Nissan Z Media Test Drive Event Underway @ Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Nissan Z salt and pepper shaker!!!!! The marketing group at Nissan has been on overdrive since the prototype announcement in August 2021. Since the production release date has been push back toward the second half of 2022, we all can confidently speculate that the parts/manufacturing group--blaming the world-- has been sitting around waiting for pandemic to end. It would be embarrassing if Toyota (w/ their partners) release the Supra MT before the Nissan Z, because those that are willing to pay ADM will likely to jump-ship.

Me on the other hand, not willing to pay ADM, I'll stick with the Nissan Z

How you come to the conclusion there'll be no ADM on the Z?

I was thinking about after 6mo-1yr after the production and hoping the hype will subside.

But to clarify, I don't know if there will be ADM in Houston or not.

What's the story behind it? I see vintage Nissan salt pepper shakers being sold on ebay.

5:07 The automatic sounds much, much better than manual. Assuming it's in sport mode here with the valves open too.

Have you seen any sound videos where someone just cut the muffler off the 370Z . I wonder what it would sound like ? I would assume the new Z would be the same . Any thoughts?

No not quite the same. There's a noticeable difference between the two engines. I wouldn't do a muffler delete personally. It'll be louder yes, but raspy. With a proper cat back exhaust or even just downpipes it'll sound much better.

Doh! Disregard my post

Please explain the difference, aside from recirc

I think he means between the VQ37 and the VR30.

 

[takemorepills]

Whoops! For some reason I had Q60 on the brain!

Which other two engines would I have been talking about?

 

[forcer]

well turbo would be the biggest difference for exhaust. NA engines much louder than turboes when straightpiped, so for Z it should be fine more or less, plus can hear turbos whistling better
