Where are all the new Z's?

[chadhunley]

I decided to take a 40 min trip up to Nashville cars and coffee at the Nashville Superspeedway, (which is a pretty big event) and to my surprise I saw no new Z's there. I saw 240's 370's 300zx's and only 1 new Z which was mine. I just thought this was strange being that middle TN is Nissan country with their corporate office being here and a couple of their big factories are here as well. I really hope Nissan survives this bizarre car changing world.

I would think that's cool being the only one there, but I like attention lol.

Did your Z get noticed? Positive feedback? Any negative?

The problem is, I parked next to my buddy's RX7 FD. So, having done that, all the attention was on his car. I might have seen a couple of people checking out my car, but no one really noticed. But who cares, I bought it because I like the way it makes me feel! I don't like too much attention anyway!

White Nismo, my favorite Nismo color, awesome. I heard it said that Z's go unnoticed to those who don't know, and I'm starting to see that's true.

Mine was sitting in the garage while I worked on flooring. I'm with you though, I have only seen one other Z in my area on the road.

it's crazy that there were 2 rx7s. i currently own 2 myself, but i never see them on the road. it's been years since i've seen one in the in the wild

Dito…I not only traded in my 2016 NISMO because of that I’m in a real life hot wheel feeling, but because this by far is the true evolution of todays Z…a few years late but that’s ok!

I do find it odd going into the first quarter of 2025 that the 2024 Zs is still being pedaled on Nissans website.

@Z_x3 where did you get the side Z red inserts?

Factory spirit on eBay! Awesome seller. Make sure you read the application notes before installing.

Damnit. I knew that! Got my insert from him, and he mentioned he was developing a side insert!

 

[Z_x3]

Well he did…like I said read the directions. Due to slight curve need to hear the emblem up a bit for it to be pliable…I didn’t and a leg snapped but he quickly sent out a replacement for free!

my read emblem in black is also from him.

I suspect winter hibernation. I'm just a bit north of you (Indy) and there is still a bit of road salt residue and pot holes/craters. I wait for a good amount of rain before I get my toys out. And yes, I'm jealous of your weather/road condition! Good on ya.

I bought the same ones for the side & rear. Very ez to install But it's probably too cold here now.

Yes I'm not seeing 2025 model year Zs advertised for sale. And I haven't been able to find even one legit photo of a 2025 Z in the new shade of red, you'd think there would at least be some marketing photos or review site photos. The Nissan web site for Z still shows 2024 versions. How long does Nissan typically wait into the calendar year to start selling that year's versions?

Rt 17 Nissan still has a 2024 Nismo that was there back in April. (Pretty sure its the same one...)
