Well here’s one, Grand Junction CO, Perf not Proto. I ran out of the rental car office to take this shot. Counter person knew what I was doing, commented he hardly sees these Zs, admiring😁

Hello, I’m from GJ, I live near 30 and D road. I’m picking up my Gun Metal Grey Sport next week in NJ. My cousin works for Nissan Corporate and I bought his ā€œcompany carā€.

The drive home should be a ball, Glenwood Canyon is calling my name. LOL It’s great to know there are several Z owners in such a small town!!

Actually I saw this while on vacay there and ran to take photos of it, still amazed how few Zs are seen on roads still. I'm in So CA by the way :) Enjoy your road trip from NJ, post pics and trip experience.

I’ve wanted a set of black NISMO LMGT4’s since I got my Super Black 350 in ā€˜03. Still like them…Classic…they just don’t have enough dish, a little too flat for me.

2023 Z Performance 6MT Blue/Graphite
Two years, four months after getting my Z, I've now seen three on the road.

You never forget your first.

OMG! OMG! OMG! I finally saw another Z in the wild. It was a Gun Metallic west bound on Sorrento Valley Blvd around 8:55am.

Of course you never see the car you're driving, but the Z looks quite nice rolling down the road. First time I've seen that live.
And this was fun because it was a Heritage.

Two years after buying my Z, I've now seen a grand total of two (2) Zs in the wild.

Today I spied a New Sight Orange Heritage Edition heading eastbound on Miramar Road (near Commerce). I was so excited I wanted to flash my high beams, but then I realized I was driving my wife's car, and it would just be...weird.

Any forum members or Miramar Road in San Diego today?
And today around 11am at Poway Road and Pomerado, I saw an Ikazuchi Yellow turning from eastbound to northbound. I was behind it, and it was too far away to see if it was a Proto Spec or some other trim. Any club members in Poway this morning?

Saw a gray perf yesteday. So I have now seen:

Black sport
Black perf
Yellow perf (possible proto, didn't get a good look)
Gray perf
Blue perf

Potentially two different black perfs. I know some Nismo's have sold here but have yet to see one. They were on the lots for a long time so maybe sold out of town.
Add an orange Heritage Edition to the list. Saw it coming off of an exit ramp onto the road I was driving on.

Man those things are nice looking in person.

Are we counting Z's in the wild including car shows, events, cars and coffees? If so, I've got to bump up my counts after ZAAR, a bunch of new Zs present at our OC to AZ leg. If not counting those, then my count still stands at 4, driving around and random parking lots, which I like, the rarity!

My opinion is that we don't count Zs at dealerships or car gatherings (where you might expect to see a Z). Only count "surprise" sightings out on the road or in a parking lot.
