New Nissan Z Baseline Dyno and Checking Which Wheels and Tyres Fit - Motive Garage Zed Pt1

[@skylineandy]

This is why I/we love motive new car straight to the dyno and mods immediately

[@meanman6992]

Makes good power stock… I don’t blame them for going cheap then on the exhaust since a whole lot of people are just going to chuck it in the garbage for aftermarket, and with the wheel setup… I’m thinking it’s almost like Nissan knew a lot of these were going to get modified…

[@StrykerWolf92]

There's interviews with Nissan engineers and they say this exactly. The autos have a nicer exhaust with valves an stuff, but the manuals are giving the cheapest thing they can get expecting it to be replaced.

[@Blight-fp3vt]

Hmm... I don't think a whole lot will chuck on aftermarkets. This isn't a car, in Australia anyway ($80,000 dive away for base model), that kids can afford to buy. Regular rev heads and Enthusiast, sure, some might, but a lot of those people like to keep cars stock - most older people just do not mod new cars much. Either emissions/noise regulations across all the markets forced Nissans hand, or Nissan dropped the ball on it. Again, 80k is a lot - compared to the 71k Mustang with more power, and a better chassis setup.

[@Asiansxsymbol]

368 whp is about 410 to 432 bhp, depending on the 10% or 15% drivetrain loss calculation, which is healthy.

[@srajangupta2867]

For stock they have the dealer option of nismo exhaust

[@ldadol]

This is the KZbin channel I''ve been waiting for to obtain a Z!

[@backnu]

So two things. The front wheel @ 15:03 - what brand make is that? I like aggressive on the front so maybe a 10. I want some poke and more depth. Also @ 11:01. I also like that wheel. Who makes it? Maybe I could stay just as wide with a 10.5 with the correct offset. I would want some poke as well but what wheel is that and recommended offset? I'm coming from a Performance Package 2 Mustang with OEM 19x10.5 front and 19x11 rear. OEM tires are 305-30-19s. Everything for the Z i see just seems weak. I know its a different car and audience, but these cars lack masculinity. I'm trying to get that back. Can you program tire sizes in a Z?

[@HazeyAuto]

As much as I really want to enjoy watching this car evolve into something that’s top of the game in the Z world, I can’t help but think it’ll eventually end up the same way as many modern MOTIVE projects and end up in some shonky car raffling business… Please prove me wrong!

[@MotiveVideo]

Look at it this way. They buy them of is, samw way as anyone else would, but they pay more due to our advertising This means project cars are now an actual viable business rather than constantly losing money, meaning we can do more of them and more content. Be happy they do it if you like our content.

[@sircefiro]

@@MotiveVideo For sure man, the GTR & probably JET200 are the main stayers & the others can come & go, as you see your RB content always gets the high views, I'd really like to see a RWD RB car get the GTR hand me downs & go against the modern cars, it's all money though which nothing is cheap these days, love your work Motive

[@boris9331]

No Andrew, Adrian is a thief LMCT+ is dodgy crap. You are promoting crap your viewers will comment about it. Charged my credit card and others silently 7+ months $600+ after the Mines R34r giveaway ended of what was a $49.95 one time purchase. Any doubts go check any doubts I'll make video.

[@alberttsai3659]

Stock exhaust of the Z probably flows something similar to a stock exhaust of a GR Yaris lol

[@garagecedric]

In GRMs track test logs it seemed pretty much equal in acceleration on the straights to the GR86, slightly surprising. Would be interesting to see your track data since you also happen to have a gr/brz.

[@sf2372]

TJ Hunts proto ran 370whp over in the USA. so pretty consistant hey

[@ChequeredTuning]

nearly got us, think we got one in and tuned only a couple of hours before you guys did your baselines. We have added the aus roms so you should be able to tune it now. .

[@MotiveVideo]

awesome! Back to CRD tomorrow as they have software now

[@ChequeredTuning]

@@MotiveVideo in good hands at CRD

[@stefanroseEP3]

Surely if you're going run a more aggressive offset on the front you want to be running a wider wheel too to maintain the factory scrub radius? Will add weight to the steering and cause more bumpsteer/kickback with the more positive scrub radius.

[@FreedomUSA22]

Thank you for the excellent video. What size of exhaust diameter do you consider good for getting power gains?

[@CrusinVK]

G'day Andrew. great content as always. can't wait to see where you take the new Z. some constructive feedback for you, from an audio engineers perspective, grab 250 bucks and buy yourself a set of (Aussie deisgned) RODE Wireless GO microphones. these will significantly improve your audio quality, and elevate your content to the next level. Currently, your audio sounds like it's recorded from a smartphone, because typical DSLR cameras use tiny mics , just like a smartphone which is why there's so much background noise. this is very evident in the workshop scenes.

[@thissideup1620]

Awesome job showing and explaining wheel figments!

[@josephvaldivia1522]

im so keen to see how this stacks up against the supra at SMSP....

[@yusspretaeb]

About time you got one, I can't wait to see what you cook up with this bad boy! *Hint air to air is the way*

[@joeop5104]

We've had this platform since 2018 on my wife's Q50S red sport we got 263kw at the tyres on a roller dyno with 708nm. In a 7 speed auto. What was you NM? Can't wait for mods been waiting for someone to start with these cars

[@jockihm831]

I won't get mine till 2024 in the states. Will be a 9 speed though. Really want to see how those hold up.

[@kajida]

I'd like to see what the car can do do with stock intercoolers before you start replacing them.

[@MotiveVideo]

you will see that

[@BRAINWASHDrider1]

The amount of space under the rear fender has that thing begging to have a 315 radial slick and twin 67s. Prolly not the route youre going but damn

[@ramboexcess4469]

Great info, thank u...thinking about buying one

[@johnnyVGtran]

Congrats on the Z Proto pickup mate! Il be following your build and development closely ! Will be going on the waiting list very soon for my own Z in grey !

[@kanenstuff]

I scored a Citizen Nissan Fairlady Z watch in the Nissan HQ in Yokohama during a April business trip. It's a sweet as watch and get a carbon key fob I just need the car to match and use the sweetas key fob. The watch is Titanium and 1 of 100 direct from Nissan and 1 of 1700 world wide but not as nice as your new beast.

[@shimmy1701]

How do u like it based on the latest sports cars driven 🤔?

[@zpe1200]

does any other channel do content like Motive?

[@BodenM]

I reckon a good chunk of that weight on the stock wheels will be down to the tyres, those S007s are a pretty weighty tyre, in the stock Z size they're like 14kg each or something like that.

[@cyclonicleo]

So much potential to be had, so lets get at it!

[@fobos101]

So gutted we don’t get this in the UK/Europe. I have been wanting one of these since they showed it off years ago!

[@zyoungson215]

Get a 350/370z with a turbo you are 80% of the way there

[@LS-pu2bn]

Killer chiller?

[@spooler7828]

Good luck, you get to experience the struggles of keeping an open deck block together.

[@jbu89gb]

Sucks so much the Z isn't coming to the UK

[@toyboxlemonza3293]

Andrew, you look amazing. You've done amazing things.

[@frankz5864]

Sick car but I’m not in love with the front end design, doesn’t have a tough aggressive look, but I guess it’s keeping true to the Z’s of the past which had a very round front end with softer lines.

[@CZRE888]

Unreal build incoming!

[@Asiansxsymbol]

368 whp = about 410 to 432 bhp (depending on the 10% or 15% drivetrain loss calculation), which is healthy.

[@MotiveVideo]

Drivetrain loss is NOT a percentage. It is closer to a fixed amount. We have a video about this. Check it out.

[@ceajae3654]

Andrew, question for you buddy… given the capacity… where do you see the aftermarket options expanding? supercharged or turbocharged? Initial thoughts are turbo, we all know drift loves a good turbo but with the right supercharger I would be interested to see what it would pull down low … could be enough to produce a really usable torque range Interested in your thoughts mate

[@MotiveVideo]

It has HEAPS of low down torque already and fried tyres, so definitely turbo

[@Brandonvscars695]

To think my na Datsun l20b with very minor work done has a bigger exhaust than the new z astounds me

[@My678910]

Won't let me download, internet too slow to stream

[@toddgillard8276]

Looking forward to seeing 👀 everything you do too the zee

[@hyper8545]

I bet that exhaust is why intakes do nothing ?

[@MotiveVideo]

Probably. Also air flow meter gates the direct air into it with no filter. Maybe turbulent

[@richieduck67]

Heard the dumps are fun to change

[@richmanricho]

[@MegaTorque]

You need to get shockworks onto it

We’ll give our verdict soon enough. Remember Supra is. more expensive and you get what you pay for.

id even pick the Auto supra over this. atleast the supra comes with a good exhaust, the z exhaust is pathetic

@@lambbosbread123 Picking a car over the sound of a factory exhaust isn't even on the cards lol

why are they all yellow

Why would Nissan put on a more expensive and elaborate exhaust system when they know more than half pf these cars will drop it for a larger after market one? Sounds like wise cost savings passed down to the buyer!

~275kW at the hubs dead stock? Should be a feisty thing, especially if you can make another 20% with freeing up the exhaust and some tuning.

[@prashanthkrishanduth8521]

Maybe try the Konig Hypergram. They come in 18x11 +40 and 19x11 +40, and they weigh 8.8kg and 9.88kg respectively. 315 section tyres to put down even more power :)
