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, Iām curious to get your thoughts on how your R34 compares to your A90 Supra.
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...
Hereās my take: itās 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.
Best looking vehicle that Nissan debuted at the TMS today. It doesnāt have the āhyperā design language so it looks sooo much cleanerā¦I could see this selling fairly well if priced rightā¦
Clean is the word. Compared to Nissanās āhyperā design language on the R36 concept, this thing is in a whole different league of beauty. Itās like sex on wheelsā¦
I agree. I had a 90, 91 and 97. This looks like none of them. It does bear some very subtle similarity to the 92-96 generation but it looks more like a Civic coupe than that anywayā¦
So this thing has 1000kw, which is about 1400 HP. Coming out in 2028. An S Plaid can deliver 1400HP today from its existing motors, they just donāt have dense enough batteries ready to power it, so itās detuned to 1020HP. In 2028 something tells me that a 1400HP EV sports car wonāt be considered...
Dealer @ 2,000 miles. This way they could inspect the car too and see if thereās 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 largeā¦my other car just makes a soundā¦thereās no lights blaring on the sidesā¦and the GT-R just doesnāt have a lane departure warning system of any sortā¦lol
Interesting. I only get the lane departure warning light. Even on fast roads. What youāre seeing appears to be a software glitch rather than an actual mechanical issue is my take. Hope the dealer has a patch resolution.
So Iām 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...
My take is itās half the price of a GT-R Premium, and about 30% of the price of a GT-R Nismo. Since it delivers ~more than half the performance of a GT-R Premium, itās price makes sense in the context of Nissanās sports car lineupā¦
Good questionāwhen does it activate ? Itās not clear in the reviews so far. Iām guessing itās when youāre flooring it and the RPMs cross a certain threshold. I believe in the 997 Turbo S there was an actual overboost button. Btw I noticed the Nissan slides refer to the GT-R engine as the...
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...
