Hello all!

Just picked up a Z Performance MT 6! It's a blast!

Traded in my dream car, a 2015 GTR. I drove it daily, rain, snow you name it, for nearly 12 years and 92,000km.

Looking forward to drifting my way to work in the winter!

congrats and welcome.
curious what you think about the difference between the two cars so far?

Thanks!
Still breaking it in. First impressions:
- It feels much smaller and lighter
- It definitely encourages more hooliganism. The GTR always felt nailed to the tarmac and it wasn't happy to let you slide around
- I love the design, inside and out. I feel like my 90's car fantasies have come true!
- I didn't realize how much I missed a manual trans! My last manual was a bug eye WRX so I'm a bit rusty. This rev-match feature is a cheat code!

Hi All,

I just picked up our Z and couldn't have been happier! I looked for a while to find this trim level with a 6 speed but found it!

This is with my wife when we first picked it up. I look forward reading and learning from all of you.

Hi all. I picked up a manual performance trim in passion red last Friday and love it. Already tinted the windows and will be putting on AMS cold air intakes and a Borla S Type exhaust in a week. Looking forward to the conversations here.

Good to see another Z in red.

Welcome

Me and you are in the exact same boat! My first Z is also a Nismo Z as well but I wanted a Z since I was a teenager (I’m 41) and now I finally have one.

Hello to everyone . I took delivery of my 26 Heritage Edition package in January. Nissan did a phenomenal job on this combination.

Formal introduction as new member.

New 2027 Performance Z, white two-tone w/ tan interior. Has dealer installed splash guards, lowered with Nismo coil-overs, all weather mats, Z caps, 20% rear / 35% side tint, PFF.

Arrived filthy via open shipping to CO from AZ (Nismo Nick for the win).

I'm coming from an 8-passenger Honda Odyssey, downsizing to 2 seats. I have a family with two young boys and will treat this as a second car - for split trips and special occasions. Will be interesting to see how we fair.

I’ve owned many sport cars but never a manual. Only manual experience is motorcycles, and limited. It’s day 2 and I’m already getting good feel for the basics - still not fluid on inclines but feeling more confident each trip.

Recently owned a ‘17 Audi TTs that was equipped with sport springs. My first impressions are amazing and mostly in comparison to that car. The Z feels larger and more capable on city streets.

Overall, thrilled with the purchase! Excited to enjoy a unique car and this community.

The Tan/Black interior trim looks fantastic on these..

It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since I picked up my 2006 350Z GT. Yesterday, I took delivery of my second Z. Beautiful car! Just wanted to say hi…

That tan interior is the only thing that could seduce me away from my 2024.

Welcome to NissanZClub.com everyone! Please feel free to say hello here and introduce yourselves.

I pick up my new 26 Sport Auto Z in a couple days, pearl white. Looking forward to picking it up. I never owned a Nissan before. We had a Datsun 240Z many decades ago, so the new Z brought back some cool styling cues. I've been a sports car enthusiast for years, and I am trading in my Subaru BRZ. My cars are pleasure use only, we store them for winter, so they are low mileage and I never drive them for work. They don't see snow and they don't go out in the rain. I love seeing my undercarriage bolts shiny, and no oxidation on aluminum parts wither, that is how my BRZ is and the next owner will be very lucky for it. I love the new Z, I know the Sport model is the cheap option and I don't miss anything from other models but I would have loved some bigger brakes. I would love to upgrade my brakes with a big brake kit, but I don't think much will work with the 18 inch Sport rims. I really like the Sport rims as I have always liked 5 spoke rim designs. I will add the front lip spoiler, but I will skip the rear trunk spoiler. I have ordered some small parts from the Zstore which will be cool add-ons. I will miss not having an LSD but the auto tranny should work fine without one and I am not a racer and I tend to drive on the slow side in city driving mostly. It would have been nice but I will do without I guess. I like the auto tranny, I've been driving stick for 40+ years so I won't miss shifting my own gears. I really like the exhaust that comes on the sport auto model, it is very similar to the Nismo design with the small muffler in the rear , and not having the large muffler of the manual models. I think it is a cool design.

I might get one to two months of driving before it goes into winter storage. Looking forward to being a part of the forums .
