Hi Dan, could you please tell us when production will start and when will we start seeing them in showroom floors?

Thanks

 

[vb22]

Dan, my question also has to do more with the production side. How many Zs is Nissan allocating for the US?

 

[Petemo94]

The most important questions of them all:

will there be a roadster? Or t-top/targa option?

 

[zeeder]

1. Will the new Z have a telescoping steering wheel?
2. Is there any difference in headroom for the new Z versus the 370Z?

 

[Captain_Kirk]

Since all the good stuff has already been asked... How hard was it get the Z35 approved while Carlos Ghosn was still in control?

 

[GerryZ300]

Thank you for allowing us the space to be transparent with our questions Dan. I have been a Z enthusiast almost all of my life (44 years young) and I believe that this is the most exciting and anticipated Z since the Z32 was released back in 1990. Does Nissan have any plans on offering a T-Top, Targa or 2+2 version? I also would like to see different color interior options like the GT-R. Will Nissan offer alternative interior color options in the new Z like red or tan?

I'm praying the steering wheel telescopes or I will have to look at another vehicle. Not a fan of driving around with my knees wrapped around a steering wheel.

Will the ECU be tunable? We all know people are gonna tune this car, i hope yall dont pull a c8 vette and make the ecu “untunable” lol

i assume the ECU running that engine will be the same or similar to the Q60 red sport. those already are able to be tuned using ecutek.

the greatest part about the Z taking so long, being a 370 underneath, and using the Vr30 which has been out for 4 years already, is that parts are ready to go. there's no long R&D delay for aftermarket with this car.

companies like AMS have ton s of parts ready to go and i already spoke with Tony at FI for an exhaust for mine lol

 

[240SX]

I'm shocked that no one has asked about pricing yet. Are we getting price tag tomorrow? If not when can we expect the MSRP to drop?

Thats dope, There’s gonna be some crazy fast builds out the gate! Im hyped!

 

[splatrd]

1. Will there be any options available a la carte, without having to go up in trim level? Like heated seats, leather seats, Navigation, etc.?
2. Will there be an online reservation program to lock in your place in line to preorder?
3. Once announced, will the Nissan website feature a build and price prior to order window opening in November? If so, when?

 

[jc604]

just need to know when it will hit nissan dealers + if all trims will be available minus the nismo of course

 

[gymratter]

what were some of the cars that Nissan used to benchmark the new Z against? follow up, from that group which one does Nissan consider to be the Z's top competitor or main rival?

thanks

Has their been any increase in inter cooler capacity
Which parts of the body are constructed out of aluminium ie doors, roof, hatch ect
What type of LSD

My 370Z Roadster is long overdue for a replacement! Since Nissan is targeting the likes of the 718, Z4 etc along with coupes... It won't be complete w/o a drop top....

Given that the 370 Roadster was launched over a year after the coupe can you give us any clues that a Roadster version (a true convertible not a "T", targa etc...) is likely and when??
