Excited for the full NISMO reveal. Last call for final HP guesses. I'm going to say 430HP.

415 is my guess. I heard the JDM is 420PS so that should work out to 415 if the source is correct.

I'm assuming Joe gets to do a walk around of the nismo tonight

Thanks for sharing. I really like the videos he's already made about the Z, so this should be fun, too.

Anyone have experience with the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT600? The ones on the normal Z are horrible, just wondering if this is a upgrade. Seems the best currently is the Michelin PS 4S.

Ok I guess I was right as they just kept the PS to HP through same

34 tq is a nice surprise

I've had the runflats versions on GTRs for 11 years I like them good grip and these are obviously going to be lighter than the 20" runflat version

My Z34 NISMO came with same tires. In my experience, they’ve been great, communicate road texture well, haven’t had any grip issues, plenty of confidence holding corners/sweepers. Only downside for me is they wear fast, <10,000mi

That said the new Z puts out over ~150ft/lbs more torque to the wheels than the 370Z so not sure how they will fair on the new NISMO

Thanks for the info, sounds like they are at least better than what comes on the normal Z. If they wear quick then I might switch to Michelin PS 4S.

Should definitely be an upgrade over the standard Z Bridgestones as these are proper summer performance tires.

Was also thinking of switching to the PS4S though once my current set wears out, to see how they compare.

I'd be interested in that comparison
