Begins @ 1:28 300zx design is timeless but this just takes it next level

I agree, this was a build that was definitely going in the right direction. The Nismo design has too much going on. But that’s what aftermarket is for, I can’t wait for Twinz Design to get their hands on this car.

Although functionality is certainly a huge part of the bodykit, I don’t think it limits the design of it. I don’t feel that the bodykit really changes the look of the car like the old Nismo kits did and feels a bit uninspiring in the design. It’s a completely personal opinion, I just would have...

Personally the design is a huge let down, it does not draw inspiration from the best places in my opinion. The base Z looks so much better, the bumpers and side skirts on this Nismo don’t flow effortlessly and don’t add the right amount of aggression or proportions. While I think it’s great that...

Nissan will likely follow the same recipe they have used in the past. There probably won’t be significant appearance changes for 3 years minimum which could include headlight/bumper revisions. They could add new features and any big hardware changes or upgrades/fixes won’t happen for around 4+...

Does anyone know of anyone running a full Motordyne exhaust with ART full down pipes on a Q with the VR30DDTT? Can’t seem to find a video of what that could sound like because I feel that their system cuts out all the rasp and drone with added depth that the new Z really needs.

The change in grille shape makes me realize what it is about the front end I didn’t like. Wasn’t sure if it was the headlights or the grille but without the rectangle grille the headlights really stand out in their shape especially in the yellow. The new Z looks fantastic but the front end lacks...

Maybe a new thread should be made with this mock-up and the one debuted at the show to show what people prefer. Personally this edit is so much better. Definitely make sure Dan sees it!

I wonder how Nissan addressed weight distribution. From the looks of this picture the performance trim will not only not have that big heavy muffler but omit the spare tire most likely and then coupled with all the extra weight up front.

I thought it was already shown that the performance trim would come equipped with two sport mufflers that resembled short tails that came as an option on the Infiniti Q50/60 platform.

The most glaring thing to me is the design of the exhaust. Other than the diff as noted, nothing is really standing out to me. Where were these photos taken?

Any ideas how Nissan was able to put thinner tires in the rear with considerably more torque and hitting earlier in the powerband over the 370z Nismo which ran wider tires in the rear?

Considering that Nismos share similar designs across their product line up (if you look at past nismos of the same time frames) hopefully the new nismo has more drastic changes then what we see on the Aura Note compared to its counterpart.

Holy crap that thing RIPS! The exhaust sounds better and louder than what I was expecting even compared to the Q60.

4.7 seconds seems right for a 6MT 370z with the 7AT being about 0.2s quicker at around 4.5 seconds. The new Z in manual will probably be around 4.1 seconds manual and probably 3.9 seconds automatic. As far as what is more powerful, the Z wins hands down. The powerband is much wider on the new Z...

@Dan_Passe Hey Dan, were revisions done to the engine or the transmission bell housing to get them to mate up? I wanted to know if any one of these parts could drop right into a 370z since they share the same chassis. Also how much heavier is the new 6MT vs its predecessor? Thank you.

The weight stated includes the turbos, inter coolers and associated piping, the engine block itself weighs less as it is smaller. That’s a good point though, but both weights are dry weight I believe. I could be wrong, maybe someone more knowledgeable could chime in. Although Tamasura stated in...

The VR30DDTT (486lbs) is only 17.7lbs more than the VQ37VHR (469lbs).

I don't understand why the majority of these nismo renders look almost identical to the base model. Since when has nissan made a nismo version of their Z cars with the same front and rear fascia?? The Nismo versions have always looked different and imo better with a sportier more aggressive look.
