I still have my '03 preorder Redline track and replaced the seats with newer power models. Been working on restoration details this summer and it's looking good after almost two decades.

Understood, but it's still a revision undergoing development. That means appearance is at the bottom of the list.

Since all these photos are of a NISMO test mule, I wouldn't expect that much--if anything--will resemble a production NISMO street Z.

Likely there are no changes between the '23 and '24 model years.

The QC guys at the plant are gonna be crushed. No kidding- those folks take their job very seriously.

Still love the Stillen TD exhaust on my Z33 track model. Sound really rips at higher RPM, but is quiet and composed when cruising. Wonder what they'll release first for the new Z?

The base Supra has a leather interior where the base Z model will get cloth. No matter, the inclusion of a manual option will make the Z the best choice.

Interesting that the QC inspector on that Z was wearing a shirt with an Infiniti logo on it.

Yes, I read your post clearly, but blaming Nissan for media speculation is simply misguided. And while there are bones to pick with the company, this isn't one of them.

I don't recall Nissan ever saying there would be a MY22 Z. The early messaging from Nissan has always been the new Z would be a MY23 model. It makes sense to skip a year and allow the Oppama plant to retool for new production. Yes, Nissan has tried to "pump the demand" with their news releases...

I have a preorder track model 350Z that I've owned for almost 19 years. Precise suspension settings with Koni shocks, Eibach Prokit springs and Nismo S-tune bars make front tire wear a non-issue. This Z wears out two sets of rear tires for every set of fronts in normal street driving, but I...

HUDs have been around for some time, but still add complexity and cost to any product. To me, it's another gadget that could be a point of failure. I applaud Nissan for NOT adding it to the new Z.

I don't see why people are so outraged by the timing of this release. With a known shortage of computer chips and a limited production model like the new Z, it's no surprise to see production dates delayed by 30-60 days. Even that's not much when you consider that other high-volume Nissan models...

Last question first, in the US, dealers are considered independent businesses that can set their own pricing. With all the uproar against Federal standards and resistance from the auto industry lobby, there's little chance ADMs will be outlawed. As for the nine-speed auto, I wonder if there'll...

The Stillen TD exhaust on my 350Z doesn't need such a complex system, but does offer a quiet (near OEM) tone below 3000 RPM. But if you get it above 5,500 RPM on the track it just screams! Best of both worlds and looks good too.

Not for me- that black panel offers some contrast to the rear of the car. Plus, if you're ordering the two-tone paint, it continues the black of the roof down the rear valance of the Z. Such a cool look.

Until production Zs start appearing, there's no way to start prototyping a new exhaust.

The other issue not mentioned is how confident is Nissan in tuning the suspension for customers who may not be familiar with RWD dynamics. My Z33 track model has different shocks, springs and swaybars that tune out much of the understeer, but does that make it better for a neophyte? Probably...

Sorry to say, while video games can help you learn a bit, there's no way you can truly know how to drive ANY of these tracks until you put on that helmet and drive on-track. At a famous track like Road Atlanta, just one lap dropping into the bridge turn and feeling the world drop away as you...

Speaking as a SCCA road racer, the Z34 has more than held its own on high-speed circuits over the past decade. But improving the handling of the Z34B means increased torsional rigidity, revising dampening and spring rates, in order to handle a sizable increase in torque. As for seeing any...
