I personally have always liked the look of the z, but if Nissan made a body kit like the one they previewed in Tokyo it would probably sell a lot

[@mk5_3]

In that show they said that the front end specifically can be optioned in the future

[@justanotherghost4589]

I love the standard front end, but I definitely need to see that Tokyo front end as either an option or aftermarket bumper, or maybe even a later facelift lol.

[@logan_nosal458]

That front bumper is the way it should have been. The production front end is good, but the one from Tokyo Auto Salon was much better.

[@-grizzly-4224]

I think this’ll pull a lot of sales for Nissan, especially considering Supra pricing is more expensive, at least in Canada, compared to this.

Supra is 45k here🤥

[@Unseen_rouge]

@@死亡-v1d With a 4 cylinder. But an LSD.

[@sshhddoo9892]

it depends, I think the Nissan is the better one, but the supra is better in everyway besides being a BMW. There is more overhead in the supra, for anyone who is interested in modifying. Most importantly is that the engine is very good for tuning. The block can handle 600hp with the stock turbo just fine and could go past 1000hp with better parts. The twin turbo VR30in the Z, its starts to get dicey if you upgrade the turbo and push it past 600hp. This info is according to the tuners at AMS performance. Despite this, I would choose the Z over the supra probably but in my opinion it's not the better car. I don't think anyone who cares about having the highest numbers on paper will mind paying several thousand extra for much more performance

If the front grill was shorter but wider to fill in the space and the lights were squareish it would be perfect. The split design might not work once number plates are mounted.

We spoke to USA journalist friends who were allowed to drift it and do whatever. They didn't have any problems with the trans. Not sure what's going on with Canada and these Canadian units 🤷‍♂️

[@soapa4279]

SG also found it has the same fuel cutoff issues on the track, apparently since the 350Z. Edit: My point is that it has issues. TSP literally tested hundreds of press cars from other makes, and some are beaten to death and doesn't have these issues.

I’m baffled by how much love this car is getting especially for the engine.

But i think the RedSport needs more love. Althooooough I’m sort of glad they don’t get more love cuz people always trip on my car cuz you never see them.

No manual though, right? That alone makes it worth picking up the Z

[@roboticvenom1935]

And that Q60 handles way worse and is significantly slower and costs more.. In 2017 it was good but quickly because worse then competitors. The Q60/50 red sport has an outdated interior so it doesn't look as good as competition, outdated features(like wireless connectivity), worse performance, and worse handling, and has a much inferior automatic transmission vs competition (it's very old, and slower) and is overpriced that's why it gets slept on. The 49k m240i smokes the q60 red sport, m340i also dogs on it completely, Kia stinger also beats it speed wise and is more practical with a more updated interior (hence it gets better reviews and always wins over the q60/50 in comparison tests), same goes for Audi's competition. Mercedes, not so much they're too bent on using 4 cylinders.

I had an old Elantra years ago with a beta 2 swap and bolt ons and it grinded into 2nd every time. 210k miles on that transmission when I cooked that engine and the grinding never got worse over all those miles. But it’s still disconcerting, if they had to beef up the 1st and 2nd synchros in that “old”transmission to handle the extra torque, it’s gonna mean short transmission life for those who look to the aftermarket for more power.

[@hamie63_m]

[@ryen49]

the vr30 engines makes around 350wtq and 370whp to the ground with an aftermarket exhaust and lower downpipes these figures are closer to 390whp and 400wtq on a stock tune. engine is underrated as we knew from the q50 q60 platforms and current dynos of the new z show the same numbers.

[@zosomoso]

I had a 2006 350, the transmission was exactly the same in that you had to manhandle the stick into second and other gears (but it didn’t grind). I actually always loved that about it. It’s not a forgiving transmission and that’s what made it engaging.

[@chromedelete]

As a 370 owner the 1st to 2nd gear shift still being an issue is glaring to me and kind of throwing me off about the car. After so long something like this experience literally at the beginning of every drive should be addressed no? Car seems like a nice upgrade once aftermarket becomes saturated.

[@roboticvenom1935]

Problem is the supra is the smarter buy. Significantly better engine, way more tuning potential, way better automatic transmission (and likely superior manual trans), lighter, better platform, better handling, better brakes, no horrible fuel cutoff at the track or spirited driving when tank is 50% or below, better built interior, etc. All for similar money If you get the base model Z which is significantly cheaper you get ass brakes, open diff(WTF), super Spartan interior, the exhaust sound is even worse, and speakers are ass If you're upgrading you'd grab a used supra, most likely

The supra literally beats this car, savageese the most technical reviewer and in their review they had both these cars on the TRACK said as much, supra is better overall no question. Of course they're gonna look at the BETTER CAR, you're saying BMW can't build a good sports car haha? The Nissan Z is a sad sports car, it has fuel cut off when you're driving hard/on the track if you're gas tank is 50% of lower, no joke look it up it's embarrassing, this makes the car nearly undrivable in such a condition. We can go by each points, interior, fit and finish, engine, platform, weight, handling, exhaust, it loses on almost all.

@@roboticvenom1935 no, you missed my point, BMW absolutely and objectively makes great cars, but there are also absolutely JDM purists in the car community who will literally only buy Japanese cars, there are also Japanese patriots, just as there are American patriots who only buy Ford, GMC, etc and there are Australians who only buy Holden's I'm not putting that limitation on people at large. BMW can make the best supra ever, but the people I'm talking about will never consider it cause it's not made by Toyota. Elantra n and Veloster n and to a degree even the i30n are all amazing cars and Korea is putting out some great stuff across the board but again, the specific people I'm talking about won't even register it as an option, because type Rs exist Honestly I think they should have put the V8 and drive train from the Lexus LC500 in the new Supra and it would have broader appeal I also take your point, the specific people I'm talking about is a much smaller minority than I'd originally given credit for

To be fair, the F-Type is a Jaguar so it has the same chance to be a classic as the XKR or any other Jaguar. The Nissan Z cars have never been particularly exotic or special, and have usually been fairly close to their Skyline or Infiniti underpinnings AFAIK. Even so, the 240Z, 280Z and so on (Z30 series) are classic cars now. Less so, the 1980's Z31 but I think they are getting to classic car status too. :)

もしグリルが気に入らなかったとしても、アフターマーケットでカスタム品は絶対出てくるから、それ以外が好みなら買いだな

[@WobblePizza]

Feels good to be excited for new manual cars. This, the Supra, and the new 86 are all hot.

[@planbparadise2046]

I somehow still prefer the looks of the 370z

[@bjornironsides6474]

The 370z Nismo is one of the best looking modern Zs for sure. I like it better than this redesign.

[@kenosantos327]

Love the back of the car the more I see it, its so quiet, sounds like my daily corolla 😂

[@tr3prom]

You guys had a perfect opportunity to do grand tour burnout drawing with that drone view 😂

[@pf6797]

Yakub was about to be Ghosn in sixty seconds lmao

[@davidemartorana4708]

I like this car but from the front it looks like something from Roblox lol

[@mcximus]

If the house market price doesn't come down, I'm gonna use my saving to get the new Z.

[@VinoNoNo]

Man there seems to be quite a bit off with this car. I don’t understand how anyone can spend money on this with the transmission issue

[@harrye.512]

One issue with the transmission in a car that has been utterly flogged by every journalist. Hardly a lot off.

[@VinoNoNo]

@@harrye.512 car was revealed over a year ago. Why the hell would Nissan give journalists a car that has an issue? It’s not like it magically teleports from one review to the next without someone from Nissan handling it

[@sage11x]

So the Z has finally completed it’s transformation into a full Japanese muscle car: a great engine looking for a great chassis. Numb steering, rubbery transmission, vague front end, floaty suspension, crap brakes. Yep. It’s a GT/muscle car. Thank god for Subaru/Toyota and Mazda for keeping the dream alive for budget sports car enthusiasts.

It took me a little time to warm up to the Supra, but the manual Supra, to me at least, it light years ahead of this in style. The only real complaint I ever heard about the Supra, other then no manual until now, was the wind buffeting issue, and of course its a BMW. But if I am going to spend the money, I would stretch a little more and definitely go Supra over this. I would also be concerned with the fact Nissan has struggled mightily in resent years and be concerned with corners being cut. The fact that more than one reviewer has now mentioned the issues with grinding in second gear is a major concern in my eyes

[@chrisbrook1234]

I'm so happy that Nissan even spent the money to update their manual transmission to offer it here, but if second gear is already as crunchy as it is in my 170,000km 2014 Civic 5-speed that never had a manual transmission fluid change prior to my ownership... not a good sign.

[@bb5242]

Dude I had a 30 year old BMW E30 model that never had a manual trans oil change, probably ever. It's clearly not that critical.

[@craiganderson8569]

The front end stock is a deal breaker. It's awful. It makes a huge difference with the bar going across. The Z seems to be way overpriced. For the upper trims you can get a 3.0 Supra. The Supra is faster, looks better and is a BMW (controversial, but for the same money, I'll take a BMW over a Nissan).

[@IRaoulDuke]

The square grill is kinda underwhelming

[@craiganderson8569]

@@IRaoulDuke Agreed. Retro is not an excuse for lazy design.

[@dennylafoss]

Loved the simple look of the 350 and i had 2 of them. The 370z I thought looked good but not as good as the 350. But this new z I think looks ugly from every possible angle

[@tizodd6]

You prefer the look of the 350 over the 370? AND you don't even like the profile or rear of the new Z? I know it's all totally subjective but dude...your taste is weird. Objectively 😛

[@dennylafoss]

@@tizodd6 I like the simple design of the 350. The 370 had these sharp lines and head and tail lights were ugly

[@tizodd6]

@@dennylafoss It's cool. I'm really just messing with you dude. I know we all have different tastes. But serious question though: You don't even think the new Z looks nice from the side? I'm not a fan of the front grille or headlights, but I love that profile.

[@dennylafoss]

@@tizodd6 I think the only good view is the one from directly behind it. I think that chrome piece under the roof ruins the entire side view of the car.

[@roboticvenom1935]

@@dennylafoss then black it out silly. 350z looks like shit in comparison, especially the rear end.. 99% of people would go, "oh that 350z car looks way worse on the rear end," it was never known for being a very attractive car full stop

[@moneymikz]

Throttle House complained about the second gear grinding too, hopefully it’s just that press car and not a systemic issue

That call from "Nissan Canada" with Carlos Ghosn as the contact photo ... HA!

[@IrocZIV]

Really like that split grill on the Fairlady version. If it came with that, I think I'd like it more than the Supra, but then if the Supra had a better nose, I'd like it more too.
