Ive already started to save up :twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents:

It's exciting. I'm just nervous the Z will get our hydraulic steering unit with a numb steering rack. I'm PRAYING NO!!!!!

I'm right there with you on that. I actually want to go test drive a Q with the DAS and see how bad it actually is

As bad as having an auto :stirthepot:

:rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

But my auto is faster than your manual.......

Here we go again....

But true (Faster) :icon17:

:iagree:

The amount by which your bitch sticks are supposedly faster is statistically insignificant. Your preference of an automatic just makes you a bitch :stirthepot:




Oh $hit ... wrong thread :icon17:

:rofl2:

Wait, they make "sports cars" with automatic transmissions? :rofl2:

When they first offered the 240Z with an automatic in the early 70's that version of the car became known as a "Secretary Special" because of the demographics of the buyers. It more hideously transformed into a 2+2 version for secretaries and their rugrats.

I still consider the Z with an automatic as a chickmobile or made for millenials who never learned to drive a car with a manual transmission as god and Karl Benz intended.

And yeah I know about some cars like the GTR and others that are only autos but we are talking about when you have a choice.

This thread has been seriously derailed. :ugh2:

:rolleyes: Sorry.....

I wonder if the Z35 will come standard with the dreaded "steering lock" :roflpuke2:

Or the CSC issue.

Yes, it will have multiple slotted holes spaced 1/8" apart all around it. It will fasten to the steering wheel and will not unlock until you shake the wheel.....:roflpuke2:

















Oh wait..... that was GM..... NVM......:owned:

Well, notwithstanding the degree of insult inflicted on self-described "sports car purists", I think, we can probably expect all flavors of the Z to offer the 7AT as an option, as it seems to be the only available trans on the Q60 (and is now available on latest Nismo, plus was always an available option on all the Japanese models), it would be weird for them to simply not bother to include it.

I'll buy the most powerful one I can afford that also has the 7 speed. I love that trans, and after tuning, its really, really fast on the gear changes.

Of course, I'm pretty sure there will be a 6MT version for each as well, so something for everyone :tup:

Actually, does anyone know if there are mechanical differences between the 300 and 400 bhp 3.0TT models? Is it all just tune, or does the 400 hp one have differently sized turbos?

EDIT: According to A Deeper Look at Infiniti's New Twin-Turbo 3.0-liter V-6

Well, shit. That's pretty exciting! That all sounds upgradeable via tuning and maybe a few other minor changes, like the speed sensor they mentioned. I wonder about the motor mounts, tho...

Honestly IDGAF whether it is manual or automatic, as long as it is fun. The fun factor is a must. I own a Juke nismo AWD CVT, it is still fun to drive. People crack me up with the whole manual vs automatic thing much like muscle vs import, to each their own and be happy.

I hope nissan has good plan for next fairlady z cause that q60 is damn hot!

7sp manual would be awesome. Let's face it, no one goes 55 on the highway.

I don't know if Nissan has a 7MT in their parts bin. I'm guessing a 6MT and 7AT will be the options, but you never know.

So talking to Seb, the car has 2 sets of cats. These tests were done with secondary down pipes, meaning the main cats (he said the main ones were pretty wide so that's good at least) were still in place. This means those who want to maintain stock cats (at leat the primaries) can still run some partial downpipes for gains and those who don't care can get better gains than these (all of which are pre-tune BTW). This is all for the q50 which I assume will be the same on the q60. Not sure if the z35 setup will be the same.

I'm praying we get shocked with a 7DCT on Nismo models.... That's the holy moly long shot of the century. But one must keep hope alive...

Lol

Someone mentions auto v. Manual and they all lose their minds.

I am an engine of chaos haha

Cats? Nah those will all be gone if they make a z and I get ahold of it.

Full straight exhaust :yum:

Agent of chaos*

That means there is probably still a good bit of power yet to be unlocked. Are the secondary cats the ones with the secondary O2's? If so, and if they haven't done any tuning yet, did they see any evidence of a pending code or CEL?

Not that those are deal breakers by any stretch, but just be good to have an idea what we're in for.

Also, if no tuning yet, was it running approximately stock level of boost? I'm guessing so if they can't adjust fueling or ignition advance yet.

Oh, I almost forgot -- was that the one rated to 400 or 300? I'm guessing the former. Although, gain, looks like besides tune, the major differences are a speed sensor for the turbos and beefier motor mounts.

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

If you saw my screen you'd know the struggle and autocorrect is retarded with it now.

No tuning boost was around 14psi stock after exhaust it was mid 15's.

It was a 400hp model and baseline was around 360whp i believe.

AFR Sensor-Cat-O2-Cat

My sister's van is that way. My Mazdaspeed was like that, too.

The Q60 will probably feel like it has no soul at the wheel. But on the pedal. It's gonna kick some serious ***....

My Juke too.

Soul can be programmed in :p

Interesting. So then one option would be to delete the second cat but not the first... I guess a lot of the power comes from the downpipe swap tho, which I'm guessing eliminated the first cat.

Hm. Anybody know if the fuel injectors and fuel pumps are the same between the two variants as well.

If not, I'm starting to think the 300 hp model + Nissan p/n turbo speed sensor + upgraded motor mounts from somewhere + uprev tune = 400 hp Z on the cheap.

Well, assuming everything is plug and play interchangeable.

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?

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.

looks like the q60 red sport is finally up on their website
