MC's 2023 Z

[MHockey17]

hmm yeah it does say adjusts the "flow" but I literally got up under the car around the muffler with a flashlight and didnt see anything like an actuator that would open or close anything and no wiring where the sport button could adjust anything. the newer GTRs ( 2017+) has this where at low RPMS exhaust gas only comes out of one side of the exhausts then at 3500RPM it opens up.. but its electronically controlled to the point where if swap out the exhaust and dont put a dummy override there it will throw a code.



now on the Z it could be something purely mechanical in the piping that is controlled by just the exhaust pressure itself as that would meet their criteria for "flow" adjustment. ive never seen pics of it or anyone really discuss it. the sound in sport mode is also 100% artificially amplified

Oh ya i could imagine something like a pressure valve of sorts in the muffler assembly or the crossover pipe design that passively changes flow at high RPM, but I just spit balling here.

Feels a little gipped that they go to all the effort of simulating a dynamic “sport” exhaust instead of just building a real one, though kind of moot point since most enthusiasts who care about exhaust sound are going to swap for a better sounding aftermarket setup. Would be nice if Nissan starts offering their NISMO track/street exhausts as a warrantied, dealer-installed option.

I forgot the Z's doors arnt magnetic. with the curvy body line there isnt many great places to stick your track #'s

GTR had plenty of space

For those wondering ....my license plate is full chassis code for the Z with a 9M-ATx auto transmission. Nissan recently changed/added the prefixes in their sports car range to distinguish between transmission within the chassis line up

3BA-RZ34 Manual Z
4BA-R35 Dual clutch GTR ( replaces CBA / DBA designations in 2020)
5BA-RZ34 Auto Z
