Own: G37s sedan, FX50, 370z (wife’s)..
Drove: tested multipleeee 7at 370z’s while shopping for the wife, older to newer, all low miles, Q50 loaner cars a few times, both 3.7 and 3.0t.

My opinion: The upshift is ok, at the right rpm and throttle it even feels direct and sporty. But the downshifts and kickdowns are glaring weak spots, just like any traditional slush box, slow and laggy, but I think that might’ve been contributed by the programming.

ZF8 is great, but it depends on the car manufacturer’s programming logic...BMW did great with it, while Jaguar didn’t do as good of a job allegedly. Great if Nissan can use this tranny, just don’t f up the programming lol.
Oh I c. So it's in the programming.

I watched some youtube videos, and they did mentioned about the downshift downside. When comparing other cars transmission

In part, yes. Example - The ZF8 in the F90 M5 behaves differently than in a X7. In the M disguise, it feels more direct like a DCT (in a good way). But in X7, it’s more buttery (also in a good way).

Pretty sure most are aware this is all just hearsay until something official gets announced. Doesn’t mean we can’t share what’s out there and be hopeful something might actually happen this time.

Ah. Thanks.

I will add that the Z looks good except for the rear end.
The fender flare flares out in a good way. Gives it a wider look compared to the 350. but it tapers in toward the bumper.
It's like having wide hips and unusually skinny ***.
It would been better if they kept the wide rear end in conjunction with the flared wheel well

Realistically, I see Nissan putting the Z into hiatus, like they did after the 300zx, shut down some trim levels on other vehicles, then bring the Z back about 2025 to 2030... :twocents:

Yep. Hard to believe they'd devote any resources to introduce such a low volume model given the sh##storm they're in currently.

my dad said, instead of buying GTR parts you should set money aside for a 2021 Z down payment.

i laughed for about 3 min and said prep the lifts for GTR work to begin soon lol

Definitely not good news but you have to look at the options re the Z. They can kill off a low volume car and take away one of the only exciting products the brand has or, they can do minimal improvements to the current car (TT motor, update exterior/interior) to at least point to something positive/fun in the line up. Recent rumors suggest the latter may be what they do. How do you turn around a brand if all you sell is look-alike, budget sedans and SUVs?

Isn't that what Hyundai and Kia do, on a regular basis?

tvfreakazoid 01-31-2020 01:28 PM
It's pretty sure they will bring out the revised Z.

My question is why didn't Nissan bother to revise the current Z at all and keep it somewhat updated? I mean if you take into consideration the Nissan Intelligent Mobility that is in every Maxima, Altima, etc., the blind spot warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, etc..why was NONE of this technology included in any of the recent Z models? Especially for the list price of Over $40,000? I mean how difficult would it have been for Nissan to AT LEAST keep up with the technology that is in their other lower priced vehicles and port that technology into the Z that cost 3x more!

I'm glad nissan didn't add a lot of that tech crap to the 370z. Just my :twocents:

Distracted driving aids do not belong on a sports car. Period.

Get a different car or learn to drive. Sheesh :shakes head:

I agree keep the "sports" look however a few "safety features" to save lives and for the sake of safety doesn't distract from the car at all. In fact most of the safety features in the Nissan Intelligent mobility package are transparent to the driver and don't hinder the vehicle "look" or "feel" of the car at all.
May even justify the current $40,000 + price tag!

Driving nannies encourage poor driving habits and distracted driving. People rely on them more than they pay attention these days. It is not a good thing.

This isn't about aesthetics. And they absolutely do hinder the "feel" of the car. When nannies interfere with my driving more often than not it's an unsafe interruption.

The most important safety feature sits on your shoulders. Use it.

unfortunately my friend these are the times we live in..teenagers on cell phones texting while driving, women trying to put on makeup on the way to work while driving etc...I see it every day...makes the NEED for these safety features in every car essential as saving lives especially the lives of others who are victims of these poor drivers.

JARblue 02-06-2020 02:53 PM
Meh... let Darwin sort it out, I say.

Put those nannies on soccer mom SUVs and such. Leave them off my sports car options.

Get with the times pal! Guaranteed the new Z (if there is one) is going to incorporate a lot if not all of these Nissan Intelligent mobility features.

Lets face it the Z is still and will always be a beautiful unique car that even though the design is 10 years old can still hold its own is uniqueness and pure sports car "feel" I LOVE the design of the Nismo Z! Hell it is one of the few true "sports" cars that you can still get with a manual transmission!!!! however every single Youtube review from Doug Mauro to Four Bros speed etc list the interior and stock power as the car's weaknesses
It's due for a power and technology update.

Making it a less desirable car. The current Z is one of few cars you can buy new that are not loaded with bloat

So..proven safety technology that could potentially save lives that could be seamlessly integrated into the vehicle making it transparent to the driver is bloat?

it's a sports car. if used correctly then safety features don't matter. typically dead on impact.

How much more "weight" do you think these safety features add?
If weight is your concern you can start with an aftermarket exhaust and go from there..
