Just purchased this exhaust system from Z1 Motorsport, but I saw a couple websites titled it as MT only. Kinda panicking over it, since I am ordering it to ship it to China, return and refund will be frustrated to deal with. Can anyone assure me with a firm answer? Product code: B0100-RZ34S . Thank you!

BTW I am still having an issue with my washer fluid lol, it kept giving me the warning of not sufficient washer fluid on my dashboard, every time I drove about 15 mins. Please let me know if anyone knows the solution to that. Thank you!

Hello, if you are using a RainX style washer fluid, it coats the sensor and will not be able to read fluids. You need to remove the sensor and wipe with isopropyl alcohol and then use a regular washer fluid after draining current fluid.

There’s nothing listed on the NISMO website for 23+ street car back exhaust requiring it to be manual or automatic for it to fit. I’ve never in my days around Z’s seen where an exhaust system required a certain type of transmission to fit.

Awesome, then I should have nothing to worry about! Thank you for clearing that up for me!

No I don' think it will fit. The transition from downpipe to midpipe will interfere with the AT transmission

Happened on both Z33's, and I assume now it was the RainX. Haven't had to add fluid to my current Z yet, but I'll go for the generic stuff.
Thanks for the info!

This installation video doesn’t show anything I could see that would interfere with an automatic.



Here’s a photo of the area where the stock exhaust bolts into the flange on the right. This is an automatic, looking underneath the car, below the passenger door.

I also checked my VIN number for my Sport auto at the Nissan NISMO website and, for what it’s worth, it said it’ll fit.

I work at a Nissan parts center and the resident Z guy there with a 25 sport myself. I dug deep just to double check and can confirm there’s nothing that says it won’t go on based on transmission, shouldn’t be an issue at all since it has nothing to actually do with the transmission.
I know with Z1’s exhaust they actually tell you to choose the mounting hardware based on if you’re using a standard 370Z body style or a NISMO because the mounting points on the rear bumper will be different.
On the 23+ there’s nothing. So yep, dude should enjoy that exhaust for all it’s worth.
It’s on my list but my budget is hyper extended right now and yelling at me.

I ordered that part. With the exact part number back in 2024. I had to return it because it would not fit 2024 Nismo. I took photos.
But I have since deleted them. That doesn't mean that they haven't updated their hardware. But I went back and confirmed my order.

Oh I think I saw someone's review about it being able to fit 2024 Nismo Z 10 speed AT, let me pull up the link. He reviewed it this year though. https://www.z1motorsports.com/nismo/nismo/nismo-2023-nissan-cat-back-street-exhaust-p-36951.html

Thank you man for all the effort, will update on installation and sound check as soon as I get the exhaust! But hey eventually we all get what we want, just a matter of time. I am still craving for some nice WORK VSKF rims, but still can't afford themo_O
