Yes, it was a Performance MT. It was funny at the end, but I'm surprised they didn't reshoot that take and edit it.

Hey, the Z in this video used to be mine! I traded it in to Olympia Nissan for my Nismo. I miss it now.

Photo Day!

This Nissan Dash Cam came installed in my Nismo, a $350 option. It took me a while to figure out why it wasn't working - there is a power button on the passenger side of the device that was off. It needs the car to be in the "On" mode in order for it to be powered up. Accessory mode won't turn...

I came out of a restaurant this evening and found what appeared to be a homeless couple standing in front of it. I was trying to avoid eye contact with them, and all that, but one of them said "Nice car". A bit awkward, as I expect they were fishing for a handout. I had a Black Performance MT...

Ceramic coating in about a month, and some road trips to break it in.

My Nismo came in to the dealer yesterday and I drove down to check it out. It came into the dealer a month later than expected, but it was perfect. I drove it home, of course!

So are the Recaro seats ok for long road trips? I noticed the seats are not heated, and are completely manually adjusted. I have my name on a Stealth Grey Nismo, but I doubt they will let me test drive it before buying it. I would trade in my black Performance MT, but the jury is still out.

This car has been so unlucky I'm calling it the Black Cat. It got a flat tire two weeks after I got it, and then a cracked windshield. Now the replacement windshield came in damaged.

My windshield was supposed be replaced today, but the new windshield turned out to be broken when they opened the box. I am starting to think the windshields might have a defect. I've never had to replace a windshield in 40 years of driving sports cars. Having one damaged in transit seems...

Not in CA, but the dealer I originally had a deposit with finally got their Z - a Boulder Gray Performance 6SP for $64100. I already bought one in OR, otherwise I would be #1 for this one. They said if I wasn't happy with mine, I could trade it in for this one. Mine has already had a flat tire...

I think a rock hit it and the crack spread out pretty quickly. I have no idea when the rock hit it, but if you're going 90 miles an hour even a small rock will do some damage. I didn't notice it before I was driving home yesterday, and then it was there.

I'm paying this one out of pocket. If it happens again, I'll have the insurance cover it. I have the feeling this is probably going to happen a lot, but after the car is a year old, aftermarket windshields should be available at less cost.

My local Nissan dealer ordered a new OEM part with an 8 business day delivery from Tennessee. Cost was $1622.80 prepaid, plus installation $530 something. I'll probably have the break-in oil change done at the same time.

I noticed a crack in my windshield yesterday. I measured it at around 9 inches, so Safelite says a windshield replacement is called for. Their estimate is $2300. I wonder how long it will take to get a new windshield for this car? Maybe they can patch it up until the new windshield comes in?

I ran over one of those parking lot end curbs and scraped the right side bottom. I'll have the dealer look at it when I take it in for my break-in oil change, but it's probably nothing. I entered a gas station driveway a little fast and scraped the front.

I was mostly interested in a credible 0-60 time, but if C&D is calling the 2023 Z a 2024 model, you have to question their credibility.

Found this online. No date for when the article was posted. Their 0-60 time for the Performance 6MT is 4.5 sec. https://www.caranddriver.com/nissan/z

Photo day. Just got the car back from the ceramic coating. The car will never look better than this.

My local dealer (Burien Nissan) is showing a Silver Performance MT that is supposed to show up on April 26. So it must be coming in on this ship. If I didn't already buy mine, I would be calling them up.
