Nice. I treat it the other way. My Z is my main driver and the 124 is the weekend track car.

Sakebomb will build you a set. They already have done a Z and are an in house manufacturer along with shock dyno. They have been asking me to use my Nismo for further test fitting. I have Sakebomb Ohlins on my other cars. https://www.sakebombgarage.com/

That is almost more disheartening to know the cars are off to a solid start this season. Happy for them but bummed I can not see it in person. Was planning to go to the Sonoma opening round to support the team. Guess I am not going now.

How much do these cost? I'm not seeing a price. I can get ohlins locally, but I kind of like the idea of nismo version. I found this but it says unavailable. https://nizmopartsplug.com/products/nismo-rz34-z-coilover-suspension-system?variant=48642874999061

I think it is the other way around. NISMO parts in the US are aftermarket vendor parts rebranded with a factory warranty. The parts in the NISMO are actually from NISMO in Japan.

The battery is behind the engine against the firewall. That is not a bad location. Relocating to the back would put it inside the compartment so you would need to do something to protect it and that would suck up space with I think little return. I would just go with lightweight battery if you...

I am rooting for a S16 and S2k twins with the Honda K20. Just like the Supra and Z4 twins. One convertible, one hardtop.

You can drive a 24 Nismo Z in Assetto Corsa. I use VR and it shows what I see on the monitor.

Just saw this. I am in SF/Oakland. Lots of good driving in the area and lots of cars to drive on those roads. This is from yesterday.

Was this tested in the same configuration as what Car & Driver uses for the lightning lap? The NISMO Z seemed to do well in that test. It was .6 second off the manual 3.0 Supra. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a46575369/2024-nissan-z-nismo-lightning-lap-2024/

The balance and suspension design is fundamentally there. The rest is tuning. I don't know about the regular Z, but the Nismo handles well.

Next time you head up let me know. I go as far south as Buttonwillow. I used to live in Santa Monica and spent most my time at Willow Springs and Buttonwillow.

Are you in socal or NorCal?

https://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/a61791233/2024-nissan-z-nismo-review/ Thought this was well said.

Been watching every race this season. Road America was an entertaining race as really all of them have been. The Z has strong power and is very competitive always with a chance to win. Especially with Neudorf in Techsport #23.

I think it's a niche buyer for sure. But I guess I got that niche. I was a cross shopper and the Nismo Z was the least likely purchase for me. I had a deposit on a Lotus Emira I canceled.

Logically driving more is maximizing ROI of ownership. I am not however maximizing ROI as I have three cars to drive and take the train to work. That is illogical. I am getting close to 2k miles after three months. Most of that is from two road trips just to get break in miles. It was taking...
