Official Nissan Z Nismo Discussion / News & Speculation via Bestcarweb Japan

[orclean1]

Z will outperform the prior Z nismo and it should , that's progression .

 

[takemorepills]

I think the simple answer would be…ripped off.?

But why do you suppose this will be the case? Surely this would be a suicidal move

Just moves the needle that much further for the Z.

If the new Z Performance model can match or exceed the previous 370Z Nismo, then just wait for what the new Z Nismo could be.

Obviously with 400HP on tap, the new Z will beat the outgoing Nismo in a few metrics.....just gotta see how it is like to drive.

I told Nissan what i wanted in 09 for my 370z and i got exactly what i wanted. They found the car, they didn’t build it specially for me but they will find what u want if ur patient. I also did this in 2016 with my 4runner. I wanted a special color interior which was very hard to find but they found it for me never the less. Things may be different these days but for the guy that said they won’t build u what u want he’s prolly correct but they usually will find u what u want. That being said if they do come out with a Nismo I’m assuming their pretty much all the same so options won’t be a problem maybe just finding the right color. This would be my first nismo tho so maybe i am wrong about options but i thought nismos all came with the same goodies

I special ordered my Acura from the dealership since they didn't have manuals in stock. Took 2 months to arrive from Japan.

How would y'all feel if the upcoming Performance Z outperforms the outgoing Nismo? I'm not just thinking about 0-60, but roadholding, braking, "feel"...

The 370z Nismo is marginally better than the regular one, so the new Z will for sure outperform it at least on paper. The rest will be the real on track performance and car manners that 99% of the customers wouldn't even know.

The outgoing Nismo has 350 hp, incoming Z has 400 hp, albeit from a better tunable TT motor. But overall, from the suspension and handling standpoint I really don't see any big improvements, just mild tuning on spring rates, sway bars. It's mostly parts bin in those areas

I'm afraid the new Z won't be that much faster on a road course. It really needs a variant of adaptable suspension and drive modes (ESC, Traction control) to fine-tune the driver's needs. I think my PP2 optioned GT will still kill it on local tracks here. That Magneride is awesome as an OEM offering, also avail on the SS 1LE.

Guess we have to wait on what the Nismo offers...

Fair to guess this is the NISMO rumored to be shown at the Tokyo show?

Ok, so not related to the new Z. Thanks for clarifying.

 

[Houston.RZ34]

Nah, not related at all - I just like how the Nismo wheels look with Brembo brakes....

If that's the legit NISMO Z, the new bumpers and side skirts will take some getting used to, but they're not a bad start.

But what does it mean?

Also, not feeling the red katana sword.
