yes but then new at a dealer you'll pay 95-105k USD....you still want me to convert that into CAD? lol silly Canadians.

see the way my bank account is set up, i have a checking and a savings...

:rofl2: :rofl2:

actually it was only 108 for regular and 118 for black edition... apparently we don't get the nismo version (maybe we can custom order)

SUCK ON DEM APPLES!

i don't pay dealer prices :tiphat:

and the nismo is around 150-160K USD.

lol i can only imagine what the nismo CAD would cost. but even if you came up here to buy a regular version (or even used 2014 black edition under 10k miles for 94 cad) you'd save some money... until they realize what you did at hte boarder and BOOM. you're done. duty!

so much for free trade. :roflpuke2:

......free sex slave trade? or how's this work?

:bowrofl:

The Honda CR-Z is hybrid with a six speed manual. While not a turbo a supercharger is available.

With all the R&D Nissan did on the Syncro-rev match manual technology I doubt they would ditch it on the next generation Zed.

Oil changes are pretty regular. The usual Mobil 1 0w-40a and filter. Nothing crazy. The brakes will last you a good while depending on if you track. It's only when your out of warranty, mod the car (bolt ons are acceptable; no turbo upgrades, etc.), and drive it hard all the time is where it costs a lot. I've had my fair share of experiences with the GTR. It's a great car, but the Z is a different driving feel all together. Definitely two different cars.

Back on topic, I hope the really bring out something worth waiting for. Back in 09, I thought the upgrade to the VQ37 motors were pretty good, but I still don't get how come they haven't changed anything for 6 years straight in regards to the power train.

Its getting there....2016 nissan z car turbo concept release date | Asistcars.com

See the other Q60 thread in this forum

Was that article translated? That was one of the most poorly written articles I've read in a long time. Whatever happened to grammar? :shakes head:

That said, I am excited to see something concrete from Nissan about the next generation Z :tup:

Why was there a Civic on the article? Yeah, that was a badly written article.

"It’s rumored that this powerplant might use a hybrid system similar to Honda’s Integrate Motor Assist (IMA) system. That basically means that the electric motor will be fitted between the engine and transmission"

probably why that pic was in there.

It does not even have an author credited to it, so I just figure it's some sloppy cut and paste Search Engine Optimization designed to attract traffic and nothing else. There is literally nothing in that "article" that I have not already read elsewhere, except for the price -- that is outlandishly low compared to all other guesses.

And Nissan would never rename the next line of Z's to its codename. Since Infiniti used to measure the displacement of the engine in their models using G37, G35, FX45, etc. That would give some buyers the impression that the Z had a 3.5 litre engine.

They need a damn sun roof option, or at least a glass roof for the new Z. They also should design it like the S30, I know the Z34 has distinctions of the old Z (the windows mainly) but it would be cool to see bucket headlights again haha :D Oh, and a twin turbo!

I remember the rumor of a targa top circled around for am inute. I hope that is an option.

I hate the Z33 and Z34 convertibles. just ruins the shape of that amazing body. now if you throw it back to the older Z's with the T-tops or a targa top then that would be sweet. still has that iconic shape but you can have a little sky as well.

T Top FTMFW :yum:

t tops would be cool but I think i'd prefer the targa or like how the vette has the detachable roof and whatnot.

Yes sorry... Targa top > T-top. I would be happy with either one. I completely agree with you on the roadster models.

:tiphat:

Could be a good thing if Nissan employs a similar system to IMA. The hybrid Honda CR-Z is available with a supercharger and a six speed manual transmission.

With all the R&D money Nissan spent on Syncro-rev matching manual technology I don't see them abandoning it for the next gen Zed.

I wouldnt write it off just yet. The article, albeit, poorly written "engrish" does follow suite with what the new Q60 is getting. I think it has merit and very excited about a 400+HP Targo top Z with additional electric motor.

I might have missed this, but what's the typical time differential between G and Z -- one year?

Meaning, does a 2016 Q60 imply a 2017 Z35 at the earliest?

Mine will be about paid off just in time then...

if it follows the timelime of the G37 and Z34 then yes it was a year between the two.

i hope it's 2 lol more money will be saved up then :rofl2:

the convertible Nismo Z34 looks better than the regular convertible Z34 but still not good for my taste :/

I don't belive there will be a next Z. At least not for a few years. We might see a hiatus from the Z line like we did after the Z32. At least that's the inside scoop I've got. Milking this Z34 body is exactly what was described to me over 2 years ago by inside folks at Nissan. 2016 should be the final year, as the Nismo convertible will be a one year only type deal for '16.

If the Z gets put on hiatus, Nissan will just have the soon to be crazy expensive new GT-R and no other performance offerings? That doesn't seem like a good idea since that's one of the few things separating them from Hondas and Toyotas now, the performance.

Serious?! But everyone is guessing there is a new one after the new Q60 debut.

Isn't that how it works?

I can see both sides to the argument. At the end of the day Nissan is like any other car company that's trying to sell units for $$$. Their current Z sales are dismal, but there's still a chance they will offer a new Z that's both competitive and profitable. Performance cars are on the rise, everyone's got cars putting out lots of power and great handling. If Nissan doesn't at least give the Z one last try they are marginalizing themselves and the brand as a whole. The GT-R may be their super car but the Z is everyone's sports car.

I were to hate it if it was everyone's sports car. Ewww! That what Infiniti is for!!

Lol I want a new sports car only I can own!:icon18:

they seem to be up gradeing juke Nismo for 2016 maybe this is there low cost hotrod for now

I have never been able to figure out exactly what the Juke is supposed to be :p

If Nissan were smart, they'd focus more on the Versa (Note) and less on Sentra. Hot hatches are really popular internationally, but I really have no idea what kind of person buys a performance upgraded Sentra, that makes no sense to me :confused:

Z should be their money maker in the performance line though. If that means offering multiple engine packages in the z35 I am all for it. Mustang has 3 different engine configurations now, including a turbo-4. The successor to the z34 really needs to try and capture different market segments like its competitors are.

TO make the Z a worthwhile investment for them, they should definitely have several trim/engine levels to sell more units. They could have one that slots just above the frs/brz, then one that is a m3 fighter.

Can't be anything close to what service for Harleys is. I never came out of a service under $500 until I clued in. Did all my own after that. I've always preferred to do everything myself anyway. If I screw something up I can live with it. When I pay stupid $$$ only to have them screw something up I'm not very pleased about it. If I want stuff messed up I'll do it myself, thanks. I'm paying you to not screw up.
I never let them wash my bikes either. The last straw was when I got a bike back covered in greasy hand prints. I was told that's what you get when you don't let them wash it. Really? A fu^^ing ape wouldn't make that big a mess.
Spent over an hour out in the parking lot getting the bike back to where I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen on it.
One thing I will say....despite the misconceptions floating around out there, all the Harleys I've had have been absolutely bulletproof. Tremendous build quality and NOTHING turns heads like 'em. My 370 is absolutely invisible by comparison. My last Harley would turn more heads on one ride home from work that ANY and ALL non-Harleys I owned over time, combined. I mean, serious thumbs up ever where you go.

104

Harley's won't turn heads here unless it's a full custom build. Their a dime a dozen here. And don't get me started on cam failures on the 88's. :mad:

If that is true, I may be back in a Q or Z in 2yrs.
