I don't even believe I have to dignify that with a direct response. Grow up.


If anyone else has any more specific questions, please PM me.

He knows more of what's going on then you do.

So does anyone know what kind of oil the Z35 is going to use? Asking for a friend. Just lurking around...

In other news, my friend put my old car up for sale. He has since replaced the INGS side blades and replaced the front bumper with the new NISMO version. Looks great... and engine still stock :)

by far the best comment on the next (possible) platform to date.

well done sir. well done indeed.

'Twas a joke my good friend. I hope you're right I would not mind a nice refresh to the Z34.

:iagree:

:icon18:

After years of waiting for an overdue redesign, I sold my Z and bought a new camaro ss 1le. I decided that Nissan hates its customers.
The camaro has gone through several refreshes, a redesign, and another refresh, while the z has basically stayed the same. I wish that Nissan would choose to stay relevant.

How does the SS 1LE compare to the Z?

:pics::pics::pics:

The 1Le is worlds better than the z, but I actually still miss the z. Everything that it lacked are almost the very reasons that I loved it.

The 1le is still very much a Driver’s car. The downsides are that it’s hard to navigate around curbs and parking lots because there’s no visibility. Always worried about scraping my wheels. But it has so much more power and it is delivered more evenly. The z only made power up high, but the camaro makes something like 300ft-lbs of tq at 2k rpms. I’ve had it on a track and it’s so composed. It really is at home on the track or winding roads. It’s an amazing car.

You asked :)

Electric Z: Here's another dead horse that needs beating:

More useless Z rumor mill. Now saying both Z and GT-R will or may be ELECTRIC. It's just an abomination. Nissan is just writing themselves out of the enthusiast market. Turbo boost your GT-R. By purchasing a $3,000 battery pack??? Is this how it will be done.

Nissan you're lame. Seriously. This is not the Nissan of 2008. Shyt. It's not the Nissan of 2013.

FFS man, please tell me the rendering in that article is not supposed to be a next gen Z!

that rendering is 5 years old now.

just disregard 99.9% of "NEW" Z news you see.

Very Nice!!! :tup:

Nissan now saying. No Z35 for the 50th??? Who does that with a heritage car? Oh yeah. Nissan partner Mitsubishi.

Watch Nissan come out with a rebadged eclipse crossover as a Z.

This is so disappointing. I absolutely loved my 40th Anni Z and was hoping there would be something exciting for the 50th. I picked up a Infiniti QX50 when my daughter was born in 2017 and cannot wait to get back into a sports car. Probably won't be a Nissan though.

I didn't wait. I just jumped into something and I figure I'd revisit Nissan if they got their shut together in the future. The Z was amazing. My camaro is truly next level now that it's size doesn't hinder me anymore. And I'm contemplating either going up to a ZL1 or getting a corvette grand sport? But I want to see what the supra will bring as well...

JDM is dead. They consistently have to partner up with other car companies to split the cost of building a sports car and then they either, go the cheap uninspiring route or the overpriced I can't believe it's not butter route.

A partnership would be lame for customers, but would make financial sense for Nissan. In the grand scheme of things, the Z is insignificant to their bottom line. I appreciate Nissan want to continue the Z line, but I suspect it will come at the cost of a shared platform or a different setup (electric).

Did anyone hear about the 370z clubsport 23 using the vr30dtt motor?

You're late to the party.

Funny... more like I never come on here anymore due to the same old same old... lol

I didnt see anything in the last few posts ;)

At least the Heritage Edition made it to an assembly line...

There is another thread going on about it.

Before and if the Z35 is released (big/huge IF), Nissan will push a Z34 with a VR30DTT. I know.....'cause I'm Zoltar. The business reason: SUVs and crossovers. The body style is relevant. Add on modern day tech found in their staple sedans and you have a cheap, updated, and appealing sports car. There is no business reason to introduce a new-bodied 2-door sports coupe. The numbers don't lie.

Truthfully, I'm on board with this idea. Give me a Z34 from the factory with the VR30DDTT with an updated interior (along the lines of Nissan's Platinum Reserve offerings, perhaps?) offered with a manual transmission and I'm perfectly fine with that.

To me, that sounds like a significantly less expensive proposition than building a new platform and such. That way, Z purists get something new while Nissan can offer something more competitive in whichever segment Motor Trend wants to put the Z in.

If it's even possible that it stays within the same price range the Z currently sits, it's a grand slam.

I didn't think about this part, but it's possibly more expensive to allocate resources to VQ37 production... I think the Z is the last car using it.

What other Nissan product rides on the Z platform now? I️ know it had shared with the prior gen Q50/60 but those platforms where updated right? Maybe it would be more cost effective to move the Z over to the updated platform than to keep the old one around for just one car.

It depends, they have to get rid of the parts bin before move to a new frame and form. Doesn't make sense to do so when no one is really complaining about the current form.

Z35 Pricing Speculation
 

I have been looking to get into a 370z or 987.2 Cayman S but now it looks like the next gen z is coming. I want to wait to see pricing and styling before I commit to something. My fear is that the next gen z is going to be dramatically increased in price. My max budget would be 36k or so.

Where do you think the next gen z’s will be priced? I’ve read they may increase the price significantly to put it in a higher class. Could it be north of 40k or 50k like some suspect the RX9 and New Supra to be? I feel like beyond 35k they are alienating a lot of people who chose to buy 370z’s over luxury options. If it goes into that higher range, you have to consider buying BMW, Porsche, Lexus etc instead. I’d personally be priced out.

I know this is speculative, but what do you guys think?
