Yes, I choose my words poorly. I guess I missing a car that I could take to the track one day and then take it on a road trip with my wife the next. If I put coilovers and sway bars then it becomes a track car which isn't comfortable on road trips. I have owned previous cars that the adjustable...
I have no regrets about purchasing the car. It has been fun, but I do feel that Nissan could have made the car better for not much more money. The suspension has been my biggest qualm. If it was adjustable, it would solve the 'I want to take it to the track and I also want a comfortable road...
I did a track weekend in February with my stock Z at the MSR Houston. I let a little psi out of tires prior to getting it on the track and removed the "Nissan" wheel hub caps. The brake fluid did great, not once did I feel any pedal fade or mushiness. Each session was about 10 laps. Leaving the...
That is a known issue I believe, mine does it sometimes, but not always. I seem to remember journalists at the launch press event saying the same thing, and I thought it was supposedly getting fixed. With your build, it should be fixed by now.
The brakes did amazing, I did 4 sessions a day for two days, probably about 10 laps each session and never had felt any signs of fading or mushiness. I agree on the tires, I have read several places the Bridgestones that come stock are not the best tires for this car.
By far the best asset on...
Performance. Yes, stock tires, they were ok, starting giving up when pushed hard. I think better tires and some sway bars would tighten things up. For this price point, it would be nice to have an adjustable suspension.
Did you trade in the Z for the BMW or sell it yourself? I am approaching the same point as you. I took the Z to the track three weeks ago and that is where its shortcomings really became apparent. Not that I am tracking every weekend, but the Z is a heavy car and only one suspension setting...
Hello all. New to the Nissan Z. Bought my Z Performance in May. The stock muffler sounded kind of anemic so I removed it and replaced it with some Takeda pipes. It sounds much better. However, when the engine reaches about 4600 RPM, the exhaust system vibrates and it is annoying to the ears. Do...
New to the site. I have a 23 Nissan Peformance in gun metal with the 6 speed. I bought in May from a small town dealer who I think didn't know what he had, so his mark up was minimal. Just got back from a 8 day trip to Colorado. During the entire 3700 mile drive I did not see a single one. Is...
