Facelifted Z & Z NISMO Manual to debut at Tokyo Auto Salon In January

[Dying Star]

im just curious how yall felt about the nissan logos versus the Z emblems all over the car .

I think it's odd that they redid the front bumper but designed it with the recess around the emblem. I don't mind that emblem, but it would look better if the recess wasn't there or at least matched the diameter of the emblem.

Although, it's possible that the front splitter/bumper/'facelift' changes for '27 didn't affect the bumper mold, or the upper part of the bumper mold. I knew the center peak of the hood continued above and below the emblem, but didn't think it went through the emblem itself. It does on my '24.

The recess is already there the hamburger Nissan just covers more of it up so my guess is they reused the bumper at least on the NISMO. Will have to see if the standard Z facelift changes the recess my guess it doesn't

...New to me. I like that.

yea its just the lower front lip for the non nismo Z.

but one small detail is all Zs for 2027 get the Z logo instead of the Nissan.
That's OK, I black out the logos anyway.

1. NISMO exhaust

6. Z1 Seibon Carbon Fiber VS Hood

7. Z1 2023+ Nissan Z Aluminum Oil Pan

And of course, filming the whole car. THEN it will be equal to my 2024 Performance except for a down[ipe and an ECu Tune. LOL

Any mentions of wheel changes for MY27? I know previous generations’ facelifts were usually accompanied by wheel changes. I’m on the cusp of a wheel purchase, but I might wait until the reveal to see if we get any good new options.

...so is the "facelift" the front emblem change? lol

I just want to know abut the manual transmission, I understand it is NOT the 6 speed from the Z Performance.

for the NISMO yes for the standard Z it is a lower bumoer/lip area change with more pronounced areo

I was curious about that as well as is a easy way to freshen a look up. but there was no mention of it

Well, maybe Nissan swapped in more Z emblems because of all the knuckle draggers that keep referring to the Z as a "400Z"?

They do match the ones on the sides at the back.

What makes you think that? I find it hard to believe they would change the whole transmission for 20 extra ft-lbs of torque.
