Any rumors on whether the 2015 style will be the last one of its kind? Rumors that the redesigned "370Z" will come in 2016? Really want that black NISMO tech

need to get this thread locked because there have been 0 press releases and no confirmations from Nissan about a 'potential redesign'

all speculation.




so to help speed this along... did you know the automatic sucks? I heard that it drops ~17% of the flywheel power... talk about unacceptable!

Pretty much. Nissan is also rather good at keeping secrets these days.

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'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.

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

#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.

I'm sure hardcore Z owners would switch up for a 370Z with turbo improvement... but that's aiming for a niche group in an already niche group. Plus I've heard this RS version rumor ever since the 370Z was released, because the 350Z got an actual RS version (and then later the Juke). If it happens, great... but I wouldn't hold my breath...

Either way... just wait. The Z is not a car that's in low stock. The "rarity" of the 2015 NISMO is due to it just being released. American deliveries have only occurred in the last 3 months. Plus Nissan is being a little stingy with dealer allotments. Give it another 12 months. Won't flood the market... but there will be a good number of them sitting around, just like the 2014 NISMO right now. Plus all 370Z will get a huge price drop if and when the new Z comes out -- assuming you'd still want the outgoing model, after seeing all the goodies and love the incoming model will have.

Oil? I here there is great controversy on what oil to use? Is Dino oil sufficient?

Thoughts?

Not sure why the thread should be locked... lots of threads around that discuss things and rumors and speculation.

Hadn't heard it drops 17% WOW ! The auto in the regular Z has good reviews...wonder why it would be different for the NISMO.

I enjoyed your speculation and thanks.

You make some good points.

From what I've read--speculation--and seen--more speculation--I don't like what I'm hearing about the redesign. Smaller engine with possible turbo option to get the HP back up. And some of the sketchy ideas on what it will look like don't look promising...but that's all speculation.

Thanks for your lengthy reply.

because they all turn into a 'wishlist' of how each person wants their glove custom fit. Someone wants the frill, another wants lace, another wants frilly lace...

but more serious note, the auto's are getting more efficient in keeping the flywheel power (older mt vs at debates you could definitely attribute less loss on a mt) but now technology is evening out the field... i wouldn't be surprised if the 'new' model comes out without a manual like the ge-re-tard (i love it though...)
