So did I. I have a tattoo of my dad leaning on his old Datsun Fairlady, but unfortunately... it's just not there.
I'm sure aftermarket will help a lot, but replacing the whole front end is both expensive, and has all the same paint matching challenges you run into doing fenders on the Supra.
We just have to remember that Nissan had the bigger restriction of being broke. It's a parts bin special. They had to create a new car using mostly old parts/ chassis. So instead of major downgrades they only had minor upgrades from the 370z.
That was my thing with the 350 and 370. I was a huge Nissan fanboi, i geeked so hard on the 300zx in the 90's not to mention dreamed of GTR's and had 280's plastered all over my wall. My old boss got the new Maxima every time they came out with a new one, I wanted an Altima for a family car as at the time same engine smaller lighter car. When the 350 came out i spent some time in it and was just like... idk.. it didn't feel special to me. same with the 370, I got to spend a ton of time in that car and nothing made me ever want it. I then just fell out with Nissan, stopped caring about GTR's, especially 80's and 90's versions. Like I've been in some bad ass R32's and 34's and just meh. The R35 was a beast I see the desire, but I don't now the Z's just haven't been there for me. I dont feel any "heritage" there either ........ I dont feel it with the Supra either for the z fanbois lurking here lol.
I was meaning more along the lines of the Vorsteiner M4 grill replacement/aftermarket front lips and the like as opposed to an entirely new front end.
That looks amazing! that front bumper immediately made it feel like a modernized 240/270Z. Would be nice if the aftermarket space makes something like itI'm not a huge fan of the new Z looks wise, but the proto concept Nissan showed off with the different bumper looks way better than the one that's actually coming out.
That's a huge improvement over the actual design. They really should have gone with that front end.I'm not a huge fan of the new Z looks wise, but the proto concept Nissan showed off with the different bumper looks way better than the one that's actually coming out.
I'm dead ???There is just no fixing the headlights on the Z. I really want to like it, wanted to pick one up as a daily, but someone posted a meme with a picachu comparison and now that’s all I see ?
Honestly I don't know why everyone is so funny about a manual. I've owned a 98 tt 6 speed it was cool not worth over 100k in today's market in my opinion. Half the time now days auto is faster for example our c7 z06. The auto is a 10.95 stock the manual is 11.2 nostalgia or whatever is cool until an auto comes bye you just saying.
