New Z confirmed by Nissan

I dont get this guy. He drove the 370 Nismo from UK and liked it. But now he rips both 350 and 370 lol. The guy got used to driving other people's powerful cars for a couple of laps. 

 

Dont expect Nismo to be much better although at 51k it better be. That stock car is dangerous

He's driving a US spec car and complains it feels sloppy.

 

US 370s were tuned to be softer than UK/EU cars, softer bound/rebound, softer anti roll bars, didn't get VLSD for base models, basic brakes not 4 pots etc.

 

Same deal with 400z.

 

He's a moron.

True, but the 370 Nismo was stiffer in the US than in the UK oddly. 
 

Sometimes, you have to wonder if all this tinkering that Nissan do is done by the work experience boy on a Friday afternoon.

I wonder if anyone thought to check that the transit spring clamp things had been removed 😂

I was actually looking around the 400 Nismo at GTR fest the other week, and its certainly  nothing to shout about. I would go as far as saying,I like the seats, that's about it, didn't even bother talking pic

Had to take a pic of this, really don't think I could put a tent on the roof a classic Skyline

I saw this on the comments. Its specced as a soft GT. So is that the sport spec not performance model?

 

Either way its Neeesan. I expect the current company has no real direction.

You can visibly see the suspension is soft and floaty before he even gets to the first corner.  My 370z with stock suspension was way better than that, the air ride it's on now with adjustable bound rebound is on a different planet.

 

Like I say, when I worked for PAG, BMW etc in the 90s and 00s it was standard to soften the US vehicles in comparison to UK/EU vehicles.
