Nismo Z prototype spied testing in the U.S.

[MCN1SMO]

the front cross grill splitter almost feels like an evolution of what was seen on the 370Z S-tune

It looks pretty close to this old mock up

Definitely looks more aggresive than the current one. I wish Nissan would've been this creative with the front end on the regular Z model. I'm sure a lot of folks will be buying Nismo front bumpers and swapping it with the current Z front bumper like many did with the 370Z.

Looking forward to the official reveal.

im hearing the reveal is coming way sooner than most expected. im supposed to be meeting some NISMO higher ups this weekend. going to try to get some more info but not sure what I can and cannot post.

some of our Australian members can chime in on this but apparently there was a meeting with Nissan and the dealer network there last week. apparently dealer reps were told that the NISMO would be available by years end

I still cant tell if these NISMO wheels are 19" versions made just for the Z or they are literally using the 20' off the GTR

here is what these wheels cost from Nissan in 20" version by the way

I had a guy on GTRLIFE get a killer deal on these and they were still 1700 each

Ya that’s freakin outrageous ..

And if they are indeed going to reuse the Dunlop Sport Maxx GT600s I know from personal experience with my NISMO Z34 they are ~$400 per tire, and have worn out (for me atleast) in less than 10,000 miles; may actually be more accurate to call it “NISMO tax” lol

Nevertheless, I’m doubtful they gonna sell a Z with wheels that expensive, which makes me think these are 19” variants that will cost less

my NISMO GTR has the Sport max also but they are the special NISMO NR1 run flats. on -2.0 camber they last about 7K miles on average for the fronts non track use. my fronts almost corded at 3500 miles with year of autoX and 3 track days.

Damn , is that the stock alignment specs for GTR or you runnin more camber for track? I’m sure with the extra weight, power, n AWD the GTR really beats the shit outta the tires lol

I dont know the stock 370Z specs off hand but idt they’re that aggressive; the rears typically wear first, probably will be the same on new Z

for the NISMO yea -2.0 is the alignment spec. for the regular GTR it has the option of like -1.8 for track alignment and -1.4 for street. the difference on wear is minimal. its the weight and AWD combo that grinds them down.

Didn’t realize that was an option for GTRs; stock suspension has the adjustability range or diff factory parts?

stock suspension can be adjusted
