Hands Up all the Aussies

[ZZ2022]

That's not our Peter Brock.

Oh thought it might be him driving the new 2023 Nissan Z

Do you mean this Savage Geese video?

I appreciate those guys and the video quality, but it plays in part like a Nissan marketing video. (Which is alluded to in the comments.)

It's a nice video and they provide good info, but you'll want to consider the perspectives.

Before you accuse them of being biased towards Nissan, I recommend watching this review. I'm surprised Nissan even let them review the new Z. The fact that they did let them review it, and apparently well before anyone else, speaks volumes for the faith Nissan has in the new model.

I said SG has a certain perspective (like we all do). Focusing on the Z test segment for example, their review was mostly racing around on a track. I've never even been on a track (and probably won't due to the costs.) Conversely, I'm watching videos looking for info on cargo space/config, lol.

So people saying SG said this or that, and that's the bottom line on value, well there's more to it. That was the point I was trying to make. It makes sense to look at perspective and where people are coming from, to determine car/version/component value for individual customers.

No offense to SG, I watch a lot of their videos, they provide a lot of great info.

There has been a number of reviews including information about cargo space, and driving on road….you obviously haven’t taken the time to watch.

For the record they have been almost exclusively good…i know because I’m not a tracker either, and will be using mine for my daily, so I actually looked for them

Cargo space is IDENTICAL to the 370z. You can find them at many second hand dealers if you want to measure in person.

Hi All
Do we get the illuminated Z kick plate as standard on our performance model, thought I saw an aussie review that said yes as they are extra on the US version

Great question! I just scrubbed through all the videos of our demo car, none of them showed the door sills.

Though I did spot floor and boot mats! So here's hoping.

Yes, I know. I already mentioned looking at those reviews. In fact I already discussed in this forum months ago, increasing the cargo space area, if the new Z is similar to the 370Z under the cargo floor (which looks like it is). SG focuses on other stuff - you make my point for me.

I'm really not sure what the argument is here. Reviewers will have different perspectives on car/version/component values. Some will be like, oh man you got to get the Performance version. Others will think the Sport is a reasonable alternative. Some will be talking up the premium brakes, others will be testing backpacks and stuff fitting in the cargo area. It depends on the reviewer perspective, and as a customer keep that in mind, and what is for real important for your usage.

I can't stand this guy or his reviews.

The cargo space looks about the same as a 370Z, only this time no spare tire
Under the cargo mats looks same as my old 370Z, same sub, looks like they could have had a space saver tire in there

Yeah, I couldn't help but think that the installation of the sub in the space a bit of an out there move.

I know newer sedans/coupes are transitioning or have already from a full size spare, but not even a space saver is a bit wild. I suppose it balances out somewhat having a live reading of your pressures in the cab, but I'd feel a lot happier with a damn 5th wheel.

Bit of a damned if they do, danmed if they don't though, I guess.

Guess we will have to carry an automatic pump around to get us to the next tire place…I agree a space saver would be appreciated

From the few people that have shown it in US videos, it looks like it comes with one of those sealer pumps. The tools storage around the sub-woofer also appears to be just a hard foam, so it's likely you could just take that out and then be able to fit a spare tyre in the same manner as the 370Z - it might fit the 370Z's tool storage foam as well, otherwise you'd need a custom/third-party option.

There's really only two reasons why spare tyres are being left out in some places, both rather ridiculous:

• Saves the manufacturer some money.
• Lowers the weight, so the manufacturer can claim better fuel efficiency (to get around restrictive governmental laws in some places).

In some other places it's a legal requirement to include a spare tyre of some sort. (A little like Apple has stopped including a charger with their iPhone, but Brazil they had to include one. Apple also stopped including earphones any longer, but in France they had to until, a recent law change there.)
