only with certain cars; S550 = no back pain. R35 = no back pain. Z = back pain. Soft leather = no back pain for me apparently. When I was at the Nissan Heritage Museum a couple other guys were sitting in the Z on display and they were complaining about the seats while the car was stationary. Go...

I have a Proto spec and the seats make my back hurt like hell. I have a R35 GT-R and those seats feel even better than my old Benz. I am wondering if I can insert R35 seats in a RZ34. Been looking into it. If I can I would buy them and do it. My old 93 300ZX had way better seats. I think the...

Good points. How do u think a $130K Supra (custom engine and platform like the R35) would have done in the market ? Both sales-wise and from a critical reception standpoint ? Also, I’m curious to get your thoughts on how your R34 compares to your A90 Supra.

Yup, the B58 existed before Toyota made a single phone call. It came out in 2015 and is a closed deck design.

Actually, the VR30 engine in the Nissan Z has virtually nothing in common with the VR38 in the Nissan R35 GT-R. The VR38 came out in 2007 and is a closed deck design (used for racing), whereas the VR30 came out in 2015 and is an open deck design. The VR30 uses direct injection whereas the VR38...

So basically all Zs. No specific serial number range. Guess it’s time to see the dealer again ?

Here’s my take: it’s all about how you feel when you drive the car. My S Plaid is ridiculously faster than my R35 but the R is much more enjoyable and engaging to drive and so is the Z. Toyota said they talked to legacy Supra owners and they absolutely demanded an in-line 6. Toyota said they...

For the RZ-34 specifically, it sounds only like a headlamp sensor sensitivity issue. See translated versions attached. The other issues apply to other Nissan models, as far as I can tell.

Clean is the word. Compared to Nissan’s “hyper” design language on the R36 concept, this thing is in a whole different league of beauty. It’s like sex on wheels…

Dealer @ 2,000 miles. This way they could inspect the car too and see if there’s anything odd. They did a full inspection and gave me a report. No issues, all is like new they said.

Yah the orange blinking lights on the Z are a bit large…my other car just makes a sound…there’s no lights blaring on the sides…and the GT-R just doesn’t have a lane departure warning system of any sort…lol

Interesting. I only get the lane departure warning light. Even on fast roads. What you’re seeing appears to be a software glitch rather than an actual mechanical issue is my take. Hope the dealer has a patch resolution.

So I’m stuck with 91 octane in California so I decided to try a blend of 100 octane + 91 octane to see if the Z would respond better acceleration-wise. I added 5 gallons of 100 plus about 11 gallons of 91, which probably gets me somewhere in the 94/95 range. The result is the Z is noticeably...

These pics are insanely gorgeous. Thank you. You should take some more side profile pics, that pic of them side by side really shows how cars have changed. I never realized how massive the greenhouse of the Z32 was; compared to the RZ-34, it looks huge. The RZ-34 looks like it has a chopped...

14,000 miles is actually not bad for a rear wheel drive Z. My C63 with 130 more Lb. Ft. of torque could barely get to 10,000 miles. And I can’t even get to 7,000 miles in a Tesla Plaid without changing the rears.

Even before the wreck, I don’t think this was quite a pristine example. It had 147,000 miles and an odd body kit…the lower rear bumper, massive rear spoiler and front bumper are definitely not stock….

My take—ship it with an enclosed transport carrier that specializes in high-end exotics, has the insurance policy to cover anything, and provides 24/7 video surveillance of your car and a GPS tracking device. This way you can both watch your car on the way there and track its whereabouts while...

I had this exact color combo; I traded in a 2000 black on black NSX-T for a 2003 yellow on yellow NSX-T. The 2000 model was superior in my view. The 2000 would hit much harder when VTEC was engaged, as Honda did a bit of an oil pressure drop right before 5800 RPM to make the “hit” more...

Good reminders, I totally forgot they refreshed the R35 in 2020. Apparently there was some engine changes at that time too, like new turbos, a new exhaust manifold, and an updated R mode for the GR6: https://usa.nissannews.com/en-US/releases/2020-nissan-gt-r-press-kit?selectedTabId=# And yah...

You’re right, the Z is easier to maneuver and just get going. It weighs at least 300 pounds less than the R35 and u can feel it in turns. The R35 takes more preparation and really being aware of how large it is. The RZ34 also has better parking sensors, as they’re likely from 2022/23, whereas...
