2024 Nissan Z Nismo Revealed with 420 HP / 384 LB-FT + Auto Transmission Only

[MCN1SMO]

Ahh yeah I see what you are talking about. That's similar fitment to the carbon ones I put on my GTR NISMO they were just the under pieces but they fit like that. With a little gap then a little short up to the edge

 

[Hubert]

Yeah, they should improve this, but I doubt we'll get something better.

Unrelated, my Z still bounces. The dealership claims they don't have the exact specs in their system. So they changed the 'toe' to match the 2023 Performance version. Since the front LMGT4 that I currently have on are 9.5 width, maybe that is OK for the fronts, but I am going to have to restore the toe for the rears and hope that improves it.

The impact sensor accessory is still not working. The dealership believes it is defective and they'll need to install a replacement.

Awesome review from Matt F!

So are the Recaro seats ok for long road trips?

I noticed the seats are not heated, and are completely manually adjusted.

I have my name on a Stealth Grey Nismo, but I doubt they will let me test drive it before buying it.
I would trade in my black Performance MT, but the jury is still out.

 

[Hubert]

Depends on your size. The seats are a bit narrow. They will break-in over time, but you have to figure out what is more important for you.

 

[MCN1SMO]

they are fine for me but im like 5'7" I will say that if you just leave the seat in your driving position you kind of need to slither your way out of them a bit its a little tight.

in depth interview with Tamura about the Z NISMO technical aspsects

https://car.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/interview/1555975.html

Tamura reveals the top speed of the NISMO is 173mph vs 155 for the performance and 136 for the Sport


Mr. Tamura:"AT has also been strengthened. The changes were made mainly by increasing the number of clutches on the low-speed gears to prevent slipping when shifting up and down. I took on the challenge of overturning the preconception that AT is no good. With a manual transmission, the drive is interrupted the moment you step on the clutch. In that case, even if NISMO's MT were released, it would be defeated by the AT of the standard car. I wondered what that would be like. I think it's still difficult for people to understand that kind of attitude. It's difficult because there is a perception that NISMO is a fast car. It's not just about speed, it's about having fun controlling it, so you can forgive a slight loss in time, and if we get feedback from customers, it might be possible to create one. However, the reality is that it is currently unthinkable."

Don't trade in. You will lose $10k plus you will be paying $15k extra for Z Nismo. That's $25k more than where you are currently with your Z Performance.

I'm okay with the Recaro seats. They are difficult to manually adjust but it works out okay once they are all set.

yeah if you cant walk away from the performance pretty much even it makes the NISMO a much harder decision. I got lucky and was able to make the move literally right before the market drastically changed.

Here's a bonus show with my other Nismo, which is getting a NISMO Carbon LSD.

I just dug a old shot of mine up using google search from my350z lol

I remember it well! Mine is undergoing much deserved maintenance and improvements. I got the new NISMO Carbon LSD installed with 3.9 final drive gears and it grips very aggressively.

I upgraded the alarm and sound system last week and I think a new timing chain will be the next big overhaul later this year.

 

[MCN1SMO]

yeah it was a V1 base with a carbon weave overlay top. I dont think I have any pics of it but this one

I started out with the JDM V1 front bumper and just the track edition spoiler

 

[MCN1SMO]

I just got some crazy info thats kind of shocking. there are over 735 additinal NISMOs in production for the US in addition to what as already been sold
