GranTurismoEra Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Wow. They should do something with the exhaust. Everything else looks good to me. Hope they implement the cross bar on the grill from the test cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Magazine from Japan. Only really interested in the Z render. Wheels looks good but as long as its not simply gloss black. Wouldn't be a Nismo without a bodykit. Red Katana sword maybe seen as tacky though. There should be an option for body coloured roof on the standard car. The red at the back needs to be left out. Not really needed Edited June 12, 2021 by GranTurismoEra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Muxlow Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I do like the look of that. Interesting indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Why are they still bothering with artist renders? They’re still just made up by a bloke sitting alone in a studio somewhere who has no idea what any potential Nismo might look like, it’s utterly pointless guesswork. We need to see the finished base car first ffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were renders in the past based on what Nissan USA insiders were shown. Not far off. I guess sales will dictate if a Nismo exists. Tamura already said it depends on what the market demands. I predict the sales will be good if priced well. The 370Z was still selling in USA till end of production. Also looking at search analytics on a video age groups 25-34 and 45 -55....4 markets that will 100% buy the Z as is.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Could be orientation but grill looks a bit shorter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmale4yu Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 It is noticeable how the trademark 370z beefy wheel arches on front and rear have been ditched for a more squared fender profile. This will undoubtedly make the car easier to maneuver esp in tight situations compared to the 370z which had blind corners front and rear. I think the side crease that runs along the new car should make up for that however. Not really sure its better looking then the 370z Nismo Mk2 but its more attractive then the 370z GT imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 To be honest it only pips the 2009 GT. No where near the Nismo. I think with a simple bodykit it could change things. A different front bumper with an angular grill. A modification that allows wider rear lights too. In trying to emulate the old Z they went with straighter lines as opposed to curved for a more retro look. Attached is whats possible if say aftermarket wanted to keep it simple. It makes sense for Nissan to start making models available like Toyota have with the 86. So aftermarket development of parts can start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Nissan Australia President states it may not be as fast as the Supra or have launch control. Its not about that apparently. Which makes me think they wont do anything to the 5 year old VR30 like increasing Torque or power etc. Probably saving that for the Nismo which will probably be conservative. The unveil is August 17th at 1AM on Nissan Youtube. https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/nissan-z-to-deliver-what-toyota-supra-cant-130824 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Yeah saw that Its gona be on my PowerPoint presentation though lool... Lets get the base car first at least some basic specs and price then can discuss the "clout" version 😂 Edited July 9, 2021 by GranTurismoEra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I think next year to hopefully see a Import Nismo RS 400z sliding out of a tight bend on a track will be very special. No doubt a Litchfield tuned version will go like stink also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Not so sure if people are on this car like that. Hard to tell...The premium its costing in VAT and Import duty. Might as well be called stamp duty..... We shall see though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Fairlady Z trademarked in the US. While Ford have trademarked "Skyline". Looking closer looks like its been applied to merchandise and parts. Time will tell For Ford might be a case of Nissan not using skyline currently in Europe or US so why not Edited July 20, 2021 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 AMS are looking to build a big bore 1000hp development car. and JATCO are adapting the 9 speed for the car. Hope gearbox is improved over the 370. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a white production car with camo as part of the 3 test cars. Others are Silver and Grey. The pic lacks some detail but I think its real. The seats have a white stitching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) lol turns out its most likely photoshopped like 80% as the test cars dont have GTR brakes. I noticed a few people posted it on IG after i did in worse quality. 😂. But hey Id take one without the GTR brakes thank you.

But maybe a bit flattering since this is one the best angles you can shoot it at (other then side profile) - it conceals the gaping front end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
