Why is the forum dead?

1. Nissan ain't done shyt new to talk about.

2. As grumpy old guy stated. Questions have been answered.

3. This has become more of a social site so people pop in and out and comment, more than actually participate.

4. Most of the hardcore enthusiasts bought other cars.

5. All the posers bought mustangs and BMW's.

6. There are a lot of used car rear window Louvre people posting threads here now and none of the OG's are not wanting to read it.

7. Lastly, the only news moving people is Z35 news.

now its too late to sell a 370 at a decent price.

But with all honesty my Z still never stop to amuse other people and I still find it as one of the most beautiful sports cars ever designed. I'll probably keep mine and my son will inherit it.

I think this forum has become as much as an archive as it is a forum. there is so much information on this site, as others have said, im still catching up on 3-5 years worth of info just browsing through all the topics and posts. I may not post much but i would like to think im active on the forum. if a topic comes up im knowledgeable about ill share what i know but most likely the topic has already been covered and they just need to be redirected to the information.

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.

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!!!!!
