Great to be back into a Z !

[Vintage]

Just purchased a 2025 Nismo Solid Red.
After owing a 2023 Z Performance, I traded it in on a White 2024 Z Nismo. I enjoyed the Nismo for approximately a year then traded it in on a new Tacoma, as I needed a truck for work.
I have to say, it feels great to be back behind the wheel of Z car.

Its your 3rd Z in less than 2 years? I lost count LOL and your 4th cars? I think I bought less underwears in 2 years man.

Welcome. I bought my Z 3 months ago and hoping to own one year before I go into the sunset.

So far got a spoiler, rims, springs, and exhaust. All installed by me, all the hard work but I guess I enjoy it.

I LOL at the “less underwear in two years.” Congrats on getting back into a Z! Color is beautiful!

Congrats on the Z, make sure you remove those shipping spacers!

CongratS again. I do love my taco including drive over curbs without worry about the wheels and front nose.

Wow! Good catch. Just checked and they're still in. I was wondering why this new 25 drove aliitle stiffer than my 24.

NICE!

How does one checks this? Just in case... you never know...

Same color Nismo as mine. At around 3K I’m starting to feel more comfortable driving it. Recaro seats are great and it feels more refined compared to any other (Datsun) / Nissan MT Zs I’ve owned. I think the 9SP AT helps in traffic & when I just want to cruise & chill out. It’s not a perfect sports car… but Nissan git closer than I expected. Welcome back to the Nismo family.

Feel around the front & back of the springs. The metal should spiral all the way around bottom to top. If you hit something, you have to put it on jack stands to work them out. I think they prevented damage to the front air dam when shipping. I think there were 6 in total from the factory: 4 front, 2 rear. The dealership left 2 at the back of my front springs which I discovered after 500mi of stiff cornering & feeling every pothole no matter how small.

So you have the Taco AND a Z now right?

I kept my Frontier too as I live in a place that gets all 4 seasons. Would roll with just a Z if I could but mid-side truck + Z club!

That's what I got; a Pro4X and the Nismo.

Currently rolling with a Taco, Z, 911, 4runner and two Harleys. I think I need a bigger garage said the " caraholic "

Shipping spacers may have only been added on the Nismos, the front dam is that close to the ground. As discussed on another thread, I think early journalists gave the RZ34 Nismos bad press for a harsh ride. But the spacers weren’t removed on their eval cars! Sure the ride is stiff, but not as bed as when the front spacers are left in. I can post a pic if you want to see what they look like.
