capitalise and allowed Tesla to get majority the market share with Model S and X. The Leaf should have had a redesign and Infiniti could have had some electric models with the whole brand electrified in 2016 with the help of Renault. Now theyre having money issues. They just about made their main models hybrid and the electric SUV Ariya has some defects "black screen" and arrives close to 50k 14 years after. Laziness cost them. Other car manufacturers Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Ford, Jaguar seem to have made moves to overtake Nissan and eat into their market further. Porsche and Lotus are next to enter. It would be very hard to make headway in a sea of competition. Theyll have to go back to selling at 30-40k

Chances are it most likely sold close to asking price which is what it cost brand new around £40,000. Unless it was a mate that bought it lol

They say it will go into production in 2024. It definitely wont be cheap. Im assuming it will be direct competitor to Boxster and Cyberster/MGC Roadster. This is how I see it playing out in the next few years Potential Sports EV Boxster/Cayman - £60,000 - £74,000 MGC - £50,000-£60,000 Nyobolt - £70,000 Nissan Max Out Roadster - £55,000 Lexus LFA successor with Toyota developed gearbox- £95,000 Tesla Roadster - £120,000 Audi TT Successor - £50,000+ MX5 Plug in Hybrid - £35,000

My brother drove from Carlisle to London about 5 hours i think on single tank in 350Z and still had a bit left. Theres a chance they might have decent price

Listening to an MG podcast one guy spent £28.80 on charging to get 100 miles range. Instavolt public charger 👀....Thats Z money 😮 💰💰

Lool ill remember its not wacky races or cannonball run. I think if it was a run over a few days ie Europe I would probably have a walkie talkie. Ill try stick with the group 😂. If i can get the Saturday and Sunday off can make it. Ideally would be nice to have had it on the following weekend

As time goes on the tech will get better. No more waiting 30 minutes for 70% range. Whats this about paying road tax if the cars over £40,000 😂. £10 per year for some models right now. Meanwhile my brothers 0.9L Toyota IQ is free.

Its no longer on there. Sold. Someone was willing to pay over new money for 3 year old Nismo. The timing was right when i bought the first. This guy paid £17,000 more than what my 3 month old cost lol

2.5 hours and 148 miles to the starting point. Thats a 6AM start like North Wales and Peak District. Ill have a look as working that weekend. What time you reckon will return to Abergavenny? If its 2-3pm can get back to London for 6pm and still make it to work 🤣

Lucky guys. Coming from up North. Had a compliment from the Ferrari guy about the simplicity and design of the 370. In exchange I did learn some things yesterday about the Ferraris and Carbon Fiber Brakes!
