[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

brucelidat

Don't have the answers to those questions, but ti was the 400. They were supposed to have a 300, but fell through.

I'm actually curious about the fuel system now that you brought it up. I'm curious what kind of room for power gain is left on the stock injections/pump? That may be an initial mod along with breathers if the injectors are close to max from stock

This new engine is also direct injected isn't it?

Jordo!

Good call -- it is Infiniti Q50 Reviews - Infiniti Q50 Price, Photos, and Specs - Car and Driver

That probably means shelling out for the 400 bhp model is cheaper than swapping out everything you'd have to to make the 300 hp rated version up to the same spec, especially if you have to pay a shop to do all the installs.

Oh well...

Like I had said about the cats being primary and secondary on the Juke, the Juke is also direct injection. Different engine I know but until recently there were only two engines in the U.S. that came from Nissan turbocharged from the factory, the Juke and the GTR. They actually revised the MR16DDT in 2015 making modding harder to do, including having the turbo and recirculator built in the same unit. In the beginning you could upgrade that, now you can't without doing something to the turbo too. This is why I bought a Z, when my Juke is paid for, depending on the modding capabilities of the new Z, will either upgrade or the modding bug for my current Z will take hold.

Please show me where you saw those specs. On this page weight is still blank. Those sound like AWD numbers to me... the awd g37 was 3900lbs

Actually the last gen car in coupe for was 3,834lbs. In AWD

RWD was 3,633lbs.

Select the Red Sport 400 and scroll down to dimensions. curb weight = 3862.

There was no curb weight listed the last time I checked either, but it's there now.

Guess that's similar to what the G weighed so I should have expected as much.

There goes the 3,400lbs they were touting as a concept. If the Z stays on the same platform? It will probably gain 100lbs as well.

All I know is.... if Nissan don't show and prove? I'm buying Murican

Yea but a Z at 3400lbs and 400hp with a very easy bump to 400whp with just cbe and secondary down pipe from FI it could be sexy.

I mean a z51 vette has 450bhp and weighs 3450lbs stock soooo

Nissan better show n prove. I'm starting to think like everyone else. They dropped the ball with DAS and EPAS, And now they're bloated too?

The only thing that has slight faith for the Z is that in 2011, Nissan said they'd switch platforms on the Z. The Z, Juke n next gen GTR were supposed to be on a brand new platform. And they supposedly were going to make two more vehicles in Nissan for a total of 5 cars on the new Z platform. That's the Z family people confuse with there actually being 5 Z cars that are crossovers n sedans etc... It's not actual Z cars.they're supposed to all come from the same chassis

The FM platform would become proprietary to ONLY Infiniti. Supposedly, they were going to build the FM platform with lighter steel making the Q60 coupe lighter. About 3400-3500 lbs in rwd coupe form. Turns out their anemic 4 banger is 100lbs heavier than the vq.... fvckin really? So wack. All the reason why I've yet to pull a trigger on a BMW.

So if this is the birth of what was said in 2011? I've little faith the Z will be worth buying if it remains over 3400lbs. Which the Z has gained about 50lbs from 2009 even though we have no no substantial updates.

Chevy lost 300lbs and has that crazy 10 speed auto.line lock feature, drm, and their EPS has a smidgen of feedback, though nothing to write home about.

Mustang promised 400lbs of weight loss. Smh.

Slouches who don't deliver what they spew don't deserve cash....

Fvck em.

Thats what i was trying to say! Concepts are just that. They are these nice ideas but actually making an affordable production car that good is hard. Like i said before, I'm just going to build my 370 nice and slow. I think 3100lbs with full human comfort and close to 400bhp would be way more car then i could ever ask for. Sure ill never beat a corvette or be as light as a brz but thats an awesome middle ground in my opinion! Long live the 370z!!!
