    Nismo caught in the snow

    And a definite hazard on the roads.

    Battery Re-Location

    Interesting...I had no idea that that was a thing. Battery location is an important consideration in my airplane because center of gravity out of envelope can kill ya., but I've never paid attention in my cars. Maybe something to consider if I raced it. For everyday driving, I can't imagine that...

    Toyota Supra’s Sales Dominance Over Nissan Z Is… Over

    Personally I'm pretty neutral on BMW, but man....that is a great rant. Hats off! I bow to your greater experience with the brand.

    Toyota Supra’s Sales Dominance Over Nissan Z Is… Over

    Why? What's the problem? BMW makes a very competent car. The M-series isn't my cup of tea but no denying that it's a competently designed and engineered car.

    Toyota Supra’s Sales Dominance Over Nissan Z Is… Over

    Here in the hinterlands of Minnesota, seeing a Z of any vintage on the road is a rare event. There are two or three 350Z's around, and one or two 370Z's, but I've yet to run across an RZ34 of any variety. Getting randomly addressed by admirers in parking lots and gas stations is a very common...

    Any regrets?

    You can always download the Z owner's manual to your phone, which then won't take up important storage space in your car... https://www.nissan-techinfo.com/deptog.aspx?dept_id=802

    Any regrets?

    The seats are shaped such that a 4 o'clock belt slide makes for uncomfortable sitting. The item fits well into that manual compartment behind the passenger seat. Easily reachable with one hand from the driver's seat. Likewise easy to slam shut making the compartment and its contents unobtrusive.

    Lifting the Z (or any vehicle with pinch-welds)

    I agree, just ran across the ad and thought appropriate to toss into the discussion, For my part, I like the way that the non-metallic hockey puck distributes the load to the frame and doesn't let it all focus on just the pinch weld. Plus...it's cheap....$3 for the puck, plus a 4-pack of 1/2 x...

    Any regrets?

    Yes, and that works fine if you want to have a cord or two hanging down from the radar detector/dashcam down to the passenger footwell. I'd prefer to plug those two things right up where they mount. Normally I use a mirror tap cord but it would be nice to actually have a power outlet. It's...

    Any regrets?

    Every Z I've ever had has had too much body roll and needs sway bars. My 370Z's were very noisy (road noise). The 2024 is quieter, but not by much. Steering wheel heater and remote start would be good for some...I don't need them since I never drive the Z in winter (Minnesota). Not that the 2024...

    Any regrets?

    Yes, it's a great place to stash your Glock.

    Any regrets?

    I have a long history with Z’s, going all the way back to 1970 (240Z) and most recently to two 370Z’s since 2011. My 2024 AT Performance Z is the best one yet. It has exceeded my expectations…zero regrets.

    Nissan and Honda merger thread

    I can't speak to the rest of the world, but it seems pretty likely that there will be tariffs on Chinese goods coming into the US, at least for the next four years. Other countries with a less robust economy may not be able to fight a trade war with China, however.

    Age of Nissan Z owners

    I'm 73. My first Z was a 240Z in 1970 and I've had eight Z's since that one. I bailed from the Z platform in 1983 (280 ZX Turbo) partly because of marriage/house/kids and partly because I was completely disappointed in the ponderous, bloated luxo-cruiser GT that the Z had become. The 350Z...

    Lifting the Z (or any vehicle with pinch-welds)

    Couple of quick passes with a table saw or radial arm saw and you'll have a nice groove cut for the frame pinch welds.
