dont worry im not done .. i saw your numbers and mods before i went to aam to get tuned . i was hoping to be right there with you but i kinda figured the nismo r would hold me back a few hp . i picked it up for 350 bucks so kinda hard to turn down . eventually ill prolly go with the aam exhaust .. right now im in the process of getting the sus on the car and getting the body together .. my stillen bumper and shine spats are with my painter now . also got a set of evo r carbon side blades and im trying to get aerojacket to return my message so i can pick up a type 3 carbon spoiler . after the sus and the body im thinking of some long tube headers and possibly a motordyne intake . down the road a year or 2 ill be building the trans on boosting the old girl but for now staying na .

as far as changing the car for 2016 i think they might . they usually go 6 to 7 years as far as a run on a body and the 370 is pushing that now . the z32 had a little longer run in japan but not here .

z31 83 to 89
z32 90 to 96
z33 03 to 08
z34 09 to ?

id like to see a new chassis . they have always moved forward in the right direction when they release a new z .

Personally -- and this is my opinion -- I think Nissan will keep the current 370Z NISMO for another year, so they can milk that last bit of $$$ for whatever it cost them to make that new bodykit -- and give additional time to develop the upcoming new Z design.

I agree - I think we have another year or two for the Z34 platform. I will say what I can to avoid getting in trouble.

1) Remember the G37 Coupe? It came out in 2008, developed on the same FM platform as the Z34, which debuted in 2009.

2) The Detroit Auto Show is in January, which will debut the Q60.

I've read unconfirmed rumors -- mostly from this site -- that a Nissan rep claimed there would be a final RS version of the current 370Z NISMO with an actual engine modification. Personally I don't believe that will happen because:

#1: It will increase the cost of what many already consider an expensive overpriced sports car.

What if it shares components with another vehicle and doesn't have to increase costs as dramatically as you think? Say, it shared an engine with another vehicle or two?

Quote:

#2: The HP boost won't be better than what someone could do with aftermarket products for the same price increase.

What if it's not just about the HP boost that you would get, but the tuning potential for the overall package? Say, the car was boosted from the factory?

Quote:

#3: The boost wouldn't be impressive on paper to mainstream American buyers, because of the "HP War" that's getting a lot of market attention.

What if it's right in line with other offerings for a similar price point with similar power?

All I'm saying is... keep an eye on the upcoming Q60. History does indeed tend to repeat itself. Remember - the 350Z got a version of the HR motor before the full redesign of the motor debuted in the next gen G and Z.

A few inches trimmed here and there. Base engine will be the same VQ37VHR with around 350 HP. Again, just my own speculation.

I agree... base engine. As in other offerings in the pipe. Dig it.

It looks like the Q60 will be out October 2015 and the Z will be out the following year. Maybe June 2016?

awk... I thought the q60 was relatively new? I already see infiniti selling them

evil370z · 11-24-2014, 07:17 AM

OP , i went and looked at the 2015 white nismo tech and pictures don't justify how ******* beautiful that car is. I'm getting it in manual this month. Can't wait.

They are selling the Q60, but in its current form, it's a rebadged G37 so it matches the rest of the Infiniti naming scheme that DeNysschen introduced during his 5 minute tenure of ******* Infiniti up before going to Cadillac.

mishuko · 11-24-2014, 10:47 AM

Ah! Sorta like bmw rebadging. Spend more money on marketing and forgot the r&d

nissan needs to stop relying on decisions made by these misc euro folks.

bruddahmanmatt · 11-25-2014, 10:47 AM

As of right now the only thing I see on the order sheet that's different is a color, Midnight Blue (RAA) is set to be replaced by Deep Blue Pearl (RAY). Trim Levels and Options appear to be carrying over right now for both the Coupe and the Roadster.

FWIW on a side note the GT-R will be getting a "45th Anniversary option" for '16 but I'm not sure what that entails.

A higher price tag.

At the risk of making a double post:

No export for you!

This thread could be renamed Split personality thread. A fun read I must say. I can't believe another speculation thread like this has lasted.

How much are you paying for it?

Also, you totaled a 213 sports package but where did it get the leather seats and permission interior. I thought the interior was black!
