Manual transmission 2027 Nissan Z Nismo reviews -- Articles & Videos

[MCN1SMO]

Ive had those GTR drilled rotors on 3 different GTRs since 2008 and had a good amount of track autocross ect ect on them. they can get stress cracks but usually they are tiny and I think nissan considered anything under 4mm to be cosmetic. I never had to replace mine.

I’ve been checking DBA for a while and never got results, until this morning after your post. Got my hopes up, then saw they were 355mm.
Not a web designer, but if they have a selection for the NISMO model/trim, they shouldn’t show results that don’t fit that trim. Rotor diameter, width, center diameter and pcd are important, but if offset isnt perfect you can have catastrophic failure.

While discussing coilovers I asked Nick at Sakebomb if they could spec/build AP Racing rotors to fit the NISMO. He didn’t know, but next phone convo we had he said they could. Haven’t taken the time to go further with it though.

Back in the day (early-‘00s) a guy around here drilled a set of 1-piece himself. Didn’t break, but came REALLY close. Never seen rotors that jacked in my life.

This was a good video.

Good honest review by Nismo Nick! Total enthusiast but also non-biased. Price point needs to come down for sure. So glad to hear the feel of peppiness and punch of the 6 speed is very noticeable, great for the Nismo.

Finally got around to watching the video. And yes, it is a fantastic breakdown by Nick. I too am kind of shocked at the $70K price point. That is more than my fully loaded (literally every option ticked) 2025 IS 500. I'm not saying my IS 500 is a better car, just not an apples to apples comparison.

That said, I don't think anything will bring the price point down and I can already see dealers trying to do ADMs on every one they receive. I hope not, but that's what it looks like from where I sit.

I see every car as a starting point. This is very exciting!

Great Video!
I completely agree with his assessment.

Yep. I could buy a really nice low miles C7 Z06 vette for that, and it mops the floor with the Z in every metric except fuel economy. I think 38k sport, 45k performance and 55-60k nismo would be more aligned with reality.

To be fair the C7 Z06 mops the floor with the M2/M2CS/Mustang DH/Cayman GT4/Nissan GTR, pretty much cars that is much more money than the Z Nismo. Corvettes have always been the biggest bang for buck sports cars.

Yet, they're boring to drive. Alas, here I am.

Even more so than the Corvettes, the GT-R was the biggest letdown after I drove one cross-country. I was convinced I was going to sell my Evo X for one but agter putting significant seet time in I ended up going for the C7 instead (this was 2014).
