2027 MT Nismo Z POV

[Crownleyian]

Track days will do it! Got to do this upgrade, it's just very critical and convenient not to worry about starvation in sessions.

This is why I can see a court case incoming for Nissan if they don’t do a recall for at least the Z Nismos. You do not market a car like the Z Nismo as track capable, to have fuel starvation issues, don’t think people realise how dangerous it can actually be.

I can see that too...

This has been a problem since the 350Z. They have this disclaimer in your warranty.

"Damage resulting from racing, competitive driving, track, off-road and/or airstrip use is not covered by warranty."

The solution has been to not let the tank get below the half mark.

There will not be a recall or complimentary retrofit to previous years.

Unless... there is a class action suit...

Just drove my 2027 Nismo MT from AZ to Fl.
A couple of observations:
The manual gear feels like driving the V8's from the 80's & 90's.
The phone charger is crap... all it does is overheat the phone and barely charge it.
Driving through the worst roads in AZ & TX I would say that whatever improvements were done to the suspension, it worked!
The clutch is great; not too soft not too hard.
Haven't tried the other mods because just drove it home. I did change the oil in San Antonio once it hit 1,134 miles.
It seems as the inside of the doors did not get a clear coat when the car was painted. Could be me imaging it but, the paint looks and feels rough as it is missing the clear coat.
The tires/rims look smaller... are they the same size?

Anybody else has a 2027 Z that could confirm my observations regarding the phone charger?

The picture attached is at a rest area in TX.

Nice share and observations plus perfect long road trip getting to know your new Nismo MT. I wonder if the new manual is improved over the current manual, gearing and feel, and the clutch action.

I never liked those wireless chargers in cars and I knew this wasn't going to be an exception here. Is the suspension more supple or what because to me the 2024-26 Nismo suspension is the perfect amount of firmness and I would hate a more GT-like ride for it. I can't wait for my Z emblem to arrive

Beautiful car, congrats!

re: wireless chargers. The new one that Nissan revealed in the 2026 pathfinder is exceptional, as it holds the phone in a manner that keeps most of the phone with an air gap below it. No overheating and charges fast. Shame they did not put this new design in the Z.

It has definitely been improved. My first Z was a 2024 Performance MT which I swapped for the 24 Nismo.

It can be harsh but a little bit forgiving... imo.

Today for the first time I took the white gloves off, turned the Sport mode on and...
Oh-My-Goodness...
This thing is way faster than advertised...

How about the front end feel with the lighter rotors and retuned steering?

I could notice the re-tuned steering. It feels better. The communication to the driver is fantastic. The suspension feels a little bit more forgiving. The breaks are powerful.

You think that dropping a subframe and installing a new tank is good news?

Fuel tank EZ34 price: MSRP: ~USD $1,096
Fuel Pump: MSRP USD $740
Labour: USD 1,100 5h give or take.

Thanks Nissan!

Question is, where did they add the baffle to prevent starvation. The tank or the pump? Maybe it was said somewhere online and I didnt see it...

If its the pump, easy swap. No need to replace the tank.

I know on the E46 BMW M3, the baffle was on the fuel pump. They sell the baffles separately and didnt have to buy M3 spec pump. I had installed the baffle on my E46 330CI stock fuel pump and it resolved the high Gs starvation on track.

It has definitely been improved. My first Z was a 2024 Performance MT which I swapped for the 24 Nismo.

Suspension question related to Daily and not Track use.

Was the difference going from Perf to '24 Nismo good or bad in ride quality?
Same question for '24 Nismo to '27 Nismo?
