Another thing is that i bet in another 3 to 4 years or when, and if, the Z35 comes out the depreciation in value of the Z34 will bring tons of new people to the forum since our cars will be super affordable at that point and new owners will have tons of questions just like we all did. it will be similar to whats happening to the Z33 right now. it may not be the crowd everyone is looking for but it will certainly bring activity to the forum either way.

edit:

As far as Facebook groups are concerned i would have to agree, they all kind of suck. the only reasonable group iv found is NorthEastVQ. they ask a lot of technical questions and reminds me a lot of the group from this forum.

The problem with our cars becoming affordable is that it attracts people who don't have the money to spend on quality mods. Before you know it the 370z will become just as rice as the 350z.

Still probably one of the best threads I've read, ever.

I used to own a '09 370Z, traded it in on a BMW 335i two years ago, am now thinking about buying an '18 Mustang GT when they become available.

The trifecta!!!!!

Perhaps it is because of people asking why there aren't move relevant threads instead of making relevant threads.

Just sayin'

WAIT TILL SPRING AND SUMMER! Then you will see all sorts of failures and add-ons and of course.......MORE PICTURES.

Right now, it's still snowing in the Northern hemisphere. LOL.

You get my point. It's seasonal. (maybe)

I agree on the activity But WE still have plenty of folks coming on board.

The fact that most of all the basic questions have been asked leads most newbs to simply search.

IF this place was really dying WE wouldn't have an average of 100-200 members and 500-700 guests in here most of the time.

I see that most here are regular low to no posting members as well as the OG crew who we also have had a decline, But thats normal for all car forums as people move on so all in all compared to others we're still all right.

Will see what arrives at the Tokyo auto show later this year and will see another uptick in activity as we include the NEW Z wether it'll be here as an inclusion model brand or on its own site? AK will decide the direction.

Im hoping for good NEWS finally! as the current Z34 has gotten long in the tooth

Our cars are reliable, and every imaginable mod has been long sorted out. How many exhaust, intakes, lowerings and sound systems can you do over?

Most Z people do not track their cars. On our Lotus site, Lotustalk, our cars are prone to niggles and most of us mod for lap times not cars shows. We just had a new model, the 400, out this year. There aren't a lot of sites over here for Lotus. We be pretty busy there.

If/when a new model comes along things will pick up.
