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.

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.

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.
