This is getting ridiculous...I wonder if it will soldier on till 2025 :rofl2:

I cornered the Nissan guy at the Zdayz deck party. Told him what I would like to see for the future. Like that did any good. LOL

get em drunk first. works better.

probably how i knew well in advance about the 3.0TT engine :bowrofl:

I would love to be in the marketing for the 370. *sarcastic tone*

You better hurry and Go grab your new 370z before we keep making them for another 10 years and changing nothing on them...

More press about our Zs...


Nissan Updates the 370Z in Lieu of Delivering a Successor - The Truth About Cars

I got spend a little time with the VP of marketing several of division heads for Nissan USA at ZDAYZ. As everyone knows they chase what most consumers want. They also love the Z. I would say that two guys I spent the most time with both like the 370 more than the GTR and the one guy was over the GTR program before taking his current position.

Okay with all that being said, my take on what I heard and saw and they all were very clear that they don't know anything regarding the future plans of the 370z but I did hear them say the heritage series is a parts bin car. They need to reduce the numbers of Zs and parts. No surprise there. The encouraging thing is they had on display new suspension parts band in Nismo colors and name. They have partnered with SPL to provide them with to parts under the Nissan Nismo brand. They hinted at other products will becoming in the future. So is the Z dead...I don't think so but who the hell really does!

That's cool man. Too bad that one guy didn't have more say. Obviously Nissan won't consider losing money in developing a new Z so the risk is outweighing the possible reward.

I'm willing to be if a new Z came and had the vr30dtt and looked much better than ours now most of us are jumping ship....

This isn't like the 350z to 370z which bumped displacement and shortened it.... we would be talking the one big thing everyone's wanted for well over a decade pushing 2 decades and putting a damn twin turbo from factory so we have a warranty and dont have to shell out 15k to turbo this car and have no motor warranty....

For what is worth...since I started going to ZDAYZ four years ago Nissan presence and participation has grown. There is no doubt that Nissan USA hears us and knows what we want. The deal is it's out their hands and those decisions are being made in Japan. What adds to the confusion at least for me is they have three marketing strategies at play, Nissan, Heritage and Nismo. They all over lap but have very different branding efforts. It seems odd that they would drop the 370 without developing another variant of a Z as Nismo started with the Z. And why start a heritage campaign! I'm sure in the next couple of years we will find out!

Talking with Mike Taylor at ZDAYZ this year. He was the person responsible for bringing the 350 to fruition. We need someone like that now for the next Z.

With everything coming out of Nissan and the media. Nissan seams confused and sending mixed messages. Yeah, something is in the works. No, we don't have a clue.

I could be totally off but I just think if they were going to kill the Z they wouldn’t have had a 2018 and 2019 model. The Evo X came out around the same as the Z and Mitsu killed it in in 2015 to make way for their Crossover and SUV lineup.

If Nissan wanted to make a shift to crossovers and leave the compact sport car segment it doesn’t make sense to keep rolling the Z’s out in my opinion.

True but this is just Nissan squeezing the lemon dry.

Fun fact the last evo X sold for like 110k!! Lol sucker paid a bit too much for that car that didn't even come with recaro seats for the last model!! Lol
Enjoy your lancer seats from an 18k vehicle
