  1. Mark you calendars, August 17th is Nissan Z Reveal Day!

    From what I've gathered about the industry and from what's been said here I would expect first and foremost a reveal on the 17th of the production model and specs. If we are lucky and everything lines up we might also get dates of availability and probably least likely we could see a firm price...
  2. Official Nissan Z Nismo Discussion / News & Speculation via Bestcarweb Japan

    I think it'd be really cool to recreate the Hamon (the wave-like difference of appearance on katana swords) for the "samurai sword" strips. With that and a few other changes you could make the Nissan Z Ronin/Samurai edition or it could be a cool edition for the Nismo edition. I'm not skilled...
  3. Nissan Z roadster coming? What about a T-Top, Targa Top, or Shooting Brake?

    I think this was a conditional statement, not a statement of fact. Imagine an "If" at the start of the sentence.
  4. Nismo Z Expectations/Wants

    Mercedes has some nice stuff! I'm sure the Z will run for a few years but who knows when Nissan will feel like they can't offer a ICE sports car anymore, especially if gas keeps getting taxed like it is, the future might see only hybrid's and EV's available. Maybe hydrogen! Yeah with the...
  5. Official Nissan Z Nismo Discussion / News & Speculation via Bestcarweb Japan

    If you mean ICE it is an acronym for Internal Combustion Engine.
  6. What car do you think is the MAIN competitor to the new Z?

    Where did you see Toyota release a bracket price? Everywhere I've seen has noted that Toyota still hasn't announced a price. The most I've seen is estimated prices by different news reporters. In fact, you have places like KBB reporting "While Toyota has yet to announced prices for the revamp of...
  7. What car do you think is the MAIN competitor to the new Z?

    It's not long at all by industry standards. The typical time between prototype unveiling to production can be 3-5 years. It can vary though, I think the Tesla Roadster prototype unveiling was in 2006- so, it can really vary. (production issues can happen) The main difference to me is that Nissan...
  8. Nismo Z Expectations/Wants

    Sorry to hear that man. I think the average time from prototype to production is 3-5 years but I know we were all expecting a little sooner since they told us the Proto Z was in a near-production state. I suppose if they announce the details this summer/fall/winter and production next year...
  9. What car do you think is the MAIN competitor to the new Z?

    It isn't really a competition between these two for me, considering the GT4 starts at what... $101k? The two are so far apart on price that it's hard to say they are competing in the same market, but maybe I'm just speaking in poor.
  10. 2022 400Z Goes On Sale Spring 2021!

    An interesting difference between the *(asterisk) on the ARIYA and the Proto Z is that the ARIYA says: (Nissan ARIYA not yet available for purchase. Expected availability in 2021. Composite image of model shown. Actual production model will vary. See actual production vehicle when available...
  11. 2022 Nissan Z Spied Testing On The Street In Colorado

    I'm a big fan of British Racing Green with brown leather interior and bronze wheels. I think the 86 Hakone edition did it really well and proved that it's still a desirable color. Hakone is a name for a popular touge or curvy mountain backroad in Japan. Maybe Nissan could do a version and name...
  12. 2022 Nissan Z Details: MSRP pricing, packages, power (hp), weight, transmission + more

    Cnet's Road Show ran a story today about the Nissan Ariya being delayed, due to chip shortages, until 2022 with reservations beginning later this year. Since that's Nissans Flagship electric SUV I'm assuming it might even get priority when it comes to semiconductor allocation. I wonder what this...
  13. What has your dealer told you about the Z?

    Thanks for your service, brother. What branch were you in? My father was also a Vietnam Vet, and he also got a Datsun 240Z but he picked it out of the factory while on R&R in Japan and had it shipped ahead of him. He loved that car.

    I agree in that I haven't seen anyone be flat out disrespectful. Also I never said anyone threatened him as a person, just that they made veiled threats to take their business elsewhere. It's an important distinction. Have people been appealing to his emotions? I think it's clear as day, but if...
  15. 2022 Nissan Z Details: MSRP pricing, packages, power (hp), weight, transmission + more

    W/e man I said what I thought. Some of these posts have been petulant and seeing people trying to emotionally manipulate him into sharing information activates the disgust part of my brain as a man. That being said, I'm a Marine, so I'm probably a little more judgmental than most in that...

    Green fabric Equus virtute Acrylic enamel All of it. Though, I do think Dan gave us something! Check out the name of his Car(s): ;) The fact that Dan has been so adamant about dispelling you Houston, and telling you that your source is wrong, might make you think twice about everything you...
  17. Toyota Presents World Debut of the New 2022 GR 86

    I currently own an FRS, I've been driving it for about 6 years now. Great little car, looks good, you get to row gears and it's reliable. It also has notional back seats (I wouldn't put my 2yo back there unless it was an emergency let alone an adult) but they fold down and produce enough space...
  18. 2022 Nissan Z Details: MSRP pricing, packages, power (hp), weight, transmission + more

    Can you give an example of a time an automaker has intervened to discredit information and that information later turned out to be true? I just doesn't seem logical to me. What could they possibly stand to gain by discrediting true rumors? I'm not being facetious here, I'm genuinely...
  19. 2022 Nissan Z Details: MSRP pricing, packages, power (hp), weight, transmission + more

    You make an awesome point. I wonder what a world where the 86 and BRZ were competitively developed would look like. I wonder if the collaboration has any other effects like BMW incorporating the Kaizen philosophy or something. I think the collaboration would be a lot more fulfilling if it was...

    I'm sure by now you're aware he's the real deal. It might be cool to give him a special badge like your Staff Member badge but something more fitting. That way other people who don't go through the post history will know immediately that he is who he says he is. It also appears that @ZCCA runs...
