The pricing of the Nismo probably won't affect sales.

Look at how few Z's were made for 2023. They'll sell every Nismo they'll make because they won't make many.....

If Nissan produced 10k Nismo Z's in 2024, then yeah, they'd definitely have a tough time moving that many

My uneducated guess would be even if total 2024 Z production jumps to say 3K up from about 2300 last year. NISMO would be under 500? maybe under 400? Its already on restriction for new November allocations. cant be over 20% of production I wouldnt imagine

So, am I the only one upset that Nissan was hiding a whole ass VR35 motor from us and they are slapping it in the SUVs?

I don't know anyone that would pass up a stick shift VR35 powered Nismo Z.

I was just about to make a new thread about this news. but yeah VR35DDT is real 450HP and 515 TQ.

not sure if a Z application is feasible for nissan but I guess just for fun I could hypothetically see a Z NISMO RS kind of like how the 380RS was.

Missed opportunity to go 4 litre so I can stop correcting people when they ask about my 400z lol.

Even worse, Nissan killed the Titan then announces the SUV application of this engine.

Why not give everyone a little VRTT love?

VR30 Frontier Pro-4x
VR30 base Titan
VR35 Titan Pro-4x
VR32 Nismo Z

Nissan is lost. At least they keep sending me emails about social justice..... At least they take something seriously....

As a Nissan Guy at heart, it really is heartbreaking.

Yes, give us a NISMO RS! I'd put a deposit today!

The 3.0 is already a square setup, I wonder if they bored it, stroked it or both to get 3.5L. In either case it’s just a heavier engine without much benefit. The biggest issue with the 3.0 is the headifolds, they’re not that efficient if you keep adding power. You can’t add bigger and bigger turbos to the same size exhaust and expect to make more hp as efficiently. Since this is a VR engine, it suffers the same drawbacks just in a heavier package. Might as well just tune the stock motor to 500 hp and call it a day. I’d love it if they made an “Eau Rouge” Z and stuffed the 3.8 in it with a sequential.

Z NISMO and other 2024 Zs have gotten a $155 price increase to their window stickers.

Just wondering if you have had the same issue with the hood rubbing the paint that you had with the performance model.

no as you can see where the hood sits higher on my 24 so it will clear when opened. Actually on the driver side its higher than the A pillar garnish but on the passenger side its even. However on my 23 the hood sat slightly lower so I think the issue on the 2023 was a unknown run of them where the hood was set too low at the factory
