Offical Wild Z Sighting Thread

[mikecarpage]

I'd been out and about in Osaka for less than 30mins this morning and saw this.

so cool. I visited Osaka in 2023, hoping to see a Z in person while waiting for mine. The dealers I visited were closed on the days I went and I wasn't able to make it to Nissan Crossing. The Osaka car scene was dope

@mikecarpage I need to find these same events and shows. I rarely see other Z's in the bay.

Z next to a sign that shows how it grips with the S007s. ?

I'm joking, of course. This is a great photo! maybe edit out the stuff in the sky.

I live in Dallas, Tx and before I bought mine this year in February, I’ve seen 2 out in the wild,

1. the first one In 2023 on i635 going westbound it was a Proto
2. the second one I saw was in 2024 it was a rosewood and I saw it 2 or 3 times in grapevine while in class while working on transmissions and it drove by on lakeside pkwy and the other time I was in the parking lot and saw it drive by beautiful color pretty cool to have seen it.

3. After I got mine I saw a Ikazuchi Yellow driving on I35 northwest by the medical district
The last 4 I’ve seen have been while working
4. Saw one at work driving by on maple ave in uptown it was a gun metallic, sounded nice that’s what caught my attention
5. I then saw one at work at SMU I glanced over and saw the roof and thought “that looks like a 23+ z” and sure enough it pulled up to the stop sign and it was a black modded Z with a nice exhaust.
6. We got a heritage edition at work at the Omni PGA Frisco and they decided to park it in the VIP section lol, mine was parked in employee parking by the entrance so after I went out for lunch break I decided to park in the same lot that the heritage was parked in since we were done valeting cars and had a spot open that had one of those portable safety barrier but I could squeeze in there so I did lol
7. Saw one at work in the Omni Dallas parked in the valet garage, it was a 2024 performance 9A/T boulder gray with blue interior same spec I had originally Spec’d mine out in 2023 except with 6mt but ended up falling for the blue so I decided to look for blue on blue but could never find one with blue guts so I went with graphite interior

spotted my 2nd Z in the wild today- it been a couple of years since the first one .

Boulder gray looks to be local with standard in state license plate. He pulled into a local jeep dealership - maybe works there. Spoke to him as i passed him - said he loved it…. I was in my taco so he had no idea i was in the club. Did not get a chance to ask if he was on the forum.

Saw a 300ZX on the road today. ?s all around.

Met another Nismo owner at a cars and boba meet a few weeks ago at Lorton, VA. I didn’t take a pic but here’s a screenshot of his bagged Z from his IG.

Really strange. I haven't seen a Z driving around for months, aside from cars n coffee and club meets, but today now that I own one, saw a Bayside/Wangan blue going westbound on Imperial Hwy in Yorba Linda CA, no chance to take pics, sorry.

I was on a day cruise to cool off at the beach thru Santiago Canyon, Laguna Beach, Newport, etc.

 

[NocturnalEmber]

I've yet to see another Z around my area. There was one white one I saw about a year ago occasionally. I do get some nods on the road in mine, though.

 

[bpeckham]

Almost a month since the last post on this thread. No change for me. I've still seen only two: a Gun Metallic and a Heritage Edition. They are not common in San Diego.

The dealer near me has had an auto heritage edition for probably about a year now, no discounts on the window sticker, but I've seen a black one and a bayside both sell from that dealer before that one has. I'm betting if that was a 6MT it would have sold heavily discounted by now.
