  1. Lol just go man, ill probably check it out next year maybe.
  2. Been saying this for years. Too many inexperienced drivers causing chaos on the roads. No additional practical though which defeats the idea 😂. The car needs to be around 370+ HP per tonne. This could be 550hp in the lighter supercars and even less than 370hp in a Caterham or Ariel Atom. Revenue collection or common sense? https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/consumer-news/363722/supercar-driving-licences-why-you-could-soon-need-special-licence-drive

  4. 75k door to door. Facelift GTR money! A GTR 17 facelift sold for 56k in my area few weeks back....Im sure can get this bodykit for a few grand as well as the recaro seats directly from Nismo. Cheapest standard car is around £31,000. A Yellow base I saw. Cheapest Nismos were £59,000. You can pick up an 16/17 R8 v10 spyder or plus for 68k. Or 65k private sale in middle of winter. Who would by a Nismo for 75k shipped...Crazy.
  5. Ngl I like this design. Could care less about method of propulsion.
  6. Transmission lets it down. Should have gone with ZF and tuned it. Bet thats what the stop sale and delays are about. Aside from issues with factory.
  7. I wish I had boss babe money. Id get a 2020 GTR or better yet a T Spec import. Speaking of GTR it was spanking Porsches and Audis at one point. They needed improved gearbox and more power to compensate. Also has done very well in Super GT racing with record wins. Reputation is not for nothing. Production finishes in October this year Not to mention a very nice road presence about it. Even though the 350Z, 370 and 370Z Nismo are all better looking imo. GTR has popularity with 12 year old boys and is somewhat a guy magnet. NGL
  8. Good stuff. Not bad roads on that side of M25 either.
  9. Now or never. By the time we all wait these cars will have over £1000 road tax, fuel will be £2.00 due to a 10 year long war in Russia, pay per mile will be active and ULEZ will probably add more cars to list with higher emissions
  10. Another reason the 67 Zeds are being kept pricey. The tax is 190 or so. I definitely want to try other cars first ngl. I think ill arrange some test drives coming days/weeks. Certain costs are given but they vary vastly over an extended period from car to car. The GTR is what it is for costs. I even think its inline with R8 maintenance. Theres a couple in my area.
  11. Based on 8 to 10k Miles a year It would be 1.5 to 2 times what it cost to run the Z at its cheapest. Around £7,000 per year. That one had the brakes done recently so saving £2000 already. Its the bi-annual service that costs and who knows whats due next. When you add all the costs together including £730 tax, insurance its expensive thats why lots of GTR are just sitting for 6 months. If you add fuel, insurance, tax and service Zed was pretty much near 5k to run per year. GTR will be 50% more i reckon if a major service plus brakes needed to be done for example thats like 2.5 to 3k alone. It is what it is. Next time you see me I might be "sports" EV lol or back in a Z
  12. Good price? Trade is 30-36k though http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202401125496183

  14. Found this on an EV forum discussing Chinese EV tariffs. https://uk.motor1.com/news/715061/ferrari-porsche-most-profitable-auto-makers/
  15. Yes sir for Nismo thats what its meant to be. or seen a few normal Zeds around 40k used and near new with hardly any miles on Exporter sites. In Japan used cars sitting at £33k and ST under 40k. Just customs eh. Few nice ones wish we had Russian rules. No VAT, No duties lol Doesn't matter though, these guys will have no choice but to lower prices the longer they sit there as more flood the market. It seems not many people are busting a gut to own one in Japan. A few coming up for sale in both US and Japan.

  17. Florida? Smoking hot rocks. At $65,000 its still a stretch. Its going in Japan for more. 15 to 17 GTR can be got in UK for that. Crazy market. Markups need to be outlawed.
