what? it jumped 200 cars? had no idea. :oops:
The highest serial number saw a big jump, and there was an influx of about 80 cars last week. The serial number sequence has big gaps, presumably because cars aren't yet allocated, or the same space is used for non-US markets.

Still seems like small potatoes.

in the big scheme of things it is but I thought the production was going to end up in the 1800's based on what we were seeing. still very small compared to almost anything it competes with in the market

Basically nothing changes except what's avail on the Nismo. The 9AT-only offering could possibly be that the manual can't handle any additional power, albeit only 15 hp or so, but I'd guess Nismo will be modded/raced more so Nissan knew the limitations, and the 9AT is more robust. If it is PDK/ DC type I would mind less in today's world. I still want my 3 pedals, ugh!!!

Ive seen quite a few people with manuals who've added more than 15hp without issues. I dont think thats the problem. I think its simply a matter of lap times and manual was slower.

im almost 100% certain the reason for auto was to take advantage of and improve on the Sport Mode that manual Zs dont have. the NISMOness of the car is going to focus on the new sport mode + .... through sport mode you can adjust the engine response power steering feedback and VDC. a manual Z doesnt have any of this besides the rev matching

The steering response and VDC control are just software though. Engine response also. It would be easy to add a Sport+ mode to a manual if they really wanted to.

Agreed thats very true but when they developed the cars they left D-mode totally off the manual and just gave it a rev matching button so that bed was made a few years ago and I don't see them changing it. Manuals and Autos have totally different exhausts too I wonder if that plays a role in Sport mode even though there is no mechanical valve example

They weirdly didn't stick with Z tradition with cycling paint codes. Typically they add a color and remove a color.

there was something confusing about what was possibly a different yellowish orange(?) that seemed to be in the 2024 Z parts catalogue but it didnt show up on the order guide so im not even sure what it was. could be there is a new color and the material I have is incomplete or it was just something misleading with the parts. might have to wait for a press release here pretty soon to know for sure.

imo nismo only comes in Auto as the advertised numbers for a manual would be laughable. i think the manual is currently at 4.5 and auto at 4.3 0-60.... making a nismo in manual would probably drop the manual time to 4.3 and only match a stock auto... hard to justify the 10k price increase on that but thats just my opinion... plus like the 370z the manual guys will just buy the body kit and call it a day
