That also goes on the new Nismo as standard? Im guessing 6 Pot Brakes up front? Looks are deceiving it looks an inch bigger than 370 Nismo brakes. Z1 probably have a deal with Nismo to supply and sell them They're Akebono 4 pots up front with 15inch rotors. 1 Quote

GranTurismoEra Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 I think since the announcement it wasnt coming to the UK, interest has waned completely. Hopefully the German tuners etc will make some content with theirs over in Germany. In Germany apparently some Nissan dealers are looking to import them depending on whose insane enough to put 70-80k down on one. Dealers are looking to make profit from running around. 1 Quote

GranTurismoEra Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Nissan Australia has confirmed the initial batch of 100 Nissan Z Nismo sports coupes sold out within an hour of orders opening to the general public. That was back in August at 94k aus dollars 1 Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 The manual transmission version has curb weight of 1,604 kg (3,536 lb) and the automatic transmission version has a curb weight of 1,634 kg (3,602 lb). The Nismo version is 1680KG Quote
davey_83 Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Clearly they have the taste for a Nismo RS, so tad more power and a manual box 👌😁 1 Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Spotted on the Nurburgring by Instagram user. No idea if this is a tuners, dealer or indie?! Could be Nissan themselves. Well if you really want something...... Edited October 26, 2023 by GranTurismoEra Quote

A base could be had for 30k right now from USA before shipping and fees lol. 43k by the time it lands lol 1 Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 There's a few written off. This colour was one of them. Jdm market struggling to get there's. I saw a guy moaning that because he lacks clout hes still waiting over in Japan. Quote
McG Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 Liberty Walk just unveiled their body kit for the new Z. Real old school 240Z vibes with this. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy8iPYJB0Wy/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 1 Quote
ilogikal1 Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 Ridiculous suspension and tyre stretch aside, that surprisingly doesn't look any worse than the standard Z. That is not a compliment. Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 It's been a few years since the reveal. Thought you'd be used to the look by now. 3 years... 1 Quote
ilogikal1 Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 If it was ugly 3 years ago, it shouldn’t surprise anyone to discover the same thing, unchanged, is still ugly 3 years later… 2 Quote
Ekona Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 In fairness, and I’m actually being genuine on this, maybe it’ll be like the Bangle BMWs and many years down the line we’ll actually appreciate it more? Cos it’s not horrendous, it’s just not stunning. Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 You're still saying the same thing 3 years later lol... We got over the look at the reveal in 2020. By now we already know it's not a looker. They only gave people what they asked for. The records got a scratch in it...... 1 Quote
ilogikal1 Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 Strap yourself in, I've been saying the 370Z headlights are ugly since 2008. 1 Quote

Good thing you're not the word on the streets. No ones ever said that and I've had 3 of them. Infact the Nismo gets a lot of compliments from general public young kids to old folks. Hard pressed to find a better looking car under 30k. Even up till today people still take pics of my mates Nismo mark 1. I dont think it would have made a difference which way the new Z went. Im 100% sure you wouldn't have anything positive to say. As you haven't since 2018 regarding this new Z car. Sorry not everything can look like your run of mill. Because if it did it would be a copy of...... 2008 that's cute....was the glass half empty then. I take it you didn't buy a 370 then...Lol 1 Quote
ilogikal1 Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 I’m honoured my opinion matters so much to you. Quote
