Yeah I read that magazine when I was at the grocery store... my 15 min grocery trip turned into an hour! Haha

It gives a couple photos and talks about the Z35. The picture isn't an official concept though which is mildly frustrating. I saw the 350z concept in person in 02 and it was VERY close to the real 350z they made...

This photo may be Nissan testing the waters with one sketch but it slightly contradicts them bring in old 240z ques as that Z looks more futuristic with no retro style from the 240z....

I should get ready to go into business to make a replacement grill as it seems that hideous grill keeps popping into every Nissan... first mod change the grill at the dealer before I drive off with that horrible grill haha!!

New bumper, new grill.

You guys are late to the party, look a few pages back, a member already posted the article from that magazine

Here's the post for all that didn't see:

At this point all we can do is hope and wish that it happens!

Let's hope the front bumper looks better. I want to stick with a carbon lip kit and not have to change an entire front if it's fugly. If a lip and new grill will make it look good that would be ideal... Please take note Nissan :)

Nissan- look at the Amuse, Airwalker, even the 2015 Nismo front bumper and take some notes.
1. Allow for a good size "Mouth" to showcase a front mount.
2. Have brake cooling side ducts or at least the visual appearance there are.
3. Don't use the same grill you use on the altima/maxima. A Nissan Emblem will suffice for people knowing it's a Nissan.
4. LED markers are good but don't make too much of a statement with them. If you do take note of the Lexus IS front LEDs that blend with the headlights well.
5. Have a front lip, make it functional and visually appealing.

Thanks Nissan for listening :) haha

:iagree::iagree:

Better late then never lol great thanks:tiphat:

Yea....im not digging that front end.

The GTR refresh drawing looked like shyt. The GTR front in the end turned out great. I wouldn't worry about the front.

That design looks pretty good to me... that side shot looks especially nice. :tup:

Difference between now and then is that back in 96 Nissan was in financial trouble...that was before the Renault rescue.

Z32 was a great car but got a reputation as being miserable to work on and as you stated, it was priced way too high. Same thing killed the Supra. Funny thing is though...those old Z32 TT cars can be had for sub $10k for a decent one now, and a high mileage same vintage supra is going for well north of $20k in the used market.

I'm torn on which of those cars I like better......

I just sold my 1985 Z31 last week. They sold more of those that year than the entire run thus far of Z34s.

Hey guys, check this video out. It's the Q50 with the new VR30DTT motor that should be in the next Z. Remember when you watch this video the Z should be 400-600 pounds lighter and probably slightly more power!!

A couple notes I noticed, boost looks to kick in around 3K and tacs out around 6800ish rpms. The Guage literally jumps from 3K to 6k and he's rocking TCS on!! I know TCS on my 350z shut the throttle down to control traction.... so keep all I said in mind and now imagine this in a tiny 3000 pound car. I would of course get a manual. The gear ratios could be slightly different as well which could add even more.

This video you can hear the engine :) yum

Cool videos! I'm concerned about "drive by wire" and hope that isn't part of the Z - we want MORE connection with the car not less.

One of the comments below the second video:

This bodes well indeed for the new Z using this powerplant!

I said Nissan was being conservative with BHP after seeing that 1/4 mile run.

they drop into a Z35 even with weight going up a bit that thing will fricking fly.
