2015 Nissan 370Z NISMO - General Discussion

[ProjectWHaT]

R35 engine in a Z34. Do it. Now.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm not a big fan of the Z to begin with so...it's meh for me

Rather see them be creative and do the Nimso Sentra and Altima along with a production of the juke gtr but I guess dreams are for bed time.

Pretty sure you can buy a Juke-R but it'll cost you about half a mil.

Wrong. V8 from Infiniti

 

[Ameer67]

So, is the red in the front Nismo's new "thing" now?

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Yes.

GT-R bits are expensive. There's a V8 Z34 in Formula Drift. Why not make a production version of that?

How come Infiniti got one.

Why not make a Nismo Altima with a VK56. I know me and several other people would buy it.

I meant more than the 21, you know an actual production. The poor man's GTR like the Camaro is to the Corvette or the Boxster is to the 911

Got to ride in the NISMO Z today. we took it out and did a photo shoot with it and the NISMO GTR and JUKE RS



we had a professional photog there and he is editing the pics.. here is just a cell phone shot

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Annnd.....? How was it?

 

[MCNAGTROC]

I got to drive a 2013 NISMO Z and a regular 370Z at circuit of america last year and the short ride I went on today felt the same in every way. I didnt get to ride but a few miles here and there between photoshoot locations so I cant give a full impression other than to say performance wise it was similar if not identical. This 2015 is more of a facelift with added features like the available Auto ( which I was told was quicker) and the NAV. the overall performance seems to be about the same. this isnt an all new NISMO Z its just a refresh so they can market it along with the new NISMO GTR and Juke.

ask me how was it about the NISMO GTR and I was almost in the floorboard as we did a full acceleration blast down a downhill curve. the last 2K RPM felt significantly faster than my car.

They've made the front more aggressive but removed the larger rear spoiler from the older Nismo. Coupled with them rims, I don't really like it.

What's up with the dude in the suit jacket and daisy dukes @ 0:15?

Business on top, party on the bottom!

 

[MCNAGTROC]

there was a 5K run up there at the event early that morning and a bunch of guys dressed up like that for the run to be funny

when I got up there I too was like WTF until I realized what was going on

Wrong. V8 from Infiniti

V8 (vk45de) from the titan.

 

[Sage Ages]

The Titan has a VK56.

 

[Cale]

The Titan has a VK56.

Titan is VK56DE

The better option would be the VK56VD from Infiniti.

I was was talking about the VK50VE. I think that would be the best fit for the Z.

 

[Sage Ages]

I can't see why they can't put a VK56 in a Z. It's been done before.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Because it's too large to fit in properly.. That engine compartment is designed for V6, not V8.. Same for the hood.

I know there isn't enough clearence for the hood, but I can't see why it can't fit. It has been done quite a few times already. Might be a bit cramp, but it seems possible.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

With dry sump and custom everything, yes, it's been done, but then you're spending ~15k USD and for that much more you'd be better off with a car that had a V8 to start with.

 

[Sage Ages]

yeah.... didn't think of that.

Back to square one.

 

[RocZX]

I can't see why they can't put a VK56 in a Z. It's been done before.

Cause true Japanese sports cars don't have V8 in them.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Everyone wanting a Z with a factory V8 will be disappointed if that turbo I-4 ends up being true for the Z35.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

I'd rather see the turbo I4.
