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

DOOMMONKEY777

Hi gang!!! My biggest question here since the new Z expected to have auto tranny is, will the Z be AWD or RWD?

The Z has never been AWD. I doubt it will be now. I believe that is the logic between having a GTR and a Z. One is RWD sports the other AWD.

Is it me or you make no sense? You asked if the Z will have AWD then tell me DUUHH, u know that. Now you're making an incoherent statement with no fact behind it....

This forum has gone to shyt.

The reason i asked is because, about a week ago, this guy was on my tail like crazy, anyways we pull up to a red light. he has the new Q60 coupe(2doors) AWD with TTVQ.

So asked him, does he have a switch or something to go from AWD to RWD?? He answers NO, but there is this electrical link that if you unplug thats located in the back of the car(he dint specify where exactly) the car will become RWD. This is why i asked.

AWD on the Q or GTR is NOT full time. It never has been. The car is ALWAYS in RWD UNLESS the car senses loss in traction, then in milliseconds it activates to enable AWD. I believe their are aftermarket controllers and overrides for part time AWD. He must've had extensive knowledge n just knows where that controller plugs in. So he just disconnected the wire without actually using the aftermarket part.

Better to save the extra 200lbs n buy RWD.

LMFAO!!!! Are you Fvcking serious??? All that technology for MILLISECONDS of use??? WOW!!!!!

Well i tell you what...That Q60 is the next GTR killer.

EDIT: unless Z35 has the SAME platform....>_>

EDIT#2: thinking now....i see why they did it like that, is to save on drive terrain loss and still use it during slip, not to lose time on launch or w/e.

Well no, it reacts in milliseconds to go from RWD to AWD.

Won't be a GTR killer without aftermarket turbos, there's zero headroom in the OEM turbos. They're SMALL. Plus the 7AT can't take heavy mods, even in the new car. We'll have to wait to see if a dual clutch changes the situation. The Q60, as is, is in the same boat as the 2nd gen car being it'll take a ton of money to make it seriously fast.

Rwd. That's the Z. Always has been always will.

Never will be awd also due to then being a competitors to its own flagship gtr.
