Via Larry Chen, we get a nice breakdown of Z1's nicely modified shop Z as well as insight into current and future modifications Z1 is offering for the new Z.
If for some reason any of you folks are unfamiliar with Z1, get familiar. They are the leading aftermarket manufacturer when it comes to the Z platform (VQ or VR in general). I believe at least 4 of them are their shop cars.
They're already offering some nice aftermarket stuff, expect much more...
Looks like they have a carbon fiber front splitter, hood, fender vents, and wing, as well as aftermarket wheels and obviously a wrap.
Looks pretty damn clean, definitely the best aftermarket front splitter I've seen so far.
The real reason why there hasn't been many Zs produced is because Nissan said, "F*ck it" and started turning it into an SUV instead. 🤣🤣🤣
Just kidding I have no idea who created this monstrosity.
Very interested in seeing what Z1 has planned. I know they already have a bunch of goods lined up.
Also side note: I think I'm starting to like the Z without the spoiler now than with it. 🤔
Confirmed via 12:30 in this video from the guy speaking which is Jonathan Buhler, Nissan Senior Product Specialist. 9AT will have an active exhaust system that opens when in Sport mode. 6MT unfortunately does not have Sport mode or active exhaust and apparently will be quieter like the Z in the...
According to the Nissan release spec sheet the exhaust options are as follows:
Note: Left is Sport trim | Right is Performance trim
First picture we have the performance trim exhaust. How can I tell? The rear spoiler, which only comes on the performance trim. As you can see it has the much...
Seems like the STI got a solid second start off the beep yet the Z walks away from it with EAZE. Also sounds like the STI is modded and possibly tuned. The way it walks away from the STI I'd guess the new Z will be underrated and probably closer to 400WHP stock from factory! The Z will be a...
Some good insight and points brought up here. He is very knowledgeable on the Z/Q platforms. Currently he has a supercharged 370Z Nismo build he's been working on and I believe he had a Q60 build in the past.
And boy do they look sexy as hell on the road. Video by @jessescheel on IG.
Gun Metallic and Brilliant Silver spotted stopping for fuel. ?
The first car is the two-tone Brilliant Silver. The second car is the monotone Gun Metallic. Both colors look amazing in the sun here.
For any of you who didn't know with 370Z, the Z emblem on the front-side fender also functions as a turn signal light, lighting with your turn signal/hazards. Now with the new 2023, the side turn signals are integrated in the side mirrors. Does anyone else wish Nissan would've kept the Z emblem...
If you put money down and were promised a "preorder spot" I would get your money back if I were you. Sounds like Nissan is just making the Zs and sending them to dealers for Spring delivery. Most likely dealers will be specing their own Zs to start first deliveries.
I guarantee your “preorder...
Sport(Base) or Performance Trim
See here for all info on each trim. Important to note, however, that Sport has 18" wheels and regular 2-piston brake calipers, Performance has 19" wheels and 4-piston brake calipers. Also, according to the official spec sheet, it appears that if you choose the...
If you don't know about AMS Performance, they are highly reputable in the aftermarket car industry. They sell Stage 1 and Stage 2 setups as well as other mods for the Q50/Q60 VR30 platform as well as the GTR. They definitely know a lot when it comes to the platform, seeing as they hold the 1/4...
