Nismo vs. Sti

OptionZero

When I say dated, i''m not saying it's bad. Dude, I own a ******* Z after all.

But you can't deny the Z34 chassis has been around since '09 - getting into the 9th year of production. That's a pretty long time.

There's some obvious improvements I would like to see. They could shorten it a bit and get the weight down with even more aluminum - hopefully there's a way it can pull double duty with the G . . . i mean Q and still accomplish that.

The interior (at least on my Nismo) has some good surfaces, but still alot of cheap economy like plastic on the top of the inner door panels and dash.

The 2015+ Nismo has Recaros, but the Recaros are only the top half of the Sportser CS - wish they'd give us even more aggressive seats, at least as an option. They already have a relationship with Recaro using super hardcore seats in various GTR trims, and even the Juke has full seats IIRC

The CSC issue - still haven't fixed that damn issue and its nearly a decade

Lighter flywheel for better revability. I know they do it for driveability, but i can feel the VQ wanting to be unleashed in aggressive driving.

I suppose its more accurate the overall package should use more improvement.

People that are deeper into engine mods can probably speak more authoritatively on w what the VQ needs in its next evolution - or if Nissan has access to a better engine. The new Q uses a Mercedes Engine.

In an alternate timeline I wish there were more trim of the Z34. There's a billion variants of the GTR (black, track, premium, nismo, v-spec, blah blah)
Base version for entry
Sport with brakes and some cosmetic improvements/tech package for interior stuff
Nismo should have wider fenders, better brakes than the sport, or at least an option for a bigger package or brake ducting, exhaust/intake/tune upgrade, aluminum or carbon roof, aluminum or carbon hatch, option to delete interior stuff for weight savings, seam welded chassis. They'll never go so far as to stick a 500hp engine in there, but give us some more toys to play with in the options category.

At minimum they should make GTR seats and some fancy pants Brembos an option! Don't get me started on the ******** four colors available for the 2015+ Nismo. I would murder for the GTR Nismo's matte gunmetal color from the factory on the nismo z
