    About the manual transmission...

    Interesting, complexities in today's world. "A lot of modern manual cars have “rev hang,” when the engine maintains speed even after the driver pushes in the clutch pedal. Normally, this unburned fuel would enter the combustion chamber, enriching the air-fuel mixture and increasing emissions...

    Prices coming down, anybody getting under MSRP?

    Proposal...just an idea

    Hi all, I know this is a wild request, but since NO dealers near me allow test drives, and I'm still in the market for a manual Performance or Sport, here's my request. If anyone local in SoCal OC, IE, LA counties has such a configured Z I'd like to feel the driving dynamics just for a very...

    GroupZ post-Thanksgiving drive

    Awesome cool morning cruise up to Crystal Lake. No new Z yet in the group, but a rare ZX-R joined us. I'm patiently waiting for the right-priced new Z to upgrade for a track weapon 😅 Next week, Dec 2nd, club will stage next to the Japanese Zero at Planes of Fame Air Museum, commemorating Pearl...

    Would be nice to have...

    Too much to ask for Nissan to engineer these nice upgrades into the Z manual: The most significant additions to the 2024 model are a new DSC Track driving mode and a newly designed Asymmetric Limited Slip Differential (Asymmetric LSD). These new features are only available for models equipped...

    Savagegeese review vs S650 GT

    As always, nice detailed review. Thoughts? I'd still take a Sport MT and mod it, tires, suspension and brakes first definitely. Tailor to my setup.

    Well my MYLR order just got adjusted again, down by $3K, and coming soon:D. My next Z, Nismo, Hybrid or ?? will have to wait. This because I believe mostly in the stability of the Supercharger network esp. being in CA, they're everywhere even for road trips. AND Fed tax credit is avail (full...

    BaT's 100,000th goes to a....Datsun

All profits from the same go to BaT’s chosen charity, The Piston Foundation, which helps get youth into the collector car trade with scholarships for colleges and trade schools. “Our community of enthusiasts has been...
