480WHP Tuned 2024 Nissan Z Nismo Is WILD | Review & Driving!!

[@shadkowaleski1786]

Had a lot of fun! You put it together really well man🎉

[@SniperKingg14]

clean looking Z, such a beauty

[@thehiatus31]

Thank you! I loved the video and the car! Awesome tune and sound! Finally, a very positive video of Z Nismo. You get it. I am sick down to my stomach with all of these unappreciative KZbinrs criticizing this awesome sports car born in the sea of SUV’s. Forget them! So what, there’s no manual? Z Performance has manual. So what, the interior is similar to 370Z? Can’t see these cool digital displays? I guess they just can’t be pleased. For what it’s worth, their reviews may reduce the price before I lay my hands on one.🤞

[@MaxHPower]

I’m glad you enjoyed!! I loved this comment! Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts!

[@wlcrgt]

I personally couldn't care less about the interior or the fact that it's an old platform, but the lack of manual just kills it for me.

[@sameerkotecha7237]

Great video! The owner had some great input!

[@MaxHPower]

Thank you, means a lot🙏!! And yes he definitely did!!

[@bobsupra9928]

good looking 400Z

I'm a Nissan factory trained technician from the UK, so gutted they're not bringing this here!

[@MaxHPower]

Ahh dang!! I didn’t even realize they aren’t!

[@christopherfuller675]

I’m a Nissan North American manufacturing supervisor I was super excited when they brought this to the factory for employees to test drive

[@Timpala44]

I used to own a 1974 Datsun 260Z. It was IMPOSSIBLE to find parts for back in the 1980's.I bought it for $900.00. The prices of the new Z's are insane. That goes for just about every car these days. I thought about buying one. But, I just can't justify the price.

[@MaxHPower]

A 260Z is awesome! Yeah cars are so expensive nowadays!

[@happypierce2]

Buy a lightly used 370z. Lots of almost no miles cars for 1/2 price of new. Fantastic car to daily.

[@Timpala44]

@@happypierce2 I like the look of the new Z better. So, maybe I'll have to wait a few years for a good used one.

[@SonicTuned]

Love it!

[@MaxHPower]

Thanks!! Looks like you do great work!🔥

[@PikaQPika]

Sounds amazing. Little bit louder than my preference for daily driving reasons but nice!

[@MaxHPower]

I’m glad you like it! Thanks for watching!🙌

[@stevornrichards1380]

I would never daily drive a Nismo

[@Digiphex]

He's right, they are selling for several K under MSRP because the car wasn't what we thought it might be. An M2 you can have full leather, adaptive suspension, 18 way power seats, better tech and stereo, etc, etc.

[@Mrbobcat7]

I agree. I would much rather get a M2 or RS3 for mid-60's if I ever decide to trade in my custom ordered 1320. Now if there was a way to bundle those mods in the payment and still be under warranty...but still not perfect as it lacks decent color options and really should get something with awd for NW Ohio winters.

[@bamabladez]

I've owned 2 maximas so I love Nissans VQ engines. But for 60k+ this is what a Nismo should come as. And nissan has to offer a manual or dual clutch. Beautiful car!

[@lipefim]

"it break loose so easy, especially in second gear" I see it will still be amazing platform for drifting

[@MaxHPower]

It would be a fun drift car!

[@2seep]

I really recommend a borla or magnaflow. I get the v6 rumble on the borla, with just a cat back no downpipes.

[@MaxHPower]

Interesting!! Thanks for the comment!!

[@Cheeseypoofs85]

import owners dont really use those brand exhausts typically. they are way more common on american made cars.

[@forgottenautos8461]

How does the NISMO suspension he put on the car (bought from Nissan) differ from the oem NISMO suspension these cars come with?

[@MaxHPower]

That’s a great question I should have asked myself! I’m assuming it is stiffer and more “performance” rated, but specifically I don’t know! The owner would probably answer if you messaged him via his Instagram though, feel free to do that! Thanks for watching!😁

[@shadkowaleski1786]

The OEM nismo suspension and nismo coils are very similar. The primary difference is the nismo coils allow you to adjust dampening and height. The OEM nismo shocks on here are very stiff, great for track but could be harsh for the daily commuter.

[@SamCarLegion]

VR30 has massive potential with very few mods. Love the Nismo Z. 🎉

[@zebatov]

Nismo is cool if you don’t like proper manual. Glad I waited because I hear they’re doing a manual Nismo.

[@Dellyflizmoz]

Wonderful! Just got my 2024 Nismo a month or so ago. I plan on getting a EcuTek dyno tune and an awe touring exhaust. What’s your thoughts on that? I won’t track my car or anything I just want some extra power and a better sounding exhaust. Will I need a better heat exchanger with these mods?

[@MaxHPower]

Sounds like you’re going to have a lot of fun with it!! Feel free to message the owner with your question, via his Instagram if you’d like! But sounds like a solid plan, it’s a phenomenal car!

[@SonicTuned]

If you are getting it tuned and running an exhaust, I highly recommend doing lower downpipes as well. The lower downpipe to the stock tail pipe is 1.75" and should be replaced together to get the most out of your tune. This car has full downpipes and exhaust and is also ECUTEK tuned.

[@peterbiviano747]

@@SonicTuned I have performance model Z not doing exhaust can I still do stage 1 tune Won’t be tracking car

[@SonicTuned]

@@peterbiviano747yes, sir! My stage 1 tune is meant for bone stock cars. It is about a 70whp increase over stock on 93 at sea level.

[@2seep]

⁠@@peterbiviano747I really recommend the borla exhaust, I have a vr30 with the borla s type and it has the v6 rumble at low rpm’s. It’s by far the best exhaust, and I really recommend the borla attack when it comes out for the z.

[@randomthoughts9463]

Great video! Got my 2018 370Z Nismo brand new, love it for the style. Did some mods, Stillen Gen 3 longtubes, AAM cat deletes and a performance tune above the standard Nismo factory. LOVE IT. I just can't get past the Z front "lego brick" - Boaty Mc Boatface look or lack of junk in the trunk that the 370Z Nismos have. The new Z Nismo, improved a bit on the stock, but I'm not love'n the style. Not to mention the price and most importantly, no M6

[@MaxHPower]

That’s awesome! And yeah the look is very controversial haha. Thanks for the comment!

[@IDontTalkToCops]

Absolutely gorgeous car. Looks like fun to drive too. Congratulations to the owner. Enjoyed watching that. Liked and subbed.

[@Breakinlife007]

Very cool car and i think people are missing that this is easily a daily driver where the GTR is absolutely not great daily. The maintenance costs i eat up are insane, not to mention if you have to replace something serious like a trans etc...

Not true.

[@Cheeseypoofs85]

i still have yet to see one on the road in south central PA... and as for the transmission. with the price tag they put on this car, and sticking with a torque converter, they should have given us a ZF trans

[@LoveRed3000GT]

Wondering if you were to compare it to the original 300zx in terms of road handing and drive comfort.

[@aaronsmathers2246]

Worlds apart. The Z32 on stock wheels/tires was a comfy GT driver, but handling on track would get circles run around it, even by the 350Z. The 370 was even better and this would demolish it.

[@alexceni377]

Daily drove my Fairlady Z TT for 3 years, just got a 2023 performance z. The driver safety’s on the new z lets you push it without feeling out of control but on stock suspension with the electric steering driving feels very vague and you can feel the car float around curves and turns. It’s definitely a faster car but the z32 feels more raw and connected, assuming yours also has coilovers the z32 feels way more planted and responsive, about to buy the nismo coils and some sway bars for the new z so hopefully that buckles it down some.

[@raymunddelossantos]

Thanks for the video. I am planning to buy a Performance model Z (manual) maybe this weekend. Wish me luck!

In the new cars you're assisted by electronics and good luck if you happen to burn through a clutch which can be costly.

I believe he said track! But it may have been custom!

[@z32twinturbo13]

Also are the turbo on the nismo Z are the different too?

No, same turbos from base to nismo. Nismo comes with different suspension and brakes, as well as a more aggressive tune. There is also some cosmetic differences, front grill, rear spoiler...

@z32twinturbo13 the nismo also come with sport + driving mode, recaro seats I have a nismo and I fucking love it. I just read your name. I have a base model z31 sitting at home.

[@z32twinturbo13]

@@DeathlyWolf42 oh word? Hmm I’ll consider the nismo. But um yes my first vehicle that I purchase was a Z31 Turbo. 5 speed. It was fast. I sold it for the Z32TT 5 speed the. Sold that for my 7 speed dual clutch Auto V6 supercharge vehicle. It’s been two years n I miss banging the gears.

[@DeathlyWolf42]

@z32twinturbo13 yeah, i love banging gears, and was disappointed that it's auto only (for now at least) but I really wanted the nismo. Imo it looks significantly better than the base model. The auto is very quick on shifting, way faster than a human could be. That's what I tell myself to cope with having an automatic race car haha. Plus I have the z31 if I wanna play with a fidget stick.

[@macdaddysoldier]

Great video. I just ordered one of these cars. Would you mind sharing the Nismo Cold Air Intake part number? Right off the bat I want to add a few of the easy bolt-on's you added. I think the Oil cap and Carbon Fiber Engine Cover are a no brainer. :-)

If that car got the weight down to 3200 lbs from the 3700 pounds it is, it would be a complete animal on the street. My cousin has a old 02 z06 that had 500hp 500tq crank hp and it weighed just over 3000 lbs with bigger tires than yours and it would haze the tires until you hit 80mph. Weight is HP. But it is still an amazing car. Love the color.

[@MaxHPower]

That would be pretty wild!

[@roochiecooch]

I mean if anything they should’ve called them a 300z or just go back to the classic 300zx since it is a 3.0 liter V6 twin turbo. Just like the beautiful 90’s legend 300zx twin turbo.

Interesting take on it! It’s definitely different!

[@antikytheramechanism7909]

I like it but it needs power seats option for those that want it, full leather for those that want it, has to have adaptive suspension so you can daily drive it as well. Maybe it should be widened like BMW does its cars rather than just putting stick on fender flares.
