Nissan 370Z Forum  

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

Many of the renderings are thicker/chunkier than the actual car shown by Nissan. Not a fan of that. Keep it lean and mean.

I don't know folks … the "most-realistic-to-production" drawings I've seen thus far look too much like my '17 with tweaks to the sheet metal.

I was really excited when I saw this version; and, I think this is what the Z needs for its next gen …

I actually feel like that one shouts Hot Wheels a little too much. I like the previous render. Looks very similar to the silhouette

Haven’t checked the forum for awhile and this is great news! Personally I like the Autoguide render the best as it pays homage to the original 240Z the best but with a modern vibe. If it comes with a stick and drives well, 2022 may be the year to part ways with my M2.

How is the M2? Any issues with it? I've always appreciated that car for what it is.

babyzilla, My M2 has been trouble/issue free so far (knock on wood). I follow the M2 forum on Bimmerpost and it looks like the original M2's have been very dependable with only few minor issues. The M2 Competition with the S55 (M3) engine which came out at the end of 2018 has slightly more issues, which included a few engine swap outs by BMW. However I believe those issues have been worked out, as I haven't seen anything on this for awhile.

I really enjoy mine. It's faster in every aspect vs the 370, is definitely more parctical and the vision is great. A few things I miss about the Z, hydraulic steering (M2 is really precise and very good for electric). Shifter as the gates feel better defined in the Z, plus the M2's feels a little rubbery and the height, length of the clutch pedal travel. The M2's one is really long and the top stop point is about an inch and a half above the brake pedal. I've put in a BMS clutch stop to shorten it but it still comes too high. However the pedal's weighting is good, it's light and excellent for DD duties plus it's the damn easiest 6mt I've ever driven!

I plan to keep it at least 5 years before making a switch. I really hope the 400Z is a winner and makes it a hard decision for me to keep the M2 any longer

I was replying to the 'fridge door handles' comment - not saying there won't be door handles at all.

Personally I'm glad. I've been told the technical reason for the 350/370s having those door handles (and apparently it was technical, not for styling purposes), but I won't repeat what I've been told, because it's not important - what's important is they've got rid of them.

They've got the headlamp housing wrong though. Think 240z.

amusing thought:
Nissan reuses the transmission

keeps the plastic CSC

third generation of failures

still says no problem

I think the smaller Aston/Jaguar-esque headlight route would be fitting. The original Z carried European inspiration and doing that in similar vein, as opposed to just reinterpreting the 240Z, would be more tasteful imo. Quite frankly, that makes a good looking car regardless of continental inspiration.

No offense to anyone though, but it's pretty annoying to see car sites try to pass some random illustrations just for clickbait. Some of these interpretations are just baseless or go a delirious path without any realistic engineering sense behind it...and then some people get overly invested in criticizing it or as if it's actually it.

It'll be more exciting if/once we set test mules. MKV Supra forum was getting really close to the production model.

I could be happy with almost any headlight if the CSC problem has been resolved.
