The TTRS - got that a few months ago. I think around may or june this year, @Jah_Happy got his Z, so I reached out to a few Nissan dealerships. They all wanted minimum $15k ADM.
So one day in June, I was bored and decided to go check out the TTRS at a local dealership. It had a clean one owner...
@wilorichie ah yeah, saw your garage pic. Great rides.
I joined these forums with the intent to get a Z to have alongside my MKV but ended up going with something else for the Supra’s garage mate.
Still hope to have a Z one day… if they ever become reasonably priced.
Looks like it’s a completely different steering wheel since it has a carbon grip - but I’m guessing it must be an aftermarket core since I think the Zs have a unique steering wheel from the rest of Nissans lineup.
Well guys, when I joined the forum over a year ago my goal was to buy a Z in 2023 to sit beside the Supra. Unfortunately I could not find one at a decent price around me so I decided to get another car/engine that was on my wishlist - an Audi TT-RS.
The color was not my first choice but it’s...
Yeah none in my area are selling at a reasonable price so I decided to put the money I was saving towards a different car.
Still hope to get a Z second hand one day.
Congrats and nice ride @therumblewagon! Coincidentally I just watched the Everyday Driver comparison between the N and the new CTR and I was really impressed with the N. Great color choice too.
On topic: Currently dailying the 2015 GLA45. Supra only when I drive solo - basically Fridays only...
I purchased the wheel and paddle shifters from a vendor on the MKV forums (A90shop) but seems just about every vendor over there offers the same type and customization. I bet many Z vendors will do the same.
All of the buttons are factory - I had to take apart the stock buttons/trim and stock...
Having done it on the Supra, I probably will… if I ever get my hands on a Z. Not difficult to do at all with proper tools and nice way to customize the wheel how you want it. But not a fan of the 1/2 cut wheel design.
Good for you champ. Guess the rest of us that expected Nissan to honor the MSRP price are stupid and poor and can’t afford cars.
And who the fuck openly brags about paying over MSRP for a Z or any car for that matter? “Hey guys look at me - I have so much money to burn I’ll pay whatever they...
Yeah, having had it for a few days now it’s definitely a FWD bias car for sure. And honestly its build quality is kind of laughable for a Benz - it’s entry level so expected but jumping into my buddies’ fully loaded 22 GLE is like night and day.
The 4 Cylinder however is impressive for sure...
New to me daily beater/kid hauler. Life circumstances changed (in laws can no longer watch/transport our kids) and it was no longer feasible to have a 2 door car…. No way in hell I was giving up the Supra so was looking for something older and AWD and 4 cylinder. Was looking for a MK7 golf and...
To be fair to Honda and IMO, the FK8 was the peak in performance for the CTR. Really what else could they do? The FK8 was perfect (or so I hear since I haven’t driven one) for a FWD track car, so where do you go from there?
New one is still great performance wise on the track and for those...
Yeah I agree with Thomas’ thoughts at the end - you replace the Contis and put PS4S on the FK8 and I think it’s going to be just as fast around a track as the new one.
Not just Altimas. Take a look at the wrecked Supras thread on the sister forum - an LSD didn’t save any of those guys from losing control… or from other idiot drivers (RIP Mimosa’s build… that one I just feel bad about).
An LSD is better for taking corners on tracks - when taking a corner fast, all of the weight is transferred to the outer wheel resulting in the inner wheel losing traction, with an LSD torque is redistributed to the outer wheel with the most traction and power is reduced to the inner wheel which...
Since I just saw it happen, rolling coal. Was trailing a new Miata with its top down on the commute home and some big ass lifted truck that merges onto the toll road decides he’s gonna be a badass and overtakes the Miata and then blasts him with smoke.
I’m all for people doing whatever they...
