IT IS NOT A RENAULT ENGINE!Dan Cupra R said:The Nissan is alrite, its engine is a renault engine tho, same one they use in a clio v6
Simple as. Its a Nissan engine which Renault borrowed for the Vel Satis V6. As for the Clio's, that is COMPLETELY different. Its 3 litre instead of 3.5 for starters!
Once again Clarkson is wrong! Not that there is anything wrong with Renault engines. They make some of the best engines on the planet now, just look at F1! Still annoys me when people are mis-informed though
Well they are a dealership, say no more.
It is the latest generation of the VQ engine series (VQ35DE if you want the model) - Nissan have been making VQ engines for the last 12ish years. Nissan ranges use this engine as well as Infiniti and also Renault in their Vel Satis.

Agree the traction control isnt amazing. Its not the fact that it cuts in a bit late (I like that feature) its that it cuts in far too serverely and clumbsily (much like the Seat systems - although not that bad!!). Mindue, when it is peeing it down, you thank god for it. I know I would have ended up in some funny places had it not been there

so a Boxster is **** now is it, do you know what pleasure you can actually get from owning a 'drivers' car?

so basically most on this thread just want to go fast in a straight line then, no idea what driving is about?
ditch the traction, put the drive to the right wheels, preferably add enough power to overcome traction & go enjoy your self.
going fast in a straight line is kids play, and it should be left in the nursery for the two year olds.
drivers cars are few & far between & maybe they should only be owned by people that can appreciate the benefits.
I hope you all enjoy your 350bhp scooby's & big turbo FWD cars as much as granddads enjoy their 1.6 MX5's.

most people who drive boxters dont own them for pleasure, but for impressing their neighbours, the rest just couldnt afford a 911
whilst i may partly agree that some owners never drive them as intended, i stand by my comments, & that the Boxster could never be described as '****'!acidstrato said:
really, go & drive one, you may get an idea as to where I'm coming from.
a Boxster S is every bit a match for a standard older 3.4 911 around a track.
Porsche know the Boxster is the more focused car, thats where they went wrong with the cayman, trying to make a more focused car than a 911, but failing to give it enough power to do so, so as not to devalue the '911' badge.
you may want to reverse your last comment, but maybe you know better
well i can let u know ive got my 350z now and its awesome no going back to seat for me. shame tho as the old 130tdi was a good car but the new 1s are just to similar and common! and ill just say also not all about power the chassis is great with traction too lsd as standard and the sound from its is superb as it is a race derived engine!
The last propper car that nissan ever made was the R34 skyline GTR Z-Tune ! Before modern emissions laws killed them off and before renault got there claws firmly into nissan ! At 10 mins in the vid it kicks a 360 challanges ass ! lol !http://videos.streetfire.net/video/cb4b84c7-1e95-41a8-81c8-985901823afc.htm:drool:
