It’s really cool seeing how far these guys at Z1 have come. I grew up in Carrollton in the 90s and early 00s when this place was established. Having been away from there since 2003 and seeing cars all over the country with their parts has been really cool. I got a taste of their impact while in Germany and disclosing where I’m from which led to me immediately being asked if I’d heard of them. My periodic visits back home also allowed me to see their facilities grow to what they are today. It’s really impressive what they’ve done.

@@joesix4726 I believe the speed sensors have been on the VR30DDTT (400 HP) variant since 2016. The only difference between the 2 engine specs is that the 400 HP variant has the turbo sensors, additional water pump for cooling and the Final drive axel ratio (3.13) which helps improve acceleration and response.

I cringed when the guy “corrected” Larry but was wrong. I was a big fan of the VE30DE, my car was actually the test mule that Jim Wolf technologies used to tune the ECU For that year/model maxima and also do the piggy back nitrous module. Clark Steppler was the man!

[@Superdimensional]

Larry you were right, the 93 MAXIMA SE was a VE30DE, NOT the VG30E. The VE was dohc 190hp and made in the SE only models from 1992-1994 (before they went to VQ in 1995) the other models GXE/GLE remained getting the VG Until the model change in 1995 when all Maximas got the VQ30DE.

First true failure in my Z too. Baffling how these didn't ship with upgraded hatch struts for all that weight.

FYI: The Nissan Z cars receives their name by the engine size. (Ex. 350z = 3.5L, 370z = 3.7L, 280z = 2.8L). Nissan made it clear that The 2023 “Z” is a combination of all Z cars into one. It shows ownership & commitment of the Z history. You’re Welcome Rest in Peace Mr. Yoshihiko Matsuo 🕊️

[@Unicornpirate]

Honestly they could have easily named it as the 300zx and it would have sold. This car has all of the ZX features. GT like ride and soft suspension, luxury interior (this is way more luxurious and filled with tech than a 350z or 370z), twin turbo 3L V6 that revs to 7k rpm (just like the Z32). They could have called it the 300zx to battle with the A90 MkV Supra just like how the Z32 300zx battled it out with the A80 Mk4 Supra. And for a Japanese car enthusiast, it would have been like the 90s again. 300zx (this RZ34), A90 MkV Supra, R35 GTR and NC1 NSX

[@R4SPEED]

@@Unicornpirate It wouldn’t work because of a different chassis & it’s a different designer. Toshio is the designer of the Z32 and he mentioned that they weren’t going back to previous models. It’s the same thing goes for R34 , R33, & R35.

[@josesupra]

The z34r would have made more sense to not sound like r34. Its just an extention of the z34. I also dont think calling it a 300z or z would have been going backwards at all. The z31 and z32 were both 300zx's and that never effected the z32 sales. Its a till a new z. Actually dropping the x and just being "300z" would have been pretty cool tbh. I like what they've done with this car though. I wonder if they will specifically only sell aero parts with 600r packaged cars? That could makenthen pretty rare and easy to distinguish from the rest in most cases.

I'd most definitely go Q60 unless you want the sedan. Those red sports are nice. Only thing about that platform is that it has no intercooler system. Unless you're taking it to the track, then it's not a big issue, but if you ever build the car, then you most definitely will want to invest in an intercooler mod. There is a currently known tune for the red sports.

[@RMS027]

@@krob8823 They're very fun and great at reusing emissions and producing power. You can always expect a great margin of gains from minimal modifications, such as a tune. The only thing about them is that they do run your manifold temps up and thus an intercooler system is imperative for sustaining and maintaining boost. The longer you run under high temps, you risk the ECU cutting power back to protect the engine and delayed response to throttle.

If you go IS your not asking for much power unless your getting a ISF but even that's expensive in itself cause they barely have any aftermarket unless your keeping it na. Go for a Q if u want performance but at the same time just track the limitations before throwing power at it really.
