Savagegeese says 2023 Nissan Z is amazing

[because_murica]

Will do!

Just need to find a back road Matt ?

(Could even give us top speed in 4th ?)

 

[DevonK]

And front and rear sensors which will also greatly help

I wonder whether the parking sensors will detect these nasty little bastards....be great if they do.

Will do!

More interested in if the Z does not have nasty oversteer, which is hard to tune out. Thx!

Jokes on you, I never even drove a RWD car, my daily is a Sentra and I'll be in my Z loooong before you ?

I'm enjoying my modded 370 right now so I won't be getting ripped off by dealer markups since I don't need a new Z right off the bat. Good luck finding one! Availability will be low.

Start backing into your parking spot - problem solved.

Agreed. I wouldn't dream of pulling into a spot head first in my Camaro. No sensors needed, I would instantly know if I'm too close ?.

The front sensors in my husbands Honda do….be disappointed if the Z does not

The parking sensors on my Q60 will detect them.
However, you gotta understand that the beeping will speed up, but never go to solid tone (like something directly behind/in front of the bumpers) and if the nose/rear of the bumper goes over the curb the beeping immediately ceases (just don't let that happen). It is very useful to prevent dragging on the curb top.

I'd be shocked if it had corner entry or mid corner overseer, this thing will likely have a ton of weight over the nose with the big TT engine and its associated cooling. I'm willing to bet it'll push a fair bit in factory form, hence why I'm praying there is some decent adjustability in the alignment.

The TT setup overall only weighs 50-ish pounds more than the VQ setup did.

And I believe the Z34 is based on the FM design, where most of the engine weight is behind the front axle.

I thought I read somewhere awhile back the engine is mounted a little further back on the new Z compared to the 370, but can't remember where I read this.

@MattMaran, here's an easy thing to check for in your time with the car: Does the new Z produce a highly obnoxious, deal-killing amount of wind buffeting when one or both windows are down?

That'd require a structural change to the chassis, which Nissan didn't do, hence why the chassis code is still Z34

If this (https://www.motor1.com/news/563715/2023-nizzan-z-weight-order-guide/) is true then it looks like curb weight went from 3333lbs to 3486lbs in base trim, so its gained 153lbs. I was assuming the bulk of that was coming from the TT setup.

i dont know i did napkin math from the weight of the engine both vq and vr i saw a few places mention the TT was 400 plus pounds just the engine , took the engine weight out the 370z and put in the weight of the TT and it was 36ish and change
