GranTurismoEra Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Light blue will probably be an option as a special edition. Further down the line say 2023 Bright colours are better suited to the 370. I think dark colours better suit this car. The only bright colour that could work is either a light blue, white or nardo grey or red. Thats just me though. Silver gives it a machine type look. Advantage of Silver is it always looks clean if well kept. Edited November 15, 2021 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Suprise, one of the test drivers crashed. 12,000 miles on the clock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) 1 Careful owner. Still about $40,000. 4:40 the auto definitely launches hard. Quickshifts. Might have to research that once its out. Love manual but my left foot needs a break. Hope JATCO improved on Mercedes version and adapted it for this car. Seeing rumors of 4.1 seconds which is not bad for rear wheel drive with 400hp. Edited November 20, 2021 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umster Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 What type of auto is it? Aside from the GTR, Nissan have some really terrible auto transmissions. DCT would be great but at that price point it's gonna have to be CVT no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The GTR DCT isn’t particularly good either: wasn’t great when it first came out, surpassed by almost everything now. The new Z won’t be a CVT, it’s a standard slush box. Another good reason to buy the manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umster Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Yeah it's tech is outdated but it's still fairly reliable provided you keep the GTR stock or if you avoid launching it. If the new Z isn't a daily then definitely got to be manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 It’s reliable enough, but sluggish and doesn’t like launches as you say. Do Nissan still bar you from claiming on warranty after a set amount of launches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 2008 launch warranty issues dont think so. The auto has launch control feature not sure on the manual. Im not sure how it compares to DCT. Its similar to the one used in the C200 coupe but adapted for this car. Gear ratios and features are in the features thread. The manual will come with a Carbon Prop shaft. its around half a second quicker to 60 than previous auto and manual 370Z. I see the Z being able to launch again without any issues due to the rear grip and managed launch control. For the price of £28800 to £35000 excluding shipping its not bad considering competition. They just need to include an LSD on the sport spec. They also left out a lot of the unecessary safety tech from the Sport trim which is good.

GranTurismoEra Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) White Z spotted in Tennessee and famous tail of the dragon. Looks like the performance spec Edited November 22, 2021 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmale4yu Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 These real life shots are what we really need tbh Can see why some people won't like the front end. Easier to disguise by getting a darker colour with Blue being the sweet spot. Would def like to see this side by side with an F type to compare size/proportions to give it something to compare it against that we see on UK roads regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortPaul Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Really not keen on the look of it, much prefer my V2 all day long 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 That view from inside the car is exposing the overbearing gaping grill. The aftermarket better get to work. There will be money to be made from some snazzy "angular" redesign. Some flair maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't do a lot for me currently, maybe my opinion will change when I see one for real. If I were to buy another similar two door after the Z, which I'm unlikely to do, right now it would be the BMW, sorry, Toyota Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortPaul Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Got to say i am not keen on the supra either, i prefer the supra from the late 90's but that's just my choice 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 My brothers got the A80 a real head turner. Hoping to get a ride in it in summer and see how it compares to the 370Z. It has a 4 speed auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmale4yu Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Anyone know how long the 350z Super GT was used for until the GTR R35 replaced it? Would give an indication of the R36 release year. Esp as the R36 will replace the new Z racecar above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Are they hinting at a 370 mk 1 Nismo style bumper for the Street Nismo version? I think R36 concept may be imminent but release wouldn't be till 2025/26 at the very least. R35 I reckon has 18 more months. They have to go Petrol Hybrid to be able to sell in Europe and Australia. Or develop a cleaner engine. I dont think it will have the same parts bin production as Z. Looking at 4 times the cost of Z investment. Just wonder if the sales will justify the investment. What will the pricing be? £100,000?! Edited December 11, 2021 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Around 6:00. Seems the exhaust is reserved. Needs a damn straight pipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
